I'm late to the game, but I hope it's ok that I jump on board! My word for the year is accountable - Not only in my health habits, but also in all the other areas of my life. I started school on February 21st, and I'm determined to not let my being out of high school for 13 years stop me from succeeding.
Daily goal for tomorrow: Monday, March 3
Welcome! Beast of luck. I’m proud of you for taking time for yourself and going back to school. It isn’t easy, but it’s worth it!4 -
JFT Monday 14th March
Stay under maintenance
Foot exercises
Walk, collect prescription

Patience, enjoy babysitting
I have grandson the next few days so won't add the extra stress of logging, but will be aware. Already this morning I've not joined him in a snack.

But today I've woken up with a full blown cold, headache, sore throat, dry cough and twinges of ear ache. It's like I've taken a frying pan to the face. So I don't know how I'm gonna ge my cleaning done today, I feel awful. Really awful.
Gonna do my best on goals today but also gonna make it easier on myself

Well yesterday went better than I thought it did.
I didn't log all my food. I probably over ate. But there's no knowing because I can't remember what I've had now 😂
I'm actually surprised how much I got done yesterday.
I was in death mode til about 2pm where I finally got myself some lunch, got some cold and flu tablets down me and boom. Energy out of nowhere and I cleaned the whole kitchen and half the pots.
I put my earphones in, helps me concentrate or else my brain just malfunctions.
I didn't start tea too early. Just a standard time. But because time tends to get away from me I usually start it late, which mean I have to do something quicker, which is normally frozen junk.
But last night we all had corned beef hash. And then jelly and ice-cream for dessert

Yesterday was delightful. We all enjoyed a fairly laid back day which was refreshing. I even had time for a soothing bath. Honestly the toughest part of this "waiting period," are the showers and baths. That's just a time to sit and actually think about this silly cyst. However, when I began to feel discouraged and sad, I hopped on JFT and reread everyone's comments. It really made me feel better and encouraged. So, again, I truly appreciate everyone's comments of support, encouragement, hugs, and prayers. 🌺
I hope everyone enjoys a fabulous day today!! ⭐🤗⭐

JFT Sunday
- church 😞
- Log
Yeah that’s it…
Just had zero motivation this weekend. I felt poorly Saturday, but Sunday I have no excuse but sheer laziness and maybe a tad bit of depression peaking in. Gotta turn that around today and the best way for me to do that is to exercise,
Didn't sleep well last night, so we'll see.

It has been almost a whole week since I last logged in. There has been so much to do! Weight has been maintaining pretty much. I managed to exercise yesterday which is good. I'm on the tail end of the task list. I'd like to journal and pray more and exercise daily. I didn't get to that today; felt tired. I hope my body is ready for loading day. DH got both of us some multivitamins; making sure we get all of the trace minerals we should be.
I do have something to celebrate in that with all the packing I've managed to keep track of particular important things throughout, staying at least somewhat organized. We will be living out of our boxes somewhat for some time while needing to meet certain deadlines/paperwork/etc, so being organized is important.
JFT/this week
Keep on task
Exercise every day
pray and journal
drink more water and tea
breathe, you will get through this
@hap2go way to go on your weight trending down!
@Snowflake1968 We move in a couple of weeks. We have dreamed of homesteading for years and thought it just wasn't going to happen. Life....God..and here we are! I know there will be challenges for sure, but those are the challenges that I'd prefer. I have never liked living in a city, just didn't have a choice. We prefer a simpler, quiet life. I think this new part of our journey will be healing and blessing for both of us, as we both prefer living this way and love the outdoors.
@littleblackskirt sorry about the cold yet again. We used to watch the grandson - although he didn't share other things, he shared bugs from nursery! I hope you feel better soon.
@MLCTX prayers
@Bex953172 (((hugs))) Sorry about the insta-mess with kids and then a big cold on top of that. Feel better soon - take care of yourself.
@pridesabtch feel better soon!
@PackerFaninGB I hope you had a really nice Sunday; good idea to do things to take your mind off of stress, especially doing things you love like sewing and gardening. I'll actually get to try gardening soon; pretty excited!
@missionalman welcome!
@cschmitz110515 Congrats on the great news from PT, happy for you on your progress and good news!
Happy birthdays to all celebrating!

So not a bad day. Could not be bothered to do the pots. Really couldn't lol.
I actually only got 9,250 steps but I've ticked it as 10K cause it's close enough, I just went bed earlier so didn't get them last few in. Plus my watch died at some point lol.
Knew I wouldn't do the exercise.
I kind of felt like doing it, I was aware at one point in the day that I had time to do it there and then but.. I didn't do it.
Ah well.

Have a great Monday y'all!
Yesterday was quite productive. I didn't ride the bike, but truth be told I didn't have the energy to do it anyway. I went to the school and painted which took about all I had in me.
Feeling a bit rough today, but plodding along.
V has a follow-up appointment for her shoulder today to gage progress. Hopefully that goes well. Tim is taking her today.
I have to get a cracked tooth repaired today after work, no looking forward to that. Then there is Bible study for which I am not prepared.
