Well I made the table fee back yesterday but I’m still hoping today is much better. I needed a 600 weekend to make Christmas less stressful. I found out about a show on Friday in a small town about an hour away. I’m waiting for them to send me the vendor pack today to register. I won’t be making anymore stock just taking what I have left.
@clicketykeys sorry you had a disappointing response.
@Faebert sounds like a good time was had by all.

I have good news and bad news!
The good news is that Marley has stopped being sick and hasn't been sick for the past 48 hours.
The bad news is that Casey has been sick twice (every night at bedtime) for the past 48 hours.
If I never ever ever had to clean sick again it would still be too soon.2 -
@Faebert I'm so sorry you and the bf had a fight. The DH have been arguing a lot recently too. It's never fun.
@Bex953172 That's great about Marley and terrible about Casey! I fear the days that I will have to clean up vomit. Lol0 -

Haha I don't mind the odd sick.
But when it's been everyday (sometimes. Multiple times in a day) then the smell really starts to get to you.
I reached the end of my tether the second to last time marley was sick. She woke up crying, I ran up asking if she felt sick, she said no no sick no sick, so I thought she must of had a nightmare. For her to projectile on me. And then she lay right back down and went to sleep and I was just sat there like oh my god.2 -

JFT, 12-16-18
1. Log all my food good or bad ✔️ Including the several pieces of candy that I had
2. Do laundry!!! ✔️ I have one left but it's mainly towels and sweatshirts
3. Fold laundry ✔️ This takes a surprisingly long time because I do 3 loads at a time and fold the clothes a certain way plus 1/3 of it had to get hung up
4. Food in crockpot!(going to do this now!)❌ The chicken I was going to use had gone bad... My fault
5. Actually eat dinner!✔️ We had a throw back meal to when we were really poor. A pasta-roni type thing but I beefed it up with 2-1lb chicken breasts. Lol. I actually got full before my plate was empty. The DH happily finished it for me. Lol. It was still tasty though.
6. Do the dishes🔳In progess. A pot, a pan and a coffee cup
7. Food shopping if I feel up to it✔️
8. Bed early(I've had too many late nights recently) ✔️ Soon. I'm exhausted
I'm going to do this now so that if I don't get up when I want to tomorrow morning I can still say I posted them. I may not remember them, but at least they are up here.
1. Up by 6
2. Yoga! Even if it's a short one! Just do it!
3. Remember to bring lunch, oatmeal, headphones and coffee cup to work
4. Work 815-515
5. Gym after work (this might be too lofty a goal)
6. Pork chops for dinner
7. Dishes right after!
8. Clean out fridge!

Not super surprised about this one, as I've been eating like a pig all week! I had three Christmas parties, and on the days following the parties I overate due to tiredness/ hangover. So really, not surprising.
I will be better this week. There are some potential overeating occasions, but fewer than last week. I have to have a strategy at each to stay in control... To not go overbooked on that occasion, but also not to end up feeling rubbish the next day!1 -
Last week at work before Christmas....I tell you what, I really need a break!
These last few weeks at work have been really tiring, I feel completely drained. And not only have I had normal work stress, I've also had interview prep/stress on top of it. So it's been pretty relentless!
And it isn't going to let up this week because I have been asked back for a second interview
They seem to want to wrap everything up by Christmas, which is a bit quick - everything seems to be moving rather quickly without much time to reflect on whether I really want it. Or rather, whether I want it ENOUGH to justify the pay cut that will come with it.
This week most of the preparation I do will be about researching the work/role to figure out (as far as is possible) if it would be a good move for me.
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Be in the green
- 3+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness after each meal
- Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
- Give myself credit!
- Finish work at 6pm latest
- Read Beck Diet Solution
- Prep for second interview
- Gratitude journal
- Lights out by 11
Current calorie balance: 0

JFT Monday
1. Log all food
2. Avoid candy in the breakroom
3. Drink 150oz water
4. Wish all coworkers happy holidays, even those I am angry with.
5. Do short workout when I get home.1 -
Ahh man I'm getting lazy with this again!
Goals for Mon:
- 8 glasses of water
- Be in the green
- Exercise (maybe)
- Take meds ✔️
Dont think there's anything else I need to do today..
Yesterday we tried pigeon for dinner.
It was rank. Lol I'm not even sure the dog was sure about it!
Thats probably the last time we be adventurous LOL1 -
So I tried stevia for the first time thanks to the recommendation from @TimeToReduceFat It's not bad. It has a bit of an aftertaste but I bet any new kind of sweetener would. Just because it's not what I'm used to. I think I will try to gradually add it to my coffee. Kind of like a little sugar and a little stevia and then switch the proportions so that I finally cut out the sugar completely. We will see how it works I suppose. Lol
So it's Monday...yay. Lol. I got up at 6:30 instead of 6 but it is definitely better than the 7:30 that I have been doing lately. Ran out of coffee pods last night and totally forgot about it this morning so I had to run around the corner and pick some up at a convenience store. Finally tried the stevia with this cup and I picked up my husband's energy drinks. I don't think I am going to do any yoga this morning but I am going to go to the gym after work. Even if it's just for a half an hour. I need to do something. I need to get off my butt and move! I won't be able to take any walks on my break until after the new year because...I won't get a break until then. LM is off today and tomorrow and then MG is off from Wednesday until after the new year. So it's no breaks and open to close every day...Woohoo. We are not going to let this happen next year. Lol. I think we had 4 days this month where all three of us were actually in the branch together.
I did all the laundry that was hanging out on the bedroom floor yesterday so now I actually have space in the bedroom to workout or do yoga without disturbing the DH, in the evenings. I think I might do that today too. I don't think I specified on my goals WHEN I had to do my yoga. Lol.
Okay. I should probably go get ready for work. Lol.1 -

Thank you so much! Your comment helped me do it despite the little voice in my head saying otherwise! Wooohooo!!
I'm glad my words were of encouragement
That's what it's all about.
Your wedding dress is just beautiful! I’m so glad that decision is made. I had a small wedding (35 years ago yesterday ) and remember the many details and much thought that goes into everything! May the force be with you my Dear and may your special day turn into may special years, especially when the going gets rough.

“Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” Francis of Assisi0 -
I had a more or less weekend. I couldn’t travel to my Mom’s b/c I was still under the weather so I stayed home and did a fair amount of house work including the unpacking of 3 of the many boxes that we still have cluttering one of our rooms from the move .
As a rule, I don’t exercise during the weekend to give myself a break from the week's routine. Granted, I wasn’t feeling well but I realized that I don’t get too many additional exercise calories back and it’s harder for me to weather the weekends. Sooo, I have decided that come next weekend, what I’ll do is change the workout but still commit to exercising on the weekend so that I can eat back my calories and enjoy the weekend with my husband. I’ve got other exercise videos that I can do so that I can leave Jessica Smith workouts for the week and do something different on Saturday and Sunday. Change is good. I overate only a little bit on Saturday; yesterday was OK b/c I had dental work done on Thursday and my tooth was sensitive so that kept my eating at bay.
I have to say I’m very proud of myself for resisting the Almond Roccas that I bought to give out as presents! I’ve been using the Beck mental techniques and they really work. What works best for me is Imagining the Aftermath of giving in and reading my Advantages to Losing Weight card (I actually have this on my phone for easy access). I’m totally dissuaded by the image of savoring that first bite but going overboard, eating the whole packet and then feeling miserable both physically and emotionally. Works like a charm! OK, maybe having a sore mouth helped a little but I do think my resistance muscle is getting a tad stronger and I’ll take that any day.
I weighed in and according to the scale I gained .2 lbs but I measured myself and actually lost a little bit here and there so that was reassuring. I just read this morning in the Beck book that I can’t expect to lose weight every week and some of your posts indicate the same so I’m OK with that. I’ll just stay on track on trust that eventually the weight will come off. For the first time in all the diets I’ve been on, I’m in no rush and want to focus on JFT. Thank y’all for keeping me on track. The best collective diet coach ever! . Soooo,
JFT Monday, 12/17/18
Read my Advantages to Losing Weight card before each meal

@Bex953172 - I hope all the sickness leaves your house soon and you have time to get rested before Christmas excitement takes over.
@HEGoddard0928 - unfortunately yesterday was worse than Saturday, but I made mostly what I spent on Christmas gifts at the show. I am really hoping now that this Friday’s will be incredible!
@slittlemeister - a second interview is promising. Remember as important as the financial portion is, job fulfillment and life balance is just as important.
@cschmidt - I think it was you that told me how important rest days are, glad to see you take one.
I know there was more I wanted to say to people and now can’t remember. I am not enjoying catching up on my phone vs a computer.

@AJB1014 Lovely dress! You look so happy in the pics too.
@clicketykeys Sorry for the news about the conference. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you had volunteer ushered on top of everything else you do. That sounds like fun.
@Faebert Sounds like it was a fun party! Sorry about the row w/ bf. Give yourself a break, you've been packing so much into each day ~ maybe a rest day is called for.
@Snowflake1964 Sorry for the slow sales day ~ hope things picked up for you.
@slittlemeister Congrats on the second interview! Best wishes ~ may it be what you are looking for.
To all JFTers: Hope you have a good day!0 -

I just got up at 930! I don’t know how that happened! Today I have to make my ladders or at least get the rungs painted. I have to cut out the felt for a stocking for my son in law and start working on that. My daughter has ran out of hours to get it done.
I bought a dolls cradle for Michaela at the craft fair yesterday, so Lauryn is bringing me her sewing machine so I can make bedding for it. This cradle is made by prisoners in the local prison and then sold by the Christmas Bureau. That had a table full of gorgeous toys all reasonably priced and 100% of the money goes to help those that need it in the community. This year the Christmas Bureau is helping 62000 families in the Edmonton area. That says a lot about our economy.
At 4 I have to go meet a friend to deliver something I picked up for her and get my money back. Sometime in there I need to clean the craft room so I can set up the drying rack and do a load of laundry!
Woohoo only one week to go and then I will have time and energy to get back to exercising!

I haven't dropped off face of the earth. Still dealing with after effects of concussion. Getting migraines every day at work, having difficulty seeing my computer screen and just plain getting through the day right now. Seeing a doctor at the Concussion Clinic on Thursday so hopefully they'll be able to help me manage this better.
I'll be back on posting goals as soon as I am dealing better with the headaches. I think of you all daily and hope everyone is doing well. (((BIG HUGS))) :flowerforyou:2 -
@cschmitz110515 - Ehhhhhhhh ushering isn't THAT big a deal. Takes up most of the evening, but it's nice, because it's not an ongoing commitment! Plus, I get to see the play without paying $20-30 for a ticket.2
