That's right! You will never come to an official stopping place at work--until it's your last day; as soon as you finish a task another pops up ready to take its place. I guess it's kind of like food. We have to be master over it or else we will be a slave to it.
I'm absolutely thrilled over your smiley faces and intentional eating/drinking. Woo-hoo for you you!!
Peace and joy3 -

Recap F 3/9
1) Treadmill before work / 3 mi 48:46 / stretched
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 14,037 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 36 floors
3) Usual breakfast & snacks / leftovers for lunch / hamburger soup & salad for supper / net calories green = Prelogged food after I posted, and nixed salad at supper so I could eat big cookie. Net calories -148, sugar -6, fiber & protein excellent, sodium good & 14c water ~ not too bad.
4) Evening: make soup how in the world recipe estimates 15 min. prep ~ I was washing & chopping all veggies at least 30 min. / wash towels / call mom & dad had wonderful chat for 45 min. / start meal plan & grocery list started list but no plan / maybe 1 more to-do? it's Friday! = couple small tasks done
5) Unplug 10:00 10:10? / must floss & retainers! x2! / not too late to bed, want to keep sleep rhythm stable, especially with clocks advancing Sat. = couldn't believe how tired I was so went to bed just after normal time guess I needed my sleep
Tonight is 8th Annual Beer & Biscuits charity event = samples of adult beverages (beer & wine) and food (mostly desserts & cheese) ~ not logging & no regrets! Benefits area no-kill animal shelter. Maybe get silent auction item this year!
This morning, hubby decided after we run errands, he wants to eat lunch at nearby Chinese buffet. Oh the sodium. Anyway, he loves that place so I figured why not, but know my daily weigh-in tomorrow will probably be horrendous. So with those things in mind...
JFT Sat. 3/10
1) Drink water whenever I can...this will be hard today with all the time away from home
2) Walk dog / ice (mostly) gone from area roads and beautiful sunny day (still cold)
3) Remember be at church 4:30 / choir sings in 5:00 service
4) BFF & her hubby pick me up 6:15 (he is our DD / designated driver) / have a blast!2 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food...my sweet tooth, especially chocolate...portion control...FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

The French Toast Casserole I made for breakfast was a hit and I portioned it out so that we can have it a few other times this week. Just waiting for the dishes to soak so I can clean them without spending an hour scrubbing! Lol. The DH liked the two presents I got him(new belt/t-shirt he wanted). I'm just waiting for 2 more to come in the mail. Will hopefully have them tomorrow or Monday. I am going to attempt to log food today day. Tonight is a beer/pizza/Pens game night so that my calories will probably be ridiculously high. But just like @cschmitz110515 no regrets this weekend. Tomorrow will probably be a crapshoot for even logging dinner because we are going to M&M's and she is really hard to log! She just throws things together. They're always super tasty but I have no idea whats in them. Lol.2
-
Well, I just logged the recipe for the breakfast...definitely not a healthy breakfast! Lol. 1 serving was over 800Call! I probably should have checked that when I found it! Lol.4

2. Meditation
3. Studio time and minimalist podcast
4. Hubby's specialist appt went well. He's not really aware that my first husband started out with the same thing as he went for, ended up with cancer and lost vision in one of his eyes. That doesn't mean I didn't tell him. He just doesn't want to think about these things. So he's also not aware how it impacts others.
5. Pool

1. Up by 7Yes but didn't get out of bed until about 745.
2. Coffee/Meditate/MFPEverything but Meditating.
3. Pick up groceriesAfter my designated time but I am there every week so they are pretty used to me. Lol, The dont seem to mind when I show up a bit late.
4. Put breakfast in the crockpotI forgot that I had to chop apples. Thank God I had one of those apple corer/slicer things. That made it much easier.
5. YogaThe DH woke up at 7 with me instead of at 1030 like I had planned for him! I didn't get there but I did do a half an hour video at home. I'm gonna try and go on Monday morning.
6. Breakfast with DHVery very yummy, but probably not worth the calories! Lol
7. Pay some billsForgot. Putting this on tomorrows list!
8. LunchBreakfast turned into brunch so we didn't exactly have breakfast or lunch
9. Meal PrepSpent about 5 hours at this! It was insane! But my fridge/freezer is full of labeled, fairly accurate portion-sized food. I also created a snack box(literally a cardboard box) that I put all of our snacky things. All portioned out into baggies(if not already snack sized)
10. DH timeSpent most of it meal prepping but at least I was in the same room as him.
11. Pizza/Beer for dinnerSo yummy! And I only ate 2 pieces and stuck to my 2 beer limit! I was actually uncomfortably full by the time I was finished with my 2 slices. Lol
12. Pens gameWatched the 1st period but it was a pretty rough game for my Penguins. The DH got REALLY mad at a blown call and I made him change the channel for fear of flying remotes into TV screens.
13. Bed whenever!
Currenty 1:36am....
It was a pretty decent day until about an hour ago when I had an issue with my illness. Part of my illness, even when I'm stable, is that even the littlest random thing said or done can turn my great mood into a really terrible one. One tiny, inconsiderate things my DH asked me soured my entire mood and just me on a path of carelessness and a general feeling of being overwhelmed(Wow...that was really hard to say Lol). He asked me to turn off the only light in the room so that he could see his video game better, even though he saw that I was cleaning up. If I had turned the light off I would not have been able to finish cleaning. I know it was just him not thinking, but I got incensed and because he was on his mic with his friends I didn't want to blow up at him(which would have been unreasonable anyway) so I internalized it and it just turned out bad. I didn't do or say anything mean to the DH but I was a bit short with him. I finished the dishes, turned the light off and kissed him good night without a word. It was just something totally random with me when my illness decides to flair its ugly head. I feel better now though. I came into the bedroom to do my JFT and put my headphones on with Pandora playing loudly. A song I haven't heard in years but that had a significant impact on my life when I was in my late teens/early 20's came on. It made me smile and I feel better. I texted the DH in the other room(how millennial of me!) and sent him an adorable picture of our cat sleeping on my arm while I'm typing on my laptop(the beginning of this post!). I apologized for my snappy mood. It's amazing how my mood shifts at the littlest prompting sometimes. I was angry for all of about 45 minutes. And now, even with the angry blood still pumping in my ears, I feel fine and am thinking lovey-dovey feelings about my DH. Lol. Just a little insight into the mind of a woman with Bipolar Disorder.
Onto my JFT, 3/11/18
1. Up by 7
2. Morning Routine/Yoga/Meditate
3. Coffee & Tea with DH
4. Church
5. Lunch
6. Pay bills/update planner for the week
7. DH time
8. Leave for M&M's by 345
9. Visit/Dinner with M&M
10. Quiet time at home
11. Bed by 11
I hope everyone is asleep and doing it well! See you all in the morning!

Okay so my bad mood from Friday carried on through Saturday.
I think with all the banging from the neighbours and the kids screaming all day and the morning stress of the nursery run. I just couldn’t relax properly so didn’t feel rested at all even when everyone was in bed.
Only to have Saturday with full-on difficult toddlers and me and my partner bickered for a bit (both just stressed out) but I got a fairly decent sleep last night.
So try again today. Logged my breakfast and breastfeeding for the day.
Will have to make smart choices as my parents are coming round to see the baby properly and are getting us a takeaway.
Anyway
Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Well, this morning has definitely been better! After church this morning the DH and I have decided to start a few new practices in our home. Just simple things to help us feel closer to each other and such. I'm pretty excited to get started. We ended up going to the later service because we forgot about the clocks jumping ahead. But it was still a good service and our Pastor ended about on time. He has a habit of going on past the end time. Lol.
Anyway!
I made a PB/Greek Yogurt dip to try last night. I had my first portion with apple slices and it was really good! It was plain yogurt which I'm not really a fan of but the sweetness of the PB balanced it out nicely. So I think that will be one of my new snacks. Lol.
Going over M&M's for a birthday dinner for the DH. It's gonna be a good night but definitely calorie laden. I will do the best I can to log. I have a feeling though that it won't work out too well. Lol.
I hope everyone is having a great day!4 -

Hey, YOU, yes, I'm talking to you! You have got this goal...and you know how to do it, too! Gym, water (don't forget Operation: Red Cup!), and stay within your MFP count. You've done it. You can do it now. And if I can give you just a wee, small, I'm pointing 9 fingers at me, advice: stay out of Walgreens, Target, Walmart, and the candy aisle at the grocery store. From my observations, this is where you get waylaid. Put a big note on your dash: Sacrifice is giving up something that is good for something that is BETTER: Stay away from the candy!!! If your daughter wants candy, she can get it herself! or your husband can! We are all here rah-rah-ing you to this victory! Go Joan! Go Joan! Go Joan!4 -

@clicketykeys I'm with you! I absolutely HATE DST! I never quite catch up to that lost hour when I have to get up one hour earlier. UGH. Dreading it already.
@toaljasa I'm with you! GO JOAN! GO JOAN! GO JOAN! You got this!
@Faebert That cake is absolutely AMAZING! I love it! You did a great job and I'll bet all the kids loved it! Nice job!1 -
I had goals in my head for yesterday but didn't manage to do real well with them. I fell off the ice cream wagon last night and I am not proud of it. Comfort food again...which I did not need!
I had goals in mind for today too. I have not reached them all, but I did reach the ones that mattered the most to me.
Sunday, I DID:
1. Logged all my food
2. Stayed green
3. Cleaned bathroom and scrubbed bathtub
4. Baked my husband Old-Fashioned Oatmeal, raisin and walnut cookies
5. Cleaned and rearranged the back spare room and made it into my "Book Nook" Yea! I've been wanting to do this.
6. Swept and vacuumed floors
7. Picked out tomorrow's clothes for work
8. Packed tomorrow's lunch
So, considering I have not been feeling good and I'm on Day 12 of influenza, I think I did pretty good. I hope I didn't overdo it because I am returning to work tomorrow and it is the first day I had the energy to get up off the couch and do something. I always tend to do more than I should and put myself back down. So, here's crossing my fingers that tomorrow goes well. I've been out of work for 2 weeks, so it will be good to get back and see how far behind I am! *groan*
Just for Monday:

I cannot control what happens to me, but I certainly can control how I react to it!4 -
Recap Sat. 3/10 ~ Instead of Chinese buffet (hubby's choice), we ate late lunch at another buffet (Golden Corral). I overate, but not like I used to. Felt physically sick to my stomach after, so good learning experience. Also, maybe evidence my stomach is shrinking?
1) Drink water whenever I can...this will be hard today with all the time away from home = Not really sure since stopped logging with post-dog-walk snacks. Maybe 10c?
2) Walk dog / ice (mostly) gone from area roads and beautiful sunny day (still cold ~ temp in 20s with wind chill) = 3.35 miles 57:39 & happy dog
Fitbit 13,753 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 & 38 floors
3) Remember be at church 4:30 / choir sings in 5:00 service = This is why I hate going to Sat. service...I got busy and almost left late. Thank goodness, hubby asked me what time I said I needed to leave?
4) BFF & her hubby pick me up 6:15 (he is our DD / designated driver) / have a blast at 8th Annual Beer & Biscuits charity event ~ samples of adult beverages (craft beer & wine) and food (mostly desserts & cheese) ~ no logging & no regrets! Benefit for area no-kill animal shelter. Maybe get silent auction item this year! = Great time with friends tasting our way around the room, tried some marvelous drinks and food. Almost got two funky, wonderful prints (one cats, one dogs) in silent auction, but after bidding 3 times, I was outpriced. Good, bc funds go to animals. Bumped into friend we volunteer with at holiday parade, and she remarked she noticed my weight loss, said I looked good, so it's obvious to people I don't see on a regular basis!
