    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Drink 3 large water bottles :/ Think I only had one, need to work on this one!
    - 30 minute lunch break - meditate or read Le Monde/ French vocab :/ Only took about 15 mins - was rather pushed for time
    - Stick to food plan :'( I had planned exactly what I was going to eat, but then the restaurant didn't have a table!! So we went to another restaurant - and without a plan, I ended up getting something way more fattening. Oh well, I will do better next time. Maybe I should have had a back up plan
    - Leave work by 5pm :neutral: I'm not sure why I wrote 5, I meant 5.30. But actually, it was a bit later (5.50)

    Today's commitments:
    - Log everything I eat
    - Drink 3 large water bottles
    - Stick to food plan
    - Go to gym at lunch OR later on if electrician hasn't been by then
    - Have a 1h lunch break, regardless
    - Plan to-do list
    - Stop work by 7pm

    @joan6630 I'm so sorry about the death in your family. But I'm glad that you got to spend some time in your hometown. I've only ever really lived in very close proximity to my home(except for a failed year at college and I was only an hour away and home every other weekend). With the exception of my parents, all the rest of my family is in Northern New York. At least 6 hours away and my brother is an hour and a half away in Philly. I never see him though. He doesnt have a car and I refuse to drive in that city(bad experience) so I kind of feel your pain.

    I actually slept through most of the night! That very rarely ever happens. Lol. Usually, the cat wakes me up around 330 or 4. Well, he waited until 5 this morning and he didnt even mean to. Lol. He was using his box and I woke up terrified because I didnt know what the sound was. Lol. It took a while to fall back to sleep. I only slept for another 20 minutes before I had to get up. Lol.

    I hope everyone is sleeping well! Work is 7:45 to 3:45 and then I'm going over the M&M's for dinner because the DH is closing tonight. I'll try and get on before tonight!

    And Daddy just called me and told me that there is a large tree down at the top of my part of the driveway. So he's going to have to drive me to work which is going to be a pain. There is a whole system for getting into the bank in the morning and it's going to be all screwed up. Thank goodness it's not just me and someone else opening. It would have been an even bigger pain. Although now the DH and I dont have to figure out the car situation. The tree should be moved and most of the snow melted by the time he has to leave at 1.

    AND I got a phone call about 5 minutes before I was going to leave that work has a delayed start! :D

    Daddy moved the tree mostly out of the way and helped me dig out our cars. I was able to get them up the driveway, around the tree and into the parking lot(plowed!) next door. It's supposed to be in the 40's for the rest of the week and then the 50's the beginning of April(YAAAY!!!!) so it's going to be INCREDIBLY muddy here for a while. We got 7 inches that are going to melt VERY quickly. Lol. I think I am going to park up there for the next few days and wear a pair of ratty sneakers for the walk up. Maybe even a pair of ratty jeans as well. I dont want to slosh mud all over my work pants. Lol

    What a morning! Lol

    Get cuddles from the grandchildren! It's Grandkid Wednesday! - :) Partially, my 6 year old grandson isn't as cuddly now that he's getting to be a big boy, but my 2 year old granddaughter is my girl and loves on me every time she visits!

    @joan6630 Welcome back! You were missed around here. Funerals have that bittersweet taste to them. The unfortunate event also lends itself to reunions, homecomings, reminiscing, and reminders that life is precious. What a wonderful time you and you husband had walking down memory lane. Thank you for sharing your sweet, sweet memories. It was a lovely read.

    Now: Operation Red Cup! Get back on the journey. Perhaps a mini-goal for you: set a realistic goal as to where you want to be on your 67th birthday. Then write it down. Throw away any food bombs laying around to ensnare you and let's get focused and intense through July! What a fantastic birthday gift for yourself. We are all here to rah rah you along if you so choose to take up this challenge!

    Keep us posted on your daughter.

    Peace and joy

    This thread got me back on track for my first days!! I'm on day 18 now. Yay! :)

    JFT....

    1. Go to easy yoga class at lunch.
    2. Go to soccer tonight.
    3. No alcoholic drinks tonight.
    4. Was home late last night, no time to pack proper lunch which I hate! Don't let this ruin my nutrition goals today. Eat healthy 'backup' foods I keep at work, or if I go get something make healthy choices with MFP diary in mind.
    5. Lights out by 11:00 pm.

    JFT, 3/22/18

    1. Log all food :DWent over M&M's and she did the lil of this and lil of that again. All I know was that it was chicken, rice, and tomato sauce. Lol
    2. At LEAST 64oz water :)I'm not sure the exact amount but I had two 24 bottles at work and an 18oz glass at M&M's earlier. I'm also drinking 32oz now and will probably drink another before I go to bed. So probably twice that! Lol
    3. Up by 6 :)Dumb cat(actually wasn't REALLY his fault this time.) Lol
    4. Coffee/Breakfast :)Actually remembered to eat breakfast today! I thought I was going in really early so I figured I would need to eat something to make it through the morning. Turns out I didnt go in until 10. Lol
    5. Bible/Quiet time :| / :)I love my meditation/prayer time. I'm glad I got that in this morning.
    6. Yoga! :DI totally could but by the time I found out I was going in late I was already showered, dressed and make-uped for the day
    7. Remember lunch!!!! :)I ate waaaay too fast today though. I was n a group message with some dear friends.
    Then a bunch of my back office coworkers came into the break room and wanted to get to know me. It was lovely.
    But I was really distracted. Lol
    8. Leave by 7:15 :DDelayed opening. Left at 9:35
    9. Work 745-4(ish) :)10-415
    10. M&M's(Dinner/Needles) :)Just dinner and conversation but that was more than enough!
    11. Leftovers ready for DH dinner :)He should be leaving any minute. I'm gonna heat up the food M gave me from tonight. I think he will appreciate it.
    12. Shower :)I should do this now. Lol. Maybe when I'm done with this. Lol
    13. Bed by 12 :)Most likely. If not earlier. We like to catch up on each others days now that we're both working again so maybe a bit later. He still has a half an hour drive ahead of him.

    TODAY WAS AWESOME!!!!

    It was pretty slow because about a foot of snow was dumped on us overnight. About 2/3 of it is melted now because it was almost 50F out this afternoon. Lol. But I got to do a whole bunch of different transactions and learned a few more things about the teller system they used. I had a really good break with my fellow bankers which was really awesome. I still dont have the courage to bring my phone out onto the floor so I pretty much ignore it in my bag for most of the day. I dont think about it often because the other tellers and I spend a huge amount of time chatting. Lol. I got out at about 4:15 and went right over to M&M's where I had a really relaxing evening. Wonderful food, even better people and a lovable cat with a broken tail. Lol. It was just a really, REALLY great day. I see many more of these in my future. Lol.

    Tomorrow is going to be simple I think.

    JFT, 3/23/18

    1. Log all food

    I actually slept really well last night! I dont remember what woke me up this morning. I just remember waking up for a spell and then cuddling with the DH and falling back to sleep before the alarm went off. It couldn't have been too early because I think it was partially light out. Lol.

    I got up way earlier then I needed to this morning because I had to run to the store to pick up milk and use the ATM. It's a usual Friday morning run that I do before anything else. I pick up coffee when I'm there. It was actually really REALLY busy this morning. Usually, it's not THAT busy at 7 in the morning. Lol. But I got what I needed and got out of there. I was able to park in front of my house too! The parts of the driveway that aren't clear are mainly ice right now but it's not too bad at all. It was nice not to have to walk the 1/4 mile from the church parking lot(where we park during storms) to my front door. Lol. Well, I have two hours before I have to go to work. I want to get at least a short yoga video in. I need to do something exercise wise. I haven't at all this week I think. Other than shoveling snow yesterday I think. Lol
