Spending most of the weekend at my mom's without much opportunity for exercise. But I made it through an entire month of daily logging and dropped a few pounds - a bright spot in a stressful time.

Yes emptying the kitchen will take a while - I'm hoping the fridge can be relocated around the corner into the DR but still be plugged in and useable...it would be such a bummer to lose all my meal prep in the freezer!! I told my husband we have 2 weeks to eat what's in the freezer in case we lose it
. I wonder if the contractor will move the oven completely out of the way...or move to the other side of the kitchen and do the floor in stages? That might be easier for both the stove and the fridge...I'm gonna set up a hot plate and electric kettle in the dining room so at least I can make some coffee / heat up something while we don't have a kitchen. It's gonna take a while because our contractor does most of the work himself - which is great for the price and the quality of work, the downside is it will take a lot longer. You know the saying - good, fast, cheap...pick 2! But it will all be worth it...and add to the value of the house in the end as well. Anyway hope yours goes smoothly, good luck!!
Well, it's gone well so far. It's all ripped out and my brother just set up the one unit that the oven goes in so atleast I've got my oven.
And yep I've got the kettle, toaster and microwave all set up in the lounge on top of the dryer.
He had to set.up the oven unit because he can't come finish it until tomorrow so I was kind of like.. well what am I gonna eat? I need it to cook something
He said "what about sandwiches.. it's only one night!"
Think my face said it all though LOL
We managed to keep the freezers plugged in, there's a cupboard in our kitchen which is actually the space under the stairs. So we put the chest freezer in there so it's out the way. Then we have the stand-alone fridge freezer which we just left in the kitchen. Can't really move that anywhere but it's on the opposite side of the kitchen to where the units are going so it's not really in the way.
We've been lucky in that because the kitchens my dad's old one, he gave us all the top cupboards first and fitted them so when it's come to clearing.out the bottom kitchen cupboards I've just put all the stuff in the top ones.

Yesterday was not good. Putting in the rear view mirror but haven’t lost control like that in weeks. Way over calorie goal. Ate a bunch of crap.
Gonna just put a end to that today. I’m making progress and last think I want to do is be self destructive and that’s what it felt like. I’ve done that before so need to recognize it as a day and move on.
Todays goal
Work out
No beer
Less than 2k
10 glasses of water (gonna be tough as will be at track meet all day

Morning everyone!
Hope you're all good, I'm SO glad I took the rest day from exercise yesterday. I mean the last thing I did was rest 😂 but exercise on top would have killed me off.
There was just so much to do!
Get the kids to school (2 mile walk), get home have a coffee (this is when I'd normally exercise)
But instead I had to wash all the pots and put them away, Empty the cupboards and find a place for them, wipe the sides, get as much laundry and drying done as possible (5 loads!), Then pull both appliances out of the kitchen, which required me to tidy up the lounge and rearrange the sofas so I can get it all to fit.
Then I had to go get the girls from school (another 2 miles) whilst I was out Ash finished the last couple of things and mopped for me.
By the time I got home, majority was done.
Then we were unsure if our gas would be on if we couldn't cap the gas pipe leading to the hob, so I thought right all the girls need showers right now and tea right now before the oven and maybe gas go off. So I started tea (quick freezer meal tea), ash did the showers. The flipping electric went off halfway through!!
So the shower went cold, the food stopped cooking, I nearly lost my sh!!t.
Ash (cool, calm and collected) checked the meter, couldnt apply emergency though so we had to use Saskias laptop (the only thing with battery) to plug in the smart meter to activate the emergency credit. It was all that washing I did, we don't normally use the emergency but it's 4 days before were payed so we've done well 😂
And then I ate my tea, quickly washed the pots we used. Sat down. Knock on the door.
I did not stop all flipping day. I was sore, my back ached, my feet ached.
But now it's Saturday..there's no more 4 mile walks/day, the lounge is now a bit cramped for me to exercise at the minute.
I have the urge to do things 😂😂 but there's nothing to do. And now the kids are off for two weeks and I want to keep up my momentum!
Oh I had a little over snack last night too. Think I'm within calories, but I was trying to avoid them foods at all costs but I gave in. So I have 4 biscuits and quite a few crisps. Could have chose something healthy but I just didn't.
Felt like I earned them in a way, I've been working my butt off all week!

@Bex953172 - so busy!!! And through my astute sleuthing powers I have detected you're in the UK somewhere? These boards are always so amazing to me - here I am over the pond in the Bronx (NY) relating to your kitchen reno! My contractor told me his paint guy doesn't want to use my paint choice (?!) because he 'can't guarantee its durability' - it's Benjamin Moore Advance which is one of the best paints for cabinets - like WTF? I have already used BM Super White on the trim through the rest of the house so I want my whites to match!! My contractor agreed it was stupid and says he'll do the cabinets himself. This guy is very good, very meticulous and fairly young so he doesn't have some big crew he's developed... hence the price that's good for our budget but now may take even longer if he's doing EVERYTHING. Hubby and I are already steeled for it lasting 3-4 weeks. Hopefully we won't be without a stove for more than a week - that will definitely have to be moved out of the kitchen since the existing floor is going to be leveled (there is tile on top of tile) - so hoping we can tiptoe in after hours and at least use the microwave (it's mounted on the wall over the stove so can't be moved.) Much more than everyone needed to know about the status of my reno but there you go. I am not the best when my schedule is disrupted, especially if we are forced to order out...and combined with the very long work hours on this job I am afraid I'll do what I always do...throw everything out the window, eat what I want, and decide I'll start fresh after whatever is disrupting me is over. But life keeps happening and I can't keep throwing my health out the window!!! I make progress then I undue it, it's been years and years of that cycle. I need to plan ahead and make sure I have a workable system to stay on track....good luck with yours and hope you can do the same!! 2
-
@teigansdad - I very much do the same thing. I was feeling self-destructive yesterday and also ate way over my calorie goal - like "Take that stupid job!! I'm gonna eat super unhealthily today, ha ha, that'll teach you!!"
But getting right back on track is the thing I have the most trouble with - a "slip" will turn into a week, 2 weeks, a month...so fighting hard to make sure today isn't a repeat. I have to work some this weekend so I have resist the urge to "feed the pouting" that will be going on!
JFT:
1. eat clean, even if I don't track
2. finish work I need to do for this stupid job
3. start to clean out cabinets in kitchen
4. spend quality time with the hubby3 -
Morning all! I didn't log into the community boards at all yesterday. It was my fiscal year end at work so I just stayed slammed.
Today I have the kids Easter party at church, my daughter's volleyball game, then a friend's daughter 18 birthday party too. Tomorrow is church then a group of 3 families all going to the circus. Busy weekend but it should be fun.

No dog walk today b/c last night's 1.5" rain eventually froze on paved surfaces. Wind was also fierce, gusts up to 50mph dislodged our stake over one downspout, which was laying about 10 ft. away from the house this morning, frozen into the snow. Sun later came out and melted things, but I was busy cleaning. At least that's physical activity. We have my family coming for Easter Sunday dinner, and I'm a more diligent cleaner when we have company. LOL

- Registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised) from walking in another frigid 5K.

Need to get back at it today.
I've had a long weekend. The kitchen is ALMOST finished. My sinks back in and one whole side is fitted. But he didnt have time to fit the hob last worktop.
He did however connect the hob to the gas again and just kind of balanced it on top of the oven unit
I've used it once but trying to avoid using it because it's not exactly the safest thing in the world.
Fingers crossed he comes tonight to finish it off
My girls are at their aunties ATM and stayed over last night.. But my SIL has a dog booked in at her work so she needs to go do that so I'm watching all the kids
So I'll know what it's like to have 5 girls running bout the house 😂
It's only for a couple of hours so I just wanna make sure I tidy the girls bedroom, which isn't even bad at this point. But their beds need making. Then just tidy down stairs a bit, I've not.put anything back yet. Not until the kitchens finished x3 -
Oh and today I need to do some form of exercise and I think I'm gonna start walking the dog more regularly to make up for the school walks that I'm missing x2

@teigansdad hey how did Teigan do on her driving test?
Unfortunately she did not pass… wasn’t prepared for the three point turn. I’ve gotta bring her to@teigansdad hey how did Teigan do on her driving test?
The DMV at 7 Wednesday and hope we get a spot. She’s not as upset as I thought she would be.
This weekend was a weekend of going off the rails. I have made a bunch of progress but think the little demon in my head got the best of me. Had some beers with the neighbors and that would have been fine because I killed it on trainer AND did weights but problem was I then proceeded to eat enough dinner for two people. I don’t think I was as bad as the numbers suggest because I know I over estimate the calories and also didn’t count my weight training calories but still went over. Time to repair the body from this weekend
Only two day work week so that’s nice
Todays goals
Less than 2k calories
10-14 glasses of water
No beer
Treadmill after work
Log all food
Forgive myself from the weekend and move on
No food after 9

No health-related goals for me this week. I have 29 work tasks to complete (that I know about so far), 8 meetings, and 1 doctor’s appointment. I think my only goal is to just make it through the week.
Then I have one day to myself (Saturday) before some kind of family get-together on Sunday for Easter. But there’s a bunch of family drama going on about that behind the scenes, so I won’t even know what the plan is (or if I’ll be expected to cook anything) until late this week. I know I shouldn’t worry about it because it’s out of my control but that’s the part that’s so exhausting for me - feeling like I have no control over anything.
One day at a time, right? Guess that’s all I can do.4 -
@emgracewrites - family drama is the worst! I hope it doesn't ruin Easter...hard not to worry about stuff ESPECIALLY when it's out of your control! ugh
@teigansdad - my daughter failed her first time too. It's a pain but she'll get it, now she'll know what to focus on practicing. I went off the rails this weekend too...am gonna right this ship today.
@Bex953172 - great that your kitchen is almost done! How are you feeling about it? I made some progress this weekend emptying shelves. Am trying to keep it all sort of organized since we'll be living in this for at least 6 weeks...2 -
This weekend wasn't one of my most shining moments - just one of those where it seems I deliberately set out to sabotage my progress and new healthy habits. DH brought home tequila for margaritas and it was all over...
. I also had a huge steak salad last night - we ordered from the diner since I was too tired to make the healthy dinner I'd planned - which is so dumb because I have a physical this morning and they're going to draw my blood...my cholesterol will probably spike. So stupid, because now if the numbers are high I won't know if it's the steak, or a bigger problem so it will probably need to be redone. Oh well. I got a LOT of work done yesterday - weeded & pruned the clematis & hydrangea in the backyard since they're starting to sprout like crazy, hung a new trellis to make it easier for the clematis to climb, raked out the raised bed garden & planted arugula, then shredded two big boxes of files in our ongoing effort to slowly get rid of crap we don't need. It felt really great to get out in the sun, see all the new growth and know that winter is over! First time in 9 years we didn't have to pick up a shovel ONCE! The one bit of snow we had melted by afternoon and that was that. Crazy...anyway a good weekend overall. For today am keeping it simple:
JFT:
1. LOG AND STAY WITHIN CALORIES enough is enough!
2. drink 100 oz water

Happy Monday!
It’s been a busy weekend. Church kids Easter party, neighborhood Easter egg hunt, volleyball, friend’s birthday, church, and the circus with a group of 13 taking up an entire section. I’m so tired. I did get my face painted to match my daughter this time. She LOVED that we matched. I know she’s 9 and the day will soon come she’ll be embarrassed when I do that kind of thing. I’m loving every minute I can still get of that joy.
I also joined Stridekick since Fitbit got rid of all the challenges, bingos, and public groups. So if anyone wants to find me on there I'm listed as user pamperedlinny
Tonight my kid asked for tacos. I’ll have to make a grocery run because my husband killed off the lettuce and cheese over the weekend. What is everyone else having tonight?
@jennysweet58 I also have PCOS and I’m about 90% sure that a lot of the issues she has had at 8 and 9 years old stem from hormones. It took me years to understand my own self and those issues. Her body seemed to start changing some before her friends and I was the same. Her therapist agrees it may be playing a factor. I have an aunt and a cousin that also have PCOS. Thankfully, with knowing this is a thing throughout our family she’ll have the tools we didn’t have to face all of it head on.
@angf0679 Great job putting the candy away! And having your hard work noticed!

@pamperedlinny I love the face painting! It's fun when they are young enough to enjoy being goofy.
@teigansdad Teigan will get the 3 point turn, good luck Wednesday. My youngest took her drivers test during Covid protocols, so it was really simple and strange. She drove in a square (Stops and blinkers) with the examiner standing outside and then she parallel parked. That was it. She didn't even go out on the road.
My weekend too was not good food wise, but I did get a lot of walking and stairs in on Saturday. We went and watched Sierra race, then Tim and I went to a hockey game while Sierra spent time with Gia (pup). It was an incredibly long day as the pup needed out at 3:00am and I had to get up at 4:00am to leave at 5:00am. Needless to say I didn't get back to sleep after 3:00am. I drove most of the way to Pittsburgh while hubby and Gia napped, but then I got really tired and we switched drivers for the last 30 minutes or so. Sunday I worked around the house and finished up some props for Beauty and the Beast. Otherwise I just watched basketball and HG TV.
Today is work, and spin class. Hopefully I'll get out of work in time to change and actually ride this week. Last week I went straight from work and the bike seats did not feel so good jeans. It was a great class according to the participants, but I felt like a total slacker.
JFT Monday
- Work by 8:00
- Meetings
- 8D for complaints
- Figure out ARF
- Pay Mom's bills
- Get pup at 2:30
- Gym by 5:45
- Drop off props at the school

Feeling happy about it, even though I've got about 3 quarters of it in 😂😂 only one worktop to get in really with the hob (but it's working for now) Then I can put everything in the right cupboards.
And then in the upcoming weeks it should be re-floored and re-tiled at the back of the worktops.
The only issue is not knowing when my brother's next free. He said he might be able to come today but that's not looking likely
He works so it's hard for him to find the spare time in the evenings

Thank god for low calorie pop corn. Helps with my mindless eating without much in the way of caloric consequence.
Today is my Friday. Looking forward to getting it over. I finish work around 7 but Teigan’s high school is on the way home and she has a art show so I’m going from work to there and then will stay there till 8 to bring her home. Feeling a little better today. The cats let me sleep till 530 kind of .

April got off to a bumpy start and promises to be challenging, both logistically and personally. I was way over on calories yesterday. My daughter had another divorce mediation session and I let the stress get to me. At least I got in a decent walk with my grandsons. They're off this week for Spring Break, and I was able to adjust my schedule to have two days off in a row. Today we're taking the kids on an overnight trip to Gettysburg with my father-in-law who went to seminary there many years ago. Lots of history and family bonding. I hope it will also be a break for my daughter. Logging and healthy eating will be a challenge, but at least I'll get plenty of walking in.

Need to vent.
Got a major assignment dropped on me at work within 5 minutes of opening my email. It’s an editing opportunity, which I should be happy about, but it’s a super tight turnaround and would probably require overtime. But if I say “no” I can probably kiss any further opportunities goodbye. So more stress and anxiety for me, I guess. Yay?2 -

That is so stressful...I'm freelance so I know the feeling of "you can never say no." I despise all the unrealistic deadlines that have become the norm - and I play right into their hands, working extra hours for free just so I'm not the one "holding up" the works. It's so rare to find a boss that is realistic about the time things take, and protects their staff. Anyway, off to work an 11 hour day when I'm only paid for 9! (I wish I was kidding)2 -

Busy, busy day at work... It was very productive, but I didn't get to leave at 2:30 to check on doggo. Unfortunately she is having some gastro issues so by 4:30 the kennel and the puppy were covered in poo. I actually put on gloves to clean up. It was soooo gross, but it wasn't her fault. Puppy's just can't hold it that long and she isn't feeling well. She is getting better about letting us know when she need to go out. Usually she goes out once during the night, but last night it was 3 times. Boy am I tired today. It really is like having a baby in the house.
I did teach spin yesterday which was a blast as always. It was a fun group of folks, which makes the pain more manageable. I didn't start my watch yesterday, but my active calories were around 400, and I didn't do much else yesterday.
Today, I have to get home as soon as I can after my meetings to let Gia out and hope that the kennel and dog are poo-free. Other than that, I should have Bible study this evening. I really am not into it right now, but I can't drop out because my boss is in my group. His wife leads it. I will also probably go to the grocery and get stuff to make chicken noodle soup for the theater kids. I'll make the broth tonight then heat it and add noodles tomorrow. This week's practices are from 4-9, so the parents sign up to bring food. Of course my daughter is a vegetarian, so I may also make a pot of veggie noodles for her.
