Well, I posted on Thursday, did not complete my goal of logging and now it's Sunday 🤭
So err.. that went well?
It's already Sunday evening, I'm just waiting for my roast dinner to finish. Did roasted pork shoulder for the first time and think I actually succeeded with the crackling. Not that I eat it, but still, an achievement 😂
I'm gonna log on again in the morning and try stick to my "Log All Good" goal.
I've got a very busy week though. Lots of appointments and things to do!

I'm on day 3 of FAST800 and I feel weak. Is that normal? Yesterday I might have consumed about 1000 cal, not 800cal because I was so hungry and tired.
I don't think I'm in ketosis yet because I haven't been super strict with carb. So not keto flu.
I have to persevere through this phase to adapt.
What do you guys do in this phase usually?
I’ve done very low calorie diets before, and lack of energy was something I couldn’t get over. 800 - 1000 calories was not pleasant or maintainable. I’ve also done very low carb, but with sufficient calories. That felt good for many years, but again I found the restriction not maintainable in the long run. MFP calorie counting does work without all of the restrictions. Good Luck!

Ha, it Monday morning and only just realised I said "log all GOOD"
Well I'm not logging any food (or anything "good" for that matter) as I've woken up with a cough/cold. Feel like rotten.
I don't mind so much about the cough but I hate headaches, I don't deal with headaches very well.
I don't have any pain killers in, will have to grab some in a bit.
There's some kids medicine but I'd probs have to drink half the bottle to get an adult dose 😂3 -
Pulled my head out of the sand this morning and weighed myself. Well after I tried on my new jeans that wouldn't button... I've gained back most of what I lost last year, but I'm not stressing over that. It was a rough year for me and my family. Lots of changes too. Now that I'm nearly 50, I really need to buckle down. I'm not going to try any hard core diets, just want to track and reduce while increasing my exercise. The exercise has actually been going pretty well lately, I'm just not watching my intake. That is an easy fix, if I just do it.
Today I had an early work meeting, then work stuff, let dog out at lunch, then I need to return my jeans, then go to my MIL and pick up some of my husband's old running shirts to make a quilt. Well to send to someone to make a quilt... May try to go for a walk as well.2 -

I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.
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. I am exhausted in a way that I cannot adequately express.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.1 -

Got everything done yesterday, but doubt I'll get my run in today. I need to take my mom to the eye doctor after work and by the tie I get home it will likely be dark or at least dusk making it unsafe to run in my area. Other things on the agenda for today are to do work stuff & log food.
Oh my 401K rollover finally got done, of course they messed it up and it looks like I have twice as much money as I should. I contacted them and though I like having a bunch of extra money, it isn't real. Oh well, at least they found the money... Also lost my glasses at work yesterday as I was auditing out in the area. I tried to retrace my steps to no avail. Luckily, I have to go to the eye doctor with mom today and hopefully I can get a new pair ordered plus some more contacts. I only have like 3 pair of daily use left.2 -

Hi everyone. Went to the doctor today and he put me on antibiotics for sinuses. I think the Covid is clearing up but infection settled in my sinuses apparently. Hopefully these meds kick in quickly and I can get off my butt and have a life again. 🤦🏻♀️🤧😁
Hope everyone is having a nice day! I’m hoping to go back and catch up a few pages at a time. I hope all is well with the group! ☀️🌼🌻

Early & late day yesterday. Work was busy, but not bad. Meetings started at 6:30am. Then a full day of tasks. After work I had to leave and take mom to the eye doctor. Not a pleasant experience. After that it was back to work from 6:30 - 8:00pm to deliver a safety pause to the evening shift. Finally got home a tad after 8:00 and hubby and I decided to go out for Mexican food. Things were looking up, then we got a text that his mom had to go to the ER. First they were going to Belpre Hospital, then they decided Camden Clark, then it changed back to Belpre, and finally her status was not good so they had to go to the closest which was Camden. We drove back and forth each time, still beating the ambulance there as the 2 hospitals are only 5 miles apart. Ugh...
MIL had a biopsy on her liver & and adrenal gland yesterday afternoon, apparently this lead to internal bleeding around the liver. When she arrived at the ER around 10pm her BP was like 65/30. Very scary. They got her stabilized with IVs and a couple units of blood. She was sent for a CT to confirm the internal bleeding. Around 1:00am they transported her by ambulance to yet another hospital, the one where she had the biopsy earlier in the day. Around 3:30am they began the procedure to stop the bleed. At this point, hubby decided I should go home. I got home around 4:00 this morning, and he went back to the hospital. The procedure went well and he was able to come home around 5:00. He was able to call off today, but I needed to come in to work. There was zero chance that I wanted to get up at 7:00am this morning, but I did.
Now it is meeting after meeting today, followed by psych appointment. Yay. Should be trivia night, but I doubt I'll go. Goals today are few and far between. Eat well, log, nap...

Here I am, trying once again to get back on track after a string of busy and stressful days. My daughter's divorce is dragging on, and the constant disrespect, manipulation, and emotional abuse she's dealing with are really taking a toll. The sluggish pace of the NJ family courts isn't helping. This past weekend's nasty surprise was particularly mean and came on the heels of the judge's decision not to hear my daughter's motion for a temporary arrangement that would allow her and her boys to move out. My husband and I are doing our best to support her and the boys in any way we can. We don't mind rearranging our priorities, but there's an emotional toll as well. So my healthy intentions went out the window again....
At least coming back here and reading your posts helps me to reset. I didn't set goals yesterday, but I did manage to get out and walk - good for my head as well as my body. The weather has been lovely, so I'd like to get out again today. But I really should go down to see my mom after class. And clean my house. And comment on drafts. So much to do.
