    @hyperinchrist I only have a cat who doesn't like being outside. Lol. But sometimes I can get the DH out here with me. He can only take it for a few minutes though. He has a fear of bugs...which is rough because we live in the middle of the woods. Lol. It's a nice place to escape to though. Lol

    Met all my goals yesterday except eating within macros (ate slightly over) and I forgot about the water again! I honestly need to just leave the 2 litres of water beside me all times just so I can remember to drink it.

    My goals for today:
    Eat within macros
    Drink 2 litres of water
    Apple cider vinegar
    Lift
    C25K
    10k steps
    Burn at least 2200 calories

    Met all my goals yesterday but meeting my macros ! Again ate too much. At least I remembered water.

    Goals for today:

    Eat within macros
    2 litres of water
    Apple cider vinegar
    Lift
    10k steps
    Walk raffi (dog)
    Play with rondo (dog)
    Burn at least 2200 calories

    @Faebert I think it's funny how it's freezing and snowy in the UK, but the Mid-Atlantic(East Coast) of the US it's gonna be sunny and 60F(15.5C). Isn't it usually the other way around? Lol.
    Thank you for the Congrats! It was a total shock! Lol. And you have some set of goals for tomorrow! Good luck! I know you can do it! You keep crushing it too!

    @acrylicfox I know exactly how you feel about the unemployment issue. I've sent my resume out to about 15 different places in the last week and I haven't had a single inquiry or anything. We are seriously in trouble if I dont find something soon. And I mean soon. I looked over our budget this afternoon and almost burst into tears. So I get it completely. The DH keeps telling me that everything will work out...I just dont know how.

    JFT, 2/27/18

    1. Up by 7 :)Kind of weird. Woke up at 5. Stayed up until 6:15. Went back to sleep until 715. Lol
    2. Morning Routine(Weigh/Clothes/Coffee&Tea/MFP/Teeth) :)All done
    3. Run to Godmom house to feed Jojo(x2) :)Only had to do it once because they came home early.
    4. Gym :DEnded up doing a yoga video instead and boy do my thighs hurt!
    5. Library :)Had to drag myself there but I did it! Spent 45 minutes working on my story!
    6. Make wraps/fruit cups 4 DH :)Actually did this last night but it made getting DH's lunch together much quicker
    7. Check out jobs on C/L :):/I did it but there was nothing good
    8. Call Tax People :/I really need to do this! Maybe I'll email them instead. I really hate talking on the phone...at least for myself anyway.
    9. Print out Finance stuff for Wed. :)Fought my printer for about 10 minutes but it's done. Also printed out my meal plan this week to put up on my fridge...only 3 days left though. Lol
    10. Read/Nap :)I read, but I didn't nap.
    11. DH time :)The DH got out of work late but we did spend some time talking about unpleasant things. Although he tried his best to be comforting
    12. Dinner/Dishes :)Leftovers. All I have left to wash are the dishes from the DH's lunch box. Lol
    13. Pens Game :)Just started. When I'm done with this the DH and I are going to lay on the couch and watch it.
    I hope the refs/announcers aren't too bad(it's an away broadcast.)
    14. Bed by 11pm. :|Maybe but not likely.

    Had a really good day up until 5 pm. I did a yoga video for the first time in two months. It felt great! I think I'm going to incorporate it into my morning routine. I feel like it keeps getting bigger and bigger. Lol. I did it because I really didn't want to go to the gym and I felt like I needed a good stretch. My legs are definitely feeling it though. Lol. At about 5 pm, though, I looked over the budget for next week...bad(but necessary) idea. I hate that I dont have a job yet! I must have sent out my resume to 15 different business in the last 4 days. I know that sometimes it can take a while to hear back, but I'm starting to get really worried. If I dont find something in the next few weeks, we are going to be in some serious trouble. I know that this is just a testing time, but sometimes I feel like I'm being stretched too thin. It also doesn't help that it's shark week so my emotions are all over the place. For all those who are praying folks, please send up a few for me.

    Onto my list for,

    JFT, 2/28/18

    1. Up by 7/Morning routine/Yoga
    2. Inspection station by 8
    3. DH up by 9/Text M about Thursday

    7. Library(or writing on the back deck) for AT LEAST 45 minutes
    8. Read/Nap(maybe)
    9. Prep Dinner(Seasoned, seared Rib Eye Steaks/Mashed potatoes/Green beans)
    10. Dinner/Dishes

    No goals today. I'm home sick with that nasty bronchial cold that's been going around. GD has had it for a week and I was hoping to avoid it, but I'm down.

    I will still be mindful of what I eat and try to hydrate, but that's about it for goals today.

    Day 27 happy happy joy joy,
    I have to stop leaving the second half of my workout till after my partner goes to bed, last night as I got up from the exercise bike I bumped into the control panel (only know because I heard a beep) but I was too tired to check out what happened,
    I got on this morning and found it hard going, (and was a bit disappointed in my progress) till I noticed that the intensity level had gone up :neutral:
    I have spent at least half an hour today trying to lower it again, but can't :confused:
    So ready or not, it would seem I have just leveled up :flushed:
    Guess I should start to prepare for the boss fight at the end.

    Day 28:
    Limit KJ
    watch out for sugar, sodium and try to eat more protein
    avoid coffee, gluten and dairy
    aim for 2 hrs on exercise bike
    rescheduled: investigate fitness/dance/ pilates videos on youtube.
