@pridesabtch - OMG your story with the puppy/husband played out in my head like a screwball comedy complete with music & wacky SFX! Glad it all worked out in the end!
@pamperedlinny - I can't even fathom what I would do if my father or his wife tried to discipline my kids. I think they know me well enough to know that I would cut that off quickly and the result would be me withdrawing from them more than I already have. I'm sorry your daughter is struggling with anxiety and panic attacks - both my daughters do/did too, and your description made me think of how my oldest handled anxiety when she was younger, for a time I thought she had 'oppositional disorder' or whatever that's called. When she was overwhelmed she'd start acting out, whereas my youngest would curl up in a ball and hide in a closet. Both were probably having panic attacks...luckily I got them both some help with a therapist, and physically we found both were actually related to screwball hormone levels. Girls hate hearing that at that age because they think you're denying their feelings, and it takes time to sink in that your feelings are legit, but the hormones are taking those feelings waaayyyy out of proportion and going dark places. My oldest was finally diagnosed with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which means she has a higher than normal testosterone level. I feel like me and my youngest sister probably had this too, it just was never diagnosed. Birth control pills helped both of them regulate the wild hormone swings, and the hormone aspect abated once they hit their 20's. I am feeling for you going through this right now and pray that it starts to abate for your daughter as she gets older too!3 -
@Bex953172 - upgrades are so exciting aren't they?
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!! 2 -

"Having fun" is something of a chore.

I've been doing good for the last two weeks. I've been off on and for the past 3 months with staying consistent. I didn't run when I got home from work last night like I should have, instead I ate and ate and ate....
This morning at work I've been eating Easter candy (easy access as my co-worker has it on her desk for anyone to eat). I went into the lunchroom for paper towel and a fork as I forgot to pack one. One of the lawyers was in there (I'm a paralegal and work at a law firm) and asked me if I had lost weight as was trying to loose weight. Why yes I have!!! I'm down about 12 pounds since mid-December. He's the first person to say anything! I haven't really noticed any change in the mirror, though my jeans are starting to feel a little looser.
I got back to my desk and tossed the other candies sitting on my desk in my lunch bag. I'm eating my nice lunch (chicken, boiled egg, raw carrot, orange and Made Good bar) and no more Easter candy today. That got me back on track!4 -
Yesterday I never made time for computer, therefore no JFT post. (I hate posting using my Android phone, such a pain.)

Completed my March MapMyWalk Challenge yesterday. The goal was to walk or run at least 72 miles in the month. I did 73.47 miles, intermingled with a few PT exercise days and snow shoveling days. Took rest days when I was out of town visiting parents or weather just too cold/windy & didn't wanna go LOL. Only forced to use treadmill one day & sad dog.
Overall, happy dog and happy me.

Lots of green check marks, but today was complete $***. Major problems with both work computers means I have to work over the weekend to give myself half a chance to meet my deadlines. Taxes ended up costing me way more money than anticipated. Burned my dinner and then dropped part of it on the floor. Haven’t done anything creative in ages.
Having a really hard time seeing my worth tonight. Guess I’ll just try and sleep it off since none of my other coping mechanisms are working.3 -
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.

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
Log all food
No food after 94 -
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
