Life has moved up a notch with the new semester starting. My groups are restarting. (I am volunteer leader for 3, and belong to another 4).
We are taking our daughter and younger grandson on the ferry to England to settle him into his new Uni on 22 Sept.
@clicketykeys (((hugs))) You have such a busy schedule. With added stress at work, it’s natural to feel the way you do. Hang in there. This too shall pass.
@more_freggies76 Have a wonderful holiday.
@emgracewrites (((hugs))) May you find the strength you need to move forward.
@Bex953172 It’s good that you have found a temporary workaround for the phone.

Today was even worse than yesterday in terms of calories consumed, water consumed, and anxiety levels. Just one of those days where I don’t feel like I’m good enough to meet any goal I set for myself.
There was a time I had alot of days which were mostly crosses. It used to get to me alot, like it's simple right? But sometimes it just doesn't go to plan. I found myself accepting my bad days better when I realised that not every day will be perfect, and it's completely okay to have a bad day because sometimes life just happens. You may even have a few more bad days or even loads but you will get there. You are good enough to meet your goals. This a journey which will have lots of ups and downs. And everyone has these moments where everything just goes to pot. So you are definitely not alone! Just keep with it. The biggest achievement you are making right now it's showing up. And being accountable for your days that aren't so great. You're here. You're trying. And that can mean more than anything. Accept your bad days. And leave your bad days in the past. See it as part of the process rather than a reflection of yourself. You're doing great, even if it doesn't feel at it at times.
Hope you're okay xxx

Busy day at work today. Totally missed on the mini meals this morning. Didn't eat until 11:20am, not horrible, but not to plan.
Not sure what we are doing this evening. Not even sure what I want to do this evening.

Didn't really have plans yesterday, but hubby decided he wanted to go play trivia, so we went out. Typically when we go I don't drink and I drive, but I decided I wanted to have a few beers and to try the new truffle parmesan fries. They were yummy, but totally off plan. Then as my alcohol content increased my inhibitions decreased and I had ice cream as well. Also super yummy. I don't regret my decision to go off plan, because I know today I will be back on plan. We lost badly at trivia, it was Disney trivia and that just ain't my thing. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Disney flick, but obscure trivia about it is not in my wheel house.
Missed my 7:00am meeting this morning, I just totally forgot about it. I have very little to do at work today truth be told. Ok, I have a lot I can do, but little I want to work on.
V's Homecoming dress alterations are done so I can pick that up today. She is going to look like a Barbie at Homecoming. Short tight bright pink/purple lets call it metallic magenta dress with white platform 5" heels that make her legs look 4 feet long. Deal is she wears Nike Pro shorts under it so she isn't hootchie...
Maybe I'll try to mow this evening. Maybe I'll leave early and mow... Yeah, that sounds better. The weather is quite nice, mid 70's.

Long week, but I made it to Friday, and the weather looks great this weekend! I have a pile of diagnostic essays to evaluate, but my first full week of classes is in the bag and I'm optimistic -as always - about the semester ahead.
I've been spending a lot of time this week helping my daughter with various chores and errands. Today I need to spend some time putting my own house in order. My weight's up a bit - too much take-out food and not a lot of exercise - so I need to make a plan for getting back on track. Maybe after unwinding a bit over the weekend.
So no specific goals today - just the usual Friday intention to eat balanced meals, stay hydrated, and relax with family.
Thank you friends for your kind words of support. They mean so much. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!4 -

Bad side: our property taxes will definitely be higher come this Dec. Oh well. Hubby and I have been savers our whole lives. Doesn't make me rethink retiring next month.

Happy Saturday!
College tour went really well. Even Tim was impressed with their fashion program. Let’s just say he is not thrilled with her choice of career paths. But I think if she really loves it, she will succeed. They have a great requirement where they must study abroad w with opportunities in Italy and New York. Other places two, but these are the most popular.
Today is my moms birthday. So I’ll go do some birthday type things for her.
Otherwise feeling a bit under the weather, so no plans. V is actually sick, going to pick up a Covid test for her while I’m out. Sierra is at college and has Covid. What are the odds???

To live a fit, healthy life.
🦄 Terri3 -
Hi all, I am new to this thread:
For today: at least 2-3 servings of fruits and vegetables and half hour of cardio.
Why? I will feel better and work better3 -
@more_freggies76 - Oh, how I love France! Enjoy every minute!
@cschmitz110515 - Ah, the not-so-wonderful flipside of property appreciation
Glad it won't derail your retirement plans.
@pridesabtch - Sorry to heat your girls are sick. Hope they recover quickly. But I'm glad to hear the college visit went well. I loved visiting colleges with my kids. It was such a nice opportunity to focus on each one's individual interests and spend some quality time together during the frenetic activity of senior year. What aspect of fashion is your daughter interested in?
