    My friend gave me a lot of old costume jewelry that was her Grandmother’s for Michaela and for a project I have in mind. Today was the first time Michaela has seen it and had to wear all the jewelry, ec4x768lxfz7.jpeg
    uvxkhcn7tnn9.jpeg
    Then after supper we have this conversation:
    Michaela was all about jewelry today and after supper noticed my rings. She asked me if I was taking them off, I said “no, these are my wedding rings”.
    She stepped back with the most incredulous voice and says “you married?” I said, “yes, I’m married to Grampie”. She runs into Rodger and tells him that I am married to him. He says, yes we’ve been married for a long long time. She asks him why, he says “I don’t know”. 😂😂😂

    😂😂😂😂
    Leave it to a child to bring the laughs... That was classic. And beautiful!
    The little darling looks lovely in her royal array. I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! this... Thanks for sharing.

    What I did on Wednesday: I logged all my food, stayed under 29 g of added sugar, ate only my pre-logged planned food. I stayed in the Green. I did walk laps around a conference room to get 15 minutes active on my FitBit. I resisted candy from the candy dish. I did not eat anything out of the vending machine. I did listen to both of my favorite podcasts. I did unplug and watch Survivor with my husband, being fully present with him. (It's his favorite show and I know he enjoys watching it together.) I got through ALL my unread emails which had built up after being off two days and had a good day at work. I walked away from negativity and gossip situations. I picked up 6 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies which I had ordered when I was hungry, obviously, but I did not even open one box.

    Now....tonight, I will: Complete my food diary for today. :) Pack tomorrow's lunchbag :) set out tomorrow's clothes :) read today's Simple Abundance page(s) :) write 5 things in my Gratitude journal :) listen to Calm app :) and get a good night's sleep. :confounded:

    Well, I was on a roll yesterday but it's a bit harder today. I am craving sugar so badly. This is Day 4 of no-added sugar. I feel like I'm going through withdrawals! But I'm sticking to it. I have been going the right direction on the scale since I started...tiny increments but still going down FINALLY.

    I just had my yearly follow up with Cardiologist. She scheduled some tests to make sure heart failure isn't getting worse/returning. It had actually reversed itself, but now I've got signs of trouble again. So, they are running some labs today and next week I have to get the testing done. I'm sure it's all fine, but I sure do get tired of having some kind of medical crap going on all the time. The GOOD news was that I've lost 5 lbs since last weighed at the doctor! So that was awesome! 🤗🌟⭐💫✨

    Hope everyone is having a great day!

    Just for Thursday:
    • Log every bite
    • Stay in the Green
    • <29 g added sugar
    • Eat mindfully. Eat only while sitting down.
    • Protein with every meal and snack
    • 64+ oz of water
    • Activity: FitBit step goal | 15 minutes active (x2) | Get up and move during commercial breaks tonight
    • Prep for tomorrow, tonight
    • Stay positive. Don't stress over what I cannot control or change. Be kind.
    • Think about what I'm going to say at scary meeting tomorrow. Write topics and points out and really decide what I need to get across.
    • Bedtime early. Gratitude journal | Joyce or Dodie | Simple Abundance | Calm app

    @Snowflake1968 So very sorry to hear of your uncles's passing. You had had a rough year. Glad you and Hubby are OK again ... you guys are under so much stress, a argument blown out of proportion does not surprise me when you are under as much stress as you are. I am glad you got called in for a interview ... Prayers for you that something will turn up that you love. And ... congratulations on the weight loss ... that is great!
    And ... Michaela is just precious with all the jewels around her! You should frame that picture!

    @cschmitz ... I also started weight lifted about 4 months ago, and I am amazed at the difference. Even though I have not lost weight, I can see a difference in my clothes, so I know it is helping. I have always been pretty strong, and I always felt cardio was the way to go and burn the calories, but I know from reading and talking to others how important weight lifting is. (I am still waiting for the flabby arms to go away though ... but hubby tells me my arms look so much more toned .. so hopefully it is helping!) Good luck to you ... its addicting!

    @toaligsa -- I love your lessons from stuck in the middle. Love the one about making one proactive change. This past week, I have been concentrating on doing that. My change this week is to really work on the march challenge ... of only one snack in the evening. Last nite, I had my orange, and really wanted something else ... but I put forth all the discipline I could ... and grabbed my water, sat in front of my sewing machine, and made it through the nite having only that one snack. And I forgot how good it feels to be able to feel in control again.

    @maryrobinson ... wow, look at you go girl!! You are doing awesome!! So proud of you!! And .... I love all your uplifting posts!

    @bookmeister .. when I worked for a medical publisher .. we were always under such tight deadlines. then they would call meeting to talk about the deadlines ... and sometimes the meetings would go on for hours. .. time I could spend getting the work done to actually meet the deadlines. I am not sure why companies love to have meetings. We used to laugh that it was the bosses that loved meetings so they could feel important, and fill up their days.

    @faebert . glad the sickness is out of your house. And great job on the run ... I am trying to run more on the treadmill at the gym ... I last about 2 minutes running!

    @PackerFan001 -- you are doing great! And great job losing the 5#!

    JFt, Thus
    1. log all food :)
    2. jan challenge - 8+ water :)
    3. feb challenge - only 1 nitetime snack :) I have my orange set aside,and will use all my discipline to not eat anything else!
    4. mar challenge - 15 minutes outside walking :) And ... it was ONLY 15 minutes! its freezing outside! The wind is what made it so cold ... hubby was surprised I was back so quick! BUt I had gone to the gym this morning for 90 minutes, so I knew the walk would be a shorter on, but I planned to do 1 mile. Maybe tomorrow.. hopefully temps will be warmer.
    5. eat slowly :)
    6. mindful eating :)
    7. do not give up :)


    Today was a good day for me, and I had to use a lot of "DIscipline" today ... but I did! We have workers in the common ground behind our house ... they are putting in underground pipes to help with stormwater, to try and prevent erosion. So I decided to bake them some cookies. First, I cheated, and bought already made chocolate chip cookie dough ... less temptation for me. Then ... I baked 1 dozen cookies. I saved 3 for hubby, and took the rest to the crew. They were so excited, and little did I know, but it was one of the guys birthday! But I get home, and hubby ate 2 of the cookies ... saving one for me. I put it in a ziplock bag, and hubby ate it later. But ... I smelled those cookies cooking, but did not eat any! A real NSV for me!

    I am learning to keep healthy foods on hand. Why did it take me this long to know what to do! I guess maybe now, I am ready to get serious,and to use all my discipline to get where I want to be... and it feels good. I am not craving sugar like I was. It will be almost 2 weeks now for me, and I am hoping the sugar is out of my system. But I feel better, and that is a plus.

    So my goalsfor tomorrow will be much the same, things I need to continue to work on
