    @Bex953172 I remember doing Sweaty Betty the first time you recommended. That was a tough workout! At least for me, who's not the most coordinated LOL.

    Hahaha if it makes you feel better I'm still massively uncoordinated when I do it 😂😂
    But, I get better with practice. Like yesterday I only did 2 and half parts out of 6 but by next week I could be doing 3 and half. Or even 4

    I've never fully completed it. I've always reached 4 sets. So I need to push myself that little bit further!


    The school walk doesn't seem so bad now either. It was killer that first week. My legs still ache a bit but not as bad. But theyve got the next two weeks off for Easter so I'll have to get used to it again!

    Yesterday was poop.
    Think me and Ash were just getting on each others nerves 😂. I was in a mood again and so I didn't really eat that much.
    I was starving by the time it came to dinner, I did sausage, mash and veg but was too far past hungry to eat it all.

    So by the time I finished logging
    I had literally eaten the same amount I exercised off?!
    Like down to the calorie. 593 food and 593 exercise lmao.

    I mean I know it's.bot 100% accurate anyway but it was kind funny to see
    Then not funny because thats just not healthy at all.

    So I know I'm not posting official goals anymore but my goal today is to EAT.

Normalize putting the blankets away EVERY MORNING. Then move to doing it FIRST, along with getting dressed. What do I do about the fact that nothing really seems fun? "Having fun" is something of a chore.

    WFTY: Priorities. Made it through yesterday and I didn't THINK that I had snacked a whole bunch but maybe???
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    @Bex953172 They are very strict. They weren't like that when I was growing up. However, they are long skirts, music shouldn't move your feet before it moves your heart, anything that can be construed as non-biblical is questioned. My beliefs align with about 85% of theirs most of the time. The other 15% though is so very strict. My daughter loves Harry Potter, Twilight, listening to popular music.... essentially all the pop culture in our house makes a big problem. Wardrobes being jeans and whatever is comfy also differs greatly. Even when I listen to faith based music it's more pop and rock and r&b sounding than hymns. When they stayed in a hotel last time we got along better because we got a break for a bit. No breaks when they are in the house for a week.

    This sounds REALLY DIFFICULT to deal with, I am getting hives just thinking about it!!! My father and his wife have conservative beliefs that I don't share, and neither do my daughters - so any time spent together needs to be fairly short, and preferably around some family event where there is some distraction. Too long in their company and they will start bringing up issues they know I don't agree with and am uncomfortable talking about with them - it's like they can't help poking me in the eye, but won't give me the same respect I give them by simply avoiding topics I know will be triggers. Luckily my daughters haven't been there when they've cornered me, because although they've been brought up to be respectful, they haven't been brought up to swallow their opinions when someone else is being rude...even if it's their grandparents. Needless to say my father and his wife don't have great relationships with most of their grandkids either. Anyway the cleaning of the house and having people stay with you is hard enough...luckily it sounds like you agree with most, so hopefully you can navigate the rest without a blowup during their visit. The toughest part for me would be if they tried to start disciplining my kid to align with their values...so hopefully that doesn't happen! Good luck!!

    ✅ 10 minute strength

    Day started well, then mood became heavy & just didn't want to; however I remembered to focus on things "just for today", so with heavy legs of don't wanna, I was able to do my walk then the other items & was happy to have followed through.

    "heavy legs of don't wanna" is a hilarious and totally accurate description of that situation!! Good for you for pushing through it!!

    Just had 2 back to back 14 hour days at work, so everything got thrown out the window. I wasn't tracking calories, but didn't go out and get lots of junk to consume (which is my go-to when I am feeling exhausted and pressured and working long hours) nor did I have any alcohol - so I'm taking those as wins!! This job is so awful - sometimes the gift of being freelance is that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel! I've only committed until mid-May, so if it stays as awful as it is right now I will respectfully decline any offer to extend...that helps me steel myself to just get through it. We're about to start a kitchen refresh so will be grateful this job is allowing me to do that...a drain for my new sink arrived yesterday and it sounds ridiculous but I am SO EXCITED for that damn drain!!! It's deep and has a tiny little colander basket to catch scraps....it's gonna look so good in our new farmhouse sink!! We're also getting a new floor and painting cabinets...so exciting!! I have to start clearing the kitchen to prepare, so will take that opportunity to clear out some stuff we don't use. Anyway.....
    JFT:
    1. pool workout already done!
    2. track and stay within calories
    3. 100 oz water
    4. get outside for at least 10 minutes to feel the sun on my face
    5. try not to quit my job ha ha

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Didn't post yesterday. Colonoscopy went well. They removed one polyp, but were not concerned. I felt pretty good after just a little "drunk" so I figured I might as well go to trivia that night. We held our own at trivia, but didn't win. We missed a few easy ones...

    Funny story from yesterday morning. I was supposed to be at the hospital at 10:30, leave house at 10:00 ish. Need to have someone with me to drive me home. Puppy swallowed at sock at 9:45. Vet said we needed to bring her in immediately. Hubby is panicking that he can't get us both where we need to be at the same time. As he is rushing about he knocks over the baby gate, scaring the puppy. Puppy freaks out and poops everywhere. Hubby is now cursing, stomping about and cleaning poo. I tell him just to meet me at the hospital after he gets the dog taken care of. I mean it takes forever to actually get through the whole colonoscopy and I only need him to drive me home. He finally agrees and drives the dog to the vet. Drops her off and drives cross town to join me. During this time the dog pukes up the sock. Also there was a friend of mine in the waiting room waiting for a mutual friend. She offered me a ride home since she was already there. No harm no foul, but an amusing tale to tell.

    Today, I had to car pool to work with hubby. We will go get my car later. He is still rather crabby, rightfully so. He thinks he tore his left rotator cuff the other day and is not taking it well. Can't really blame him since he just had the right one replaced in October. On the up side, our deductible for the year has been fully met. To add to his mood, his debit card was hacked and we can't access our checking account for a few days. Annoying, but not the end of the world.

    @jennysweet58 At the last visit my mom tried to talk to my daughter about her being disrespectful. I let it play out to a point but then put a stop when it hit a line. My daughter is in therapy for anxiety and acting out during panic attacks. They don't always look like a panic attack, they often look like disrespect.... you have to look for the signs to see the difference. It's hard. I already walk a fine line with looking for the signs. My parents see her once a year or so and have no clue which is which. I'm really hoping to avoid that this time around.

    @pridesabtch puppies are certainly an adventure.

    Goals for 3/30
    - Finish tax prep ✅
    - Nutritionist appointment ✅
    - Log all food ✅
    - 40 oz of water ❌
    - Crochet ✅
    - Yoga ❌

    Today my nutritionist told me it’s not the food I’m eating that’s causing all my digestive issues. Apparently it’s anxiety and dehydration. I don’t know if I buy that or not, but I guess I’ll work on drinking more water and doing more yoga to chill out.

    @pridesabtch Your puppy story is hilarious!! Your poor husband though, I can imagine the stress 😂😂

    The first dog we ever owned when I was a kid, the first day we got him he was a bit shy/nervous dog and wanted to sit away from us at first (rescue dog at 6months old) so to give him his space my dad left him down stairs with his bed shut behind the kitchen door. He was dead good, no crying or whining but then again he still had to get used to us.

    I woke up the next morning to see my dad cleaning the carpet. But it was a weird carpet we had.. I want to say nylon? I'd have to ask but it was an old weird carpet I remember that. But the dog had pooped behind the door. And as my dads swung it open its just smeared across the floor in a arc shape 🤭
    He was not happy, I however found it hilarious.

    But then when we got Biggie, by the time potty training was done (and I was potty training Sask at the time too) we had to replace the whole lounge carpet. It was ruined!!

    I've got a busy day today so I'm taking a rest day from exercise
    Still walking the 4 miles for school though but I'll be doing alot of organising and shifting around.
    It clocked on last night that when my brother said he needed the kitchen empty, he meant.all the appliances too, not just the cupboards he ripping out. So I've got to shift the dryer, washing machine and fridge somewhere..
    I'm tempted to cook something that I can stick in the fridge in case anyone gets hungry later
    Atleast i could microwave it!

    Good luck everyone today!
