Hello! Back on MFP. I threw out my back the other day just by coughing. I read about how to recover, and it said I need to exercise and stretch.
I have been a lazy bum for ages, with a love for cheese, and noodles with runny eggs.
I don't like the way that I feel, and it's time I get motivated again!!!
Feel free to add me. I don't remember how to do it! I am 31 with 40 lbs to lose. Thank you!
JFT-
1. Track my food
2. Take a walk
3. Duolingo
4. Puzzles for my brain
5. Stretch!!!!
6. No bevvies
Yesterday went very well! Did a 9 mile walk. Only thing I didn't do was Duolingo.
So just for Wednesday:
1. Track my food
2. Take a walk
3. Duolingo or crochet, or Hey - Both!
4. Puzzles for my brain
5. Stretch!!!!
6. No (alky) bevvies
7. Chew more thoroughly
8. Make healthy dinner again
I'm really enjoying cooking at home again. For some reason, I always thought I'd get a pitiful amount of food if I cooked from scratch, so I'd get premade meals because I thought the effort wouldn't be worth it.
But actually, wow we both got a ton of salad these last few days! And it's all fresh!
Feel free to add me if you'd like. I don't know how to add people on here anymore!
Did everything yesterday, except for the Duolingo/Crochet again lol!
Todays Goal
1. Half an hour walk
2. Chew thoroughly
3. Very minimal grazing at work (pastry chef here. I'm happy with not eating my items actually. It's the leftover bacon and chips that get me!!!!! People need to stop leaving pickles laying around too, lol!)
4. Puzzles
5. Stretch
6. Strength workout
7. Watch my posture4 -

Take it easy y'all!
Yesterday was tough. As I said yesterday the Alzheimer's diagnosis hit me hard yesterday, then mom had an episode where she decided she was going to be sued and that she needed to take all of her money out of her retirement account. Luckily I have power of attorney and her financial institution is small enough that they look out for her and call me when she sets up appointments without me. There is no law suit, there is no reason for her to move funds, but it's difficult to explain to her. She is angry with me now, but I guess that is just going to be par for the course. This was my afternoon... Then I had to go to a viewing for a dear friend who died way too young. Her husband is just so lonely... Her daughter seemed to be handling it well. She is only 18, but her mom has been sick most of her life. I'm glad she is no longer in pain, but boy is the world less bright without her.
Anyway, today is a long day already. My weight is up for the last 3 days straight, which is really annoying, I have been stress eating a bit, but not that much. Work today, with important meetings. I'm going to miss the funeral because of said meetings, then I have to unload the haul we got at SAM's last night (it was raining didn't want to unload it), then we are going to go play trivia. Should be a fun evening. I need a little fun.

I met my goals but also had a panic attack because of how far behind I am at work. I have about 30 reports due by Wednesday of next week, and a packed weekend planned so no chance to actually breathe.
Also the antibiotics that were supposed to help my stomach issues actually made me worse because my system won’t tolerate them, and now I can’t get the doctor to call me back to talk about what the next step is. I don’t even know if I want to know, but now the burden is on me to do the follow-up and give myself something else to stress over.
I know the only way out is to just push through but I’m pretty much at the limit of what I can take and it feels like the hits just keep on coming.

Things with mom seem to be going down hill rapidly, or maybe this is just a specific incident triggered by the doctor's appointment earlier this week. Her neighbor called the house yesterday to tell us that she is preoccupied and convinced she is going to be sued for a car accident that didn't happen. That she will lose her house, her car and her license. I should have gone over yesterday, but I didn't. I was already super stressed and my patience was low, it wouldn't have gone well. That and I had already told her I'd be over today. I'm making some calls today so that I can reassure her that nothing is happening, but I dread the conversation. She is already angry with me about her money and the fact that I won't let her take all of it out of her retirement fund. I'm not cut out for this... but I'm all she has and I will do my best to protect her even if it means she hates me.
On an up note I got my hair done yesterday so no more gray. Also went out to dinner and trivia. We came in 2nd, but the first place team had 9 players vs just the 2 of us. I drank some which I don't usually do, but I just needed to let down a little.
So today in addition to work things, I need to call the Vienna Police Dept and see if there is a record of the incident my mom is referring to, and record that there was no accident. It was a weird incident and I can see how it confused her, but there was no accident. I already called the insurance company to verify there were no claims. Boy I dread going to her place after work.
When I get home I need to make pepperoni rolls for my daughter in Pittsburgh. We are going up to see her row tomorrow and she requested the snack.

Thanks for the bday & retirement wishes! It's been a busy week & I haven't been posting JFT, but think I have a plan that will work. Hopefully after a.m. workout (either dog walk or PT exercises), breakfast, then coffee & daily devotion with hubby, then maybe computer time? We'll see how this goes.
@pridesabtch So sorry about your mom's diagnosis, she's very fortunate to have you, but praying the road won't be too bumpy. Also, sorry about your dear friend.
@clicketykeys Condolences on your fur baby. May you have many wonderful memories.
@Bex953172 Thanks for all the info on Orion, I didn't know most of that. I usually look for the belt. With winter on the way, we'll be able to see it later in the evenings soon.
@emgracewrites (((hugs))) as you go through this.
@krishjaye Welcome to JFT! I love pastry, and admire that your items don't tempt you. I find cooking at home is much healthier for me, and I try to have volume in my foods so that I fill up. Thankful that neither hubby nor I mind eating leftovers.

3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.

8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
