Wednesday goals 4 dats till ORAMM
Stay green✅
Fruit and vegetables for snacks✅
Win race✅🏁😃👍
Thursday goals 3 days to ORAMM
Well got a email yesterday saying that the blue Ridge Parkway pulled the race permit for Sunday so they had to change the race. It’s now 50 miles down from 60 & has 3000 feet less climbing. I’m really disappointed because my goals for over a year have been to have a certain finish time at the race. Now it’s essentially an entirely different race so don’t really know what to aim for.. goal is less than 5 hrs now. Oh well.
Goals
Stay green
1 hr recovery pace ride on trainer

When I trained for the State time trials, the race was cancelled. I fell into a deep funk. Don't let the "let down" get you down. Focus on kicking *kitten* on a new course. You can push harder with less elevation and distance to cover, who knows what you can do. Give it all you got and be proud of the effort!6 -

- Write sleep article 😁😁😁 Took two hours but have gotten nothing but amazing feedback on it! Everyone was saying that the subject matter was spot on too! I'll include a link below.
- 2 hrs on website 🙃🙃
- Research 2nd article 😁
- 3 5/5 articles 😁
- Post😁
- Research tech companies 😁Did you know that there are more than 200 mental health apps on the Google Play store?
- Check paystub 😁🙃 Matt's manager never put in his sick time for last week so he's missing two full work days worth of pay...Weeeeee
Yesterday was just kind of normal I guess. Matt worked. @Snowflake1968 Aleve has been Matt's saving grace for when he's at work.
Oh! I got an offer to do a guest blog post about bipolar on a health website! Its unpaid but I can use it as a profile piece and get a testimonial for my business site! I'm super excited! I've also been updating my LinkedIn profile too. So if anyone has one please feel free to add me! My full name is Hannah Smith.
Umm... I'm going to start writing my second profile piece in like 20 minutes about the correlation between what we eat and how we feel.
Today I will:
- Up @ 9
- JFT
- Reach out to 3 blogs
- Read 5/5 articles
- 2 hrs on website
- Shower

I didn't know that was a thing, I"m so glad you told me about it. Thank you!1 -
@teigansdad - how disappointing the change in race location would be. I hope you still have a successful race.
@HEGoddard0928 - I need to read your blogs, I have a friend with bipolar and she struggles with sleep issues tremendously I will share with her.

Since the pandemic started, I've had two 10K races converted to virtual events. Those were always my "challenge myself" events. Several 5K races that I enter annually have all been canceled. I can do 5Ks easy, heck, I walk dog farther than that on our daily routes. So I did the virtual 10K races anyway. I also completed one virtual 5K and have registered for another virtual 10K. The event organizers encourage us to post our times / photos online. It gives me something to focus on, and I don't mind having something like that during a worldwide pandemic.
I echo what @pridesabtch said: @teigansdad Don't let the change in course get you down. Focus on the new course & kick *kitten*!3 -
Recap W 7/22 ~ work from home rest of week
1) Walk dog
cloudy, dreary a.m. & dew points going back up but done & happy dog
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (2nd floor to basement) / 5 somethings 14/14 boom!
2) Figure out supper / net cals green / 14c water
-74 & 12c water
3) Organize electronics & papers for work from home rest of week
/ catch up status reports / 10-12 webinar (pace) / progress on GA-IT = 4x
4) 2:00 vet for dog's annual visit / RSVP memorial service / PM SW & set date to call / at least one to-do on list = 4x
5) 9:00 unplug / floss / retainers
/ set 6:30 alarm (walk dog)
JFT R 7/23
1) Walk dog first mile in light drizzle, rest muggy & dreary but happy dog (another walker even said "now that's a happy dog")
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (2nd floor to basement) / 5 somethings
2) Make Hungarian cucumbers / net cals green / 14c water
3) Progress on GA-IT
4) One autobody estimate
/ air in tires (stupid check tire pressure light) / call mom & dad / at least one to-do on list
5) 9:00 unplug / floss / retainers / set 6:30 alarm (walk dog)
Finally went for estimate on the dent & scratch on my car from last week's parking lot incident. Almost $1,800!!! Unbelievable to me, for 2012 Honda Civic no less, which I bought used. I met the woman that hit it, she admits it and I know insurance would pay. But I'm probably going to skip all that, have hubby do his best to repair and just live with it. I really don't care that much, and anyway know I'll get bupkis when I eventually trade it in. Hubby disagrees with me, but says it's my car. At least we got air in tires, and my garage door working again. Seems lately it's always something. Small irritants in the grand scheme of life, so I'll be fine.
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2.1.20 / 2.29.20 / 4.1.20 (forgot 3.31.20) / 5.1.20 (forgot 4.30.20) / 6.3.20 (forgot at ME again)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk (some) & more basement boxes Feb. / basement boxes & home office (some more) Mar. / decluttered/cleaned in bedroom & more basement boxes Apr. / basement boxes May ~ very pleased w/ my progress / reorg in basement June & July2 -

Whaaaat if insurance would pay id deffo get it done!! Or would it have to come out your pocket first before you got reimbursed or whatever?0 -
Ahh I haven't posted goals for 2 days. Just completely forgot! Although both days have been pretty uneventful
In fact yesterday I had to spend almost 5 hours watching a builder put down 3 pieces of skirting board and a door frame. And the idiot didn't even have a mitre block.. duh. I didnt even want to embarrass the guy by offering to use mine. But if I had I'd have neater corners...
Although I'm glad that my housing association fix these things at no cost to us, theyre all like... half-a-job Harry's that come to do the work lol!!
Will have to start again tomorrow with goals! Although I don't know what goals to set really:/2 -

I'm seriously doubting the validity of my scales, I've apparently lost another 6lb?
I mean its hard because I do look slimmer, it just, seems like a lot to lose?
Because on one floor (wood laminate) the scales seem wobbly and on the kitchen floor (lino) its.not wobbly?
That might be because one of the rubber feet came off but its like.. a 2mm pad, i might rip the others off to make it level.
It also keeps saying "Low" every Time i stand on it for low battery, so I'll redo that to..
So er.. don't congratulate me just yet lmfao!4 -

Yesterday was plum exhausting. Got up at 5:00, work from 6 - 9, blood work, Kohls, TJ Maxx, Bank & Mall. Hit the mall at lunch time and had my heart set on pizza, then I thought maybe Chick-fil-A. Then I decided both were a bad choice as were Aunt Annies Pretzels (yummo) so I went home. I ironed s few things for Sierra's photo shoot and puttered around while she got ready. Then make up at 4:00, hair melt down at 4:45 (damn humidity), nails at 5:00. More hair drama, stopped at Sally's and bought a curling iron. Photographer at 6:00. Good Lord fix your hair... Then photos around town. Hair got frizzy again. Pull it up... More photos. Back to the studio, fix hair, more pictures. Really other than the fact that my daughter has naturally curly hair and it was humid as all get out yesterday things were good, but a tad stressful. I think he got some really good shots though. We will have another photo session soon at a local park. Hopefully the weather will cooperate a bit more.
Today I've got nothing planned after work. I've given my body a few days off, I will likely walk/hike today if the rain holds off.
JFT FRIDAYYYYYY
- Weigh in (It's TOM, hard to tell what this will look like)
- If Sierra's foot is still swollen from the bee sting, take her to urgent care to get a steroid shot.
- Meeting from 8:00-12:00 (yawn)
- Nap, I mean walk
- No cookies or candy
- Log everything
- Stay green
Have a rockin' day superstars!6 -
Thursday: all food logged, AND work on Project completed before noon. I don't think I would have done that if I hadn't posted here. And it meant I could move on to other stuff that needed to be done.
Friday: 1) log all food 2) work on Project complete by 11 am 3) vacuum. I may be asking for trouble by adding another thing, but I keep saying I need to vacuum and then not doing it.5 -
Arghhh Caseys Terrible Twos are going awfully!
Shes such a moody cow. There i said it lol!
She screeches and cries at everything!!
Yesterday I only had enough bread for 2 sandwiches, so i made one for Sask and one for Marley and i did me and Casey some left over pizza. So she threw a fit because she saw them 2 eating and it took a good five minutes to get her to come to the oven to actually SHOW her she had pizza because she just kept screaming whilst I was trying to tell her.
She asks for a cup, let's say, the blue cup. I get the cup, make the drink and then out of nowhere its the wrong flippin' cup?!
Sense makes non.
Anyway, cant remember how I stopped Saskia so will have to do some Googling lol!
Shes growing up faaaaast.5 -
and her hairs still crazy, it won't grow evenly and her two parting are just a nightmare lol I've been trying to train her hair to go one way so she has a dominant parting, no luck yet lol!!2

Tonight I will attend a fundraiser that was postponed from March 14 (my very first pandemic cancellation). Excellent cause of no-kill animal shelter, and I had purchased my ticket in January. Lots of changes to this annual event: drive-thru style vouchers instead of samples, online auction already concluded, online raffle winners will be announced live on Facebook, and for those wishing to stay, outdoor live music with social distancing. One of the best things about this event is always the samples of adult beverages & food. Sadly that can't occur, but def better for my weigh-in tomorrow. Was notified I am an auction winner, so get to pick up my prize, and will hear if I win anything in the raffles that I entered online. Hopefully BFF decides to go ~ we haven't seen each other in months!

@Bex953172 - They reset my streak! Thanks so much for that tip. I sort of feel like I cheated the system but I'll take it! I think you need to rip those pads off and make your scale level. We'll see if congratulation are in order after you've done that.
Look at her, she is so sweet! You'll get the tempers straightened out in no time, you're a great Mom.
@cschmitz110515 - 1800.00 is an insane amount, I once had an accident in a parking lot, here in Alberta parking lot accidents are split 50/50 for blame. The other car was 10 or 11 years old, it had just moved his bumper a little bit, but since the bumper was all fibreglass and connected to the fenders they actually wrote his vehicle off as it was going to cost more to fix than the car was worth. It upped my insurance rate for 5 years waiting for that stupid thing. I miss the old cars of our youth that you could fix on your own and didn't cost a fortune.
@pridesabtch - here in Alberta they don't do the grad photos like they did in NB with outdoor ones. They were all at a studio set up at the school, they had formal and casuals and that was it. I missed doing that with my girls, but reading your day yesterday, I have to say I'm sort of glad I didn't have to with my youngest.
I had a good evening last night with Jonah, tonight I switch the Grands out, Jonah will go home and Michaela will come for two nights. She will be much harder than he was, she still demands attention and needs to be kept occupied. He is pretty good at entertaining himself.
In August I am keeping both of them for three nights so their parents can go camping alone. Last night Kaitlyn and I decided that we would spend one of those nights at her house. If the weather is nice we can take the kids to the lake, have a fire in the backyard and she'll help me take care of them. I love them but I find them exhausting after a couple of days.
Well I should do some work!

@Snowflake1968 I'm glad they reset it!
You haven't cheated at all! I'm sure the days you missed you were still doing your goals.
Imagine you ran out of Internet or was on holiday
I'd still be calorie counting (well maybe not on holiday haha) but just because youre not on here doesn't mean you haven't been doing it!2 -
@Snowflake1968 Car park accidents are 50/50?!?!? How does that make any sense?!
So i couldve parked my vehicle properly within the marked lines and then left it there so I'm not even IN the car, and yet its half my fault, for what?! My car being in the way whilst someone crashed Lmao
I'd be so annoyed at that law lol. I wouldn't even pay, I honestly wouldn't. Take the money out my dead lifeless hand lmao1 -

I'll admit it, im having a really bad eating day today.
All ive had is a piece of toast and an egg. Its 6pm.
And now I feel too hungry to even have the energy to make food. So I just gotta wait for Ash to come home with dinner for us and the kids. He did bring me food before but it was disgusting, or atleast I thought it was. So its one of THEM days. Where food doesn't even taste right.
I really hate days like this, I've been trying to brush it off and pretend I'm OK but I'm not really.
I want to start an exercise challenge but how can I do that when i can't even eat enough?
Hopefully feel better tomorrow
Sorry for the miserable post lol..3
