Well my mood never did get much better yesterday. My shelf never got hung last night. When I got home from work with fast food (I wasn't in the mood to cook and I really wanted a burger) I found out that the dryer was being delivered again. So the dryer gets there and we hook it up and again it doesn't work. The element heats up, but the dryer doesn't spin. The appliance guy looks at it and says it worked at the shop. He tests the outlet on the O Meter and come to find out it's not sending out the currents properly. He takes the plate off the outlet after I thought I shut the right breaker off and come to find out there is a wire not attached. We get it all fixed the dryer works, so I decide to do some laundry in my own home for the first time in 2 years! I wash the clothes, put them in the dryer and the dryer isn't venting properly, it got so hot that I decide it's dangerous so ended up at the laundromat at 9pm doing my laundry.
I tried to hang my shelf by myself last night and ended up putting a hole in my wall. Also, there is something wrong with the hose for the dishwasher as it's not draining properly either. I guess this is all part of life and I just need to calm down usually these little things don't bother me. I usually just laugh them off.
I talked to my friend last night at length while I was at the laundromat. I am not an angry person and I don't like this feeling. I think we figured out that the homesickness I have been feeling is probably the major culprit of my mood, then to have all of this crappy weather since really the first week of August it's no wonder I'm miserable.
My brother knows how homesick I am and last night he posted a video on my FB wall about this guy that doesn't take time to talk to his mother and then is shocked when his mother is diagnosed with Alzheimers and doesn't remember him. I thought that was pretty insensitive of my brother, it's not like I'm trying to ignore my Mom, he won't allow her to have a phone so I can't just pick up the phone and call her. The deal was he would call me when he went to see her every time and he either isn't calling or isn't visiting. I have only talked to my Mom twice since her birthday on May 1st.
Ok enough B***ching. Here's a pretty scene out my office window this morning.
Does your mom live in a nursing facility?
Yes she does, she was put in last year in December. I live in Alberta, they are in New Brunswick. It's about $1000 for a flight home, which is why I haven't been able to go visit.2 -

Can you contact the nursing home and arrange a time with them that you can call in and they hand the phone to your mom? I have found that the staff will do all they can to connect people with loved ones. Another thought, that I have done is to arrange to send an email to the nursing home, and with photos if they can print them, and then take them to your mom for her to read or to be read to.
Are there things you can give up that will enable you to save $100/month?
It is hard being so far away from parents.3 -

I haven't tried calling the home to see if they would be willing to do that, that's a great idea! I do send her cards with pictures in it and I have an acquaintance that works in the home that shows her the pictures and videos I post on fb. I can ask them about sending an email too.
Right now we are struggling just to pay our bills. My husband works seasonal and is about due to be on layoff again. (This snow is not helping that situation at all). I am in a position that I am on call 24/7 for the company that I work for so have to be able to take calls and possibly attend a site, so even other jobs that I have applied for as a part time job won't take me. I have been thinking of trying to come up with some more crafts that aren't just Christmas-y so I can open a shop on Etsy or something to earn some extra money.2 -

There's always someone getting married and always a kids birthday!
I have actually made wedding invitations for about 10 weddings now. Birthday parties for kids is a good idea.... I could do paint parties or a craft party with them.2 -
Ah messed up today. As of now I'm only just in the green but i will be over by tonight!
But going to keep the damage as minimal as possible!
Will update in the morning! Spending the night watching movies with OH. Never know might burn some calories there
2 -
@bex953172 - That's a great way to burn calories, helps the moods too! I am just thinking about lunch here, with the snow I feel like soup is a good way to go. 2

Snowflake had snow! Wow. Took the kid on a sailing schooner today. Lovely here in Chesapeake Bay but of course, afterward he was sick...as in drive home very fast and shower him and his clothes down. Allergies I think and he did not take his pill. Oh well, he feels better and I have sprayed a pine scented can of air freshener. I feel off the wagon big time but the calorie count is reading about 1200 for the one meal. Will just have to wade back onto the boat with you all. Mixed metaphors.
Okay, will be drinking water rest of day (sounds good as all that food must be still in my throat).
Going to mow as in haven't mowed in weeks-guess I will use the push mower but maybe try riding mower. Got to get son back onto his classes he missed today. I need bigger shin guards for him and soccer game is 11 am tomorrow. Back to calories, water, and try exercise.
Hope all well. Can a see a bit better.4 -
You would think with my screen name I liked snow wouldn't you LOL2

It's Friday!!! Ok, I know you knew that, but it means we made it through another weekday. Applaud yourselves. We pushed, pulled, shouted, pouted, and made it back on here to love on each other through it all.
Hugs @Faebert and your sister...
As for me, you each added your own ingredients to my pot and gave me strength to endure my hard days... FROM MY HEART I THANK ALL OF YOU👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I Hope we lived closer to one another... We could have a grand Pajama Party🎉🎈🎇🎆🎇🎈Partaaay🎉🎈🎇🎆🎇🎈 😁6 -

My house is mostly back in order! Hubby hung the shelf. We have the dishwasher draining and found out the problem with the dryer overheating was because the vent cover outside had been painted shut!!!! We olso ordered the track for the barn style door for the bathroom so we can actually open the door all the way with the dryer in it!
Oh!!!! Yesterday afternoon the nursing home my mom is in popped up on Facebook as “people you may know” they just started it last week and there is a picture of my Mom!
I’m feeling happy and positive today for the first time in a week! Thank you all for your patience and guidance!
Have I told you lately how much I love this group?

Good afternoon my fair ladies!
Yesterday was great! It was my last day of work before my vacation and it was the day we observed our 4 year wedding anniversary. I didn't care about food for a single instant yesterday. Lol. I ended up eating like half a dozen fresh specialty donuts from a bakery down the road from the bank. MG bought for them for me! I could go on for hours about how awesome she is and how much I really really like her but that would take up too much time. Just know that she is the total and complete opposite of she who just not be named. It's really nice to have a comfortable work environment. She also bought me lunch (BLT and French fries). And apparently she's getting me something next Monday for my birthday. Lol. She's amazing!
Dinner we went to our favorite little Italian place and I had chicken roasted red pepper vodka. It was amazing! I also bought us cupcakes from a bakery down the street from the bank who is also one of our customers. 😁 It was just a really good day. I went to bed kind of early because I got up at 6 yesterday morning to feed my Godmommy's cat before work. So I was pooped by like 10!
We slept until 11 this morning before I remembered I had to feed the cat again 😆😂 I ran and did that and have been sitting on the couch since.
Today is the first day of a 9 day vacation! We are doing some house stuff and a day trip or two but that's about it. So onto today's goals!

Recap 9/21 TGIF
1) Walked dog 2.66 mi 46:01 before work / had to shorten route since another me/alarm fail ~ apparently I forgot to unmute my phone after choir last night & "missed" my alarm / no time for stretching = happy dog
& ok me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 12,213 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 73 floors
3) Meals & snacks prelogged, including veggie pizza at BFF's tonight / don't go overboard with friends ~ enjoy 1-2 adult beverages / keep net calories reasonable / 12c water = Did ok, only one (largish) adult beverage... net calories estimated -46, sodium -1,345 (yikes), sugar green (yay), fiber low-ish, protein good & 10c water Anyway, it was a fun evening 
4) Taking Kitty and dog to vet after lunch for routine visits / last year took hubby and me 3 tries with Kitty / don't stress & have positive attitude that we will get Kitty in carrier = Hubby & I followed our plan so she didn't suspect us, got Kitty on first try (thank you God ~ I'm pretty good at the scruff hold ~ way better than hubby ) and vet visits done for the year
Had a very roller coaster day at work Friday: issued draft report on recently closed project and received some positive feedback for once, then some very negative news ~ due to past mgmt decision, I may not qualify for wage increase. This despite fact I've rec'd every incentive bonus possible in the last two quarters. I'll discuss with manager on Mon. since she was off Fri. ~ out of my control, and I'm trying not to freak over the weekend.
JFT Sat. 9/22
1) Farmers market: bought lots of yummy produce including my favorite apples, Cortland, fresh salmon, eggs, pears, veggies, and finally got my free loaf of bread from Great Harvest (filled my bread card up). Now have all the veggies for pot roast.
2) Walked dog 3.59 mi 1:02:52 on gorgeous last day of summer = happy dog
& happy me
3) Errands w/ hubby (free air in car tires & everything on sale except electrical fixtures we needed ~ I always love when we can get everything on sale ). Later I assisted him while he replaced double light switches in kitchen ~ we found some very scary wiring inside the wall, probably there since house was built 29 years ago, we're just really glad there hasn't been an electrical fire. 
Hubby was able to figure out screwy wiring & fix properly... tomorrow when he finds his electrical tape, we'll finish up the job.
4) Belated anniversary dinner (only 1 month later) w/ hubby at Red Lobster & we shared dessert ~ I logged everything, which is surely an NSV. Net calories nearly double the usual (very red) & sodium sky-high, but no regrets! 
5) Finally balanced bank accounts & remembered to make online payment for cc on day before due ~ whew!
6) Prep veggies tonight to go into crockpot before church tomorrow
7) Bed by 11:00
JFT Sun. 9/23
1) Put veggies & roast in crockpot for supper
2) Bible class & church
3) Walk dog
4) Packers game on TV noon
5) Wash dishes
6) Find & update last weekly weigh-in post
7) Net calories green & 12c water
8) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / verify alarm, in bed & TV off 10:30 (walk dog M before work)4 -

Argh I don't know how I did yesterday.
I was at the MILs and logged pretty accurately but forgot to weigh my plate when it came to the spaghetti bolognese (she said I could) she also baked a cake with the girls and I had a little bit of that too. And I have no idea how many calories were in that.
I had 800 calories before all that, I was definitely over. I must have been
Today I just want to be strict.
I need to log accurately and I need to drink 8 glasses of water!
Don't want to mess up!5 -

This is kind of a big update, but posting here really helps hold me accountable. I want you all to have an idea of what's going on, so that you can yell at me if I start slacking! Overall, the last week has gone REALLY well, and I want to keep it up!
I live rural (no cell service, 45 min drive to nearest grocery - RURAL). Since Hubby got a new job in the city, we have a house there, as well (We'll consolidate and all live there at the end of this school year). For now, we spend weekends there. That means I'm only at the rural house from late Sun to early Fri. The only internet available there is satellite. It sucks and is wicked expensive, so I cancelled it. That means I only have access to MFP from school and from the new house. Most days, I'll pre-track dinner before I leave school and finalize everything the next morning and post my JFT here. I cannot use this as an excuse to quit logging or posting! This is me committing to sticking with it!
JFT - Saturday
I did log everything, but it came out to about 1900 calories. It's still less than it would have been, had I not been logging.
JFT - Sunday- Log everything (even if it means writing it on paper and updating here once I get to school in the morning)
- Keep it under 1400 calories
Just for today, I can make this work and keep my eating reasonable. Maybe tomorrow I'll gorge myself on stupid stuff and turn into a blimp, but Just For Today I'm going to make good choices.5 -
JFT
Run 10 miles
Log my food
Read for half an hour

I hope things work out for your wage increase, bad news on a Friday that you have to sit on all weekend always sucks, but it seems you still had a good weekend.
We are in the same boat with electrical issues. We had to replace all outlets when we moved in here except dryer and stove, we learned last week we should have looked at them too.2 -

I understand Rural that’s how I grew up, my brother still has no cell service. Pencil and paper is a great idea, buy yourself a little notebook to keep with you. The first time I lost weight that’s how I tracked it. You can do it!3 -

Hi all I’m way behind but hope everyone is doing ok and I will try and catch up later.
I’ve had a rough few days. My sister had her scheduled double mastectomy with reconstruction on Friday. I stayed at my boyfriend’s place on Thursday night as he is quite close to the hospital and started Friday well with a walk 3.5 miles to be there for 7:30 (I figured I’d be sitting around for much of the day so may as well get some outside activity while I could do got up at 5:30 to squeeze it in). We waited hours and hours and she was eventually taken into theatre at around 2pm. I was on my own until she woke up around 6pm. Thereafter was a bit of a disaster as something had gone wrong and she only had one implant and was confused and upset and no one could answer any questions as the consultant had gone home.
It’s a very long story but to cut it short, she will hopefully be fixable cosmetically but will require more surgery further down the line. We will get results and hopefully an all-clear next monday.
We are all exhausted. I was there 16 hours Friday, 13 hours yesterday. My mother has been working herself into the ground looking after our kids, my niece who has disabilities got taken ill at one point yesterday, and I seem to have fallen out with my boyfriend who has not been the most supportive.
I’ve barely slept and eaten nothing but junk and I feel physically and emotionally wrecked. Can’t believe I have to go to work tomorrow. But all of that pales in comparison to what my sister is going through.
So all I can do is put my big girl pants on, try and get a good night’s sleep tonight and eat well and hydrate tomorrow so I can be as strong as possible. I will not get on the scales until I feel mentally stronger. I don’t want to know what damage I’ve done!
Thanks for reading if you made it this far. Lots of love to you all. Tomorrow is a new day xx6 -
