Good morning! Still not feeling well, so I sent a message to my family doctor hoping he will have suggestions or different course of treatment to kick this stuff. It's been 2 weeks! UGH. I've also been weaning off a medication that I've taken for anxiety and depression for 10 years (since chemotherapy) which causes light-headedness and migraines so I'm guessing that isn't exactly helping either. LOL Good Lord. One day I'm going to wake up and feel good and I'm not going to know what to do! 🤗😁😃
Okay, done whining. On with my day!
@cschmitz110515 I didn't make it to to the farmer's market even once this year. I'm sad that I let another whole season pass. I need to make things a priority before I run out of seasons!
@Bex953172 I would like to watch the Netflix series you mentioned also. Just saw trailer and it looks good! I have not watched the Dahmer series yet. I just haven't gotten myself to do it...I think maybe because he lived so near to Green Bay and that just creeps me out? What a horrible thing that was. I remember watching the news as it unfolded. It was hard to believe what was happening! Also, when I was a teenager and lived in a different Wisconsin town, there was a different serial killer who had lived about an hour's drive named Ed Gein who did creepy stuff too. His house ended up being burned down, I remember. Sure makes me proud to live in WI! hahahaha! I've been binge-watching things I don't have to think much about, like seasons of The Great British Baking show and Virgin River. I've placed quite a few movies and series in My List for when I'm feeling better though. Also....NICE MAKE-UP JOB! and how fun to do with the kiddos! Happy Halloween! 🎃🧛♀️🧙♂️

@Bex953172 Love the make-up!
@PackerFanInGB I have no interest in seeing the Dahmer story... I think it being so close to home, I just can't. I hate horror movies, and creepy stuff just doesn't interest me.

Oh god of course! I think Dahmer was around Miluakee? (god how do you spell that 🤣) but I didn't realise that was near Wisconsin!
Weirdly enough I think Ed Gein was also mentioned in the series but don't quote me on that.
Haha no way do you watch Great British Bake Off! That's awesome!
I watched an American one the other day? It was on telly caller Big Bake? But Halloween themed. It was good. They made HUGE cakes!1 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. Can still have my dose of metamusal.1

Didn’t get near enough water today, and still can’t seem to stop myself from wanting all the sweet and salty junk food I can get my hands on after the work day ends.
Made progress with the editing. Just 12 pages left, but they’re in pretty rough shape and I’m too tired to make them make sense tonight. I’ll take another stab at it tomorrow.

My goals weren't exactly big yesterday, but I got them done. Today I think I'll add logging food. Yesterday was work and trick or treat. I opted for dressing as a cat. The costume hubby bought me was rather slutty (lol) so I wore a blouse and a skirt over it. Made it family friendly. The evening started off very rainy, but after about 45 minutes the rain stopped. My cat even came over to help me hand out candy. She doesn't really like people, but the crowds were small due to the weather. Usually there are cars full of people who come to our neighborhood, but last night it was just the neighborhood kids plus a few extras.
I did eat some candy, but not a lot. Still a better day than I have had in a while. Giving myself this week to get the bloat down before I weigh in and see what the actual damage is.
Not sure if I'm going to a business dinner this evening or to Bible Study... The dinner is a team thing, and will probably be more fun, but I bailed on Bible Study last week. We'll see. Maybe I'll skip both and get my nails done...

Yesterday I enrolled in the monthly Step Activity program of my new health insurance plan. Thank heaven I did this on the last day of October b/c learned I must report my activity during the current month. Earned $10 rewards card by doing so! All I have to do is walk 7,500 steps per day on 10 days each month (or 45 minutes of physical activity 10 days). With dog walks & moving hourly, this should be easy for me. I am set up to sync with my tracker. Now, I just need to remember to log in at least monthly & submit lol.

Current Solid Habits
👌🏻
i think that we all have a tendency to be too hard on ourselves, setting too many burdensome goals at once.
It’s a difficult path we tread on our quest for better health and fitness. It’s only natural that we occasionally stumble.
When this happens, we pick ourselves up and start over. We keep on striving for improvement. This is the true meaning of success.
Strive for progress!

Goals for 10/31
- 40 oz of water ❌
- Log all food ❌
- No grazing allowed ❌
- Yoga ✅
- One household chore ✅
- Finish editing WIP ❌
- Write - NaNo Day 1 ✅
- Job hunt 🤷♀️
High anxiety and low self-esteem really don’t mix well. Started grazing at about 9:30 am and continued pretty much all day. Most of my calories today probably came from crackers and chocolate - how gross is that?
Super high anxiety about this 9-day event starting tomorrow at work - I have to sound like an expert on a topic I’ve never felt like less of an expert on. And when I ask questions of the actual experts I get no response.
I know the answer is to just find a new job but if I can barely handle the one I currently have how am I good enough to jump to a whole new position and start from scratch?
I keep telling myself “one day at a time” but today was a really rough one.5 -
