I can’t even begin to describe how incredible it felt at our photo session today, the Grands were awesome! The location was wonderful and I feel like a child waiting for Santa now to see the results.
I have given a lot of thought trying to figure out how to have a conversation with Rodg. I think one of our biggest issues is how we each deal with stress. I tend to want to cling and feel closer to him, look for more assurances than normal and he tends to withdraw into himself. This doesn’t work well together. You would think after almost 32 years of married life we would have this figured out. This is one of the issues, not the only but I think I’m going to put it aside for right now, realize I may have been overreacting a bit last night and not throw all of our progress over the last year away.
I’ll catch up on posts tomorrow.5 -
Sending you love and strength @snowflake19681

Yesterday has to go down as one of the least restful ‘rest days’ in history! My own fault, I get carried away sometimes... having spent Saturday clearing the garden and jet-washing all the paving, I decided that the walls in the back garden could really do with painting. Before the girls were even awake I started painting the back garden. They got excited and wanted to help so we decided to do the front - changing the colour from a kind of grey to white so quite a lot of work. Luckily I had enough masonry paint but I think all in it was about 4 hours’ work! Then jog to cafe for a snack then headed to my parents for lunch then home to do the rest of my to-do list!! Can’t quite believe I got it all done but the house looks good inside and out and I feel mentally great, if physically a bit wrecked ( left my Garmin to calculate calories burned and I got over 1200 active calories - way more than a workout!). Have the school end of term/baby shower for colleague party here on Thursday and I feel more ready now.
Sunday goals recap:
- rest day (watch the calories!) ✅
- finish laundry, fold and put away ✅
- finish downstairs cleaning, vacuum and mop ✅
- clean outdoor chair cushions ✅
- tie up outdoor umbrella so it’s secure ✅
- cut brownies, package them up prettily for Mother’s Day gift, write card ✅
- walk/jog up to the Heath with the kids for breakfast (them) and coffee (me) ✅ too cold and out of time for the Heath but we had a little jog down to a cafe instead
- head to parents place ✅
- girls finish homework on return ✅
- pack schoolbags etc ✅
- bed by 9:30pm ✅
Plus painting!!
Monday goals:
- morning workout (this is going to hurt)
- Buy baby shower tableware and decs ✅
- Pack snacks inc veggies for work
- Email pupil progress doc
- Home lunchtime for car and shake

Good day yesterday. Focused on taking care of a lot of small things. Got in over 5 miles of walking altogether. Did 45 minutes on treadmill before church. In the afternoon had a couple of bills that needed mailed so instead of waiting and driving by mail box, I walked to the one that is a couple of blocks from house--that got me over the 10,000 step mark.
Weekly weigh in has me down .6 this week. That is 4 pounds since getting back to logging on March 7.

Hi everyone, apologies for disappearing for a while. I'm still trying to get used to son being at home again and my eating just went haywire. Not his fault, it was my choice to eat!
I was away from home for 3 days for work (and a little bit of pleasure) and was quite pleased with my eating there. Was at the seaside for 3 days and DID NOT have fish and chips That's quite a big change for me.
My clothes are getting uncomfortably tight, and I don't have any larger ones (have lots the next size down!) so I really need to focus on this.
JFT 1st April
Eat sensibly
Do back exercises
Housework
Pay bills
Plan evening meal4 -
We had a busy weekend so I haven't logged, but had a pretty good two days with lots of physical activities and I have been eating well until last night when we decided to go to visit my parents.
Spontaneous decision to travel and long drive triggered snacking habits and we ate a lot of junk food. I was mad at myself because I just had a great few days before that mindless eating.
Now I am trying to regain control I had a few days ago.
Today will be challenging since I have a potentially awkward social meeting, plus a lot of work to finish by tomorrow.
So, I'll make today's goal very small:
- not snack after lunch
- not eat after dinner

Good morning! Vacation-ish week is officially over, boooo. But, that means it will be much easier to stick to my goals. The last two weekly averages were just about maintenance, so it's time to get back at it.
I have to hurry my butt up and get ready but I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
Yesterday 3/31:
1. Stay within calorie goal😞 sister in law made chicken and waffles and there was no way I was missing out on this lol
2. Get a minimum of 4,000 steps😞
3. Put away some laundry😞
4. Wash a load of laundry😞 my husband is off for a few days so he said he would help with this and I'm so thankful 💖💖
JFT 4/1:
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Go for a walk at lunch
3. Finish work at 5:15
4. Go grocery shopping
5. Cook dinner
