    Start drinking water. Sometimes being thirsty can be misconstrued for hunger. Put some fruit in your water to flavor it if regular water doesn't satisfy you. :smile:

    Yes ma'am it does :blush: All I did was undergraduate research but I am happy to be done. Next semester I am completing my Senior Research which is based off my undergraduate research topic so I can get a head start over the break if I want. I think for now I'm just going to sit back and try to enjoy this pregnancy. I've had ups and downs with it bc it set me behind in school. So I think this little holiday break where we can focus on family, etc will help bring me back to positive, happy and exciting thoughts of the future. :wink: Don't take that the wrong way, I'm super happy to be blessed with another little person :smiley: Sometimes it is just hard when society, friends and family question your priorities, lol! I'm a much thicker skinned person when I do not have prego hormones controlling me :joy:

    @bcTRAI - Sorry, I missed your comment to me! The play is The Mysterious Affair at Styles, based on the novel by Agatha Christie. It's a murder mystery where a rich old lady is the victim and everyone thinks the much-younger second husband she recently married is the murderer. I get to play the brash gardener who says what everyone's thinking with just about zero filter, which is LOTS of fun!

    Congratulations!!! (Agatha Christie fan here.) :)

    When are the performances?

    So much to catch up on, and thank you all for listening to my rambling. I've just been an emotional wreck, and seeing the effects of my sons divorce on the kids is so hard, Hopefully in time it will get easier. But... I did have lunch with DIL, and just bite my tongue, Just kept in friendly. It is much better that way, and I know there are 2 sides to things. So I am trying, at least as much as I can to stay out of the details. She gave me some of the kids toys though, so that was good.

    But... I AM having a great time with the grandsons, and getting a lot of physical exercise in. Yesterday I baked Xmas cookies, and tonite the boys can have fun decorating them. We are having fun without the toys, so it's been good. The boys did a lot of talking, so doing the best I can to help them.


    But...... They are the pickiest eaters!!!! You guys with kids .... Is this normal!! OMG--- just finding a restaurant they can both agree on is so hard, and frustrating. Then you spend money for food, and they eat a few bites!

    But, back to my goals for today
    Decorate cookies, but only eat
    Drink 8 glasses of water today


    I will be home tomorrow, so get back to setting goals, and healthier eating

    I love Agatha Christie! I have many of her books. Just saw Murder on the Orient Express with Kenneth Branagh. Sounds like your part will be a blast! Kudos to hubby too.

    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 17,906 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) hours & 87 floors! Yes, 87 floors, earned my Ferris Wheel badge. Mostly due to stairs breaks during day, elevation changes during dog walk and lunchtime hike (see #3). :smiley:
    3) Participate in workplace mindfulness hike at lunch = MapMyWalk 1.01 miles in 36:26. Kip, our leader, had us going up / down hills by football field at least 4 times! Nice break midday even with strong winds, at least sun was out. B)
    4) Net calories green = Green! :smiley:
    5) To-do list in evening / keep it going = More progress, but my list is always longer than my time/energy. :D
    6) Unwind 9:30 / floss & retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = Done / done / done :smiley:

    JFT W 12/6 - Unplanned non-dog walk day...when hubby got home from work 12:30 a.m., excited dog barked & woke me up, so I got up and chatted with hubby for while, then had trouble going back to sleep. So hit snooze button instead of dog walk. Sad dog. :#
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    2) Maybe decorate dept. office this afternoon?
    3) Net calories green / lunch at work b/c class at noon followed by short meeting
    4) To-do list in evening
    5) Unwind 9:30 / floss & retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (want to walk dog R before work)

    Congatulations! That sounds so incredibly freeing. My own personal filter seems to be cranked up to maximum all the time.
