    JFT Tuesday
    - Work by 7:30 :(
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - Home by 4:00 :smiley:
    - Hospital or In-laws house depending on where MIL is :smiley:
    - Dinner :neutral: eventually
    - Hockey :smiley: Go Bruins
    - Shower :(
    - Bed :smiley:

    MIL came home, but she is being extremely difficult and mean to her daughters and husband. Curding, screaming, scratching, you name it. When Tim and I are there she is better. Still dealing with dementia and hard to reason with, but not mean. Nobody knows how to deal with this. Tim's older sister had to go home today, and Tim had to work leaving the younger sister there to deal. Tim and I will go over after work, and he will stay with them tomorrow, Friday and part of the day Saturday. When she is steady on her feet they will not require someone there 24/7, but we aren't sure when that will be.

    I'm honestly just worn out. Being with the in-laws is emotionally taxing for everyone. We stay until 8:00 or 9:00pm each evening then go eat. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

    On an up note I spent the first half of the day teaching 102 (in groups of 15-16) about polymers and letting them do some hands on activities. It was messy, but fun. At work now getting ready for my last meeting of the day, YAY!

    JFT Wednesday

    @pridesabtch - We have the same problem with FIL. In fact, we were excited because when we moved him from his old place to the new place last year, the new place said they were going to take him off a lot of medicine, that they could cope with dementia. But after about 6 months we and they realized that FIL is just the meanest person and almost dangerous to himself and the caregivers when in his "normal" state. We finally asked them if it wasn't better to just give him something to calm him. So now he's taking something again. I don't know the names of what he was taking and what he is now taking, but regardless, it seems to have a calming effect. At first he slept a lot when they started it, but last weekend we were able to take him to dinner and give him a haircut. These elder issues are not easy.

    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.

    Looks like I missed posting yesterday. I got out into the garden early and wasn't back online. Went over calories anyway, had an unexpected visit from a friend who's having some family problems. It required choc chip cookies. I did that stupid thing of giving up for the rest of the day just because I'd eaten 2 cookies (only 230 calories but enough to mean I couldn't hit my target for the day).

    JFT Thursday 16th

    THINK before I eat
    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    PF exercises
    Back exercises

    Ended up leaving the in-laws around 7:00 and caught the end of trivia. Shot some pool and talked with friends until later than anticipated. It was nice to relax a bit. Long work days for me today & tomorrow. 8:00am to 7:30pm. It's only 11:00 and I'm already tired. Tim is spending the day with his parents, and trying to get a little work accomplished, but they don't have Wi-Fi so it's a little difficult.

    I'll pick Tim up around 8:00 and we'll likely go to the grocery as we have no food in the house. It will be another late dinner.

    Helly my JFT friends!
    Oh my! 138 posts behind again! I will try to read a few pages at a time to catch up, but I need to just post my goals in the meantime or I'll never do it!

    I've been slowly regaining my strength after chemo. It really kicked my *kitten* this time. I spent so much time lying down, sick, that my muscles have actually weakened a lot. It's hard for me to even walk up our basement stairs! That's just ridiculous! I've started physical therapy to strengthen my muscles and to work through some SI joint pain so I can start a walking program. I go next Wednesday for my first therapy session with PT. I had a consultation with them last week but they weren't sure how aggressive they could be since MRI showed a fracture in my L4 disk (the one that had cancer in the bone) last October. They don't want to do anything that could hurt me more. BUT, GREAT NEWS, they did an xray yesterday to assess my spine health and results show I don't have an acute fracture anymore and there is no sign of cancer in the bones now either! YAY!! The other thing that happened in the past couple weeks is that I've started getting random ocular migraines, so they did an MRI of my head to make sure the cancer hasn't spread to my brain, and those results were clear also. So YAY!!! On Tuesday, I had my maintenance treatment, and the oncologist told me that my cancer is under very good control and I'm really doing great, so I'm very happy about that. Next CT scans will be in June.

    Enough about cancer,.. I'm sorry...I don't want to be someone who comes on here and just complains about my aches and pains. It's just such a big part of my life right now and over the past 6 months it's almost all-consuming. I really want to find a way to move past it being the center of my life! So depressing!

    So, my goal now is to adapt to a healthier lifestyle....moving more, building up my strength, cleaning up my eating (more whole foods vs the yummy processed stuff that I love so much), more water, better rest, less anxiety, more peace. I want to get back to a normal routine life, and this thread is such a big part of that to me and has been for many years! I think maybe 2015 or 2016 Joan first started this thread?

    I hope everyone is doing well! I can't wait to read and catch up! Our yard is nice and green now, lilacs are blooming, as well as the Lily of the Valleys! I love those... Hopefully we can plant some tomatoes and other veggies soon. It's raining buckets right now, but it's supposed to be near 80 all weekend. :)

    Just for Today, 5/16:
    1. 24H food plan:
    * L- avocado/tomato toast, pear.
    * D - taco salad or bean burrito. chips & salsa. fruit.
    * Sn - Vegs & dip. Fruit. Nuts. Toast. Something sweet for Dessert.
    2. Assess yesterday's 24H food plan
    3. 64 oz water before 6:00 pm
    4. Journal
    5. Close 2 activity rings on Apple watch
    6. PT exercises
    7. Love on my home & family: Laundry, floors, dust.
    8. Start sewing B's quilted pillow covers. Listen to audible book? Podcast?
    9. Evening Routine: Brush, floss. Face cleanse. Lotion. Devotionals. Gratitude Journal. Prayer Journal.

    2024: Healthy, Happy & Grateful. Today, I choose peace over worry.

    @PackerFanInGB so glad you are feeling better and that the scans show no cancer in your bones or brain.
    That is amazingly good news.

    Your yard sounds lovely. Good luck getting some veggies planted.

    Log everything ✅
    Stay in the green ✅
    PF exercises ✅

    Pleased with how it went yesterday. There were several times when I might have eaten something unnecessary, but I thought about it and stopped myself. I also shopped and bought a few things for evening meals, which is where I usually fall down. I need to remind myself every day of all the health reasons I'm doing this!

    I weighed this morning. Seems I've put back on 2 of the 3 pounds I lost in April. Frustrating.

    JFT Thursday
    - work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Meetings 8-10, 11-12, 1-2, 5-6 & 6-7 :smiley:
    - Pick up Tim and visit for a few. :smiley:
    - Grocery :smiley:
    - Dinner :smiley:
    - Home :smiley:
    - Sleep :smiley:

    Yesterday was long, but okay. Did finally go to the grocery store. I think we bought more alcohol than food, but we did get the staples.

    Another late night at work, that I am not looking forward to. I came in an hour late, so that the 4 extra hours at the end won't seem as bad. It says something about my habits when the attendant at the gas station knows my schedule well enough to comment about me being late for work.

    Tim is getting really tired of not being able to drive. He said he might buy a car today. I reminded him that he wasn't supposed to drive, but I don't think he cares. He can drive left handed, which is fine as long as there are no incidents where he needs to swerve to avoid something.

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 9:00 :smiley:
    - Catch up with MFP & FB :smiley:
    - Maybe go out for lunch
    - Mom's this afternoon to sort bills

    - Dinner

    Happy Friday! It’s going to be a beautiful day here. My husband and son will be going to clear trees for a driveway on our lot up north. I decided not to go with them because I’d just be in the way and I don’t want to sit in the car for hours…so I’ve got my list of things to do here instead. But I’ve already got FOMO about not going with them…I don’t much like being left out of day trips. 😂

    Yesterday I went grocery shopping with Tim for the first time since last October! I was happy to feel strong enough to go with him, but I remembered quickly that I hate grocery shopping! There’s that FOMO again…. 😉

    Have a great day everyone!
