It is one of those things we take for granted that is absolutely horrible to go without! I'm sorry you are having issues at work! Deep breaths... I'm sending you cyber hugs! I'm so happy to see you on here, by the way! I was missing you and hoping you were okay!
And of course, about 5 minutes after I hit post I stick my hand under the water and it starts to burn! Miraculously we have hot water!!! Not sure how long it's going to last but I'll take it! And next Saturday we're getting a new hot water heater installed so hopefully it'll last until then!!1 -

- Journal every bite
I even measured out 1/2 cup of ice cream and fit it in my calories! Yea! - Drink 3 large blue stainless steel bottles of water
Only got through one. It holds 25 oz. I wish I could count coffee as water....I'd hit my goal every single day! - Eat only while sitting down
- Make mindful choices - 90 g of protein / <29g added sugar Nope. But by setting these goals, I was much more mindful of my choices!
- Do at least 4 items on weekend to-do list
- 30 minutes activity - inside because it is like -4,000 degrees today.
Maybe Body Groove dancing or Wii I ended up sewing most of the afternoon and FINISHING BEX'S CASEY's QUILT! LOL! - Tackle anxiety by redirecting thoughts. Cannot control some things. Pray and turn them over. I have really found the Joyce Meyer podcasts to be helpful with this.
- Gratitude Journal I really need to by a new notebook to do this in! I keep forgetting! I miss this./ Simple Abundance or other book by same author / Calm meditation / read Had a headache in the evening and couldn't really get myself to read. Listened to podcasts and surfed Pinterest a bit.
- Get up early tomorrow and try a new church
This would be a great big no. Slept until 10 a.m. Everytime I tried to get up, my head pounded so I stayed in bed until the headache passed. Stupid concussion is still affecting me with headaches. I would have never guessed I'd still be having problems this far out. It's ridicuous.
Today we got dumped on with more snow and it is going to continue to fall throughout the day. So, my sweetiepie husband offered to drive me around so I could go clothes shopping for our trip. (I know he thinks I'm helpless, but seriously I've been driving in winter in Wisconsin for over 40 years...I'm pretty sure I could handle it. But how sweet is that?) So, I'm taking him up on it. He can drop me off at the door and I won't have to come out and scrape windows or anything. Plus it gets him out of the house and we can chit chat in the car.
I'm getting very excited about going to see my dad in Arizona! I'm especially excited to see Sedona, AZ! Get into some weather that does not include snow, although it is unusually chilly there this year. I don't care. It's still going to be 100 degrees warmer than it was here a week or two ago!!!
My husband has been down in the basement shredding boxes and boxes of paperwork he has kept for a hundred years! I'm so glad to have him on the declutter train with me! We can finally get through some of the boxes of crap down there and make much more livable space! Since we moved to town and downsized, I've struggled with feeling boxed in. We used to live in the country in the middle of 3 acres of woods, surrounded by 40 more acres of woods, with no neighbors Now I live on a city block surrounded on all sides with houses and less square footage. I know it sounds like I'm complaining, but I'm really not trying to. Just trying to explain why I feel the need to declutter and get some space around me again. There are many nice things about living in town with all the conveniences nearby! Our neighborhood is quiet with nice people. We have bird feeders and bird bath with lots of birds, bunnies and squirrels to watch. An owl I hear when I walk at night. So, yes, I'm grateful for my home, but I'd love to declutter and fix up the basement into my own quiet space!
Well, enough chit chat! I'd better get busy with goals...

Yesterday was pretty good all things considered. I had an hour at home between events and was able to grab a quick meal. Then I waited until I got home from event 2 to have dinner. Choices were okay and at the end of the day, even without exercise, I had room in the budget for 1 22 calorie Hershey Kiss.
JFT Saturday 2/10
- Breakfast before kiddos rowing event. - total fail
- Lunch under 500 cal - call it brunch it’s ok
- Laundry
- Floors

I’ll be honest, I’m not feeling it today. I care, but I don’t. I know I should exercise, I I typically love to exercise. I just don’t want to do it. How do you get past days like these?2 -

TODAY...
This morning around 5, I was greeted with a "prayer word";
at least that's what I call it. When someone who has been
saying prayers for you and a particular revelation comes to
them about you that goes along with what you've been going
through. But you haven't talked to that person. You only asked
them to pray for you. When they report back to you they have
what you need, or need to do. Anyway... I received it and a calm
came over me that caused me to fall back to sleep. When I awakened,
it was 10:30. I got up and freshened up, had a conference call from
11 - 1:00. Washed my hands drank some water., turned on Sound-
scapes.. Beach sounds. Read my Bible. Talked to my separated husband.
Lol…. And believe it or not I asked him when was he coming back
to me...his reply was " SOME DAY"... I told him NO. He's had 9 years
worth of "some days"... I told him he should stop being stubborn.
I asked him a question. Don't you need me? I asked this because when
He gets sick, he calls on me, when he needs paperwork or other things
done, he calls me. His answer to me was..for some things. I said I know
for some things, then he quickly said it's the other way around, you
need me.
It made my breath catch in my throat... I'm not going to blame him,
I'm not going to put him down.
I DID THIS... How did I do this? By continuing to be there for him
when it was clear that we were through. Some people you have to
sever ties with no matter how connected you've been. We don't let
go completely because of a lot of reasons.
1- Love still being there
2- Fear
3- Not wanting to be alone
4- Time invested and you don't want to look or feel like a loser and that
ties into... 5- PRIDE
Anyway... I'm seeing things differently right now... But I mustn't act
or react from my emotions.4 -

Where did the weekend go?

mytime6630 wrote: »Today was a busy day ... but I did much better. Trying to not worry about things that are out of my control.
We had a lot of "decluttering" to do . Got rid of our piano .. as hubby bought a keyboard instead. We've had this piano almost 50 years ... and our kids took piano lessons on it , so it was hard to get rid of. Our daughter wanted it, but she lives in a 2nd floor apartment with stairs, and we figured at some point she will probably be moving back with us. She doesn't really even play it anymore. So the movers that picked it up promised they would find a good home for the piano... so I am hoping it goes to someone that can really enjoy it. But as a result ... we are getting rid of a lot of stuff (well, hubby is that is!).
I did have pizza tonite, but other than a light lunch I think I am OK. Hoping tomorrow to have time to get to the gym
JFt, Sun
1. GO TO THE GYM ... no matter what!
2. go to the groc store .. stock up on veggies
3. log all food
4. concentrate on water
5. mindful eating
6. remember ... I cannot control many things, but I can control how I choose to handle things. Food is not the answer
And what this ... @Bex ... you are moving???? I need to go back and read through about 5 pages to see what I missed I guess!!!!
Yes! I got a house! Expected move in date is the 10th March, it all went a bit crazy again because we made a mistake again but help came in the shape of my MIL!
OMG!! This just made my day!!!! SO happy for you!!1 -
I know! I cant wait! We'll have our own garden back AND front!, saskia will have her own room and the other two will share the other room, we'll even have a dining room, a hall and maybe even a driveway AND utility room!!
Were right near a massive playing field with a park and the schools are the 2 best in the area, and a 5 min walk each way!2 -

The Grands just left and I am exhausted! It was a busy long day. I'll catch up later3 -
Maryrobinson40- I think there is a shift for people to start leaving their phones and such off and reconnecting. I need to start doing that more. So happy you enjoyed it. Hugs for the conversation with your ex. I pray you find the answers you need.
Bex953172 - my daughter watches tv with subtitles on for the same reason! Love the arrow meme.
Littleblackskirt- there are days that I count myself successful as long as it says I’ll weigh the in 5 weeks. It’s a balancing act. Today may be one of those days.
Clicketykeys -my daughter just went through books last week she was a little undecided on how to go about them too. One episode of Tidying Up dealt with books, but not s lot. I told my daughter when we downsized and we had to make a serious decision. I chose to keep books that I knew I would reread and my favourite authors. We went from 6 fully packed bookshelves to 1. I got rid of all reference books as most of them were outdated anyway. Last week my daughter went from 340 books to 160. She did not count about 50 Nancy Drew books we bought her a couple years ago for Christmas.
Hegoddard0928 - I grew up with no hot water, I empathize with you. We bathed at our grandmothers who lived next door. My mother boiled water s thousand times a day to do dishes and all of our clothes were only ever washed in cold water, even when she still had a wringer washer and had to put her hands in the cold water in the washer and then in the rinse tub to take them outside to hang. You would think I was 90 saying this, but it was only the 80’s! Sorry to hear you are on probation at work I hope you can get that corrected fast. I’ve been thinking of you, I’m happy to see your post.
PAckerfaninGB - I see some people do count tea as water if they don’t put anything in it. Will that work for coffee? I had a concussion in grade 6 that was 3rd degree. I suffered for probably a year from headaches.
Nlmackey98- good job for getting through without hitting the fast food joints! I have no answer for the days o don’t feel like exercising except sometimes I just don’t want to have to come hers the next day to say I didn’t. Other days I really don’t care and just don’t do it. I know that’s the wrong attitude but at least it’s honest.
I am so thankful that is the last sleepover for a while. I love my Grands like crazy, but man they are tiring. Michaela is being the sassy, stubborn, defiant typical three year old and it is not pleasant when Rodger is here. I deal on my own with her better. I hope this phase ends very fast.
They did not sleep well last night and neither did I. I am ready for a long soak in a hot tub and then settle in to relax.
I talked to my brother for an hour today, I really need to call more often. I love our chats. He turned 46 today.
I am going to go bath now, I’ll check in tomorrow.3 -
I just had this whole post typed out but the app failed and kicked me out🤬😡HEGoddard0928 wrote: »I'm alive! I promise! Life's gotten rough the last few weeks. The short version is ...no hot water for a week. In fact still waiting for my hot water heater to be replaced...put on probation at work...been totally aggravated for the last like 2 weeks...oh and I screwed up a transaction at work on Friday that totally screwed my entire drawer up...passbooks are the DEVIL!!!! So I've been totally eating my feelings and we've been eating a crap ton of takeout because I havent been able to do the dishes or anything because I refuse to stick my hands in cold water to wash the dishes. My Dad feels guilty because the whole thing is kind of his fault so I put a load of dirty dishes into his sink to soak and then left them there for about 24 hours and he cleaned them all. Lol. I did it on purpose knowing that he would do them because he feels bad. We're luck that they live so close because we've been taking showers at their house. So my weight is up a WHOLE bunch. I know some of it is all water retention because we had chinese food for dinner last night. But it is seriously depressing seeing that number on the scale. I'm 6 pounds away from where I was when I started this journey 2 years ago
While Matt is over here dropping weight like crazy because he's back at work. He dropped 13 pounds in a week and a half because he spends 6-8 hours a day walking around now. It's seriously not fair! But I am bound and determined to get this weight off! As soon as the new water heater is installed I can actually start cooking like a human being again!
I went food shopping yesterday and picked up a lot of healthy, yummy food so that today I can meal prep. I'm going to cut up fruit and veggies so that I can portion them out and add them to my and Matt's lunch bags.
Okay so I guess I should do some goals right? Lol

Late in the day for JFT but posting for my own accountability...
Recap 2/8 F ~ Have worked out 6 days in a row (counting my lunch walk inside Th) & taking rest day
since Seroogy's Valentine 5K is Sat. 8 a.m.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 9,127 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 35 floors
2) Meals (more leftovers) prelogged / net calories w/i 200 zero / 14c water = Ack! Portion too much plus Snickers fun size bars. Net calories -568 , sodium -1,095 (yikes), sugar -12 , fiber & protein good, 12c water ok
3) Evening: pick up race packet
/ make spaghetti for leftover sauce / prep clothes, hand/foot warmers for Sat. 5K & check forecast ~ it will be cold, not sure of wind chill = warmers ready, multiple layers ready, tech gloves & mittens, hat & fleece hood scarf, boots ready, bib on coat
4) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS REALLY / RETAINERS REALLY / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 (leave home 7:15 a.m.)
Recap Sat. 2/9 ~ Arrived in usual parking lot for 5K, very few cars in lower lot, and knew many people were not participating this year... understandable b/c temp -7F (-21C) at start and -1F (-18C) at end, not counting wind chill. But I was prepared and so were others. Course was ok where roads had been treated, but mile 2 was mostly packed snow on top of ice, so I went slower. Still enjoyed getting outside to walk, have cabin fever lately. Enjoyed hot chocolate at the finish & saved the chocolate meltaway bar for another time (race sponsor is chocolatier). After, had to let my glasses defrost indoors at nearby store in order to see when I drove home. Glad I went.
1) Chip time 48:34:89 and average pace 15:28 ~ not < 45 min. I usually aim for in 5K but considering the conditions, I was happy to be under 50:00.
2) Relaxing day at home afterward, even napped in the afternoon. Leftover navy bean soup for lunch. Hubby made my day by acknowledging that I've been cooking a lot lately, so why don't we go out for supper. Of course! Nothing fancy, breakfast for dinner at Denny's and I ordered a favorite: double berry banana pancake breakfast. Ate every bite and enjoyed! Logged best I could. Net calories -325, sodium -1,285, sugar -8, fiber good, protein low, 14c water (yay)
Recap Sun. 2/10 ~ snowing all day, hubby snowblowed late afternoon but will need to again
1) Bible class & church
2) gas in car
3) x-trained [weights / circuit]
4) penne sausage bake for supper / net calories zero / 12c water
5) floss / retainers / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:20
JF M 2/11
1) Shovel snow if necessary otherwise treadmill before work
2) Dentist 8:40 / staff meeting 10:00
3) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
4) Evening: Schwan's delivery / boil eggs / declutter 15 min. / other to-do's?
5) Unplug 9:00 / retainers / set/verify alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 (another snowstorm predicted T)1 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.

JFT - Friday
Log all my food on MFP and stay under my calorie goal - This may be hard one as I’m planning on having a high calorie meal tonight so trying to eat super low calorie foods all day so I have enough. ✅ Managed to stay under and REALLY enjoyed my tea!!
Longer dog walk than normal - 30 mins?✅ So I didn't end up taking the dog on a longer walk but I did end up taking the horse for a 45-minute walk instead
I had a really good busy weekend. Was out shopping with my mum on Saturday, we stopped off for lunch somewhere and I managed to successfully track my food. Stayed under my calorie goal for Saturday.
Sunday we went to visit my partner’s family. His mum has put loads of food on so I tried to track my calories as best as I could, but it really isn’t accurate for Sunday. I just grazed from 12pm till 5pm ha!
JFT – Monday
Log all my food on MFP and stay under my calorie goal.
Eat veg at lunch and tea time.
