Left the house shortly after lunch yesterday and didn't get home until wee hours of the morning. Dinner was provided at the event. Tried to be careful ... barely squeaked thru just under daily limit. Whew!! Need to buckle down, get eating and exercise back on track ... still want to try to make my July mini goal.
I've somehow lost my mental focus. So I've spent this morning researching "losing focus" ... "staying focused" ... "regaining focus" ... and how focus differs from motivation. Between now and the end of July, I plan to restructure my goals and, hopefully, develop a couple of tools to help stay focused and motivated.
If you have any tips on maintaining focus, I'd appreciate hearing them.
Have a great day Y'All!! 🌞1 -
Whenever I start to feel myself losing motivation, I read all of the posts on this site...I always learn something new!...I also have sticky notes with inspirational quotes inside my kitchen cabinets....if that doesn’t work, I think about how miserable I was 90 lbs ago....hang in there!0

Thanks Connie. I also use sticky notes. Mine are positive affirmations that I post on my bathroom mirror. It's a good way for me to start my day since that's the first place I head after getting out of bed. May need to write a couple of new ones! I have visited the Success Stories segment to read their success stories and view the pictures. I just haven't been able to be on the last 2-3 weeks and I think that's part of why I lost my MOJO.

Break down the boxes that had books in them

Stretch more. Like between every task. Maybe that will get the muscle knot in your right thigh to loosen.
If she's up to it, take Girlfriend to the YMCA to sign up for a membership.1 -

Tonight we are having char sui (Chinese barbecued pork) with hot mustard sauce, fried rice (which I'll do with cauliflower rice for my boyfriend), egg rolls, and crab rangoon for dinner.
Tomorrow night is pizza for Girlfriend and I, and Boyfriend is having baked cod with creamed spinach.2 -

Have a huge ham steak to cook for supper tonight. Found a recipe for mandarin orange glazed baked ham steak so will be trying that ... hope it tastes as good as it sounds!! THIS WAS AMAZING!! -- I had a single-serving jar of orange marmalade jam that I added for a bit of extra sweetness over the orange tartness.
Tonight's ham steak will be pan fried with a glaze of maple syrup, apple cider, and mustard.

Fold and put away the laundry in the dryer
Do a load of towels
Do a load of whites
Hang things up in the upstairs bathroom. (Organizer, towel ring, hook board, and art.)
Check to see if you need to do any precooking for next week (I think I need a batch of rolls, but I'm not sure.)
Continue trying to find the labelmaker so you can number the pile of new books and integrate them into the library. The pile is growing. Indeed, it is to the point that I vetoed a trip to the used book store.
Hang new shower rod in downstairs bathroom.
I think that's ambitious enough for one day.
