We have a IT guy here in my branch who is about to take it system down for a few minutes so I will be even more bored. I'm just hoping that no customers come in... That would be really annoying. Lol.
I've got 2 more doses of my antibiotics left and then I'll be done with that. That will make me happy. I'm having a hard time remembering to take them because I have to take them at a different time then my other ones. 😫
The DH is off from work today and I think he fell asleep on the couch. 😑 I wish he was awake to talk to.
I'm having fun with smiley faces as you can see! LolHEGoddard0928 wrote: »Today has been a weird day. Busy then slow then busy again! Now I'm twiddling my thumbs again waiting desperately for 5pm! 😴 I've had four cups of coffee and I think I'm about to make a fifth.

✋❤💕 Good afternoon!!! I am here!!! Mary, bored out of my gourd..😀
I have plenty to do, but I'm being a bit of a bum today. However, I'm not going to stay this way... I'm just, well, I'm just a bit out of sort today personally.. HOWEVER, that has no bearing on being here for you and anyone else that wants a listening ear, or a cheerleader😀1 -
JFT Monday Recap
1. Log all food
2. Be kind
Oiiioiiioiii. Had a horrible attitude, felt possessed almost -turned into an anxiety attack (which I have not had about a decade)
3. Lots of water
4. Eat when hungry - stop when full
5. Send back old phone
6. Pick up mosquito magnet at 5
7. Drop off donate bag at lunch
8. Empty out dressers, toss/donate/keep (Remember, just because you throw away the object does not mean you throw away the memory!)
And bathroom and closet! Proud of this one - donated another 2 boxes of stuff that I let go as a little therapy last night.
Yesterday afternoon was BAD. We left work and I had an attitude about everything. DH asked if I was okay and I nearly ripped his head off. I felt my quiet little voice deep down inside me saying, "relax - he loves you, he's just concerned, not fault blaming" but louder than my voice was some mean awful nasty thought that everything was awful and he hated me and a ton of other awful noise that I could not shut up. I got to the point where I could not catch my breath and had a complete fit and melt down. I took some kava tincture when I got home and it helped a ton - but holy moly! I forgot how powerless you feel in that situation. Shout out to anyone struggling - you are super heroes. I'm in a better head space than I have been in so long, but stress physically manifests so quickly for me and that was a swift reminder. Back to happy thoughts, sunshine, and good vibes today.

She finally checked in a little over 24 hours from the last contact. She was in a no service area. I told her that we need to come up with something a bit better next time so I don't panic 0 -
@Bex953172 - I loved the teenage years. It was the 9 -12 years I could have done without. They already thought they were teenagers and should be treated as such. Snotty, bratty, I didn't like that age at all. I would relive the teen years over and over again.

@ABJ1014.. You're not the only one to have those moments, but hugs for you recognizing the emotions and coming back to self. Some get in that mode and it lasts for days... It's a thief.. It robs you of energy, time, and power... Kudos on the donations and the positivity!!! Love it! You managed to turn a frown around..☺😀😁😍1 -
Hi all. Back from holidays and actually weirdly happy to be back to routine! Weighed in this morning and have actually dropped a couple of pounds while away. I guess all that lovely Mediterranean fruit and veg and seafood along with a lot of activity counteracted the ice-cream, frozen yoghurt and lying in the sun!
I’m pleased that I was able to do this without any food scales and just loose guesstimate tracking. But I kind of wish I’d let myself have more ice-cream/desserts in retrospect!
Anyway, back to the programme...
Tuesday goals
- morning workout (today was going to be a rest day but I’m up early so will give it a go..)
- Pick up kitten from cat-sitter
- Walk with kids to grab lunch and pick up some groceries
- Laundry
- April to August challenges - water, go for walk outside, avoid emotional or post holiday tiredness binging, last snack (protein shake) by 9:30
- Early night
Have a great day all! X
Welcome back it sounds like a remarkable vacation.0 -

Out of bed by 7:30 am - Nope, I was an hour late
Complete task list--I did not complete everything but did some difficult work I didn't want to do.
Only play phone /computer games if finish tasks--not quite, but I didn't go as overboard as I have in the past.
No more than four 15 min checks on social media--a little over, but I did it in between work.
At least 15 min workout or walk--YES!
Only eat it hungry - YES!
I had my toddler home with me because he was sick. He'll be home with me again tomorrow.
Jft 8/7
1. Out of bed by 8:30 (trying to be more realistic this time)
2.Continue task list. Get to items I couldn't do and continue the longterm work.
3. Don't over do time on social media
4. Don't over do it with addictive games
5. Only eat if hungry
6. 15 min exercise
Games and Social Media can sure suck the time away can't it? I have downloaded two different games in my life to play and ended up deleting them both after a couple of weeks because I found they were just taking hours away from me. I keep up with FB and MFP for social media more than anything but I am trying to limit time on it and spend time with my hubby whenever possible.1 -

1. log all food
2. go to the gym
3. concentrate on water
4. plan food ... eat lightly since going out to eat in the evening
NOTE: This was Saturday -- which I did great on. But. ... got in late saturday nite, and didn't post sunday goals. Had more incidents with my daughter, and gave in again. It got too late to post last nite, and I didn't post Monday goals. As a result ..... TWO really bad, emotional eating days again
But.... I will be back on track tomorrow .... yes I will!
SO JFT, TUesday
1. log ALL food
2. concentrate on water
3. go to the gym
4. no emotional eating .... eat only what I have planned
5. August challenge ... ONE snack, and then close the kitchen!!!
Starting weight Aug 1: 197.2.
Goal weight for Sept 1: 190 (I know this is agressive, but I gained 3 lbs the past 2 days, so I am really hoping those pounds will come off quickly, and the rest ... well... I'm going work my butt of to keep the challenges I set.
August Challenge: Plan just ONE evening snack, then close the kitchen
1: Evening snack was a hard boiled egg, kitchen closed at 9pm
2: Planned on a HB egg, but had 1/4c. raisin bran and some milk. It is now 9:15 pm - so a little later, but only because I wanted to color my hair first!
3: Was out late, and had a glass of wine at 10:00 -- hubby wanted popcorn, so I had a very small amount, but still ,that was at 10:30!!!
But ....... I still did not eat too much, just that the klondike bar was way more calories than I thought. Lesson ... look up calories FIRST!
4 .. no evening snack, and did great all day
5... Worrying about my daughter; emotional eating:)
6 ... emotional eating
So sorry to hear you had a rough time with your daughter again.0 -
HEGoddard0928 wrote: »So last night I set my alarm for 6 am. It went off as planned. I got up and changed it to 7. I then realized that if I didnt feed Panda he would spend the next hour bugging me for food. I fed him, and the coffee pot is right in the same location as his food bowl so I made the decision to make a cup of coffee and not go back to bed! This is a huge win for me! Today could have easily turned into a multiple snooze kind of day. I just sat on the couch and snoozed for a few minutes. I think I am going to need to set an alarm just in case! Lol.
Okay, so onto goals!

JFT - Monday August 6
2L of water -
Calories in Green by 150 - Only had 94 left
Clean - Not fully, I swept and cleaned the kitchen, but didn't dust or deep clean. Won't be this week either, it's supposed to be up to 36 by tomorrow hee.
Groceries - I got some staples, still need to buy some meat, but I tried out a new place for meat to take on our trip and it was so delicious that I have decided that is the only place I will buy meat now.
Possibly a walk - I just enjoyed my day
Tomorrow will end my vacation - Well it ended, but a little later than it was supposed to as I slept in this morning.
Didn't have an evening snack last night at all.
JFT - Tuesday August 7
2L of Water

Laundry - Maybe, it will depend on temp.
Walk - also depending on temp.
My friend had snapped a picture of me on Sunday during our hike through the Ancient Forest. I think she needs to be my dedicated photographer, she makes me look great!
I sold a contract today, it is a short term one until an alarm system gets installed, but it's still a contract!

@Snowflake1968 You look GORGEOUS!!! And yay for the contract! That's so awesome.0

What do you guys have for evening snacks?
I've made dinner again and I'm still hungry after, like immediately after..
Tonight we had beef bourginion(sp?) and salad.
Where am I going wrong because I'm so hungry.!?0 -
Gorgeous pic @Snowflake1968 you are glowing!
@Bex953172 my go-to late night treat is a super thick (almost ice cream texture) shake made with one scoop of chocolate cookie flavour whey protein shake (I use PhD nutrition) blended with 90g frozen summer fruits, a whole tray of ice cubes, some water and a hefty measure of calorie free sweetener (Truvia). It is huge (about 650/700ml) around 140 cals and 20 odd grams of protein. It is so tasty and super filling. Had my first one after two weeks away from it on holiday and it was so good!
Highly recommend although if you prefer something to bite/crunch or something savoury on I appreciate it won’t hit the mark! X2 -

My evening snack is usually 2 Laughing Cow Wedges, Low Fat Wheat Thins (1 Serving) and red seedless grapes about 1/2 a cup sometimes more. It totals around 220 calories, but I make room for it in my calorie intake 95% of the time.2 -

Feel better soon @jeschepp ! Summer colds are very annoying.
I didn’t manage to post a wrap up last night as I was busy tucking into a few treats brought back from holiday. So a bit of a fail there but I actually did have calories to spare. I was also in a bit of a funk as I did something to my neck and it was super sore - not sure why I thought chocolate would help though.
BUT I batch cooked loads and loads of yummy veggie dishes for freezing yesterday. Lots of healthy dinners and sides now done so can pre-log today properly.
