    Good morning JFT Peeps!!! Well, since I know I only did about 50% of my list yesterday, I'm going to write a new one today and not even update yesterday's. I get discouraged by the number of frowns I have to add. :smile:

    Today I see the surgeon for preop appointment and will find out what exactly I'm having done next week. I am happy to be getting my hip fixed, but I'm bummed out also because I know how sedentary I will be and feel like it is the end of my summer. :( But you need an ending to get a new beginning, right? One chapter ends, another begins. I can't wait to be able to walk without limping and being in pain! I'm hoping I don't have to miss Art Street though. I look forward to it every single year. Not sure when it's being held, so I will have to look it up.

    Hope you are all having a great day! I wasn't able to get caught up last night. I was exhausted. I really need a day off to just rest when coming home from a trip.

    Just for Wednesday, 8/15
    • Journal every single bite.
    • HYDRATE
    • 15 minutes outside
    • Listen to podcasts / read success stories / meal plan / grocery list
    • Half Size Me - catch up on emails and join if not too late
    • 1 lb freggies
    • Work tasks - complete 3
    • Preop appointment with surgeon today
    • Follow up on Short Term Disability paperwork for upcoming surgery
    • Unplug one hour before bed / Gratitude journal / inspirational reading / read chapter of mystery
    • Get up without hitting SNOOZE tomorrow

    Have a beautiful brand new day!
    xoxo

    Hopefully you still get to the Art Street, surgeries are scary and recovery usually sucks, but you feel so much better in the long run! I agree with needing another day off from a trip. When I travel to NB I always make sure I have a couple days at home to get rested before going back to work, the time difference alone makes me exhausted. Good luck today!

    JFT
    CLEAR CLUTTER
    DO LAUNDRY
    READ FOR HOUR
    DRINK 46 oz.
    Get in some quiet time on purpose.
    Do at least 1 thing that I like ..just for me
    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
    Notes: I have to do what's best for me and my body
    No more coffee, drink hot tea instead.
    No more commercialized snacking ( Goodbye chips) Parting is not bitter..it's BETTER!
    EAT HEALTHIER. NO MORE gravy, back off "soul food".
    And learn that "NO" is ok.

    @Snowflake1968 That is a really crappy position your VP put you in! It's very deceptive! I would have a very difficult time with the situation too. But just remember it isn't your fault. You are doing what you were hired to do, plus some! When do you plan to make your switch to the new company your friend is starting up?

    Thanks, I had a bad vibe about this position when I accepted it. I took it because I had been out of work for going on 4 months and I needed money. I won't regret it and I'm grateful to have had it, but I would gladly give my notice today if I could. I feel that physical security guards (which is this business) are all being replaced with cameras and technology. Unless there is a huge loss it is just cheaper for businesses. I really should have ran the other direction when the thing the owner and VP were most worried about when I started was that I didn't kill a cactus here in the office. LOL

    She is hoping to have the funding in place to hire me on as a salary position no later than October 1st. She was hoping for September 1st, but it doesn't look like that will be a go. I have signed the Shareholder agreement though already! She has received her incorporation, and has been doing some networking and meeting with banks. I have a lot more faith in her and this brand new business than I do in what I'm doing now.

    @cschmitz110515 I totally forgot about the power muffins! Isn't that a mix someone had posted on here a while back? Can you remind me how to make those or what mix to get? I can't believe all the walking you do in this hot humid weather! You go girl!

    Thanks, but I am getting sick of getting up early even on weekends to beat the heat & humidity! From @MLHC1 Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix ~ hubby and I love the Dark Chocolate. Recipe for power muffins is on the box, and so easy to make. I have purchased mix at Target and Woodman's, not sure about other stores.

    😐 Just tried to feed Casey porridge and she screamed the house down! Never had a baby reject food before. I'm wondering if she was already too hungry. I'll try again later with that!

    Still tired! Feel like I'm in a forever state of tiredness lol!

    Goals for Wednesday
    - 8 glasses of water
    - Be in the green
    - Exercise
    - Go to the library with the girls.

    Was this her first food?

    No she's been having shop bought purees and meals and stuff, but it can be costly so I've done some things myself like mashed banana, mashed avocado etc. But I remembered with my girls I gave them porridge (well Ready Brek) so it's really really smooth but she was having non of it.

    I'm trying to post in the mornings so I can accurately record my august challenge.... but morning are harder for me to find the time. So I may still post my goals in the evenings, and just update the challenge in the mornings. But wow .... I had to go back 5 pages just to find my post!!

    I am doing better, but realize I have to stay off the scale. I have to keep reminding myself that these are only numbers.

    JFT, Tues
    1. log all food :) Only had ONE piece of pizza at Pizza hut, and had the salad bar first! Thanks for the reminder @Bex to look up calories before eating!!
    2. work some more in the yard :/ Too much work-stuff to do.
    3. shipping, so have to help hubby :)
    4. go to the gym :)

    August Challenge: Plan just ONE evening snack, then close the kitchen

    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 >:):/:/
    7. ... emotional eating >:):/:/

    It's funny how you can't do the same with each child isn't it? Just shows their have their own little personalities, likes and dislikes at a very young age!

    Haha I know, I've been extremely blessed that I get them to sleep through the night at an early age! And so far not-so-fussy eaters. I just hope I can win Casey round lol!

    What a great thread folks! Your idea of accountability and support is really motivating. I am familiar with the JFT/ODAAT sayings from a different group and I had thought about applying some of these principles here too. I’ll be back tomorrow to get started properly!
    I am just at the beginning of my weight loss journey. (Presently I am 11st and aiming for 8 1/2 st. I am 33 years old and 5’3”). See you tomorrow 😊
