    Wednesday Recap:

    Day 2 JS 8 Week Program (Barefoot Cardio Core) :)
    Put Away Laundry :)
    Clean house (except bedrooms/bathrooms) :)

    Thursday JFT
    Day 3 JS 8 Week Program (Total Body) :)
    Hit 8,000 steps
    In bed by 8pm

    Tidy up fridge :)
    Leave house 5 minutes earlier :)
    Read posts from this thread from today.

    As you can see, I've already taken care of most of my JFT's; that's b/c I'm a morning person and try to get things done before I leave for work. I'm wiped out by the time I get home so not productive at all.

    You all have a great Thursday!

    .

    I have sprained the joint that connects my big toe with my foot. Feeling discouraged; this is going to cut back on my cardio, which means I need to cut back on eating. UGH. :( I like eating...

    Ah bummer. I had this the other week. Well I just cut the bottom of my foot, tiny cut it was but it hurt to out pressure on it for like 3 days.
    Not that I've been doing cardio.. But at that point I knew I couldn't even if i wanted to :lol:

    I hope it gets better soon! Have you tried ice? Or heat? Not sure which it is for a sprain!

    @Bex953172 So glad to see you back! I always love reading your posts.

    @MLHC1 Wow, this year you've just been bombarded. So happy that baby boy & life are on the mend. And very happy to read your "recovery" plan ~ seems very sensible and doable. I remember your former lists, they were always so overwhelming (to me). Welcome back!

    @PackerFanInGB You've been missed! So sorry you are eating your emotions over job stress... recently I read an article titled "4 Signs You Care Too Much About What Co-Workers Think" so apparently it's a thing, and it made me think of you. Hope things are settling down in that dept. (((hugs)))

    @clicketykeys Hope you recover swiftly from your sprain so you can continue cardio ~ I totally get your discouragement about cutting back on eating / I like eating. Me too!

    @HEGoddard0928 How are you feeling? Hope you are recovering too.

    @mytime6630 I too am loving the Nov. challenge ~ 5 somethings version. But sometimes I forget.

    @jessicakrall8 Welcome, and please come back every day!

    And to all JFTers, I hope you have a great day!

    JFT - Thursday November 8
    2L of Water
    Calories in Green by 150
    5 Fruits and Veggies
    Only 1 Evening Snack
    Walk 1 Mile
    5 Little Somethings at Bathroom Break
    Write in Journal
    BE Conscious of my goals - DO NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF!

    I left the office early yesterday, I went and met up with Jasmyne, she did my nails and is going to work on updating my resume for me. Apparently there are new standards in resumes so I am hoping that helps me get a job that I love enough to retire from in 20 years. I truly dislike job hunting, and I don't feel I interview very well at all.

    I made homemade pizza last night for supper but ended up burning it. I'm still not used to an oven that works properly. Ended up ordering pizza in, which is much more calorie dense than mine. I did refrain from having my regular evening snack and had strawberries instead though. I also forced myself to walk while watching my show for about 30 minutes. I only counted it as 20 and at a slow pace though as I wasn't giving it my all. I'm still so tired for some reason. Thankfully it's a long weekend.

    I have to run to Michael's to stock up on some paint and look for a couple of ideas for a craft night. I need to get the sample done tonight so I can send pictures to the ladies that are interested in booking me in.


    @jessicakrall8 - Welcome, I joined this group in late March and have only missed a couple of days since. What a supportive group of ladies!

    @MLHC1 - What a year you have had, happy to see your son is done his surgeries.

    @mytime6630 - You were smarter with the leftover Halloween candy than I have been. The Grands came last night and were so excited that I allowed them 2 chocolate treats AND a bag of chips... I feel a little guilty pawning the junk off on others. It's not good for them either.

    @PackerFanInGB - Your happy place sounds like Heaven to me

    @Faebert - How nice that the BF is being more attentive, I'm happy for you that your conversations seemed to have shown an impovement

    @Bex953172 - So happy to see you back! I understand about tight budgets sometimes it just seems to never be enough money coming in. I am not surprised by the job loss, I honestly am surprised they haven't closed it sooner.

    @clicketykeys - Ouch, that sucks that you hurt your toe.

    @Sofia_Alegria - Welcome!

    Hello everyone!
    Officially back! 167 posts behind but that's nothing on @MLHC1!
    I've read them all anyway a s will reply now and update on me after the school run!

    So.. @PackerFanInGB Sorry to hear about the job, I hate the whole behind-my-back thing too, so much so I call people out on it. So addressing the elephant in the room is a good idea.

    @snowflake1968 Sorry to hear about your job too with the branch closing. Did you know it was coming?

    @AJB1014 Yes everything's been good just had no Internet!
    I've missed you all so much!

    @Sofia_Alegria Welcome! Depression is a bummer, I also have it, but we'll done to you for taking charge of your life!
    This is the place to vent if you ever need too.

    @maryrobinson40 To read about your daughter and her BF made me so angry. I can't stand it when that happens. Makes me want to go wallop him one. I'm glad you found a way to get to her. And I hope your daughter is okay.

    @MLHC1 Well well well you have been MIA!
    It sounds like you have been crazy busy!
    How is your little boy now? Is he past all his surgeries now?
    I'm not surprised that you've ended up with PPD. After the bumpy start you've both had. It's valuable bonding time and you've had to spend alot of it in hospitals. You are made of strong stuff!

    If you ever need to talk then I'm here for you, I went through the same thing with my first.
    But it's good to see you back!
    You have been missed!

    To everyone else..
    I missed you all!
    So glad I'm back!

    YAYYYY! YIPPIEEEEE!! SISTER I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK. I MISSED YOU AND AM SUPER EXCITED YOU'RE
    OK, AND DOING YOUR THING.
    Ahhh Man! You being back made my day. I miss my sisters when they're not on.
    Yes I'm admitting it... YOU'VE ALL SPOILED MEπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ And I'm dog gone glafd about it.
    I'm as happy as a kid in a candy store with a blank checkπŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™Œ
    WEEEEEEEE!

    My youngest daughter. She has many health issues.
    She and I keep each other going. We "cut up" (our way of saying having fun,
    wacky, and just funny). Well her birthday is coming on the 14th of November.
    I love my daughters so much. Not perfect, not obedient all the time, not where
    a Mom wants her children to be, BUT I LOVE AND ACCEPT THEM, AND WOULD
    GO TO BAT FOR THEM... Because you love me, I wanted to share them with you.

    Me in wigs. I actually have hair, but I have a sensitive scalp, so I haven't permed
    my natural hair, and I don't get the time it takes to do a whole routine with it.
    So it's quicker to put on a wig.

    That is such a painful spot! I empathize with you on that one. I ended up getting a joint replacement for that exact joint because of a bone spur. Dang that hurt like a son of a gun! (((HUGS)))

    @maryrobinson40 Beautiful pictures of beautiful women! Vavavoom! :)

    @Bex953172 I'm so glad you are back!!! I came on and didn't see you posting and thought "Dang!!! The quilt is almost ready to go in the mail and I don't have an address for her! She'd better come back!" BWAHAHAHA! My friend at work is having me over to her house this weekend to do the quilting of the 3 layers on her longarm sewing machine. I'm so excited!! Then the last piece is sewing on the binding and in the mail it goes! I think, HOPE, you love it!

    @cschmitz110515 I am going to Google that article. It sounds like where I am right now and might be helpful! (((HUGS)))
