    Just read back a few pages and caught up a bit. It's too late to post goals today, so I thought I'd just post a quick reply to some of you and tomorrow I can hop on and list some goals.

    @pridesabtch I missed your 50th birthday! Happy belated birthday! Hope your 90-day proficiency review went well.

    @beachwalker99 I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's divorce situation and the toll it is taking on you. It's terribly hard to keep emotions in check when our children are being hurt and manipulated so badly. I have 3 children who have all been through it, and they were hurt so badly. It broke my heart, and it was difficult to keep my own health up during that time. Try to remember that you can't help anyone else without first taking care of yourself. Also, if it helps, all 3 of my children are in a much happier healthier place now....as are my grandchildren. Deep breaths. She is lucky to have you and your husband nearby to help. (((HUGS)))

    @more_freggies76 I wish I were as self-disciplined as you! Your posts inspire me to do better.

    @Snowflake1968 I'm sorry to hear you're in pain. It's like a never-ending circle, isn't it? For me it's like....I don't move enough because I'm in pain--part of the reason I'm in pain is because I emotionally eat--I emotionally eat because I am in pain and overweight. Round and round we go... I joined the No BS Weightloss program and it is helping me to catch and challenge my thoughts and the emotional eating. I've not lost all the physical weight yet, but boy have I ever lost a ton of emotional weight! I hope you feel better soon, my friend.

    @Bex953172 Congrats on losing 22.5 lbs! "Mindless Mindfulness" ! I love it. That should be the title of your first book.... :lol: How are the girls doing?

    @RuthanneBowers I think talking to a friend you haven't talked to in a year is a huge accomplishment....maybe your most important one that day! I need to do this. I keep telling myself I'm going to reach out to friends and relatives but then I never do. :flowerforyou:

    @pamperedlinny There sure are a lot of cold bugs and flu going around. I hope you feel better soon! My head is just starting to clear up and I got sick on September 17th! Crazy stuff...just doesn't want to go away.

    @TerriRichardson112 Hello! Congrats on finishing out September in the middle of your range! :flowerforyou:

    Hey all! I'm back. I essentially had a lot of excuses followed by legit emergencies all throughout this summer and I disappeared from the boards entirely. So.... I'm back and trying to get my butt in gear again. Starting simple with my goals as it's been a while since I really made any.

    JFT:
    👸Log food all day
    👸No coffee before 8am
    👸No food before 10am
    👸No food after 8pm
    👸Drink at least 80 oz of water
    👸At least 6000 steps on fitbit
    👸Talk to contractor about issues they didn't fix (I hate confrontation)

    I made this commitment on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon I had a scratchy throat and wasn't feeling 100%. By yesterday morning my over the counter test was positive for C. So...... I'll try restarting my commitments again next week when I can leave the house and don't feel so miserable.
    I hope it’s a mild dose, and you recover quickly. And thank you for staying home. So many people are blasé about C and other infections. They seem oblivious common sense about keeping germs to yourself.

    DH and I are still impacted by the bout we had last December.

    Haha, "Chapter 1: Not sure how, but it happened" 😂

    God what a cr@p book that would be 😂 But that had made my day.

    Girls are all good, Saskia will be 10 in January, can you believe that?!
    Marleys 7, Casey's 5 and 6 in Feb.

    That sweet beautiful baby I've been posting all that time has turned into the devil child 😂
    She's so bad with her emotions it's unreal. That's hard to teach to a kid but we're getting there.

I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. 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. Break? What break? *sigh*
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    Good day, JFT friends! Happy Monday! I am starting to feel human again, so that’s awesome. It’s nice to be able to breathe through my nose again…just sayin’. 😊

    I weighed myself on Sunday, and I was only down 0.2 lbs, but I was actually quite pleased the number went down rather than up. I’m finally out of the 180’s for the past 3 or 4 weeks, but I was convinced I blew it because I’ve not been drinking my water, and I’ve not been stopping when I’ve eaten enough. So seeing the scale still under 180 and down another 0.2 lbs helped my resolve to keep going this week. New day, new week, right?

    I started a challenge on Saturday from a Weightloss group I belong to called #365DaysOfWalking. I hesitated to join because I’m not exactly known for my follow through for stuff like this, but today will be Day 3 of 365, so hopefully I just keep my momentum up and do it. It would be so healthy for me. I’ve gotten so darn lazy since retiring! But to be honest, the only reason I went on Day 1 was because I couldn’t let myself fail already on Day 1, so it’s going to be an uphill battle for awhile I suspect. 😬🤦🏻‍♀️

    Have a great day everyone!

    Just for Today, 10/16/24

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.
