@PackerFanInGB - Clothes shopping with your granddaughter sounds like fun. I was so very blessed to grow up beside my grandmother. My favourite memories are spending time with her. Your Grandchildren will carry these memories for life. When I was 13 I convinced my grandmother at age 68 to get her ears pierced. She wore earrings for close to 20 years until she had to start wearing hearing aids and didn't want to draw attention to her ears. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
I'm in the same boat with clothes, I am battling keeping my pants up and they are looking pretty saggy in the bottom, but I'm not quite down a full size in the waist yet. I hate looking frumpy.
@maryrobinson40 - I laughed at your retraction, that is a positive attitude and a great way to break down that wall.
@jeschepp - I do a lot of indoor exercises. I do Zumba you tube videos, yoga/pilates you tube videos. My favourite though is the Leslie Sansone indoor walks. I put my tablet in front of the tv while watching one of my shows and walk away!
@Faebert - I bet that workout felt amazing! Sorry you are having struggles with the boyfriend. I have that rebellious attitude too sometimes. It's aggravating, because I know I'll regret it and I'm not hurting anyone but myself. What are "me-maps"?
@AJB1014 - I was wondering where you were yesterday, I didn't see you anywhere. Glad to see you back
@HEGoddard0928 - You seem to be having a better week so far, I'm happy to see it
I talked to hubby last night about the craft fairs and asked him if he was going to do anything for them or not. He told me that he was but hadn't thought about the length of time I needed to work on them after he was finished his part. I said well I don't think you really wanted to do anything this year so I'm not signing up for anymore shows. He then asked me why with an incredulous tone. He said this helped us a lot last winter to earn money so I think we should. I said well there are enough that I could sign up for every weekend if you want, but we need to get at the work of it. That's a relief to me, it paid for our Christmas last year and I was struggling trying to figure out how to come up with that lost income. I will look today for some more shows to sign up for.
He is the artist really, most of the designs are in his head and I can't woodburn LOL

How do you find this @Snowflake1968 ? I have the most trouble finding my posts, even just finding my post from a day away! Takes forever to search back. Any ideas of how to find this?1 -
If you are on a computer, I haven't figure it out on a phone or tablet. You can hit search at the top of the message board, right above the groups name. You can either put in the username of the person you are looking for or if you click the little arrow it gives you more search options.
To find Bex's and HEGoddard's though I just clicked back to last week when I remembered they had done it. I knew they did it shortly after the time you had originally posted the challenge.
I wouldn't be able to do that on my phone or tablet easily either.1 -

My energy level is shot. I accomplished nothing today except
Eating fruit, and a chicken salad made with grapes, celery, chopped pecans, chopped onions, chopped bell pepper, sweet salad cubed pickles, and some type mayo. Green Tea to drink.
My mind wanted to do, but my body felt like I was steam rolled.
I prefer natural solutions for health, so I will be doing some reading. I've been moving, but not at the rate that I had been. Guess this is what they mean by "hitting a wall". Any way... Hope to get some energy back soon, in the meantime, I will be moving this body , I refuse to go backwards..Just can't go as hard as I have been, until I get more weight off my knee.. Some of the swelling is down from my knee...been doing the modified bicycle while lying on my back, and quad and abs also.
Thanks for listening💖

Morning all. Crazy day at work yesterday. One of those days where there seem to randomly be lots of playground accidents, injuries and disagreements. Lots of wiping little one’s tears and refereeing disputes! And my teaching assistant ended up taking one child to hospital for stitches on a split chin when we couldn’t get hold of the parents so I was on my own for most of the day. Not the best preparation for our big class assembly performance today!
Still, I managed to get all the prep done and the hall looks great and I think the kids are as ready as they can be. @snowflake1968 the me-maps are these cool life-size cardboard outlines of the kids that they created and used collage to stick on clothes, wool ‘hair’, draw on features and then add notes all about themselves- likes/dislikes, what makes them special etc. One of the parents came up with the idea and we did a workshop to make them. They look super cute.
So just to get this event out of the way and hopefully a stress free end of the week with a week off for half term next week. Phew!

I'm proud of myself. I stayed busy doing something all day and ended the evening by watching The Hallmark Channel with my sister. She's a 20yr. Cancer Free Survivor single mastectomy... She's, well all my Siblings are older than me. Anyway, She's been healthy as a horse excluding that. She works hard, and is always looking out for others. She's been feeling run down, and complaining about her head hurting and that's not like her. So in my own way I've been keeping an eye on her.
I didn't allow my don'ts to get me down.. I'm just happy about the difference that I can see in myself, in comparison to when I first joined this lively bunch... LMBO😁💖💖💖
I'm enjoying this journey. I'm making progress in movement, and I haven't gotten weighed for a while now since my scale stopped working. The numbers will come, I'm thankful to be able to stand longer than three minutes, I'm thankful to be able to touch my ankles, walk farther than the front door without needing to sit down. Those things are grand moments for me. Being able to move is my prize! My trophy! My joy and awareness that I am doing something to allow myself a quality life... Praise The Lord, I can put on my socks without help... Hot Diggety Dang!!! Thanks Sisters! I can't thank you all enough.
Motivation on here is GENUINE! STRONG! AND LASTING.
((( HUGS)))
BTW I have an appointment tomorrow... I'll give a report tomorrow night.
Good Night Ladies!

Realized again that last nite I didn't post any goals!! My days are so crazy busy ... if I don't take the time in the evenings, its hard for me to get on here.
But ... got into halloween candy tonite!! @maryrobinson40 --- you are going to get me back motivated! Reading your success is contagious!
The good thing ... I worked hard today, so the few pieces of halloween candy are just that ... a few pieces. And tomorrow will be a new day.
We are very busy workwise ..... and I got a ton of stuff done today. Tonite, I am working on finishing a lap size quilt for my cousin, who has stage 3 cancer. I am hoping it will cheer her up, knowing that as I sew, I am thinking of her and praying for a remission. I also made her 5 chemo hats ... so I am working to get all this finished by this weekend so I can get it in the mail.
The drinking water before any soda has been helping me also! Maybe I finally found a way to get that water in!
So goals tomorrow are simple again:
1. log my food
2. concentrate on water - 1 soda, then no more soda until I drink 8+ cups water
3. October challenge!!! I've been bad at getting this done. I do go to the gym in the morning, and want to get back to walking in the evening. I am finding that I need to do this right after dinner, or it just doesn't happen. so tomorrow.... go out for that walk!!
4. work on quilt
5. work on scarves to go with chemo hats
6. work on PC boards - hubby is selling stuff too fast, so hard to keep up with him

Are you a teacher?? My, you have the patience and my admiration! Having our grandsons here this weekend ... just hearing the fighting in the car ride ... everyone getting hurt at a trampoline place .. I can't imagine what you must go through with a bunch of little ones! You teachers deserve so much admiration for what you do!!1 -
@mytime6630 - yep! Teach Year 1 which is children aged 5-6. Exhausting at times but lots of fun too and ultimately very rewarding.
I do sometimes worry I use up my patience quota at work and have none left for my own kids at the end of the day though! 3 -
Yesterday wasn't great! Left work late, slipped from food plan, and went 600 over. Oops.
Today is a new day. I can pull this back across the rest of the week, though this will involve lots of control and potentially more exercise than i was planning!
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Eat slowly and mindfully
- Be in the green
- 3+ bottles water
- 30+ minute lunch break
- Meditate
- Do some French homework
- Finish work at 6pm
- Quality time with boyfriend
- Gratitude journal
- Lights out by 11

Had another sicky baby last night, this time it was Casey.
It was hard watching her be sick in that way, I'm used to her bringing up milk and stuff but not being actually poorly sick.
So I slept on the sofa with her last night, so she was kinda sleeping more upright rather than lying down.
I'm wondering if it's viral or just bad luck that they've both eaten something dodgy.
They're both okay now but just hoping it wasn't something I fed Casey that I hadn't heated properly or something.
So my only goal today is to disinfect the house, especially the girls room.3 -

STAY FOCUSED - I MEAN IT - DO IT!
I decided to make hamburgers last night for supper as I had some buns that needed to be used up. I usually by he pre-made lean burgers and can fit them into my calories very easily. Two grocery stores I stopped at last night were sold out so I ended up buying the meat and making my own. I bought too much meat and instead of making the right decision to throw some in the freezer for later I made 2 burgers for myself and then ate them!
I need to start getting with the program and stepping up my game. I am hovering between 179-181/182 and have been since September 1st. I have missed all of my goal dates so far and want to feel successful.
I am having a hard time finding the time or energy to do the workouts so I need to be more mindful of my eating.
I didn't get much done yesterday for crafting and I need to step this up as well.

@jeschepp - thanks for the comment on the profile pic
@faebert - Those me-maps sound super cute. I worked as a teacher's assistance for a while at one time in a kindergarten class, one of my duties was outside recess, children sure can create a lot of havoc on a playground. Your comment about patience reminded me of my grandmother. She only ever had one child, but was a schoolteacher in the one room school days. One time I asked her why she never had more children and she told me she didn't have the patience for them. I have always thought that to be a "funny" statement with her being a teacher.
@maryrobinson40 - Yay for moving better, you are making great strides!
@mytime6630 - It's hard working and keeping up with what you want to do in your life too. What does your hubby sell?
@slittlemeister - I'm right there with you for overeating yesterday
@Bex953172 - Oh no, I hope this bug leaves your house soon!3 -
