We ended up going to a local brewery for dinner so I had one beer. Not the plan, but way better than my typical 3 beers. Since Tim can't drink, we don't stay as long and I don't mind.
Mom was her typical selfish self. I don't know why I let her get to me, but I do. Oh well, I only have to deal with her on Thursdays. I try to communicate during the week, but she won't answer my texts.
Grocery was ok, we had a small cart and still had a $200+ bill at the end. I'm not even sure what we bought. No meat, no cleaners, just staples and some snack type things. Prices are crazy.
Nothing planned for today unless I go to by mulch so that I can work outside tomorrow. I'm really not a fan of landscaping, but the front of the house looks awful. So Saturday after spin class and before going to the theater, digging it is.

We've been trying to dig out a flower bed for our garden. Weve got the shape of it done and dug out lots of soil only to find there was lots of rubble and bricks under it. Alot of it was still stuck together.
So my dad came round as he has certain tools to help us break it up and pull it all out.
We then discovered something metal in the soil. Started trying to dig that out until we realised that there's a huge oil tank under the garden. So we just kinda.. put the soil back on top LOL
So yeah..
Not a fan of the gardening either but it's starting to take shape now! Plants go in this Sunday we hope!2 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.1

Went to the doctor yesterday. I’ve had pain in my right leg making it difficult to walk for the past few months. Doctor thinks it’s suspicious for SI joint or sacroiliac issue so I’ll be going to PT. I’m frustrated because I need to start walking and build my strength back up but my leg isn’t letting me. One day at a time….I just need to have patience I guess. 😉😊

I'm gonna start logging again I think.
Feel like I did much better when I was logging and also had more guilt when I was logging. Which sounds bad but guilt keeps me on track 😂
I'm literally eating what I want with no Fs given!
So I'm gonna try log today and see how I get on!3 -

Yesterday was ok. Today I’d busy, but not bad. I’ve already taught spin class and am back home. Tim is still sleeping, and I wanted to talk to him before I started the landscaping work. I’ll give him another 15 minutes then I’ll get started.
Looking forward to seeing Cabaret this evening. Chance to get dressed up a bit and feel pretty out at least not frumpy.

@Bex953172 I totally get that guilt in logging food works for you. Same for me. When I skip logging, it's as if I think food no longer has calories, and I can eat whatever I want. Oops 😬
JFT 4/20 ~ breezy, chilly with temps below normal, overcast, and I just don't want to walk dog in this weather
1) Salmon & veg for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) PT exercises
3) Last winter market of season / boil eggs / prep eggroll order & offering for Sunday church / read / other?
Had a good visit at my parents' but didn't see any of my brothers. Although oldest brother was back in town from work road trip, he was very grateful I took Mom to her eye appt. so he didn't have to. I had no idea her testing would take so long, she was in there over 90 minutes. Very glad I took a book to read. And she was so happy I drove her.
5# Challenge (ends May 1):SW 184 on 3/18/24
3/23/24 = 182.5 most likely sodium/water drop plus keeping portions proper
3/30/24 = 182 working hard to clean house & prep food for Easter dinner, no dog walks for one week due to that & weather
4/6/24 = 184 too many Easter treats & too few dog walks due to nasty weather
4/12/24 = 182 still some Easter treats, but more dog walks too
4/20/24 = 183.5 ack! too few dog walks due to weather & overnight travel, plus still some Easter treats around

It’s a cool cloudy day in Wisconsin. Boo…. I’m definitely getting cabin fever. I just feel like getting my hands in the dirt, feeling the sunshine and planting flowers. Hopefully soon! Didn’t get much done yesterday, so the goal is to be a bit more productive today. 😊😬
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! :flowerforyou:

Last night I cooked a large piece of turkey which I had in the freezer, with roast potatoes and lots of veg. I don't do that very often nowadays. One son came to eat, and the other called in with his family, but they'd already eaten. I forgot the newest dog is a food thief, and left the remaining turkey on the worktop to cool. Of course, she got it onto the floor and was eating it. There were at least 4 more meals in it, I was not impressed, I'm used to a well behaved dog.

Sounds like my dog 😂 he will literally try steal a biscuit from the girls hands if he gets the chance
And the second your backs turned he walks to the kitchen to hunt for scraps.
And the same with the sofa. I have to put a goddamn side table on the sofa so he doesn't get on it. And the second its not on the sofa he gets on it.
He gets in trouble for it all but at the end of the day I don't think he cares lol!
Sorry about your turkey though, it would annoy me if there was that many meals left.
Remember I posted about the girls Easter eggs and the dog ate one? Well he had ate 3 before Easter had even arrived!
It was infuriating, because it's dangerous to them but every time he's fine. It like he's made himself immune to chocolate lol!2 -
Logging didn't go great yesterday I know there's stuff I've forgotten but we were decorating yesterday and the difference is amazing!
We wallpapered yesterday and today we're painting! I also did an exercise yesterday but I have no idea how many calories that burns at the minute. Could really do with investing in a new fitness watch.Before

Good morning! I hope everyone’s having a great weekend!
@littleblackskirt Your meal sounds delicious! I’d be annoyed at the dog for eating the turkey too though! I had a black lab who stole a nice tenderloin steak off my plate when I turned my back once and I was SO pissed…. 🤯😬
@Bex953172 Your stories about your dog crack me up…between the girls and Biggee (I think that’s his name?), you have such a busy household. 😁 Your wallpaper looks so nice! What a big difference. Nice job! ♥️
I’ve been having a bit of a pout this morning. It’s beautiful out and I want to go for a walk, so I’m sitting here feeling sorry for myself that my leg hurts and I am not able to do much. Time to put my big girl pants on and stop it! It’s ridiculous, after all I’ve been through in the past 6 months, that I’d feel sorry for myself now! So, I hopped on here and voila! ’m out of the pity pot already! This group is so good for my soul. 🥰 :flowerforyou:
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Got about 2/3 of the front bed weeded, landscape material put down and mulched. I was just tired after spin class and really didn’t want to do it. 3 hours was enough for me. I finished it up today and did the small side bed along the front of the house.
Had on okay time last night. Tim was really down so it was hard to really enjoy the night. Dinner was good, dessert was great, drinks were limited, and the show was thought provoking and very bold/racy.
Went to church this morning made me feel better, made Tim sad because he misses V. Went to lunch, finished yard note it’s infusion time. He wants to go out to watch hockey tonight, but I’m not sure.

I was doing well, until family suggested a chinese takeaway (payback for their dog eating my turkey? lol) I had a small portion and stopped when I started to feel full (not always easy for me, was taught as a child to always clear my plate). I'm trying to tell myself that as long as my daily calories are always under my maintenance, which is just under 1800 calories, I should lose weight, even if it's very slowly.

JFT Sunday
- Be at peace with life as it is
Weekend wasn't bad. The scale shows me up 5 pounds from Friday, but I serious doubt that is a true number. I did eat a big meal with fancy drinks and dessert Saturday, but not 17,500 calories over. Plus I am sore from using muscles I don't normally use doing the landscaping. Sore muscles retain water. Should flush out in the next couple of days.
On a side note my landscaping looks pretty good. Need annuals to fill in the beds of perennials, but we still get frost on occasion (like today) so that will need to wait. I don't mind planting pretty flowers. I mind the weeding, putting down a barrier and mulching. Now that it's done I'm glad I did it.
Not much planned for today, work, take Tim to doc, drop off packages at UPS, the back to work. Maybe trivia this evening, but it's not our regular team so I don't worry if we miss it. We have won the past 2 Mondays.
JFT Monday
- Work by 8:00 8:05 pretty close
- Meetings

- Back to work

- Watch Bruins hockey game starts same time as trivia but there is a TV at the pub
- Bed by 11:002 -

I started an Excel sheet again to track my averages over weeks and months. I really want to get healthier this year, I am hoping that my foot pain eases up soon, I would like to start walking again. Funnily enough, I think that my New Balance runners are actually causing me more pain than my $30 Walmart sandals. I need to find something that works better for my foot.
Have a great day all.2 -
@pridesabtch We've been gardening too! Fortunately we didn't have to do any deweeding this year as last year we completely turned over the whole garden and killed anything off just to grow our grass (which has now also half gone due to the weather/flooding/dog etc)
I know nothing about plants 😂 but I know we just planted a whole bunch of perennials. Luckily B&Q (Major DIY Store, not sure if they're in the USA) have sections for "Flower one season" and "Flower every year". So I just webt to the flower every year and picked pretty ones 😂
Only thing I need to do now is re-seed the garden AND sort out my edge because I had it really neat and my dad wrecked it when he was helping us dig out the bricks. So NOT happy about that as I spent alot of time getting it neat in the first place!
Pics for those who wanna see!
^^ that's the metal thing under the grass. And under that is a massive oil tank apparently LOL ain't getting that out3 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until dinner after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.2
