    Oh @snowflake1968 I’m so sorry to hear that. You were obviously way too good for them and I’m glad you won’t be stuck working there any more but how typical he didn’t even bother to tell you in person!

    Onward and upward! Hope you continue to smash it with your craft projects and find a truly fulfilling and rewarding job soon.

    Hugs x

    You know that not telling me in person really does show exactly how much this branch means to them. I will continue to send out resumes and maybe sign up for a couple more craft fairs now. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and there is a bigger plan for me.

    I am so sorry to hear about this, and this is another boss that needs me to come and give them a punch in the face. I'll be busy!

    I agree with you that there is a bigger plan for you, and think this will probably turn out for the best. It's been a difficult job for you for a while and this will free you up to find something better.

    Your crafts are beautiful, by the way. Do you think it would be feasible to turn it into a business? Maybe alongside something part time at first?

    Yesterday wasn't a great day. I won't go into it, but essentially I had some training at work that bummed me out and demotivated me, and I ended up eating my feelings a little. Not terribly though - I thought about going further and buying myself chocolate but then I reminded myself that that really wouldn't make anything any better. So that's a win.

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :smile:
    - Stick to food plan :/
    - Eat slowly and mindfully :/
    - Be in the green :/ only just over though, due to exercise
    - 4 bottles water :/ lost track - probably around 2.5
    - No alcohol :smile:
    - Run to work :smile:
    - November bathroom challenge :smile:
    - 30+ minute lunch break :smile:
    - Meditate :smile:
    - Finish work at 5pm :/ 5.30
    - Gratitude journal :smile:
    - Lights out by 11 :neutral: just after

    Today I have a day off, which I really need. I need to catch up on French and I also really need to get my a&se in gear and do something on the job research/ planning front. But I also feel like I need to rest and relax a bit as I feel a bit worn out and demotivated. So self care will also be a priority :smiley:

    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - No snacks
    - Take sensible portions at dinner
    - Eat slowly and mindfully
    - 3 bottles water
    - Equal volume soft drink to wine
    - Exercise DVD

    - Meditate
    - French homework
    - Something on career stuff
    - Washing and washing up
    - Pack for weekend away
    - Pick up train tickets
    - Don't forget to go to dentist
    - Self care: pluck my eyebrows!!! (They are such a mess)
    - Self care: spend some time reading/ watching rubbish

    Current calorie balance: 70 in green (need to build up a bit more of a deficit as going to mum's this weekend and she always overfeeds me!)

    Feisty Beautiful Ladies!!! This is definitely the happening place.
    So much going on and we handle it together!!! Yesss!💪

    I've been hanging back on purpose. I had to regroup. I've been out of sorts and
    I had to pull myself together. I figured out part of what was causing me to have these
    weird feelings... It started after my doctor's visit... LMBO, I shouldn't have gone.
    I had been busting my ahhhhmmmm ok...and I didn't get a good report.
    I'm good!!! I Am Otayyyy...lol…😁💯💪💪💪
    Back to the plow... I'm gonna reap my harvest!! The whole field times 100.

    JFT
    I ate my soup for dinner and nothing else today. I won't give up. It's hard as you
    all know, but giving up is not an option. I set myself on this journey to BETTER and I am going to have better.
    I relaxed because I woke up with unbelievable knee pain. But I'm in this fight to win.

    GO LADIES GO!! YOU'RE ALL EXCEPTIONAL AND EXCELLING. …
    I SEE YOUR STRUGGLES, OUCHIES, AND HARD PLACES and you got this!!
    One more step means you're farther than you were.
    Heyyyyy!!! Hallelujah!! 👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 LET'S DO IT LADIES!!

    Happy to see you posting with your positive energy. Don't starve yourself though!

    Wed, Oct 31
    1. log all food :)
    2. DO NOT EAT HALLOWEEN CANDY!!! Get rid of all of it!! :/:/ Was not going to eat any ... ended up eating 7 pieces!! And.... I have tons leftover. It is going in the mail tomorrow for our grandsons (who ended up sick and could not go out), or to the fire station.
    3. concentrate on 8+ cups water --- red cup challenge! :) Only good thing about today -- got in my water.
    4. go to the gym :)
    5. go for a long walk after kids come for halloween. :) Only went around the block - rainy out
    6. get back on here ... be accountable :)

    I am so tired, so this will be short. We have been so busy work-wise, for both hubby and I we are working 10 hr days, especially hubby. Hopefully we will be caught up soon.
    I did great all day, then because of being tired, ate 3 pieces of halloween candy. Ok ... that was OK, and I planned to stop. Well, while putting it away, ended up eating 4 more pieces. so I am WAY over my calories!!


    We had way too much candy left too only had about 12 kids at the door and hubby convinced me to buy massive amounts of candy. I sent some home with my son in law and of course gave my own grands lots, but truthfully people were emptying their boxes and bowls into my grands bags as it was. Jonah wouldn't even carry his because it was too heavy and he skipped the last few houses and went back to Grampie. Michaela, just kept saying "next house"

    Bad day. Getting sick. Ate a half a pizza for dinner and that's about it. Did drink a ton of water though. Going to sleep and try to make it through work tomorrow. I've got a killer sore throat.

    Have a good night. Ttyat.

    Funny, my friend asked me if I thought I could make crafting full time as well. I don't think hubby would be into that with me and I need him for a lot of the crafts. I will keep looking for something else and work on this in the meantime :)

    It seems to be the day for job news. I received a call a couple of hours ago telling me that they are probably closing my branch on November 9th. He was going to come up to tell me, but was too busy to do so. I'm not surprised and not really disappointed except I will miss the car and the gas card. Last year we did it on just my hubby's EI this year I will at least have EI too so we should be fine!

    So sorry but your boss is an *kitten* for telling you on the phone. I like that @slittlemeister is going around punching bosses, seems everyone's need it (mine included). Glad that you are taking the positive approach! (((Hugs)))

    Write in Journal - :/ I was so tired last night I went to bed early and completely forgot
    Stay FOCUSED - DO IT - QUIT BEING DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF - :) I kept my health in mind all day.

    JFT - Thursday November 1
    2L of Water
    Calories in Green by 150
    5 Fruits and Veggies
    Only 1 Evening Snack
    Walk 1 Mile
    5 Littles at Bathroom Break
    Write in Journal
    Stay FOCUSED - DO IT - QUIT BEING DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF

    I had a great night with the Grands last night. Jonah was a necromancer from Diablo. (I'm still not sure what this is). Michaela was a fairy. I decided to go out walking with them rather than stay at the house and clean. Jonah scared a little girl until he spoke to her and told her he was just a little boy like her and wouldn't hurt her. Michaela very nicely said Tick 'n Teat at the door and Thank you and Happy Halween on the way from the door. It was nice getting out with them. Their Dad is so good to them, he is young at heart and still enjoys the fun of having children. It's nice to see.

    I came cleaned after we got back and they left to go see their other grandparents, so I didn't really sit down until about 20 to 9. I was exhausted so I ended up going to bed about an hour later.

    Waiting again to hear from the VP to find out the details of closing. I have to go to Calgary tomorrow to take one of the vehicles down and then they will drive me back. I am meeting the owner's wife apparently. I mentioned in our phone call yesterday afternoon about a little business we are still doing and he acted shocked that it was being done. I think it threw him off. It just tells me he hasn't read the reports I send weekly because it's on there every week. Oh well, 1 week to go! I'll go out in a professional manner.

    October was a pretty successful month compared to the last couple for meeting my goals.

    I walked 57.7 miles, this is my highest mileage since my last record which was 50.6 back in May.
    I lost an average of 1.3 lbs in the month of October.
    I lost 1 inch overall in the month of October which puts me at 17.5 inches lost since I took measurements the first time in April.

    This is all extremely slow considering my goals in MFP are to lose 2lbs a week, but it's still going in the right direction and I don't feel overworked or deprived in anyway so I don't feel like I'll stop out of frustration or exhaustion anytime soon.

    I will have to be very careful once I am done working, I know my crafting days last year when I wasn't working were very unhealthy days of chips and pop and whatever quick food I could find or make. I think I'll do a massive healthy grocery shop next week to ensure I am better prepared this time with healthy options. I just have to not buy the junk! I will also ensure I continue to log and exercise. I can do this, I won't let myself down.

    4. Stay out of the candy bowl tonight. It's for the Trick or Treaters, not me!! :(Pffft! Who was I trying to kid?
      At least I didn't mindlessly graze all night and I did log it.
    5. Remember to breathe. :) Take walks when I need to get away from my desk. :) Wear headphones to tune out the whispers I'm hearing in the cubes. :) Best attitude is gratitude. :) Be kind. :) Be helpful. :) I do not gossip or back stab and I will not start now. Period. :)
    6. Finish SU minutes, :#worked through the pieces I was struggling with but didn't completely finish yet
      / Watch upgrade webinar, complete NVTs for 2018 x3 apps :(move to today, follow up on project request from provider :)
    7. Keep an open mind. :# Do not make up stories of what I think is happening. :# Look at the facts, not the story in my head. :#struggling with this one. trying very hard. Plan to possibly address the elephant in the room at meeting today so I can let go and move on.
    8. Leave work issues at work tonight. Enjoy time with family. Keep priorities straight. :#I really tried. Hubby decided we needed to hash it out and talk about it even though I really didn't want to. He always wants to fix things for me.

    Happy Friday Eve! I did not have time to go back and get caught up last night, but I did read your comments from yesterday and today this morning and I thank you all for your insight and support! I think it might not be so much the actual job that I'm upset about the most... it's more the fact that it's just being taken away and everyone knew about it and have been discussing it as a team without my knowledge. That is hurtful and a bit humiliating actually. I plan to address the elephant in the room possibly today if the opportunity arises, just to clear the air. I don't know that I can let go of the feelings I have until I am looked in the eye by my teammates with the reasoning of why this is happening. It's the behind-my-back stuff that I do not appreciate. If I have an issue with someone, I will address it with that person generally speaking. HOWEVER, I do have to keep in mind that I am grateful to have a nice job with a great organization that I believe in the values of. I am grateful to have health insurance and benefits. I am grateful for my good health and the fact that I am able to work. I am grateful my job is not being eliminated without a replacement option. @Snowflake1968 I am so sorry to hear about your job. I believe there is a bigger reason for what we are both facing, and we will have that ah-ha moment down the road. @slittlemeister I just love you. You made me laugh with your solution! I would send you the address and half the plane fare just to meet you! LOL! :heart:

    Recap W 10/31 ~ Slow down and think! :D I did ok!
    1) Walked dog before work (did not lose key :D ) / 3.22 mi 58:49 / forgot to stretch :# = happy dog :smiley: & happy me :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 15,074 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 boom! & 41 floors :smiley:
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / will try to prep recipe during trick-or-treat / NO candy ~ it really isn't worth it & besides I have homemade chocolate cake (way better) / net calories green / 14c water = Prepped rice as trick-or-treaters started, then prepped chicken, spinach, mushrooms & garlic in between. Supper finally at 7:15, same time hubby eats at his job, so we were messaging back & forth during our suppers. <3 Hubby too funny, he asked if we still have a cat & dog (I fessed up about the open door & searching for Kitty, but I started with: Remember all's well that ends well). In fact, when treaters were done, I went upstairs to change clothes & checked under our bed ~ there was Kitty ~ she hates the doorbell b/c it brings strangers to our/her house, and hubby/I think that's where she may have been the night I left the door ajar, b/c it all started when neighbor rang our doorbell. Sorry for the ramble... net calories green 13 (I logged cooking prep time to make it so :D ), sodium -410, sugar -30 (ate chocolate cake as planned & only 1 piece of candy at the end, which I logged ~ much better than previous years :D ), fiber & protein good (yay), 14c water :smiley:
    4) Evening to-do's = Not much energy left, but also during treating hours, I cleaned/reorganized my spice cabinet (long overdue) & updated kitchen perpetual calendar for Nov. :smiley:
    5) Unplug 9:00 :o I was actually in bed w/ everything off :D / floss :s / retainers :s / verify alarm is set/on, bed & TV off 10:15 :smiley:(walk dog before work Th)

    JFT Th 11/1 ~ Just didn't want to get of bed early to walk dog, so today is rest day = sad dog :#
    1) Breakfast, lunch & snacks prelogged / dinner tonight w/ old friend D at Mexican restaurant, there will be adult beverages, and know my calories/sodium will be sky-high ~ not going to stress about, just get back to eating on plan tomorrow / 12c water & lots tomorrow!
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    3) Nov. challenge ~ five somethings every bathroom trip ~ remembering at home is real challenge
    4) Use search function, find & update monthly goals on JFT
    5) Evening chores before/after dinner: read Sunday ads / wash dishes / boil eggs
    6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / verify/set alarm, bed & TV off 10:15 (walk dog before work F)

    October Goals / Results:
    • Walk dog 5-6x per week = Walked 4x one week (see x-train below), 5x two weeks & 6x one week ~ total of 85.25 miles & happy dog :smiley:
    • Run for the Hill of It 5K 10/13/18 ~ part unpaved trail, ends by going UP a steep sledding hill. :p Want to beat last year's 48:41 and hill time of 2:04. :# Beat both goals: time 48:13 & hill 2:01 :star: with portions of trail wet & muddy due to 5" rain in preceding week. Looking at overall results, fastest hill times (king & queen of the hill) were 0:44 and 0:55 :o , and only 25 out of 267 participants finished the hill in < 1:00. :o
    • Cross-train when weather does not permit walks: home version of weights & circuit training, Sweaty Betty or other videos, WiiFit, yoga ~ eventually this is going to happen! :smiley: Up early one morning to walk dog before work & rain started, so instead of going back to bed, I did my weights/circuit training in the basement. :star: Oh, and I get to count 1 day of Oct. leaf-raking! :smiley:
    • Rest days: at least one per week but no more than two = One week had 1 rest day, other weeks took 2 :smiley:
    • Prelog food as often as possible & close MFP diary every day except: belated bday dinner w/ BFF 10/12 & whenever hubby takes me out for my bday (since we will only see each other for workday lunch); possibly 10/2 evening for retirement planning event ~ no idea how I might log "light buffet provided" = Doing much better prelogging, but staying flexible for changes. Only 1 day diary not closed: retirement planning event 10/2. :smiley: And just realized, hubby has not taken me out to belated bday dinner yet! ;)
    • Net calories green or w/ 100 on 80% of month (25/31 days) = 16/31 days w/i 100 net calories ~ just realized MFP chart shows AVERAGE daily net calorie goal so I'm not sure how to interpret ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    • Take measurements 10/31 W a.m. before work & log on MFP = done ~ no major improvements & I'm ok with that at this stage of my goals
    • Scale goal: 153# or lower = oops ~ lowest "official" weigh in was 155 and 10/31 was 157 ~ noticed for months now that harder to lose as I approach goal ~ not going to stress over :D

    November Goals:
    • Walk dog 5-6x per week
    • Cross-train when weather does not permit walks: home version of weights & circuit training, Sweaty Betty or Leslie Sansone videos, WiiFit, yoga ~ in Nov. raking leaves will count!
    • Rest days: at least one per week but no more than two
    • Prelog food as often as possible & close MFP diary every day except: 11/17 holiday parade day / staging volunteer followed by adult beverages & brunch (it's tradition!); 11/22 Thanksgiving (US); possibly belated bday dinner w/ hubby
    • Net calories green or w/ 100 on 80% of month (24/30)
    • Take measurements Sat. 12/1 (before Jingle Bell 5K / goal < 45:00) & log on MFP
    • Scale goal: < 155#

    Weight loss is not linear. The scale is a tool with data. Focus on the process, not the outcome.

    JFT, Wed, Oct 31
    1. log all food
    2. Eat less than 1800 calories
    3. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
    4. Walk for 120 minutes
    5. Rest day from lifting weights.
    Results- The logging and exercise was a success. I can’t say the same about the calories. There were too many cupcakes and cookies around yesterday. I didn’t go over maintenance, but it definitely wasn’t a day that would help me lose weight.

    JFT, Thurs, Nov 1
    1. log all food
    2. Eat less than 1700 calories
    3. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
    4. Walk for 90 minutes
    5. At least 30 minutes of lifting weights.
