Stay under maintenance yes
Only one snack yes
Walk (with friend, so I will do it) 50 minutes
Finish work ironing yes
I also managed to do some weeding and planted some seeds, better late than never. Spinach and lettuce as well as some flowers. I wanted to do some more gardening in the evening, but my neighbour phoned me to tell me to close my doors, there was a huge swarm of angry wasps in a neighbour's garden. Almost everyone in the street were looking out at them. So too scary to go outside. I wish I knew where they went when they dispersed, I'm allergic to wasp stings.
Today I 'm going to take it easy with not too much bending, as I'm aching after yesterday. I need to go out, might make myself go to the garden centre as well.

Happy Wednesday y'all!
Sierra made it home safely yesterday and we talked for hours. It was really nice hearing about her year, except that she told me she went through a severe depressive episode. She did finally reach out for help, thank goodness. She lost 25 pounds in 1 month, she only weighs 115 on a good day. It broke my heart, but I stayed upbeat and encouraged her to continue seeing her therapist over the summer. I didn't want her to see my pain. It really is one of my biggest fears. My problems got worse when I went to college and I really don't want that for her. I blame myself in a way because my family has such a strong history of mental illness. I wasn't diagnosed until after I had kids, and though my mom and grandmother were both nuts, nothing was ever said or diagnosed. I often wonder if I would have still had kids if I'd known I was such a mess. I just love my girls so much I don't want them to have to live through what I have. Hopefully, now that both are in therapy at a relatively young age, things won't get as out of hand as they did with me. I didn't share this with my hubby, because I just don't know how or if she wants me to. It will break him in two. She is daddy's little girl.
As for the rest of the day, it was pretty great. V was really happy with her birthday gifts, dinner and brownies.
Today, I'm just doing the work thing and then going home and doing the mom thing. Don't feel like making goals for today...

Awh I'm sorry you feel that your history of mental health is being passed on through your children. Maybe it has but it doesn't make it your fault.
The resources and understanding of mental health is much more recognised than it used to be. And although it's hard for us parents I'm sure they will make it through it and be strong with the right support, which it sounds like they have. And with you having been through it yourself atleast you have a very good understanding too and know what they need to help them. I've always admired the stories you tell us about your kids. They sound amazing and you should give yourself credit for the wonderful girls you've raised despite you're own struggles Xx
I really need to get Marley booked in for an ADHD assessment because more and more things are becoming recognisable.
I just need to get off by fat butt and get her registered at the Dr. (Somehow they missed her application when I got everyone else joined up)4 -

After the races I went an bought some new plant stands for outside then went to the local farm/greenhouse and bought some baskets of flowers for outside. Once Tim and I finished that, we went for a bike ride. That pretty well sums up the weekend, food was iffy, but the weekend was good.
Today I have to audit ALLLLLL day long. It's lunch time now. I grabbed a healthy bag of Cheez-its (lol) and thought I'd check in. After work if it stops raining I may do some yard work if it is raining maybe I'll clean the floors downstairs (that was on hubby's weekend list, but he wasn't feeling great).
How cool is that???!! You must feel so proud!
I had to laugh at your Cheez-Its comment because they have been taunting me and winning for about a month now! They magically jump into my grocery cart and sometimes at night they jump into baggies and wind up in my hand while I'm reading at bedtime. Sneaky little suckers....

Oh, and I got my medicine yesterday! I feel like a bit of a survivor! Feeling better already, should be a lot more energetic in 3 or 4 days.

@azulvioleta6 yay for getting your meds!
I had a lovely lunch. Turns out the salmon burger had more calories than MFP listed, so I had a mushroom burger without cheese, but with bun and barbecue sauce and, of course, fries. I logged my best guess, and I'm less than a hundred over limit for today, including a yogurt for dinner! Not bad!5 -

From what I know about you.. you are one of the best moms. Don't ever blame yourself for your daughters mental illness. I do not have mental illness, yet my daughter has schizoaffective bipolar. For years I blamed myself for causing this. I thought it was something that I did in parenting her, until I realized so many others in my family suffered from the same mental illness. It was in the genes .. there was nothing I could do to stop her from having this. Like you, I thought if I had known all this I would not have had children. But like you, I love my kids so much, and I would not trade that for anything.
This is something that is no one's fault. Mental illness is so hard to explain, and so many have it. You should be very very proud of your daughter for getting the help that she needs, seeing a therapist. She is a beautiful girl.. she has a beautiful caring mother. Hugs to you! With your support, I know she will be OK.4 -
I've not been on here posting goals, nor even reading for awhile. But .. I am watching my food intake, and I'm hoping the scale will show a loss tomorrow.
we have been very busy.. just been away from my computer for awhile on purpose. I think sometimes I just needed a break!
Love you .. will post goals tomorrow!
But I have been doing OK on my exercise challenge2 -

Yay! I had an excellent day! I have 14 calories left, near as I can tell. I actually didn't use the extra 900 calories I had saved up. I exercised, and I skipped dinner entirely. I did have my eggs for breakfast, and a yogurt snack, besides the lunch burger and fries. So maybe the scale will be kind to me. The plan is to skip weighing tomorrow, and weigh Saturday instead.
JFT Friday
1. No candy
2. No cookies
3. Eat under calorie limit
4. Yoga
5. Fast marching video if my knee is okay
6. Clean my desk

Had a busy day yesterday. Didn't manage to sort the bank out. Got too many other things going on and I'm sick of banks lol. I'll get round to it.
So I had my back up plan ready with the foodbank voucher. And had organised a lift of my SIL Amy so I didn't have to walk it. (When you're not in a car, they tend to give you less so you can carry it all)
Although she let me down last minute, not her fault, she was poorly during the night and basically couldn't keep off the toilet.
Luckily my two friends said they'd walk with me and help with the bags. It was a 30 minute walk to foodbank. I was knackered. My friend had the genius idea.of stealing a trolley from the supermarket over the road 🤣 and that we did and we wheeled it all the way abck to my house 😅😅 sorry not sorry. Needs must.
Anyway, got all the food away. Fed the dog straight away. Poor thing was hungry. He had ate but not proper dog food and not nearly enough.
Go another busy day of phonecalls today to various bills chasing us. Everyone's gonna have to wait. If I can't afford food, then I sure can't afford to pay the debts and every ones getting told that today.
Also giving a ring to ash's doctor. For too long he has been fobbed off with his health and just gets given different tablets every time. He needs a re-evaluation of what his disorders actually are by a proper psychiatrist. Today they'll be getting a piece of my mind and I won't be getting off the phone until they've done everything I've asked for.
Anyway, well within my calories yesterday and actually ate enough to complete diary unlike the day before.
And that trip to the foodbank (Inc school runs too) got me to 17k steps!4 -

@azulvioleta6 - So glad to hear you finally got your meds. Hope you feel much better soon.
@pridesabtch - The college years can be really rough. So sorry your daughter had a mental health crisis, but I'm glad to hear she reached out for help. It's great that she feels comfortable talking to you. We can't help what we pass on through our genes, but we can offer support and model an appropriate response. Your daughter is so fortunate she has you.
@Bex853172 - A correct diagnosis can make all the difference, so I hope Ash gets the care he needs.

Overnight we had thunderstorms, and dog was very nervous with thunder & wind. I ended up going downstairs to basement with her, which helps calm her. I put a blanket over her on the couch (which she loves) and watched more Downton Abbey marathon at 2 a.m. for half hour. Then upstairs to bed for me, dog stayed. Just couldn't get up this morning for alarm. However, Kitty let me know her breakfast was late. No dog walk & no PT exercises. Sigh. At least both rain barrels should be full, I need to water houseplants.
Work environment (mainly dept mgmt) has been a real pain in the *kitten* lately, and I'm so happy it's Friday. Counting the days to retirement this fall. Gets more real in my mind every time I let someone know.

2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
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 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

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 basement2 -

I had to go back almost 7 pages to try and catch up. Other than briefly skimming the posts, I am so far behind. If I don't post in the evenings, I just don't seem to get it done, so I have to make sure and write in the evenings.
But just getting on here quickly before I get started working.
Even though I'm not posting daily, I am doing good with my exercise, and I am committed to get my AIC and weight down. So at least for this week, I am doing good.
I always have oatmeal with raisins for breakfast .. swapped out blueberries for the raisins (Read that raisins have a lot of sugar). So I'm just trying to swap out things that are not as healthy .. like brown rice instead of pasta or potatoes! And hubby and I are trying NOT to lay down after dinner in the evenings.
Hubby tells me to stop snacking completely in the evenings.. which I know for me is my hardest habit to break, but at least this week, I have done really good.I think it helps that I'm trying to get a evening walk in.. and being busy has helped. I'm always busy, but it was the mindless grabbing stuff. So now if I do snack, its a apple, orange, or protein drink. My goal was to start June at 198 .. I am at 197.6 (So yay, out of the 200s!). If I can keep this up, by November I can be back at my goal weight of 175!
Seems like a long ways off .. but its one day at a time
I will try and catch up tonite on all I've missed!
May challenge
Goal 1: 60+ min of exercise at least 5 days per week
