    Bad day all around today. Stomach bouncing from nauseous to starving so I didn’t eat nearly as much as I should have. Then got over a thousand dollars worth of medical bills for an outpatient procedure that lasted about 20 minutes. The American healthcare system seriously needs to change. I have savings built up to be able to afford the bill, but I know there are people out there who don’t have that. No one should have to choose between keeping themselves alive and keeping food on their table or a roof over their head.

    JFT I will..
    Stick to the plan!

    @pridesabtch I definitely can't see any option to add you (or indeed anyone) as a friend. Clearly not earned my MFP stars yet!

    Made my goals for yesterday, even with another long workday. It's nice to begin just thinking in "weeks" I've been on plan instead of "days"! Today will do a "Burpee Girl" video on youtube (so far she hasn't done a singe burpee in the videos I've chosen ha ha, probably because I only do low impact) then a yoga stretch. I'm just gonna keep on, keeping on...hope everyone has a great day!

    JFT:
    don't eat till 1pm
    stay within calories
    workout & stretch
    100 oz water

I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. Did talk about assisted living (there's a facility under construction near me). Leaving for ALA tomorrow; NEA July 1. Transfer approved. All kinds of feels about THAT. Tried out for a play. Also applied for a PT job with the not-a-union-union. Will have to quit RC if it goes through. Getting support for workplace organizing through WCAE with EWOC. I haven't even done ANYTHING with abolition.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. OOF. Definitely gained some weight at the conference. Hopefully some of it is water retention and will drop easily...
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    Anxiety has been out of control today. Which has made my IBS issues kick into overdrive (no surprises there). That’s causing more anxiety, which causes more symptoms… and the cycle continues. Hard to believe I actually felt hopeful a few days ago.

    Writing today off as a failure. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

    Feel like I've been messing up the last few days. Night time snacking creeping in over the last 3 maybe 4 days.

    And I'm tired again, ALL the time. Except I'm taking my thyroxine? I've got a blood test in a couple of weeks for that, can't really do much until I get my results because if my levels are fine then I know something else is going on.

    So I guess my goal today is no bedtime snacking or atleast planned snacks

    Met my goals for yesterday, and my shoulders are killing me from the weight work yesterday! So at the pool today I'll focus on legs only. The scale has been cooperating so far which really helps to keep my motivation high! Work is still long days but life could be worse. :)

    JFT:
    don't eat till 1pm
    stay within calories
    100 oz water
    pool workout (I'm giving myself a check for this one since I'm up & mainling coffee - it's happening)

    Clean sweep yesterday. Even made it through trivia under calories. Only under by 38, but still green! I guess my stress is a little out of control. I've had a rash on my neck for the last several weeks. I usually get eczema/stress reaction on my hands and it isn't very noticeable. but this time it's on my neck and very itchy/red. Annoying, but not life threatening. Can't wait to get this old job wrapped up and move on. There is still a ton to do before I leave.

    Not sure what tonight has in store. I need to get some laundry done. I always need to get some laundry done...

    I gave up...again! I did well for most of May, but June I went off the rails again. It was so hot I was mostly just eating sandwiches, can't remember when my oven was last on. Anyway, the result is that I've put on a few pounds and I need to sort it before it gets even worse!
    The hot weather is gone, and it's another wet day. I've decided that instead of walking my son's dog sometimes I'll aim to do it every day. She won't object to 2 walks a day when he takes her out as well.

    I really don't want to do this, so will ease in gently.

    JFT Friday 30th June

    Walk dog
    Only one snack
    Eat some salad, even if it's in a sandwich!
    See builder (another one!)
    Business paperwork

    I've read back the last few pages

    @pridesabtch Congratulations on the new job, well done!

    @Bex953172 Hope your dog has recovered now. I would never have thought about their paws getting burnt inside, we are not used to so much heat. That's something for us all to keep in mind in the future.

    Yesterday was not exactly a win. I didn't stick to my eating plan, but I didn't do awful. It was weird, we had a catered business lunch and before I even realized it I had eaten a large cookie. It was good, but it didn't even register with me. I just blindly ate it. Oh well, today is a new day, and the week has been good. No reason to ruin it.

    Lots of work stuff today, and then a quick doctor appointment to see if we can treat the rash on my neck. I'm positive it's caused by stress, but I think a topical steroid might help get rid of it. It's been here for 3-4 weeks now and it is totally annoying.

    Tim is doing well and no longer taking the pain meds. That is a good sign, but he is considering not getting the shoulder replacement this time and just living with the limited mobility.

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 8:00 :( took 2 Benadryl last night and could not get up today...
    - Work stuff
    - Log food
