    Haha, @Bex953172 I went to the college the other morning and found out that I dont need to take any more classes. So I'm graduating in May! Also, doing a second interview at the bank...so there is a very good likelihood that I will be getting it!

    Aww, poor @Bex953172 I feel bad for you! I don't know how I would be giving myself a shot. Probably not so good. Maybe just aim, close my eyes and shoot! Hope you feel better soon, and enjoy little Casey.

    I google anything I don't know (replaces the encyclopedia set I remember as a kid). Found this for good sources of iron:

    Liver
    Meat, fish and tofu
    Iron-fortified breakfast cereals or bread
    Eggs
    Pulses and beans
    Nuts and seeds
    Dried fruit - such as dried apricots, prunes and raisins
    Wholegrains - such as brown rice
    Soybean flour
    Most dark-green leafy vegetables - such as watercress and curly kale

    JFT, 3/1/18

    1. Log all food! :)
    2. Focus on water(2-32oz) :|Still got some time before bed
    3. Up at 7/usual routine/measurements/yoga(maybe) :)Everything but measurements. Gonna do it tomorrow
    4. Meet R at 930 for our weekly breakfast :)Was super early because I overestimated how long it would take to get there
    5. Have an AWESOME time with R :)It was short but fun. L was restless and rambunctious. No other kids were there to play with
    6. Spend time with DH before he leaves for work/Make lunch :) Spent like 2 hours together. Almost forgot to put his lunch together. Lol
    7. Meal plan/Shopping list(because I can afford food this week! Lol) :)Made a list of everything in my pantry cabinet. I always buy multiples of things I already have multiple of! (ex. 6 cans stewed tomatoes)
    8. Do a prelim of March budget :)Did a very basic one because I dont know why my salary will be at the bank or when I will be paid.
    9. Read/Nap(maybe) :/Nope. I really should have but I think I might just pass out on the couch watching the game when I finish this post
    10. LIBRARY!!!! :/3 Loads of laundry instead
    11. Dinner(Leftovers)/Dishes(2x) :)Had a late lunch and a pint of ice cream at dinner time. Lol. At least it's all logged. Lol
    12. Pens Game(send updates to DH) :)Doing this now. I have a feeling it's going to be a high scoring game. 6 goals between the 2 teams in 15 minutes!
    13. Bed by 12 :)Probably earlier. I might only spend like a half an hour up with the DH

    So I wrote this whole post but my computer gave me my first blue screen on this one. So a rundown, meeting tomorrow with the branch manager for the job, really really missing the DH tonight, feel like crap. That's about what I was going to say only with more detail. Lol.

    Onto my list for tomorrow,

    JFT, 3/2/2018

    1. Log all food
    2. 64 oz water
    3. Up by 730
    4. Morning routine/Yoga(maybe)
    5. MEASURE
    6. Aldi's
    7. DH time
    8. Bank meeting
    9. Pick up groceries
    10. Wash towels and bedding
    11. LIBRARY
    12. Read/Nap
    13. Dinner w/ M&M(maybe)

    @Bex953172 Red meat is the best I think. Also apparently vitamin C is good because it increases your propensity to actually absorb iron from other foods. So, nice oranges/satsumas, etc? Hope you feel better soon

    Aha! Yes!
    The midwife said to take my iron with orange juice as it helps
    But I have vitamin C in the cupboard! So I will take it with that x

    Missed you all & welcome newcomers!

    I didn't post for 2 days which is not a good thing for me. I need the accountability.
    Eastern Massachusetts is getting pummeled w/a bad coastal storm. Making me nervous!
    Not walking dog (maybe later if wind dies down).
    Do exercises at home & house clean.
    Meditate 25 mins this afternoon
    Listen to a podcast & read for inspiration.
    Drink water-64oz min.
    Track all my meals today.
    Low carb/high protein. goal 150 grams.
    Possibly pick up some veggies at grocery store.
    Plan weekend meals.
    Early to bed.


    Have a great day!

    So it's just after 10 am here and like @Saragirl2 We are getting pummeled with the same storm. I think we are at the tail end of it though. It's just a miserable day out. It's snowing/sleeting/raining here and in the upper 30s. My driveway is flooding pretty terribly. The hazards of living a 1/4 mile in the woods along a dirt road! Lol.

    But I have to start getting ready for my meeting soon. I'm not gonna shower because I did that last night and I've done my hair already. Just need to change, put on makeup and brush my teeth...not necessarily in that order. Lol.

    I hope everyone is having a great day! I'll be on later to let you know how my meeting went!

    Thank you, everyone! It has been an insane week! I'll probably hear from the HR department tomorrow(hopefully, fingers crossed). I really want to start training on Monday. I want to get the ball rolling. I'm behind on a student loan and I'm excited to get it current. Lol. Who knew something so simple would bring me joy. Lol.

    My Godmom is an acupuncturist. For some reason, I never thought of seeing if she could do something for the super stiff neck I've been dealing with for years. Daddy and I had dinner with her and Goddad this evening and DOD mentioned going to the Chiropractor and it clicked to ask her if she could do something about my neck. So I'm going back over early tomorrow and getting so needles put in me. Lol. I love that I have never been afraid of needles. She has helped me with so many things, both emotional and physical.

    Anyway, sorry for the randomness of this post. Lol

    1. Log all food :DNot going to happen. Whenever I eat at M&M's house it's almost impossible to figure out what she puts in the meals. Lol. I did gorge myself on apple pie though.
    2. 64 oz water :DMaybe half of that!
    3. Up by 730 :|Kind of. I got up 7. Was up for a bit, then passed out on the couch until 8:30! Lol
    4. Morning routine/Yoga(maybe) :)no yoga and this was kind of sporadic.
    5. MEASURE :DWith everything that happened this morning, I didn't even think about it
    6. Aldi's :)There was a grumpy man that was waiting outside with us. It was a bit funny but mostly annoying.
    7. DH time :)Kind of. Not much though. My bank meeting took longer then I thought. Lol
    8. Bank meeting :):):):):):)<3<3<3My NEW manager and I talked for like an hour! We get along great!
    I'm super excited! I was there for almost an hour and a half
    10. Pick up groceries :)Got there a little late because the meeting ran late, but they know me well at the online pickup counter. Lol
    11. Wash towels and bedding :|We are dealing with a terrible winter storm at the moment. I did not want to have to leave the house more then I needed to.
    12. LIBRARY :DSee above
    13. Read/Nap :)Read but I didn't want to nap in case I missed the bank calling. I ended up going up to Dad's house to spend time with him and read, but he had to leave as soon as I got there so I read, wrapped in a blanket with a dog at my feet. It was really nice
    15. Dinner w/ M&M(maybe) :):)Had a GREAT time! It was the first time I had spent time with M&M and Daddy at the same time. I dont think I realized how much Daddy likes to talk when he is with his friends. Lol. He was regaling us with story after story(most of which I have heard a million times)
    16. Church meeting :'(Was canceled due to the storm. It's okay though because I got to spend more time with M&M(this my short for of GodMom/GodDad.)

    Said this in my previous post! Lol.

    Onward!

    JFT, 3/3/18
