Hey all!
I didn't really post or do anything the way I'm supposed to do throughout the summer. So, now I'm back and trying to start fresh again. School is back in session so my daughter isn't home to bug me while I work. My husband is in the office. No out of town visitors scheduled through August. I have no excuse for not being back on the wagon. Since I've been more off than on for a while I'm putting really simple goals to start back up. I need to ease back in without being too crazy all at once.
JFT:
☑️No coffee until 8am
☑️No food until 10am
☑️No food after 8pm
☑️Drink at least 90 oz of water
☑️Stay under 1800 calories
☑️At least 5000 steps on Fitbit
☑️Try to put a dent in work emails
☑️Dishes
☑️Make dinner (pasta tonight) for the family
☑️Don't forget to check blook sugars throughout the day
☑️Read at least 2 more chapters of Crane Pond2 -

@pridesabtch You sure do have a lot going on. I haven't gotten caught up yet, but it sounds like you lost a loved one. My condolences to you and your family. How is Gia doing? Is she doing well living with Sierra? Take care of yourself during these upcoming busy days!
Yeah, my best friend passed. Gia is good, we have her this week because she got spayed. She is a very loving dog. First pic is at Sierra's apartment. She might be a little spoiled. Second is at my house, still spoiled.

Just for Tuesday, 8/8/23
* Make 24H Plan and Assess yesterday's ✅
* Drink 64+ oz water ❌ 50 oz again. Why can I not just drink 10 more oz of water? Just do it!
* Close activity rings on Apple watch. ❌ Short by 26 calories & 3 minutes of exercise.
* Mom's for AQ video. ✅
* Aldi run for fresh produce. Cut up cantaloupe, honeydew & watermelon from downstairs fridge. ✅
* Podcasts. Journal. Bible Plan. Marco Polos. ✅

Habit ChangesThis week's small change is that I will eat at least four 1/2 cup servings of vegs/fruit every day. I will keep track by filling out a Habit Tracker every evening.
8/6/2023:
1 corn on cob, 1 svg of fresh produce in Italian dressing (cucumber, peppers & onion) and 8 cherry tomatoes freshly picked from garden.
8/7: celery & hummus. side salad for dinner with romaine, radishes, carrots, tomatoes.
8/8: Melon (cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon), pineapple, blackberries. baby red potatoes, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes.
This week, I will do ONE THING every day that takes me out of my comfort zone. Pick any little thing and DO IT afraid. Answer the sentence... Today, I got out of my comfort zone by:
8/6: finally wearing the strapless teal and black sundress hanging in my closet for 2 years.
8/7: not snacking on our road trip - waiting for dinner.
8/8: Worked in backyard, picking tomatoes and blackberries. I've been avoiding the heat so it did actually take me out of my comfort zone of the A/C. Yes, I realize I'm getting very spoiled.
This month I will work on getting healthier by drinking 64 oz of water every day. I will do this by filling my pink 20 oz stainless steel container as soon as I place my coffee cup in the sink and I will have it by me all day. I will make sure to fill it two more times before 7 pm.
8/6: ❌ Only 40 oz. Tomorrow I will fill my water bottle earlier.
8/7: ❌ 50 oz. Better than yesterday but not quite there...
8/8: ❌ 50 oz again. Need to stop this up on Wednesday! Seriously! It's not that freaking difficult! No more excuses! Get the 64 oz in, and get it in before 7pm so you're not up 4x a night using the bathroom!
Happy Hump Day everyone! Today, I will focus on drinking 64 oz. of water before 7 PM. I don't know why I struggle to drink enough water. I tell myself that I don't like the taste, but water doesn't really HAVE a taste, so that's just an excuse.
Just for Today (Wednesday 8/9)

JFT Wednesday 9th Aug
Log everything yes
Stay in the green yes, just
Foot exercises yes
Back exercises no
Only one snack 2
Dog walk? 45 minutes
Weather forecast says we will have 2 completely dry days so I need to do as much outside painting as my foot will allow. I really don't want to, I hate the prep work! I'd like to leave it until later, but we have had a very wet summer and there's no guarantee it will improve.
I also need to go into town to collect an order this week, not sure when to go as there's a cycling competition on which has closed some roads and may make parking difficult.
Can't decide, I'll just get off here and go and do ...something, anything!
I did get moving and chose the easy win of walking the dog first, the dog is always happy to go out!
Sanded and painted one side of the shed in the afternoon, and did a second coat in the evening. I also mowed the front lawn while waiting for the paint to dry.
My foot was very painful. I've always used old trainers for gardening and painting as they get so dirty, I've finally realised that it's not good for my feet. So as much as it hurts (my pocket!) I've accepted that I should wear new supportive trainers for outside work as well. My "new" garden takes a lot of work so I'm outside a lot. (not really new, I've been here 3 years already!)

I had a rough couple hours yesterday when I just wanted to snack. I kept to some pretzels with cream cheese, allowed myself a diet soda, and got busy doing other things until the feeling passed. It was a close thing though... I really wanted to dive into the pantry. Stress eating is a huge thing that I keep circling back to fight. Maybe one day I'll stop craving junk just because things aren't going my way.

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm not feeling great today, so lying low today. My only real goals are to drink all the water and go to bed on time, but I want to keep accountability going so here I am.
@Snowflake1968 I am SO sorry. Gentle hugs to you and your family, my friend.
@pamperedlinny When you learn the key to stop stress eating, please share with me! It is my downfall. I eat for happy, sad, bored, angry, stressed... But at least we are aware of it and can work on watching for it...
@clicketykeys Glad you have some breathing room finally!
@pridesabtch Gia is adorable! My mom has a goldendoodle named Honey. She's 8 years old now and is like a bit puppy. So cute. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your best friend. My condolences to you and all who loved her.

Hey everyone
The sun is back in England. The whole of July was a write off for nice weather, it mostly rained.
But now the sun's back and in a typical English-weather fashion it's now too freaking hot.
Everyone's hot, everyone's sticky, everyone's in some ratty mood. I've got to go food shopping today 😭 and I wish I had exercised through July now lol!
My in-laws brought the garden furniture round so we have a rattan sofa in the garden now.
Sat down in the sun on it for two minutes yesterday until I was like "nope, too hot".
We bought a reflective film to stick on our bedroom windows to reflect the sun or something. Just haven't got round to doing yet.
I've never done it before and will lose my mind if there's bubbles on the window. If I wanna do something I want it to look good!

I did much better with water yesterday and I slept a little better last night. My stomach is causing me discomfort this morning though.
Part of the elimination diet I’m on is to slowly eat larger and larger amounts of trigger foods to see what your tolerance level is. Apparently one granola bar a day for three days in a row is more than I can handle. At least I’m figuring things out even if it temporarily puts me in pain.1 -

I had a nice visit with my mom yesterday. She hasn't been getting out a lot, so she was especially happy to see my daughter and her boys. She had tacos for the kids, and I brought along the ingredients to make a tart with some of the gorgeous multi-hued heirloom tomatoes I'd picked up at the farmer's market. A zillion calories with the puff pastry base and feta-mascarpone layer, but such a treat! After lunch, I helped my older grandson pot some begonias before the light drizzle turned into a steady downpour. No real exercise, but we all enjoyed the day.

@Snowflake1968 I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Losses like that are so hard to make sense of.
I'm totally not feeling it today. I showed up to work, but I was 15 minutes late and I'm dressed way down... I am the boss now, but it isn't setting the best example. Of course I did start working at home an hour before I got here, but people don't know that. They just see me strolling in at 8:15. Anyway, busy day ahead. Work, then going to the bank to see about a home improvement loan to redo the kitchen and 1 bathroom. They are big ticket items so we'll need a loan to get it done. Hopefully our bonuses in March will pay 80% of it, but until then we need to go this route. The unexpected new car purchase last month puts us a little tight on cash flow, but we don't want to put off the remodel any longer.
After work we are dropping of Elliott at my SIL's for a sleepover while we go to Akron to watch Sierra run the half marathon there Saturday morning. It's a 6:30am race and we live 2.5 hours away so we are definitely going up tonight. After the race, V is going to drive on to Kent and meet her roommate for the first time and we are going to come home and go to the River Trails & Ales Beer Festival. It should be a good time. A lot of people come out for it, and I get to see a lot of old friends from my riding days. I'm looking forward to it!

WFTY: Priorities. Rehearsal was cancelled tonight and I have mixed feelings as I could have used the combat practice but it was super helpful to have time to run just my few lines over and over and OVER again rather than sitting patiently through all the parts I'm not in
