I took the Grands to some yard sales yesterday its one of our favourite hobbies. Jonah only bought one thing, a science weather experiment set. Michaela bought a My Little Pony, Barbies w/clothes, a purse, a headband and a necklace. She only spent the same amount as him. I bought her 11 items of clothing though. All brand name stuff, which we never get, for 7.00! She grows so fast that Lauryn and Ryan have a hard time keeping her in clothes. These were all Fall and Winter clothes so that will help them out.
When we came home Lauryn came home from work with an upset stomach and Jonah was complaining too. I hope I don't get their bug.
I need to start taking this weight loss seriously again. I do OK, lose a couple pounds and then relax for 2-3 weeks. need to stay on task more consistently. This is going to get harder for me soon because I'm not so sure how to eat healthier in the Winter. I have to really put some thought into this.
I'm off to go see Jasmyne, she had an overwhelming day on Friday and is changing some plans. I'm not sure what this means for me.
What a fun tradition going to yard sales! Some of my favorite memories with my meme are doing exactly that!
All comfort food all the time in the winter for me! I need to start thinking about this too, since it's typically where I struggle and quit. I've been doing a little practice, of making my usual meals but eating just the one portion size. A real eye opener when a recipe I make that usually lasts us one meal, lasted us for 3 this weekend! But I know I'm never NOT going to want my stews, and casseroles, and roasts in the winter so I better figure it out!

Got up and had breakfast, played on the computer this morning - and now it is time to think about lunch! I have been feeling tired and need to call the Drs. office to see if they will test my D level again. I did get out in the sun a bit yesterday, but I don't know if it was enough.
Today's goal is to drink water, workout out for at least 30 minutes and pick up the house for the cleaning ladies.4 -

Where do you live? I talked to my doctor about Vitamin D levels last week and here in Alberta Canada she told me to take 3000 units a day year round. She said that even if I could get out for 8 hours a day every day during the summer it wouldn't be enough to get it built up. She told me that they won't test for it here anymore as the 10 years that they routinely did test for it, showed the same results.2 -

I have been tracking the "if every day were like today you would weigh... in 5 weeks". I started this back in April just to see if there was any truth to it at all and I have concluded that there really isn't. However, it does keep me motivated to at least make sure when I do complete my diary each day it is less than what I currently have as my weight in MFP.
A few weeks ago I decided to add another element to my wonderful excel sheet and I started averaging my weight over 7 days. I have felt like I have stalled completely the last couple of months and have done nothing to head in the right direction. Today when I went to update my averages and numbers I realized, I actually have done something towards loss this summer. Not near as much as I had hoped but I have actually lost.
6-Jun 188.9
13-Jun 187.5
20-Jun 188.1
27-Jun 187.4
4-Jul 187.6
11-Jul 186.7
18-Jul 186
25-Jul 184.7
1-Aug 184.3
8-Aug 184.4
15-Aug 183.7
22-Aug 183.1
I am hoping that my determination and motivation are better in the coming months than they have been the last couple of months. I know to be successful I really have to start thinking more about my portions. I am such a fussy eater and I have my husband to consider so actually completely changing my actual foods would probably be a failure. I am going to start eating my meals on smaller plates and see how I do with that. I am also once my package of Laughing Cow is gone figure out another evening snack. I think those two things plus being more dedicated to exercising will help me achieve my goals easier.

So my DH is putting his 2 weeks in at work today. It's a huge relief that he will soon be out of there. It's been ten years but he doesnt owe them any loyalty any more.
Yesterday was odd. The new girl, M, started yesterday. She is great and really knowledgeable which is awesome, but I was so out of sorts because my routine is changing that I was a nervous wreck. I was talking really loudly and it was like my brain wasn't connected to my mouth or the rest of my body. It was the weirdest thing. I think it might have been because my day started out poorly. I didnt end up getting out of bed until 20 minutes before I had to leave. Today is much better. I got up at 6 to turn off the blaring alarm and went right into the shower. I looked longingly at my bed for a second or two but I know that if I lay back down it will be bad all over again. Although I'm sitting on the couch now and can feel my eyes drooping, at least now I am up and out of bed. Lol. I had to run to Wawa to get coffee because I forgot that I ran out. I woke up this morning and said a few choice words when I remembered that I brought my last 2 pods to work. Lol.
So now it's 6:58. I have about 30 minutes to kill before I have to get ready. Lol. Not sure what I will do. Probably read or make something to eat. Oh! And I'll make goals for the day! Lol.
JFT, 8-28-18(I just realized, my 30th birthday is a month away!)

Hubby is working evenings tonight so I will have a lot of time to myself. I like this as I only have to worry about my supper. I am meeting my KFC friend for lunch today so I can have a very light supper.
The scale moved this morning to a lower number than what I had logged in MFP. My last update was on Aug 14 so that's 14 days for a little over 1/2 a pound. That's not very good!
