    OMG @Bex953172 I love Bluey! Although it took me months to realise Bluey is a girl, I though she was a boy lol. Bluey and Waffle the Wonder Dog (he talks) are my favourites. Grandson is also obsessed with Dog Squad, which is about service dogs, so we do try to see that.

    Yes things were very different "back then". When I was a small child we didn't have a TV, and when we did get one there were no kids programmes on in the evening. The only one I remember is the Magic Roundabout just before the 6 o'clock news. When my boys were kids we had TV, but nothing else. It was a big change when video players came on the market, the first time we could choose to time watching something.

    As for telephones, we got our first phone when I was a teenager and it was a shared line. So if you picked it up and the neighbours were talking you had to put it down and wait until they were finished. We were very accepting back then lol.

    Hahah omg the magic roundabout! Haha don't! That was still on in the 90s 😂

    And can't believe the phone thing! Imagine you had a chatty neighbour lol I'd hate that, I thought the internet Vs phoneline was bad enough!

    Today really wasn’t very good. Work was crap, then my healthy eating plan went out the window because my stove apparently needs new burners in addition to the drip pans I had to wait 3 weeks for. $30 worth of groceries I just bought, a week’s worth of healthy meals planned, and I can’t cook any of it - ended up going to Chick-fil-A instead (more money) and now I’m going to have to pay my landlord yet more money to order new burners just so I can feel safe cooking in my own kitchen.

    And I feel like I’ve done nothing but eat all day but just logged my food and it turns out my calorie count is way too low. Didn’t drink enough water either, or knock out anything on my to-do list. So yeah, pretty much feeling like a total failure today.

    Oo I hate them kind of days where life just throws a curveball!
    Don't feel like a failure, that sounds like one heck of a day and pretty much out of your control.
    I hope your new burners get sorted out quick.

    Well I was impressed with myself yesterday. I got everyone's clothes folded and put away (apart from mine but they're in a neat pile still) that sounds like a small job but in reality it was about 2 weeks worth of washing that I hadnt put away, so about 4-5 large baskets of laundry.
    And then I started on more washing 😂😂
    I then tidied all of the girls room, didn't expect to do that it just sort of happened.
    Managed to fill a large bin bag of clothes for charity. Tidied our room with help from Ash.
    Then I nipped to the shop to get pizzas for tea.
    Then after that I did the kids a treat of ice-cream, sweets and coca cola.
    In hindsight I should of saved that for Friday because they were up for ages but they missed out on treats over the weekend cause we were low on money so I felt they deserved it.
    Got them to bed, then Ash wanted McDonalds, so I got one of them too.

    So I got absolutely loads done. I know I ate rubbish food but that's ALL I've ate, half a pizza, McDonalds and a croissant.
    The rest was coffee.
    Coffee all morning and day right up til tea time which is probably why I got so much done 😅

    Not sure what my plan is today but I'll find something to do. X

    Not the greatest day, but not as bad as it looks. I did well during the day, but had a few drinks with dinner. Basically I was meeting hubby at the restaurant at 7:30 after I got my nails done and after he finished yoga. I got there around 7:25, sat at the bar to wait for him and had a drink. Apparently his class was a 90 minute class not a 60 minute class. Anyway, I ended up having a couple of drinks while I waited. Had a grilled salmon salad for dinner and skipped the dinner rolls so that was good.

    We went to a therapy session yesterday to talk about our daughter and how to deal with it in a healthy way. For me particularly, I have a lot of guilt around the genetic aspect of bipolar disorder. Knowing I passed this down to my daughter breaks my heart. I know there is nothing I can do about it, and to be honest I wasn't diagnosed before I had kids. Of course, I'd never want to not have my girls, I just wish they didn't have this struggle. To be fair, I don't know if the younger daughter will have this, but I'm afraid for her as well. Therapist, gave us some advice and tried to address our personal desire to "fix" things we can't fix...

    You have an incredibly long day... I've tried getting up at 4:30 to go to the gym before work, but I just can't keep it up. Today I barely made it to work by 7:30 and I didn't get up until 6:50... I'm impressed by your schedule!

    Good morning folks! I'm home to shower after dropping grandkids off at school. So far so good over there, but boy I sure am not used to getting kids up and off to school in the mornings anymore. I'm almost 63 years old and it's been a minute since I had to fight with kids to get up and get ready. Parenting is definitely for the young... :smiley: All in all, things are going well though. I'm enjoying getting this time alone with them, and the photos my son and DIL have been sending from the different islands they've been visiting are so beautiful so it makes me happy that they've got this time to make these memories together. But not gonna lie...I will be very happy to sleep in my own bed again when they return!

    Food has been all over the place. I try to make a meal plan but they eat so differently from how I normally eat that it's been hard to resist. My husband and I usually make healthier type of meals at home...we cook pretty much our meat, potatoes & vegetable kind of meals. This week, their pantry is filled with all the yummy foods that I love but don't buy....the kids eat stuff like chicken nuggets, popcorn shrimp, tater tots, pizzas, pizza rolls, curly fries....etc. You get the picture. It's all that yummy stuff that I have a hard time not overeating this stuff! I'm trying to not worry about WHAT I'm eating and focus more on HOW MUCH I'm eating. Eat only for hunger...not entertainment. Stop when I've had enough...not when I'm stuffed. I am a fast eater though, so I don't always realize how full I am until I'm done. So that is my food struggle this week. Certainly could have worse problems though, so there's that! ha!

    Have a great day everyone!

    Just for Tuesday, 3/7/2023

    You've got a really healthy plan for today! Is the vanilla skinny syrup for your coffee like using stevia drops? Just curious. I like french vanilla creamer but I'm trying to get away from using creamer but still want that flavor...

    So late getting on here again!! I always have the best plans ... but not doing so great. We are trying to find a different doctor for our daughter.. she has not seen a doctor since before the pandemic. Everything is zoom calls, and as a result, she has been getting worse. Lots of paranoia.. which she will not admit. And that causes anxiety and panic attacks. But its been frustrating. But she has a zoom call with her doctor next week.. we are making her take it out at our place so we can contribute to what is going on.
    and .. as a result.. my eating is all over the place! Does not help that now that hubby is retired.. he is so bored. I hope he will get used to not working and find more hobbies.. but as a result.. I seem to get little done. Yesterday we went out for lunch.. just a sandwich.. but still more than I usually eat for lunch. Dinner was healthy.. but then, after dinner, we both sat on our butts.. and ate cashews and M&Ms! We had friends visiting and they gave us a huge bag of the best cashews... and you mix those with M&Ms.. just can't stop eating!!
    I talked to my brother yesterday .. he quit smoking. He said he did it by buying DumDums lolipops.. and I thought ... I wonder if I bought those... and when I want to snack, suck on one of those instead? Just a thought... that.. and brushing my teeth. But .. it does not help when hubby is there snacking!
    Oh well.. today is a new day. ha.. how many times do I say that!
    JFT, Tues

    I hope you get your daughter sorted out. Finding the right doctor was key for me. Now even with the additional stress of my daughter's issues I've remained stable. Saddened by her situation, but not in despair like previously felt in times of turmoil. I just say this to remind you that there is hope. ((Hugs)).

    Fell off the JFT wagon for a few days, now back on. Reading the posts, realized I'm a boredom eater, too. Always knew I was eating my emotions, but boredom is something else. Especially now that I'm retired and not as connected to others in person like I used to, seems to be an issue I need to deal with.

    Sharing one of my favorite reminders that helps me:
    juw8ngbmjrfc.jpg

    JFT 3/7 T
    1) Move hourly
    2) Walk dog
    3) Salmon & veggies for supper / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water

    Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5pm. Can still have my dose of metamusal. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch.

    Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow. Did have some kale and spinach; had that at lunch too. Not a big deal; not really thinking of vegetables when I say that in my hour commitment after lunch.

    @littleblackskirt - we called those lines “party lines” here in Canada. Ours had my Grandparents, another senior couple and our neighbour that had 4 girls. There were 5 teen girls all at the same time. I remember being careful to listen to make sure none of the adults heard anything and told my parents.

    @teigansdad - I read about boredom being a reason you eat. That is my worst thing I think. I need to find something to be busy with. I have too much alone time too.

    @emgracewrites - does your landlord not fix things? They have to here at no charge to the tenant.

    @clicketykeys - I feel the same right now. I’m hoping I can start walking again this Spring and that will help me.

    @PackerFanInGB - I would be eating all of that stuff with you and like you I’m a fast eater so would overeat too.
    I have cousins on a cruise right now too visiting different islands. Wouldn’t it be funny if it was the same cruise?

    @mytime6630 - that’s a long time for a doctor not to lay eyes on a person. I hope you find someone that can help her.
    Boredom is a terrible thing!

    I applied for a job last week and got a call today. I have an interview next Monday.

    Postpone osteopath appointment yes
    Walk son's dog 60 minutes in the woods, very cold but sunny and no wind, perfect! Happy dog and happy me :) b]

    A big day in the garden today, having a conifer cut down, so will be busy with that. It's sunny but freezing.


    I snacked too much yesterday, not taking this seriously enough. 300 completely unnecessary calories eaten!
    Today was my first weekly weigh in day...I am one pound down. I'd hoped for more in the first week, but I guess it serves me right for still snacking a bit.

    Today is day 2 in the garden, got to get the roots out now!

    JFT Wednesday 8th March

    Stay in the green

    Hahah oh the school run, I suppose you're right in saying that it is for the young. But its still hard

    Helps when you have uniform ready the night before, and if it's stressful getting out on time then get them up 15 mins earlier to give yourself that extra time.

    As for the meals, my kids have a lot of that stuff, but they also eat our meals too. Not all the time (Saskia does) but we keep getting them to try it either way, we want to move them away from that stuff as much as possible to give them a healthy start. Although sometimes we like a quick and easy tea and enjoy eating it too!

    Still not got Marley and Casey liking curry and rice yet haha we're close. They atleast try it now. But they say they still don't like it. They will one day 😅 it's only korma aswell because of the spices. Saskias upgraded to the tikka masala

    Good luck Anyway haha xx
