Why at times post contents are hidden under “spoiler” and I have to click to read the content?
Sometimes people have a long or big post or a personal tracking post, and they hide it so it doesn't take a whole page. They don't care if people see it, but they don't feel it's particularly important for others. I do it with photos occasionally because they can take ages to load on some phones.2 -

Spoiler is an option, just like Quote and Code, to keep posts shorter. Then readers can open if they wish or bypass. I use Spoilers for my detailed info and annual goals, and occasionally for photos. Those can clog up a post, take up data use if on a phone, and not everyone is interested.1 -
JFT Tuesday
- Up by 7:00
- Weigh
- Work by 8:00
- Water
But better than yesterday
- Mini meals
sort of
- log food
- stay green
- clean downstairs
- vacuum upstairs
- Dinner under 500 cal
- Chill a bit
- Bed by 10:00
That's all I got...
I totally cant believe it's only Wednesday and I had Monday off. It at least needs to be Thursday.
Didn't get home until 6:30 yesterday evening, and I was totally tanked. I've been working on a presentation for tomorrow. It should take 3 - 4 hours to present the information and I've only had 3 days to prepare it. I should finish up this afternoon. Waiting on data from a few folks. Otherwise nothing much going on.
Weight loss has been steady, but the past few days, I've been skipping my mini meals during the day. Good for calorie count, bad for consistency and long term success.
JFT Goals
- Up by 6:15
- Weigh
- Work by 7:00 Even though I had to go back home to get my gate pass.
- 7:30 meeting skipped it
- Meetings straight through from 8:30 - 11:00am
- Lunch well I took a break, but didn't eat.

Surprise visit from my mom made my day a little brighter. Also the new recipe I tried came out pretty well, which is good because it made way more than I was anticipating. Not sure how accurate the nutrition calculation for it was, but I think I at least got close to my minimum calorie goal for the day. Maybe tomorrow I’ll actually get there!3 -

Yesterday was a tragic emotional day in the neighborhood. A little boy went missing. All the neighborhood was looking for him especially the kids on their bikes. I got home from work to find all of the neighborhood kids at my house with my daughter. The little boy was found at the bottom of a neighbor’s pool. Vanessa gathered all of the kids and took them to our place to distract them. They are all a bit traumatized. A few of them saw the little boy’s body. Mostly all of the neighborhood is in shock. My one neighbor was the guy who drove in and got the boy. He’s an EMT, but he was very distraught. We talked for a long time. V couldn’t sleep last night, told her she didn’t have to go to school today, but she decided to go. The little boy was apparently on his week with his dad and got out of the house. He was a nonverbal autistic child.
Tonight was supposed to be date night, but we’ll see.
On an up side I seem to be flying through the 150’s only about 3.5 pounds from the 140s.

Caught up with the thread. So much sad news, So sorry about Boomer @pridesabtch and also about the little boy that drowned. How heartbreaking..
Unfortunately I bring further bad news.
Our Queen has died today. Very sad news and not sure how I feel about it. It's not like she's family but she was our Queen, so I am quite upset about it.

Today is my birthday
Celebrations started yesterday already and my calorie count went off the roof. Hence my goal for today is to not go waaaaaay too off my daily intake.
That’s it, I said it. We’re going away to a hotel spa on the beach with my husband, kids will stay with my in-laws. I’m just going to relax and enjoy the day.
Happy Birthday!!! A hotel spa sounds wonderful!!!

My 8-hour work day stretched to 9.5 hours today and I’m still feeling completely behind and overwhelmed. Hence why no writing got done - just feeling drained and burnt out and not creative whatsoever.
Stress also made my appetite go crazy but mostly for junk food and sugar. That’s where the majority of my calories came from today. Hopefully I will be able to find a better balance tomorrow

Sorry to hear about the bad news - here is some good news
Yesterday 9/7
Crushed all my goals that I neglected the day before. 😀
Today I traveled on a business trip and won’t be home till late Friday, so no official logging but I’ll try to be on good behavior and get some mild exercise in. I’ll be reading yours stuff and cheering you on and will save that motivation for the weekend.3 -

Yesterday was pretty good, but I didn't get my mini meals in like I'm supposed to. We did go out for date night trivia and we won. That's always fun.
Got 2 of the 4 dresses I ordered to try for the reunion. One fits really well, but it's too long. Taking it to get it altered today. The other just looks bad, its a clingy material that shows all the lumps and bumps. Still waiting for my favorite to show and hoping it looks good as is. The reunion isn't until 9/23, but ya gotta get this stuff in order early when you are short.
No real plans today other than getting the dresses altered. Went to mom's yesterday (almost forgot to go). She gave me some good news. She's decided to quit smoking after 50 years, she's on day 11 and doing well. I'm proud of her, but have little faith in this. I know that is sad, but I figure after her lung CT Monday, she'll go back to it unless she has major damage. I know I should be more positive...

Busy week, but the semester seems to be off to a good start. Food choices have been reasonable, and I managed to get in a bike ride and a couple of walks. Lots of family stuff going on, so I need to be flexible and available to help out. For now, it's difficult to set a daily agenda and be consistent with goals, so I'm keeping them simple and will try to check in when I can.
