PS: I could not trust myself with Malteser tiffin in the house.
I think the lack of the usual structure in our lives at the moment gets to us all from time to time. It’s human. We are creatures of habit.
And it seems to have been going on for so long. Take the little moments and try not to beat yourselves up about the rest.2 -
@pridesabtch I’m pleased to see you posting again. I hope your new medication works for you. Sending you hugs1

I’m not at all sure that the scales are trustworthy - apparently I weighed less after breakfast! I’ll trust happy scale to iron out their idiosyncrasies.3 -

Last night after church & changed clothes, I sat on couch for what I intended to be a moment before ready to work on cards. Kitty immediately jumped into my lap, purring, and settled in. No cards done, or anything after that. At least I cleared some of DVR backlog. LOL
This a.m. have new laptop connected to home WiFi but had issues with VPN & dual authentication. Several calls to Help Desk later, restart of phone & laptop, adding drives, and everything is working. Now I have access to G & H drives, and I even figured out how to disable touchpad when mouse is activated. One step at a time for this non-techie. Also ecstatic we no longer have to send daily update emails to manager when working at home. Still have to summarize, but on s/s already being submitted weekly. Yay.

WOTY 2020: Persistence
Haha you know over here, it's called TK Max rather than TJ lol!1 -
I have not been on here all week I think! Like so many of you, I am really struggling now, not only with weight management, but feeling down and just not with it. This time of year I always struggle .. this year is worse than most.
They moved my SIL to a hospice house over the weekend, so it is just a matter of a few days. All this is so very hard to believe, because she was always so healthy. Both of her parents lived well into their 90s, so it just never crossed our minds that at 76 she would be gone. Yes, to some 76 is a good age .. but that is only 5 years more for me. And to me, 76 is still young (well, not old LOL). And it was so quick .. to not even know she was sick, then find out she herself was only given 4 months.
We did talk to our son for about a hour, so that made me feel better. I was starting to worry about him as well. You know .. its like you start worrying about one thing, then everything!
So today I am going to work hard at eating extra healthy, and trying to stay positive. I will write out just a few Christmas cards. We are going very light with Christmas gifts.. sending the grandkids money instead of a lot of gifts, and that is done. I talked to hubby, and Christmas Eve and Christmas day he is OK with at least letting our daughter come in our patio room. It will be cold, but I will turn on the heater, and I have a little Christmas tree out there. So I'm sure her visit will be short, but at least she does not have to be alone in her apartment. Oh .. the vacine just can't get here soon enough!
So goals for today are simple
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. work at remembering all the good christmas'es I have had through the years .. don't think of what we have lost, but what we had
4. remember how my decision today affects how I will feel tomorrow. Make good decisions
@pridesabtch -- I am so happy to see you back posting. This time of year, we have to be kind to ourselves. It is so hard for everyone to stay upbeat during these crazy times, and I know for me, the holidays have always been hard. But I am so proud of you for coming back and posting .. and making small goals. Even a goal like brushing your teeth is a huge step. Hugs to you dear friend .. you are not alone.
I will try and go back and read all I have missed .. but luv you all. I think this thread is such a caring group of "friends".4 -

@mytime6630 I'm sorry about your SIL. I get what you mean about age, the older we get, the more our ages seem still young! Not nearly old enough to lose.TerriRichardson112 wrote: »@littleblackskirt I have a smart weighing scale that gives me other data.
BMI, %age water, muscle, fat; bone weight; TDEE.
The figures tally with the BODYTRAX machine used by my local gym, so are fairly accurate.
Thanks Terri, that is interesting. I'd be tempted but I think I'd also need a new phone, my phone is so old there is no storage space for another app. I'm still wondering HOW the scales know what's inside a body though lol.
@cschmitz110515 that's the law isn't it? You can't move if the cat is comfy.

So JFT Wednesday
Remember my aims yes
Walk if the rain stops yes only 25 minutes but glad to get out, have missed a few days
Back exercises yes
Wrap some presents no
Have had a good Thursday, eaten normal meals and no snacking. Back exercises done. Babysitting went well.
Also made progress with Dads estate, got forms submitted for probate just before they shut down for the holidays, so that's a relief to know it's moving forward, and I shouldn't have much to do over the holiday.
Aiming for another good day tomorrow.

- 64 oz water 🥴 48 oz. Too much coffee today while I was running to doc appts and shopping.

Does shopping count? - PT appointment 💯
- Stop at TJMaxx for ornament buddy gift and Christmas cards, STAMPS 💯

- Listen to NoBS Podcast and/or Course lesson. Listen to Half Size Me. 💯

Yesterday, I just plain ran out of time. I spent way too much time in TJMaxx (or TK Max as they call it by @Bex953172
). It was good though, because I really needed to get that package mailed out and I found what I needed there.
Today, I have spent a lot of time making phone calls that I have been procrastinating on, and have a few more to make. Then I'm hitting the sewing machine and the baking hard! Needs to get done. I won't be having the family over for Christmas this year, and I'm trying really hard to think of things I can do instead so I don't just shut myself in the bedroom, curl into a ball and cry. This has been a tough year on so many of us. Hang in there! It's not forever!
I plan to put together a box of all our regular baked goods and do drive-by's at all the kids' houses and drop a box off for each family. Hoping to peak in their windows to see their Christmas trees and wave at the kiddos. If I get the little patchwork sacks/stockings done in time, I'm going to tuck a few little goodies in those for the kids too. I can't afford presents for them this year since job loss (we have 23 grandkids), so maybe some little things from the Dollar Tree? IDK. Life has turned topsy turvy in 2020!
@mytime6630 My prayers are with you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear of your SIL. I am happy to hear that you are able to have your daughter over on the patio for Christmas though! Hot cocoa or a nice hot coffee beverage and a heater, some Christmas music playing perhaps?
Just for Friday- 24H Plan and Assess
- 64 oz water
- 30 minutes intentional activity
- Log all food
- Go to grocery store and pick up ingredients for homemade pizza tonight
- Bake 2 batches of Christmas cookies or breads
- Make 4 patchwork bags/stockings for kiddos
- Listen to NoBS Podcast and/or course lesson.
- Be in the present tonight with hubby for Friday's movie night.
- Evening Routine: Get ready one hour early, gratitude journal, readings, lights off 10:30.

Im sorry, HOW MANY? 23?!?!
My god that is a lot of grandkids lol!
Between me and my brother we have produced 5 grandkids for my parents haha!
I think it sounds nice to have a drive by everyone and give them all a little something!
Hey now you found something to do! You best get your butt in gear!
Hahaha! Yes I do need to get my butt in gear!
Tim has 3 adult kids from first marriage and I have 3 adult kids from first marriage....between those 6 adult kids, we have 18 grandkids and 5 great-grandkids! So if we buy the adult kids and their spouses a gift, then all the grandkids and the great-grandkids gifts, it adds up really quick!
Haha I bet it does!
Cause I had all mine in my early 20s I bet I'll be a great-grandma one day. I shudder at the thought lol!
If Sask has a child at the same age I did (21) then ill be a grandma at 42 lol!1 -
So who can eat an entire carton of ice cream in just one day. ME! (Oh .. and it was Candy Nut ice cream... so was super good).
Seriously, yes, I did eat all of this during the day today .. one bowl at a time. I know it is stress eating, but also, I have not had ice cream in like 8 months because I usually don't buy it now that I rarely go to the store.
But my SIL passed away today, and I am so saddened that first, we did not even know she was sick until 3 weeks ago, and 2nd, that we never got the chance to see her and tell her how much we love her and will miss her. 2020 has been a awful year, for so many. And then seeing that on christmas day it will get down to 15 degrees! How are we going to do christmas outside when it is that cold! Even in the patio room it will be cold. I was really hoping and praying for a nice 50 or 60 degree day.
so tomorrow will be a new day. The ice cream is ALL GONE .. so hey, I don't have to worry about not eating ice cream now.

that IS a lot of grandchildren!! But think of all the cute little things you can sew for them!!! Have you seen the little baskets to sew? I am making some for my daughter, and didn't get around to sewing them earlier to send to our 5 grandkids. But they sew together super fast .. and you can fill them with little things like pencils, stickers, candy, socks, etc -- things that wont cost too much.

And what a wonderful idea to drive by each house. You are very lucky they live close enough to do that. I wish so much we could drive to Michigan.

Nothing as serious or dangerous as before, just a general loss of interest in life. Even minimal self care has been difficult. Things like showering and brushing my teeth aren't happening like they should. I know, gross... Exercise is not happening at all. I'm not even getting 6000 steps most days. I'm late for work may days, but do well when I'm there. I only go into the office 2 days a week, on my work form home days, I mostly lay around and check emails. Not very engaging. The family is doing well, Christmas gifts are purchased and wrapped, cookies are made, but I just don't feel it this year. Going to the Boys & Girls Club tonight to drop off some gifts and sticking around to wrap gifts. I do take some pleasure in doing things to make others happy, and I can enjoy moments throughout the day, but when the moments are over I quickly slip back into numbness. I did paint a mural for my daughters room of a Cygnus A which is a Radio Galaxy Star. It turned out ok, but I fell off the step ladder completing it on Monday. No serious injuries, just stiff and bruised. Chalk it up to 2020 I guess.
Saw my Psych yesterday and she decided to adjust my meds. Hopefully, that will help me have a desire to live life again rather than just existing in it. She also suggested I make some simple goals each day. Funny, I used to do that and I used to interact here in this group. I miss y'all and your support, but it's my fault that is gone.
For the Newbies, welcome. Sorry you had to hear about my struggles. I try not to always be a whiner, but sometimes folks around here want an update. This is a great group!
Depression sucks! I’ve suffered through it three times now and I think I feel it trying to settle in and get comfortable again now, but I’m fighting it.
Hugs to you, I hope the med change helps.
