Spring has really sprung! Hubby and I have been greatly enjoying all the migrating birds finally back north & taking advantage of our feeders: orioles, rose breasted grosbeaks, hummingbirds, indigo buntings, goldfinches. Plus I saw a pileated woodpecker (huge bird) on our crabapple tree. In addition to enjoying the usual birds: cardinals (one of my favorites), blue jays, sparrows, house finches, robins. I even like watching the squirrels, chipmunks & bunnies munching on the seeds that fall to the ground.
Not the greatest photo, but four indigo buntings at one feeder last night:
More signs of spring:
Save the bees!

- registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
- registered for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
- will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
- will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced

- watch for other events to add
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 basement3 -

Had a good day today not ate the best. But I don't mind really. I don't feel like I've over ate, just what I have had hasn't exactly been healthy.
Went straight from school to my friend's house for her 2 year olds birthday that was fun. Kids just played and the adults chatted haha
I was actually skint so I made her daughter a teddy comforter.
Got home, let the dog out and the neighbour shouted over to see if I wanted to see some puppies. I did. Hahaha she's pet sitting 3 XL bullys for 3 weeks they're so cute!!!

Today is the first hot muggy day of the year. I'm craving ice cream! I have 300 calories left if I eat back all my exercise. Hmm.1

We went to our municipal museum this morning to see an exhibition about the estate where we visited the walled garden on Wednesday. I think DH was intending us to have coffee in the cafe, but I made us coffee before we went as we had already had ☕️ + 🍰 out twice this week. Went for a walk in the grounds of Town Hall (Bangor Castle) which used to be a stately home.

I've been taking a break from posting goals until I could get my pituitary meds refilled. Six weeks without medication and it doesn't look like I will get them any time soon. I am beyond miserable, and going without my injections has kicked me into full-blown diabetes.
I feel like a HUGE failure after keeping diabetes at bay for 18 years, but there is not much that I can do except slash my carb intake drastically. I can barely get out of bed, so exercise is pretty much out, but I am trying to do some walking every day.

Azulvioleta6 that sounds awful. But try not to beat yourself up for the past. All you can do is start again from where you are every day. Try to make this day a good day considering the limitations. And good luck getting your meds!2
-
@azulvioleta6 - @Anniesquats100 is absolutely right. Just start today making a few minor changes and build up. Hang in there!
We took our dog to the emergency room about 9 pm last night and they couldn't see her until 3pm (in the triage room). When they saw her it was 3am and we had waited in the parking lot that whole time. Vet emergency rooms and vets are really over capacity right now. Anyway, they looked her over and said she may have a snake bite. They sent us home and now we're waiting for an update. We might even lose her, since she's already 11 years old. My emotional state and physical state is horrible. I'm not going to make daily goals today, but play it by ear.
Hour commitment - Had my coffee stuff a few minutes early and now I won't eat until a good time for lunch presents itself.5 -
@more_freggies76 so sorry to hear about your dog's snake bite. Wow that was a long wait for an emergency! Hope she is doing better.0

Ice lolly instead of ice-cream? Cause they're mostly juice/water surely they must be less calories.
Or even better, frozen yogurt x I'm sure that's less calories too 1 -
@Bex953172 I had a So Delicious non dairy mocha almond fudge bar for 180 calories. Small, but quite tasty!
I don't handle milk very well, so my usual "ice cream" is Ben& Jerry's non-dairy Cherry Garcia which is about 320 calories a 2/3 cup serving. That's part of what makes Sundays so difficult for me! I should try some substitutes. Thanks for the ideas!

Just for Friday (5-13-22)- Make 24H Plan and assess yesterday's
- Drink 64 oz water by refilling my MSQC tumbler x4 Drank coffee too late into the day.
- Intentional Activity either walking or Body Groove Closed rings on my Activity watch. Was done by being active cleaning in house though.
- Prayer Journal / Gratitude Journal / MP Journal
- TYB Course - more of module 1
- Bills/Budget - ongoing Procrastinate horribly when it comes to this.
- Attach binding to Tim's quilt OR Cut fabric for table topper Finally finished Tim's lapquilt!
Not my best day, but could've certainly been worse! I didn't stick to my planned foods, but I did pay attention to whether I was hungry vs bored or emotional before I ate. I ate only when hungry and I stopped at enough, without overeating. So that was a big win for me!
Today, I have been sitting on my butt since I woke up. I was on the phone most of the morning, actually. So it's time to get moving and come up with a plan because it would be very easy for me to just watch Netflix all day...
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
Just for Saturday- Create 24H plan and assess yesterday's
- 64 oz water
- Close Activity rings on watch
- Cut fabric for wall hanging or start quilt for Maddie's couch
- Podcasts / Readings / Journal
- Bake cookies and/or banana bread if we don't go out in boat
- Bills / Budget DO THIS!!!!! STOP PROCRASTINATING!
- Start paperwork for Tuesday's Dr. Appt
- Early to bed
WOTY 2022: Intentional My goal in 2022 is to get intentional exercise and to be intentional in my food choices.

@cschmitz110515 You have such a great variety of birds in your hard. The indigo buntings are my favorite and I've not seen any since we moved to town 8 years ago. These are the little things I miss about living in the country!
@Bex953172 You made that teddy bear blanket? That is adorable!!! You could sell those on Etsy! So cute!
@Anniesquats100 Congratulations on the weight loss! You go girl!
@azulvioleta6 I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell! That sounds awful! Nobody should be without meds that long! I hope you get them soon. I agree with @more_freggies76 and @anniesquats100 about the diabetes. Make your next best decision and leave the past in the past. :flowerforyou:
@more_freggies76 I'm so sorry to hear about your dog! That is so scary. Do you live in an area with poisonous snakes? I'd be really worried about my dog if we did. She'd go after anything in our yard. I sure hope they call soon and tell you she/he is fine and that you can go get them! <HUGS>0 -
I'm sharing a picture of my husband holding up the lap quilt I finally finished. It has 101 mistakes in it but I'm pretty excited because I did the quilting of it on my home machine this time and that's the first time I've done that. It was a learning experience for sure.

Thank you all for your comments. Actually they don't have evidence of a snake bite, but there is a lot of pus and so they' re going to see if something is in the leg, like a foxtail (I hate those).
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm, except my dose of metamusal.3 -

Well I had a lazy day and read a bit instead of going after my other list. I did well on diet and exercise, though. Yay!
Sunday dinner with my parents makes the calorie limit a challenge. Sometimes I miss it, but if I do, I won't lose all control. If I am hungry at night I will eat something nutritious. Overloading on sugar won't help my goals.
JFT Sunday
1. No candy
2. No cookies
3. Eat under calorie limit

Haha see! You're amazed at what I can crochet and I'm amazed at that quilt! I love it so much!
Haha dya think people would buy them of Etsy? I wouldn't even know what price to sell them at.
I would like to sell some crochet stuff but it's so time consuming making them
That took me 4 days? Doing 30 mins to an hour each time.
My teddy bear blanket had mistakes too, but only you will really notice them.
When I gave it to my friend's daughter, her dad thought I'd bought it from the shop (until my friend asked me if I made it because she knows i crochet) and then he was like what you made that? You MADE that?!?
Haha I was like yep. Haha it's so easy though but people get amazed.lol.
I'm not good at taking compliments. I always feel awkward hahaha4
