Got a few things done yesterday, but mostly just snuggled with the dog. He is sad and wouldn't eat yesterday. Guess we aren't the only ones who miss Boomer. Hubby did the laundry, not me. I cleaned bathrooms.
Totally overwhelmed at work again. Just when I get a handle on something, they add another new aspect. This time we had a new administrative assistant who was learning the PPAP, CoA system in SAP. She quit after one week, so now it's mine. I have zero time. I have a 3-4 hour management review to do on Thursday, some of which I can't find data for, and I need to create a dashboard... *kitten*, I don't know how to do that. To top it all off, they asked me to work on a display case. I said no, but then the manager came back with a "you really should" so I guess I will. I really don't think they would have asked if a man were in my position. ARRRRGH!
House cleaning after work today assuming I ever leave today...

Goals for 9/6
- minimum 1300 calories ❌
- Minimum 32 oz of water ✅
- Yoga ❌
- Job hunt ❌
- grocery store ✅
Today sucked. Had a random anxiety attack in the middle of the day so had to push some of my work stuff off to tomorrow. Then went to 2 different grocery stores and still wasn’t able to get everything on my list. Also realized after I got home that I don’t own a corkscrew to open the bottle of wine I bought to use in a recipe, so I get to go back to the store again tomorrow. Yay 😞4 -

Morning all!
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.4 -
Yesterday 9/6. Turned out to be a poor day in terms of focus, productivity and achievements. Did not accomplish any of my goals. Tried my best to focus at work but was really in a mental slump. The only thing that’s driving any results is impending deadlines. Feeing rather stale professionally. Perhaps it was the grey rainy day and my very cold office. On the plus side, it was a good day with connecting with all my family members. Everyone is healthy and there was no drama.
So, I will set the reset the bar again for today try the same goals again today 9/7
1. Begin a modest but progressive strength training program today.
2. Keep cals under 1500 net
3. 20 mins of guitar practice.
4. Bring best self to work today.
5. One hour of shop time and guitar build with son.

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.

- Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
- will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me b/c I love train events)
- watch for other events to add
- 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
9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done0 -
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. We’re currently having lunch at the beach.

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 -

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.
- More meetings to finish out the day
- Dinner at home
- Watch some tennis
- Bed by 10:30
