    Happy Thursday! Apparently I have more issues building and sticking to a routine when I'm NOT working than when I am working! LOL I cannot seem to get into a rhythm, and I was furloughed on June 24th! That's what happens when you've worked 40-60 hours a week for 43 years....you don't know who you are and it's rather confusing! ;)

    I did really well with my goals yesterday. I met all of them except for actually having them listed in here. I joined the No BS Community (formerly called Phit & Phat) and have been listening to the courses and doing the worksheets and challenges, and it has really helped to motivate me.

    Yesterday's challenge was to document each time I had an urge to eat something off plan. I had to write what I was thinking, what my body was feeling and what my choice was...did I eat it or walk away? It really made me stop and think. I also paid attention to my hunger signals....was I hungry or was I eating just because I always eat at that time? Did I need to eat everything or was I full? Things like that--stuff I really don't give a lot of thought to. Yesterday, I actually drank 99 oz water, measured out 1cup of ice cream, walked away from unplanned grabs/snacks, and I closed the kitchen at 7:30 p.m. Today, I woke up 1.8 lbs lighter on the scale! Yay! :mrgreen:

    I haven't seen today's challenge yet but I'm excited to see what it is!

    • Evening Routine: Pack tomorrow's Bkfst, L & S tonight and prelog in MFP Food diary / Close kitchen at 7:30 pm / Skin care / Assess #NoBS 24H for today / Readings from SA and DO / Gratitude Journal / Read for an hour and then lights out.
    • Get up at 0700 to establish morning routine.

    Today I will:
    - up at 9 😥
    - Walmart 😁
    - dishwasher😁
    - post😁
    - take pill😁
    - liquor store😁
    - paystub😁
    - write climax scene 😥
    - video chat with T😥

    So apparently I got my information wrong. My company is still waiting to hear from the school district about a job placement. I was supposed to go to an all day training today but I couldn't because the district is going crazy and dropped the ball. So now I don't know any of the protocols for starting the new year, only that a mask is required. I'm waiting for a phone call from my liaison with the district to find out what's up. Hopefully I get to start on Tuesday but at this rate I'm not sure.

    I've been battling a headache all day too. It's just been an annoying day.

    Today I will:
    - post 😁
    - update checkbook
    - pay bills
    - peddle
    - write climax!

    That's it for today.

    Hitting a wall. COvid and weather really put a wrench in my race season and now starting to just feel burnt out a little. My eating habits have not been as good and I’ve been slack about writing goals. Yesterday I wrote goals but don’t think I posted them. Ended up not working out and missing my caloric mark AND having couple beers. I’m blaming sleep deprivation and stress. We are struggling here because our 13 year old toy fox terrier seems to be quickly declining. So much so that we are starting to worry if we should have her put down. Right now she seems happy but other times not so much. Vet says she has doggy dementia, liver disease and oh BTW she’s pretty much def and now also has to wear a little doggy diaper cuz she drinks, paces and pees when she’s not sleeping.
    My daughter is not gonna do well with this...

    Sorry for unloading.


    I was MIA for a bit so wasn't sure if you were still posting and I didn't see it or if you had stopped. Either way, I'm happy to see you write. You have been a huge inspiration to me in your journey, so I hope you don't give up. You really kicked some *kitten* this year! Give yourself a break....we all have *kitten* things happen in our lives, and watching your fur baby decline is heartbreaking!!! 🥺 My husband is still heartbroken over our black lab, Jack, who passed about 2 years ago. They're family. Take care of yourself and I'm glad to see you here.

    @PackerFanInGB - I have a friend of a friend that has started recording audio books from home. You just need a very quiet room and from my understanding the companies help set up the equipment. It might be something to look into. I have no idea how to go about it. UPS here in Canada has all of their office staff working from home now and a lot of telecommunication companies do as well.
    I understand the ideas that swirl around your head when you're at home and there is a lot you want to do, but you're frustrated because you don't have the money to do the projects.


    Recording audio books would be an awesome job! I wonder how you even get into something like that. I doubt that I'd even get hired. I don't exactly have a melodic voice... 😁 I'm kind of watching for jobs I can do from home, but so far I've seen nothing that I have any experience in.

    @mytime6630 - Your challenge is how I got back into the habits a couple of months ago. I swore I would log all food and would post goals each day. It's helped me get back to some semblance of control. Now if I could just avoid those $*% chips!

    I recorded the 25th Anniversary Riverdance show on PBS on the weekend. Last night for my 15 minutes of exercise, I "danced" along with them. I am not a dancer! I probably looked like a 3 year old girl that is pretending to be a ballet dancer, but I moved and had fun and no one saw me so that is the important part.

    That IS the important part! I have the rhythm and grace a baboon, but when I go in the basement and play Body Groove videos on You Tube and dance along with them, I have so much stinkin' fun!!! I think I'd die if anyone ever saw me! hahaha! Oh, and chips are my downfall too! If I let myself have even one, I will sit down with the whole bag and that would be my dinner every single night. Just thinking about it has my mouth watering! :heart:

    JFT W 9/2
    1) Walked dog 3.93 miles before work YAY :smiley: happy dog & happy me

    YAY I woke up just before alarm & GOT OUT OF BED before sunrise. Me so not a morning person. But dog was very happy to go walking with me.

    Wednesdays are my assigned day to work in the conference room. With the oldest, slowest PC on earth. With IE for the only browser. I will need patience today. :p

    I woke up around the same time today, but my dog is NOT a happy dog since I thought about getting up for a walk for about 15 seconds before I rolled over and went back to sleep! I really admire how you make yourself do it! I know I'd love early morning walks if I could only get myself to do it. :mrgreen:



    @HEGoddard0928 I hope everything gets straightened out for you with getting back to work! It sounds like your book is coming along really well! I'm excited for you!


    @mytime6630 Yay for the bird feeders! I love watching them also, but those dang squirrels do tend to hog the food! My DH now buys 2 different mixes...one for birds in the bird feeder, one he sprinkles on the ground for the squirrels. It seems to help keep the squirrels from climbing onto the feeder! I will miss them when they leave and go south for the winter, but we have cardinals that stay all year round and they're just stunning against the white snowy background.

      @cschmitz110515 - I think sending regrets to parties is a good idea right now. It's hard to do though.

      @PackerFanInGB - That sounds like a cool challenge, having to write down why you're eating something would be a big deterrent I would think.
      I don't know how you you would get into a job like that, but it would be interesting I bet.

      More I wanted to comment on but I'll have to catch up later, I have a busy work day today

      It was very hard to send regrets, that's why I was delaying. They've been planning this celebration for over a year, because it's their 50th wedding anniversary. I love this uncle, one of my dad's younger brothers. It's one of the earliest weddings I remember ever attending. But hubby and I talked it over, and I know it's the right thing to do. Even my parents sent their regrets. How sad!

      @PackerFanInGB - That sounds like a cool challenge, having to write down why you're eating something would be a big deterrent I would think.
      I don't know how you you would get into a job like that, but it would be interesting I bet.


      It did keep me from giving in to my urges for the most part! I did still overeat, but I didn't eat anything that wasn't on my 24H plan. I made homemade chicken pot pie last night and it was so good! I had one piece but it was really filling and I sure didn't need to eat the entire piece. LOL At least I stayed out of the peanuts and salty stuff though.

      Yesterday was an emotional day. Three pieces of big news. One cool, one bad & one sad.

      Sad: My good friend Michelle lost her battle with cancer yesterday. She was a Christian woman, so I know she is in a great place and pain free, but I will miss her. She leave behind two young girls ages 13 & 15. My heart breaks for them. Her funeral is Sunday, they are having visitation, but I'm not sure what that will be like with Covid. Cancer sucks!


      I'm excited for your niece going to Canada for hockey! What an awesome opportunity! Yay! My boys used to play hockey when they were young and I absolutely LOVED being a hockey mom....good memories. :) 🏒🥅

      I'm very sorry to hear about your friend though. Cancer is a very scary thing, and to leave behind two daughters is just so sad. Cancer does suck. I agree. I am Christian, and I will pray for her daughters and loved ones to find peace. 💞

        JFT - Saturday September 5
        1L of Water
        15 Minutes of Activity

        Updating tonight as I doubt I’ll have time in the morning. I’m changing the goals for tomorrow as I know I won’t log, I will eat chips and I won’t have my journal with me. I am going for a sleepover at Kaitlyn’s tomorrow night. Lauryn and her friend Brittney are setting the camper up in the driveway and their daughters Charlotte and Michaela (both 4) are joining us for girls night. It will be fun.

        @pridesabtch - where in Canada will your niece be?
        So sorry you lost your friend so hard on those young girls.

        I am taking our car in on Sunday to get a quote on what it will cost to fix something in the front end. We need something new, but I can’t figure out a way to make it happen.
        The last few years have really wrecked the credit rating. I wish money wasn’t such a necessary evil.

        Well enough belly aching for tonight, I’ll see you all Sunday at some point.

        Hi all. Sorry I was quiet the last couple of days. We have been so hectic at work getting everything ready for children to return to school and trying to familiarise ourselves with government guidance that seems to change almost hourly!! Our school reopens to the children on Monday.

        Anyway, all is well and my two girls have been back at their school since Tuesday and have been great. My oldest is now at senior school so she feels grown-up and I feel old! I’m just thrilled that they have gone back with confidence and positivity and I’m super proud.

        Otherwise plugging away with my fitness priorities (running and strength training) though I need to find time to get some yoga in the mix too. And working on a house refurb plan which hopefully I can start soon. Busy!

        @Snowflake1968 have a wonderful sleepover!! That sounds like so much fun.

        @TerriRichardson112 and @PackerFanInGB - great work keeping you goals!

        @pridesabtch - I’m so so sorry for the loss of your friend. Devastating at any age but as a young mother to teen girls - it is desperately sad. I have you and them in my thoughts... hugs x

        Wish you all a healthy and peaceful weekend x

        Saturday goals

        Didn't post yesterday. To be honest, I don't even really remember what I did other than watch the Mets game at night. Lol. And battle a headache that I've had for like a week.

        Today has been better though! I did the laundry and finally finally wrote that scene I've been putting off. For some reason I find it really easy to write when I'm sitting in the laundromat parking lot waiting for my clothes to wash/dry. But I did it! Now I have just 2 more scenes and then the book is done! Well the first draft anyway. Lol. Gonna need a hell of a lot of revisions. I'm planning on having it finished by tomorrow!

        Okay, onto some goals!
        Today I will:
        - post on JFT 😁
        - laundry 😁
        - mail bill
        - write scene 😁😁😁😁😁
        - cook dinner
        - quality time with Matt! Be present!
