    So my goals for today
    1. drink lots of water - DID GOOD
    2. clean my ktichen since my hubby knows how to make the mess but clean it up...:/ - GOT IT MOSTLY CLEAN
    3. try to squeeze in a walk or a bike ride today since it is beautiful out there!! - MISSED DOING THIS

    Hope you all have a good day!

    My dad is doind much better already. He didn't even realize it was time for his pain meds cause he wasn't feeling it anymore.:smile:

    Weekend plans got shot but that's because my daughter got really sick and we are going to have to take her to the dr today. She has had a temp up over 100 since Friday afternoon and my MIL is a nurse and said we definitely need to take her today. We always ask her before jumping the gun and taking her right away. Fevers happen but when they last this long we start asking the nurses and doctors in the family before we go to a local doctor. lol Saves us time and money sometimes.

    My friend decided to come down here instead since we couldn't make it up there to see her. :heart: I was so happy to see her!! :heart:

    I don't have any goals for today just having a lazy day with my daughter till she feels better.

    Hope this weekend has been good for you all!:flowerforyou: I'm gonna cuddle up and watch some tv with my girl for awhile.

    Hey everyone! Thought since I had a few moments I would pop in and say Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. Beth, glad to hear your dad is doing better, been praying for him.

    Only 3 more days of my part time job and then I'm back at home and taking care of things here, which means I'll have more time for here again and taking care of other things. I so can't wait until we get back to our own place, not sure how much longer I can deal with the crap I've been dealt lately, but I'm managing....

    This weekend with food has been bad choices all the way around, but with my situation (which Beth knows about) its just a lot easier eating out....

    Well, I'm about to get off of here, clean up for the night and head out. Have a great night! Hoping to see you all in October, will try to pop in before then.

    @ Kymarai Honey lets be friends and keep each other going it is a rough workout but it is really worth it. I was walking at first and I enjoyed it but my schedule had to change when I went to the 20 minutes I felt like I wasnt doing quite enough which is the reason for the double workouts. Great job on thinking of ways of getting extra calories off I am going to use that idea! I never used to like jumping jacks or squats!

    So I'm still working on my kitchen....man I had no idea how bad it had gotten. My hubby had done nothing except dirty dishes while I was sick. I don't get why he does that but he really hates cleaning. I hate it too but its gotta get done... I can't wait for us to remodel the kitchen next year. We will be putting in a dishwasher so I don't have to do them by hand anymore!! Well at least most of them.

    So my goal for today is to finish the kitchen. Then work on laundry that fell behind too. I swear I don't know what he would do without me. Nothing would ever get done lol.

    Back on track! Love the motivation and support.
  • Goals for today:
    Start eating healthy again
    Drink water (even a little) and cut back on soda
    Take a walk

    If I start with very generic goals, hopefully, I'll be able to make more specific ones as I go :) I haven't been on MFP for a long time and definitely need the motivation to get myself back to healthy.
