    @PackerFanInGB thank you! I am so nervous, there are so many things that can go wrong along the way 😭😆

    Hugs to all of you!

    Yesterday my husband saw the house and he liked it too, so we decided to make an offer. We should know hopefully today, tomorrow at the latest, the seller's response. I am so nervous I need to calm down! Lol!

    Yesterday 5/29:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal😞 I was well on the way to, but in my head I grossly underestimated the calories in a couple cookies I ate and didn't log them until after it was too late.. Ugh
    3. Go for a walk at lunch😁
    4. Finish work at 5:15😁
    5. Workout after work😁
    6. Get prescription refilled😞 totally forgot with all the house stuff

    JFT 5/30:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁

    Hi @bex953172 - good to see you. And jealous of your squeezes from @maryrobinson40 - where’s mine?! Lol.

    Actually I don’t think it’s safe to squeeze me. In the cold light of day these falling injuries are not so pretty. @MLHC1 - you were right!

    My left knee is pretty banged up and currently the size of a snooker ball. So sore! Have a support on it and trying to keep it moving but any exercise is out of the question for now as even walking hurts.

    Wednesday goals recap:
    - morning run ✅
    - Vet at 10:40 ✅
    - call TV repair people ✅
    - gardening - mow lawn, cut back bushes, sweep back patio and front steps ❎ rain + injury = no!
    - drop P to play date at 2pm ✅
    - eyebrows and tanning ✅
    - bed by 9:30 ❎ delayed by hot bath to soak injuries

    Thursday goals:
    - rest day! ✅
    - Help P with homework ✅
    - P to play date 9:30 ✅
    - Cafe and card shop with L ✅ slow walk there, bus back!
    - Pick up P at 1/1:30
    - Park to meet new baby at 3
    - Bed by 9:30

    Have a nice day everyone x

    PT went well yesterday. The therapist said that I way ahead of most and that I'd be getting full extension. Wasn't as grueling as everyone said. I probably did too much as we met our daughter for lunch afterwards and then I got my nail polish changed at a salon for my girls weekend. Given m energy level I'll be a couch potato this weekend but it'll be wonderful to gather with close women friends.

    Since cooking, eating and drinking is a central focus of our weekends together, I'll be realistic about my goals. I plan on enjoying everything but be modest about portions and focus on whole foods and stay away from chips, bread, deserts AND that last glass of wine. I'm bringing lots of flavored sparkling water to enjoy.

    JFT 5/30/19
    Break even on the calories track at 1500
    Enjoy today's drive south

    Thursday JFT:

    ▪Pack work lunches
    ▪Breakfast
    ▪Maintain baby's daily schedule
    ▪Log Food / Stay under calorie limit
    ▪Devotional Time
    ▪Laundry / cleaning
    ▪Organize garage & prepare for move
    ▪Lunch
    ▪Exercise (x2 DVD)
    ▪Dinner
    ▪Evening schedule

    Well I'm starting the day with a bit of weight gain (0.6 lbs). I'm hoping that it is just from muscle gain. 🙃 Moving day is approaching so today will be focused on preparing for that. I'm hoping that the little one has a better day today.

    @Faebert I'm sorry you are feeling the pain from yesterday's fall. Hang in there, it is important to let your body recover before hittin' it hard again. Soaking in aromatherapy salts (or even Epsom salt) will help your sore muscles. I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you. 🌻

    @Bex953172 👋🤩 Try to focus on the positive. I know how tough it can be but it'll help.

    Stay strong today ladies!! 😎

    JFT 5/30

    30 minutes movement/exercise
    Do not eat any more donuts! :D (I'm at an open house and already ate one!)
    Give myself lots of space today-I'm feeling a little anxious
    Meditate 5 minutes
    Drink water
    Get through the effing day with a smile on your face and fall apart later


    That's about all I can handle today. I am flat out busy, my Dad just announced he's visiting next week and he really really stresses me out, it's my husbands birthday so we are having family over this evening to celebrate and I'm just a ball of anxiety and stress right now. Also, sitting in front of a bunch of really delicious donuts. Why I have anxiety right now I don't know. I just got back from a fun relaxing vacation only a few weeks ago and already I feel the need for another one. :D I think I need a day off from all responsibilities. Saturday I have plans with a friend to go see Booksmart so I am really looking forward to that. I hope everyone struggling today finds some peace and I hope thse of you out there kicking *kitten* and taking names today know how just bad *kitten* you are!

    Today started out great (dog walked, 2 loads of laundry on the line before work), then Asst. Manager pulls her usual stunt of ripping my work, so now I have to spend the day doing a redo. Thing is, my work is the most professional in the entire dept. and no different than anyone else's, but she has a bug up her *kitten* about me and always tries to find a way to criticize me (not in a helpful way). Anyway, I will do as instructed (HUGE waste of time) and revise/reprint up to 110 summary pages. I will not let this ruin my day. On to my goals...

    Recap 5/29 W
    1) Walked dog before work 3.41 mi 1:00:40 & saw 12 turkeys in usual area / stretched after = happy dog & happy me B)
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 14,836 steps / 250+ 14/14 boom! & 44 floors :smiley:
    3) Meals & snacks already prelogged (win) & have some wiggle room ~ love exercise calories! No snacks after supper / net calories zero / 14c water = Had healthy snack prior to supper & nothing after (yay). Net cals green 14 :smiley: , sodium -912, sugar -11, fiber & protein excellent & 14c water
    4) To-do's: re-reschedule HRA :smile: / schedule massage :smile: : / update budget s/s / review Frontier catalog & order? :smile: / bank for farmers market cash (vendors love that I pay with small bills) :smile: / mail belated bday card :smile: / try on new pants (keep or return?) :smile: keep / other? maybe sort laundry for R? :smile: even loaded washer with first load & soap so I could turn on as soon as I got up
    5) Unplug 9:00 :smile: / floss :smiley: didn't want to but thought of this list / retainers :smiley: ditto / set/verify 5:40 alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 (walk dog before work R) :smiley:

    JFT 5/30 R
    1) Walked dog 3.48 mi 1:03:01 & heard turkeys, saw ducks flying = happy dog & happy me B)
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings

    Oh man. Car went to mechanic yesterday and came back with bad diagnosis, transfer case failing. Had to bring it to dealership and pay them $135 to tell me what I already know, so that I can deal with nissan corporate to hope and pray they cover it under warranty that I'm juuuuuust over of course. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 months ago!!! I'm so upset. I have to rent a car since its our only vehicle. Timing is terrible with the wedding and the land purchase. I guess theres no good time for it. Waiting to hear back from the dealership still. So needless to say yesterday I stress ate - we went to the grocery store and just orderd from the grille there. Thank you all for your kind words about my dress, I'm holding on to that joy for now!
