Have a great Thursday!
Yesterday went ok. Talked to mom about her finances and convinced her to stay with her investment firm rather than taking it out. Hubby wanted to go play trivia last night, so we did. It was Friends trivia, at which I've never been beaten, and I am still undefeated. Nice prizes last night, 5 drink tokens good for the fancy cocktails that cost up to $9 a pop. Funny thing is I rarely drink when we go there, but Tim does. It's not on plan for me, so I drive and we both have a good time.
Today I got virtually nothing planned. It's the Homecoming HS football game, but doubt the kid wants to go. It's too loud and too crowded for her. Plus it's going to be chilly out. The dance is tomorrow evening. I'm excited to go get some pictures of my pretty girl all dressed up.

- Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine

- maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well

Caught up on all the posts!
I'm no nearer to getting fitness and health into my schedule. Cost of living going up means I can't really afford the healthier options of food. Some weeks I can, some weeks I cant.
Yesterday I felt unwell when I got up and I've just gone more and more downhill from there. Doing a COVID test tomorrow. Shouted at the kids alot today to just shut up. Bit out of character for me but I've basically had the worst headache imaginable. Got heartburn. I ache.
Just about managed to get dinner on which I'm serving up soon but yeah. I do need to get back to regular posting etc. But I just find my time stretched unbearably thin with the kids and school, and the housework etc.3 -

Hour commitment - finally in city where I start flights back. I won’t eat again until after 5 pm. I bought a salad, apple, and yogurt to have. Hope I can find a fork in my luggage! Can have a little more if the bread I have if I want. But none of the food I bought for gifts and no more cashews tonight.
When I get home I won’t weigh again until right before my nutritionist appointment later in the week.4 -

Homecoming picture from Saturday:
Finally worked on my painting. I worked in the garage and my cat sat on my lap for the majority of the time, making the painting more difficult, but the snuggles were nice. We don't get much snuggle time as she can't come in the house often because Tim and Sierra are allergic to her. That and she tortures the dog. She really is sweet to me though. Pooh Bear still requires a little work (he's too bright), and the stuff at the bottom is just weight as I glued the baby's name at the bottom and wanted it to adhere well. Trying to decide if I put a quote at the top. "How do you spell love? - Piglet; You don't spell it you feel it - Pooh". Or just leave it
Other than church and painting yesterday, little got accomplished other than a nice dreary afternoon nap.
Today's agenda is equally light, had to come in early for a 6:15 meeting, then there is an audit at 8:30 - 10:00, after that just a few meetings, then home. Hubby left early this morning to go buy a new ceiling fan for the bedroom, ours died yesterday. He's having shoulder surgery tomorrow, so it's now or 3 months from now. He is very anxious about his surgery, it's a complete reverse shoulder replacement. They saw off the ball of the humerus, then attach the socket there and install a ball where the socket used to be. The studies show it works well, but you will have a limited range of motion.

Did pretty much nothing of value over the weekend. Meant to do a lot and then it just… didn’t happen. Trying to remind myself that it’s okay to take a break sometimes.
Another crazy hectic work week ahead so I’m trying not to get too overwhelmed by my to-do list. I really need to get out of this job. Hence the last goal listed above.
Deep breaths…4 -
@Bex953172 Glad to see you post. (((Hugs)))
@Snowflake1968 Hope you are ok! We miss you on JFT.

@pridesabtch - my dad had shoulder replacement surgery years ago. He was in his 70s and is now 92 and still pain free, golfing every day in the summer. My advice would be to work hard in PT post op- my dad got his mobility back very quickly. Good luck!
Today’s WHY- jeans 👖 🤷🏻♀️3 -

Rain and wind all day so I didn’t go to the grocery store, which means my healthy supper I was planning went out the window. Ended up grazing on crap and not logging it. Nutritionist probably isn’t going to be happy with my choices today and to be honest I don’t blame her - I’m not very happy with me either. Almost applied for a job but then lost confidence at the last minute.
I’m tired of so many bad days in a row. So why can’t I break all these bad habits?3 -
