Weight today was 187.6! OK ... self... get back on track! I need to lose those 10 pounds fast!! I was doing so good during this pandemic until the last month, and its maddening how quickly the weight can crept up!
9/3: 184.4
9/5: 184.0

Personal challenge for myself. LOG at least ONE meal each day.
Completed: 2/30

1. log ALL food
2. concentrate on water
3. mindful eating
4. remember how I lost the weight... when hungry, grab a hard boiled egg, protein shake, or fruit. Nothing else! drink water
5. start chemo hats


A stressful evening .. so I ate ice cream, chips, etc! I wasn't going to even buy that stuff, but hubby wanted it over the holiday weekend.
Last nite after our daughter left ... hubby only allows her to sit outside again because she worked in the nursing home 3 days ago. The mosquitos are awful ... she and I both are so bite up. So she left early, and I could tell things were bothering her.
I ran to the store afterwards to pick up hubby prescripts, so picked her up some flowers and a candle. When I dropped them off at her apartment.. she was crying.
I just hate this virus. She misses working .. she only works maybe 1-3 hrs every other week. We are giving her some spending money. But I think she misses the most not being able to come in our house. I was so glad I got her the flowers ... she said she really needed that.

So tonite she came out ... but after 30 minutes on the patio, we are both so eaten up! I have citronolla candles, yard spray, etc., but we have had so much rain, so mosquitos are the worse I have ever seen them.
I asked hubby again .. could she go in the patio room, and we just won't use it until tomorrow. We only sit there in the mornings anyhow. This room is totally closed from the house.. other than the patio door that leads us out there. But our daughter enters it through outside stairs. He said no. I read up, and from what I understand, the virus only lives 3 hrs in the air. I told him that, and he got upset, asking where I read that. I know it lasts on surfaces longer, but I clean those.
So tonite I already had 2 bowls of ice cream and chips. I am ready to go and have another bowl of ice cream, but I know that won't help. I don't want to call my hubby selfish... but geez, he and I could skip going in the patio room so she could be out there. He said he hates being this way .. he is just trying to protect us. But whenever I say anything, he just gets really upset. He is afraid I will get the virus because I sit out there with her. So I can't win.

going to call it a nite... and maybe watch a movie with my glass of water.

@mytime6630 - I’m sorry your husband is being so stubborn. I understand that in the States you are dealing with much higher numbers than we are here so understand his fear. What would he say about if you wiped down the furniture and things she touches with Lysol wipes and wore a mask.

If all else fails, I bought the Off Brand mosquito lanterns and found them very efficient.

I have to run I’ll catch up latet

I've been battling headaches every morning and then randomly throughout the afternoon. I don't understand why. They're really annoying and stop me from doing things. I need to figure out how to make them stop.

Today is the day I finish my 2nd full length novel! I can't believe it!

Onto some goals
Today I will:

- post
- finish USS

Well done @HEGoddard0928 on the writing! Such discipline to keep plugging away and write a whole novel! Amazing.

@mytime6630 I’m sorry it’s so tough. What a difficult position to be in.

@Snowflake1968 hope the sleepover was good!

@TerriRichardson112 - yay for the walking!

I am running out of time here so the quick take home from my weekend is that I did all my jobs and loads of exercise but was a little less disciplined with food. Ah well, at least I know I burned a ton of calories too! Tomorrow is a brand new week and I have to run a marathon over the 7 days in a tribute challenge for my MFP forum running group member who died suddenly just recently. Will catch up more with you all tomorrow.

@HEGoddard0928 - Congratulations!!!! What’s the next step?

@Faebert - I failed miserably at any semblance of restraint at the sleepover but I had so much fun.

This is my Granddaughter and her best friend Charlotte. There is about 4 months between them and this was their first sleepover. Their Mom’s have been best friends since they were 13.
I am a little biased but I think they’re pretty sweet.

Walked 8.5 miles this morning with a friend ... what a great way to start my day, and because of this, had a much better day food-wise. Our daughter worked today, and came out at 8 .. only stayed about 1 hour. But thankfully there was a nice breeze, and the bugs didn't seem quite so bad! We just have to make this work somehow.


Goals for monday, 9.8
1. log all food
2. concentrate on 8+ water
3. mindful eating
4. go for a walk of bike ride ... even if just a short walk
5. work on quilt. Trying to get this finished so I can start other needed projects .. like chemo hats!

@TerriRichardson11 -- I like how you list goals for each day. You have done so great... and so motivating!

@HEGoddard0928 - great job on the book writing!! I hope your headaches are better.

I've been thinking of @AJB1014, @mytime6630, @bookmeister86 and @PackerFanInGB lately. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thank you! I am well, I just haven't managed to get round to posting for a while...

Covid-19 has really changed my routine, I used to mainly post on my commuter train in the morning as it was a bit of time to myself I had on a regular basis. Now I haven't taken the commuter train in nearly six months

Working from home, you'd think I'd have more time but in the morning before work I tend to either do exercise or start working early so as to actually get some work done before the endless video calls start for the day... And in the evening I tend to be quite tired and drained and just feeling like flopping. Plus, the boyfriend is around all the time and I find it quite difficult to find a bit of time to myself with him around.

I'd realised that a few months ago and planned to log on at weekends instead, but for some reason weekends ended up not happening either. I think for the past two summer months we have been quite busy on weekends as well, with not really socialising much in the week we've relied on weekends to get out and see family and friends, and so posting then hasn't happened either!

I do want to get back into posting though, even if it's just weekly, as I miss everyone! I need to figure out a way to fit it in somehow.

This morning, the boyfriend has actually gone back to work for the first time in six months which is why I've found a bit of time and space to log on and post From now on, he's going to be in the office one week in two (apparently - we'll see how that pans out, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't take long before there is a 'suspected case' and they all get sent home again). It's weird, this is going to be the most time we've spent apart in months, I feel a little bit sad to be left at home. But I also feel quite pleased to have a bit of time to myself for the first time in aaaaaaaaaaaaages

In terms of how I've been: I've been loving not commuting It's been great not to have to waste that time - I did get my little MFP time pocket through it, but lots of it was just dead time! I have also been quite enjoying a slightly slower pace of life as well. I've been reading lots, spending time outside in nature - we've found a new park to run in that I wasn't aware of before the crisis - cooking more interesting foods and also trying random new hobbies like drawing, colouring (I bought a Harry Potter colouring book...) and jewellery making/ mending! (I managed to get around to fixing some necklaces/ earrings that had been broken for like five years.

Lately I have started to get a bit tired of it though, continually working from home in a town where I don't know anyone (we live in a town in the middle of the places we work in, so we know people where we work but not where we live) is pretty isolating. I miss interacting with HUMANS. Video calls are not the same. And video calls, and working from home in general, is just pretty exhausting and draining. So I really could do with going back to the office fairly soon. I feel a bit torn about it because I'm concerned about the risks of going back, mainly the public transport which is pretty packed (or at least it was pre-covid). But I think I would perhaps like to go back for maybe 1-2 days a week just for getting to interact with people. With that number of days, I could walk rather than take the underground - it would make the commute a lot longer but that would be ok for a small number of days.

Anyway, that's not going to be happening until the end of October at the earliest (current timelines). So for now, I'm at home, making the best of it!

I hope everyone is doing ok. I have actually been reading many of the posts (just not posting myself) so have a vague sense of what's happening with everyone, although I have probably forgotten lots of things as I didn't take any notes. Just a few comments relating to things I can remember off the top of my head:

@mytime6630 I'm so glad that your husband came through the initial treatment successfully. It's annoying that he has to keep having those injections but it sounds like lots of people go through those and get used to them, I'm sure he will as well. I'm sorry about the difficulties getting to see your daughter, that must be really upsetting. I think the plan to just have her in one room sounds like a good one. If he's worried about you catching it from her in that room, could you sit at opposite ends? Not sure how big it is?

@PackerFanInGB I'm sorry that you lost your job. It must be lovely to not have to work, but equally it must be
difficult adjusting to it and getting a new routine. Plus, money is naturally a concern. In terms of boosting income, this is a website that might help you:
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/boost-your-income/
It's UK-based so lots of the options listed won't be open to you, however I imagine there will be equivalents in the US that you could find?

@Snowflake1968 that link might help you as well, you mentioned that you could do with some more income. I wondered for you as well, could you sell some of those beautiful craft products that you made online? Sites like Etsy seem to be very popular at the moment - lots of start up businesses seem have been selling face masks on there for example. I hope you are doing ok, it feels from your latest posts that you are doing a bit better in terms of tracking and managing eating/ exercise, which is great. I think lots of people have struggled with their weight in this crisis, you are not alone at all. Massive depressing and stressful pandemic = less motivation/ emotional eating. You are doing well to be getting more on top of it now.

@Faebert Glad you managed to find your way back here after a little break! Good luck going back to school - I can imagine it's going to be very different and challenging this year. But very important to ensure children get the education they need. I think you and other teachers are really admirable, firstly for adapting to teaching the children virtually throughout this crisis, but also for getting back out there now.

@ZizzyBumble I'm really sorry for your loss. I hope you are doing ok, loss of a parent is a horrible thing to go through. I know from experience that it does get easier over time but it's always tough. Sending you hugs and best wishes x

@pridesabtch I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, and so young. Sending you hugs and best wishes as well. Also, sending you an instruction to be kind to yourself. I've noticed a few instances where you've been very strict and unforgiving of yourself. I can relate to this as I tend to be very strict and unforgiving of myself as well. But I'm trying to remember that we all make mistakes and that none of us are perfect and that's ok. It's how we deal with our mistakes (owning them) and imperfections (working on them) that matters. And you are doing great in those respects

@Bex953172 I know you're taking a break from posting at the moment; hope you are doing ok. You're such a strong person I know you'll manage to get through whatever it is you're going through. But I'm also sending you positive thoughts and vibes to hopefully get you through it quicker so we can have you back here

@HEGoddard0928 Congratulations on finishing the book! Look forward to hearing about its progress.



Those are the specific things I've been wanting to say from what I could remember of the last few month's posts, but I will have forgotten important things I'm sure. I'd also just like to say hey to everyone else that I haven't mentioned thus far

After that mammoth post, seeing as I'm here I should really actually post some goals for the day - let's see if I manage to make it back here tomorrow to be accountable on them! Keeping them simple:

- Be in the green
- Walk 4 miles for Miles for Refugees challenge
- Speak some French to boyfriend
- Only read emails at intervals

@bookmeister86 so glad to hear from you! We’ve missed having you around.

No chips
15 minutes of activity
Gratitude Journal

@mytime6630 - I hope they remain friends as well, I'm sure they will be in each others lives whether they remain friends or not as their moms are best friends. My oldest friendship is 45 years this year, we met on the first day of Grade 2.

@bookmeister86 - So happy to see you back for a post. I found a change in my routines made a difference when I posted too. The times I've dropped off that has been the cause.

Ok, I have to run out back later

I did it!!! Lol. It's not exactly a full-length novel as it's only about 40k words but I know that once I get through a few rounds of edits it'll be well over the 50k mark. I'm just so freakin proud of myself! And my writing besties were super excited for me too! It was a really great feeling. Now I'm going to work on the outline for the second book in the series and do some edits of the first one I wrote. I put that one down to work on this one I just finished. It's been 6 months since I last looked at it so it's not fresh in my mind. I'll have new eyes when I read through it! I'm excited! And also scared at the same time. Lol

Okay, onto some goals!
Today I will:

Hey everyone.
Thinking of coming back. I miss you all alot!
In fact I never really went, I've logged on every day just to see what you've all been up to because i missed you all!

I'm still finding things hard. I cant really explain it and to be quite honest, I don't want to lol.

Although I think I had my worst day a couple of days ago. So once you hit the bottom the only way is up right?

I'm still struggling with my eating alot. Not sure what to do about it still. Although I've found I have started eating more at night? An old bad habit but hey, its keeping me fed. On top of worrying about not eating, im worried about when I do get back to eating normally again, Im terrified what its going to do to my weight at the same time I dont want it to just skyrocket up.

First week back at school was last week and it was so hard. The day I had the argument with the neighbours sister when she was threatening me, two of the mums from the school walked past when it was all happening, one of them stepped in actually and told the woman to back off. But I hadn't seen her since. So it was a bit awkward at school. Obviously, I apologised for her kids seeing it but she agreed it wasn't ok how I was treated and was "used to it round here" lol. She was nice about it.

But I dunno, they always say hi to me but never seem to want to talk to me about anything? They all seem to have their 9wn little group.

One woman there's amazing, she really is my friend and has offered me help with the kids (I've told her I'm struggling because I was scared she wouldn't be my friend because I've been so distant) she doesn't judge me on anything and is always inviting me round. And she's so understanding.

Then another woman I've been speaking to (or trying to) for a year now is pregnant. And I haven't seen her since covid. And so I tried speaking to her and she was rude and then carried on speaking to someone else. And I was only trying congratulate her on her pregnancy. Well I said "alright then cya later" dead sarcastic, she looked surprised but I swear if she even bother speaks to me again im gonna have to callnl her out on it.
Pregnant or not lol. I'm not standing for it anymore. If people don't like me, fine, but being two faced about it, not fine.

Its crazy, I have non of my original friends from school. Sometimes I think if somethings wrong with me? Like I'm not likable? I dont know how I come across to others. Or maybe, I've just not made friends with the right people?

So yeah, my head a bit of a mess. My angers very hard to control. I have to keep taking 5 minutes...every 5 minutes 🤣.

All I know, is ive missed you all. And I'm thinking I might just need your support or someone to vent to, rather than hide away from you all because I feel miserable.



There are a few of you I specifically want.to reply to but that will take some time. So I'll get that done soon or tomorrow x

Snowflake1968

@Bex953172 - I’m happy to see you back. I’ve learned through the years that hiding away and trying to fix things on my own is never good for me. It’s a hard lesson to learn. We’re all here for you even if you just want to stop in and say hi.

As for friends, true friends are very hard to come by but when they do, they are precious. It sounds to me like the Mom that witnessed the altercation would be a good friend, maybe give her a chance. The other one sounds like a b$tch. I’ll always be your friend, If I lived anywhere near you I would definitely invite you for tea.

Yeah she's really nice to me! And I found out her garden backs on to mine?! Lmao!!! All this time haha, she said she knew and couldn't believe i didn't haha.
I thought that her youngest kid looked familiar in their garden when playing (I can see from Marleys room)... he's only in Marleys class 🤣

Hi gang, have not stopped today! Out at 5:45am for a run before work. Started off in the dark but a gorgeous sunrise. Then school run with the kids and into work where we had my new year 1 class (5-6years) starting. Wow, they are young!! Seem much younger than other years because they missed so much of last year in school. I think it’s going to be a real uphill struggle bringing them up to the level they should be... 😬

Then school pick up of my kids and home to do couch to 5k with them, make dinner, help with homework etc.. I have only just sat down and it’s 8:30pm here. Typing while sort of overseeing baths etc. I’m wrecked!

@bookmeister86 so nice to see you!! @Bex953172 don’t suffer on your own. I think we all know this group isn’t just about diet and fitness, we are here for each other whatever so feel free to vent. Hugs x
