    Soooo.... I came on here earlier and read back a few pages. Y'all are amazing. I didn't even know what to write. I feel so lost and unworthy. I feel like all I do is whine on here. I'm really not a negative person, I'm just a bit of a mess lately. Of course I'm trying to fix it with food, mostly junk food. I see me doing it. As I do it I tell myself I shouldn't, but I still do. Guilt is a b!tch. My once healthy lifestyle has seemingly disappeared. My morning has been awful food wise. Maybe if I write stuff down I'll get my $h!t together.

    Goals for part 2 of Wednesday

    - Do a mini mock up of a PPE matrix for the lab & submit for approval. I'd rather get input before putting more time into this.
    - No more junk today!
    - Leave work early to go to the therapist with hubby. My appointment is a ways away, but he feels I could benefit from talking. Down side is that I know his therapist and one of the receptionists is someone I'd rather not know I'm cra-cra. Oh well.
    - Met Michael at the church at 5 to loan out some tables & chairs for the crew picnic tomorrow.
    - Maybe go to church tonight. Maybe go home and sloth about.
    - Wash delicate laundry
    - No alcohol
    - Bed by 11:00

    Positive thought: My aunt and I are working on my father's estate together. It's much easier this way. No arguments, no jealousy, just splitting duties and getting things taken care of.

    We all think YOU are amazing! You have so much going on in your life as well, and dealing with your fathers estate alone is emotionally draining. I know when I am having a hard time emotionally, it is just way too hard to concentrate on other things ... hence ... our comfort of food is what we turn to. But please, give yourself lots of credit. You are doing amazing!

    I have not been keeping up with all the posts, so I probably don't even know all that has been going on... but what I do know is you are a very strong woman, with a lot on your plate. So give yourself that pat on the back .... know you are doing all you can to stay above water. Big hugs <3

    I agree with Faebert, please don't be so harsh on yourself...I think it's always hard to lose a parent, even harder when the relationship wasn't as you wanted it to be. I don't know much of your story, but what I've read lately sounds like you had a really hard setup to begin with, in the middle of him and your mum. I admire you being able to keep that relationship going on despite all negative reactions from your mum.
    It's very hard to influence the relationship from the child's position. I would say that I have a great relationship with my parents, and they do with each other, and yet, it seems impossible to change their behavior for a tiny bit no matter how much I try. So, please don't blame yourself for what you think you could have done..if you could have you would have done it. He was lucky to have you in his life.
    I am very sorry for your loss.

    @Faebert
    You wrote a couple of pages back that you feel a bit worried about dealing with post-op restrictions and going back to the non-fit state...I am sorry you need to go through that procedure...I just wanted you to know that you are a huge inspiration to me (and I believe to others as well). Every time I read some of your posts I think to myself - this is where I want to be in a year or two from now.
    I am sure you'll bounce back very quickly because this fear means that you care...and you sound like a person who takes very seriously things she cares about. Also, we'll all be here cheering up for you during recovery.

    @PackerFanInGB here are some photos of farmers market buys. You're right, not a lot of produce yet, but plenty of asparagus, rhubarb, green onions, spring mix (salad greens), greenhouse tomatoes, eggs, SuzyQ fish, among my favorites. Our 2 rain barrels were purchased at different times. One came from Sam's Club, maybe the other from Home Depot.

    Thank you!!! I love your idea of buying the herbs to grow also. I've wanted to do that but since I'm not much of a cook, I figured I wouldn't know how to use them anyway. Maybe I'll try that this year too. Asparagus is one of my favorites and I'm pretty sure my husband wouldn't turn away a rhubarb pie either. LOL Tonight is the beginning of the Wednesday night Farmer's Market, isn't it? I won't be able to go tonight but am so happy the season has begun!

    I think I'll check out Home Depot for the rain barrel. We go there for a lot of yard items. :)

    Thanks again! YEA SPRING! C'MON SUMMER! :flowerforyou:

    @nlmackey I agree with @Faebert , @daneejela and @mytime6630 ! You are awesome, and you have inspired me many times. I'm also sorry for your loss. I have been the one between my mom and dad since they divorced and they can make it tough sometimes. (((HUGS)))

    I agree with @daneejela. @Faebert , you inspire me on a daily basis. Heck, just seeing your profile pic is inspiring. I'm sorry also that you are going through the procedure. Is it coming soon? I think I must have missed that post, but I know you were talking about it awhile back. I have no doubt that you will come back from it and kick *kitten*! Are you feeling any better this afternoon since your fall this morning?

    Had a weak moment in the grocery store, and picked up 6 homemade cookies. And .. proceeded to eat every one of them. Why do I do this! :s I guess its because I have not had a cookie for such a long time ... but I should have just waited, gone back home without the cookies.

    I’m so glad to know you’ve been reading. That means you haven’t left for good! You take all the time you need, my friend. You know where to find us! (Plus you have my email address if you need to get in touch with me too! ❤️).

    Log accurately :)
    60 minutes intentional walking :)
    Productive work day :)
    Enjoy evening with family :)

    Evening with family had rocky start. SIL who was hosting asked if I would bring salad she likes. I had told her it would be close to 6, she said that would be great. Rush to get there-they ate an hour before (she does stuff like that, I should not be surprised). I vented to one person, who also agreed the timing of what she did was pretty messed up. I calmed down, ate a bit (food was not that good, so glad I made salad). Positive side, since food wasn't that good, easy to stay within calories-so much so I had a cupcake in celebration of another SIL birthday.

    @PackerFanInGB -I am fortunate that I can retire anytime I want to-makes going to work much easier!

    ✔▪Breakfast
    ✔▪Maintain baby's daily schedule
    ✅▪Log Food / Stay under calorie limit➡️ate back some of my exercise calories which I'm trying to avoid but I'm still technically in the green

    ✔▪Laundry / cleaning
    ✔✔▪Organize garage & prepare for move
    ✔✔▪Grocery Shop➡️Costco,WM
    ✔▪Lunch
    ✔▪Exercise (x1 DVD)➡️completed even with baby throwing his tantrum 🤪
    ✔▪Take hubby dinner bc he will be working late at his jobsite
    ✔▪Dinner
    ✔▪Evening schedule

    Tough day. Little one's teething was terrible today!! My hubby wasn't very positive today and the other kiddos misbehaved as well. Overall it was an overwhelming day but instead of allowing depression to take over, I put my tennis shoes on and popped in my exercise video. I enjoyed a little bit of time with my hubby at his jobsite while he ate. Now it's time to call it a day!!

    You ladies keep hanging in there!! Remember it IS JUST FOR TODAY for a reason!! One day at a time!! Just keep being honest with yourself and start fresh again tomorrow!!

    @Faebert I hope you get some rest and recover from falling this morning. Usually it takes about 48-72 hours for the swelling and soreness to subside. So if you wake up tomorrow more sore than today, just allow yourself another day of rest (maybe plan a nice aromatherapy bath). Hope you feel better soon. 😎
