    Nervous because I'm going to my friends house for dinner and I only have 1300 calories left. I have no idea what she will serve me but I know I will eat a lot because her food is DELICIOUS, and I still need to have lunch and snacks. Can't go for another walk and there's not much other exercise I can do at the moment. I wish I had some money so I could go for a swim.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Yesterday went so much better. Dunno if it was the sermon on Wednesday or the phone calls I made yesterday or just coincidence. Happy Friday!
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    I will walk at least 5000 steps, make a soup and eat slightly less than I did yesterday to make up for going over by 600 calories.

    @sugarfreesquirrel - Sounds like a good plan. Just move on and don't let it ruin your whole day. 600 calories isn't too bad! We have to learn to roll with the punches some. :)

    Thank you! I kicked butt today, got a good long walk in and am now eating healthy. Not sure if the soup will happen.

    Back from vacation with my daughter and her boys but not back on track yet. We all had a wonderful time kayaking and crabbing on the Eastern Shore, getting golf lessons from my father-in-law in Annapolis, and exploring Fort McHenry and the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Perhaps most fun of all was the epic three-generation pillow fight we had on the last night at the hotel. The kids definitely won, but with all that's been going on this year, I think it was cathartic for the adults.

    Overall, I got lots of exercise, but I also ate lots of very yummy food. I need to get back to healthy habits, but I'm planning to stay in vacation mode and hold reality at bay for a few more days. My younger son and his partner are coming down for the weekend, so my only goals are to relax and enjoy their company.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    This week has been mentally trying. V send to be adjusting well to college life, but the house seems really empty. Today we are doing the local Celebration of Life for my friend Michele. I prepped food and drinks, but still feel very empty and weepy. We’ll see if the fake eyelashes can stand up to the tears.
