    Recap Sun. 2/25 - Rain & sleet last night made roads ice rinks once again. Couldn't get my car up driveway and into garage after church this morning. Plus wind advisory until 3p.m. with gusts up to 40-50 mph. So no dog walk today. Sad dog & sad me. :'(
    1) Bible class :smiley: / church :smiley:
    2) Treadmill = Nope, took nap instead and felt oh so good! That's why I walk in a.m.'s even though I'm not a morning person...excuses come too easy later in the day. :/
    3) Net calories green / >12c water to flush sodium = Nope :/ and 14c water :smiley: This week has been a little out of control for net calories...need to get back on track. :#
    4) At least 1-2 items on to-do list = Yep :smiley:
    5) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / bed & TV off 10:15 :smiley: (treadmill M a.m. before work)

    JFT M 2/26
    1) Treadmill 2 mi (too many snooze alarms for 3 miles) / 32:50 / stretched after = :smiley:
    2) At work today, do not check JFT/MFP every 10 minutes for baby watch, neet to actually work. Thinking of you @Bex953172 and little Casey Leigh!
    3) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    4) Net calories green / monitor as usual
    5) Not sure of evening plans...if stay home, at least 1-2 items on to-do list
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (want 3 miles on treadmill T a.m.)

    So I have news! I went to the Community College where I started my Associates Degree in 2006. I sat with an Advisor to go over what I need to graduate...well... I DONT NEED ANYTHING!!!!! I'M GRADUATING IN MAY!!!!!

    I'm graduating with a 3.0 even though I failed 2 classes my last semester there in 2010. I actually have more credits then I needed! I didn't even need to take the two classes I failed because I already had enough credits. I just didn't think to check because I thought I needed way more at that point. Lol. I'm just so excited! I told my DH and he freaked out like I was. Lol. I almost started crying when he hugged me. Lol.

    Wooohoo!!!! Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you. That is a huge accomplishment :joy:

    I actually laughed out loud at this in my cubicle because that is exactly what I was doing! I don't think I have ever logged onto MFP/JFT this often in one morning! Like a nervous pacing grandma, I am! LOL!

    Yesterday I made the decision to stay the afternoon at our relatives' home and do laundry, clean and get supper ready & serve. I walked into a disaster & couldn't leave. I want a better quality of life for them. Even though I was exhausted I was laying in bed awake & upset. I had to finally take Melatonin to allow myself to drift off. Feel better today and so grateful to have my health in my home.


    Hugs to you, @Saragirl2 . I think I would be much the same way...upset and trying to do what I can while I'm there, and then go home and lie awake obsessing about what I could do to try to fix things. I'm a "fixer" from way back. I'm not saying that you obsessed, but that is what I would do. All I can say is I'm sorry...I wish I could help. I'm sending you hugs from Green Bay. (((SARA)))

    @HGSmith0920 -- SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

    @eshebam - you have great goals! I especially love the one about going to the gym -- even if you don't feel like it!

    @Saragirl2 - It is hard when we see our loved ones suffering and not having the life we wish for them. I am this way all the time with my daughter. She lives in a 1 bedroom apartment, and she will not let me in it, because it is usually a mess. I want a better life for her, but it is hard. Hugs to you. I am learning that we cannot change many things, but we can take good care of ourselves, so we are there for our loved ones.

    @NSnewme18 - you and I both have the same goal weight. Its taking it one day at a time .... no matter how long it takes. You are doing great.

    @Bex - I am so sorry for all you are going through to get this little baby into the world! Hoping to hear some wonderful news from you real soon!! Like the others, I think I have checked on here twice already today ---- so come on Baby Casey!!!

    @Bex953172 where's da baby????

    @Bex953172 is in the uk and if where she is anything like where I am, then the baby probably doesn’t want to come out because it’s so so cold!! We don’t deal well with extreme temperatures here and the tabloid newspapers are in hysterics because some snow has fallen! :D

    But actually it did have an impact on my goals today:

    - exercise before kids get up (never skip a Monday) ✅
    - Water 3ltr :) 2ltr of plain water but with other drinks probably made it
    - Stay in calorie goal ✅
    - Prep for 3x Parents meetings this week :| two out of 3 but needed to speak to specialist re the third
    - Put in medical appt request ✅
    - Go and get car at lunchtime and drive in donated toys and books :/ didn’t fancy the run home in the blizzard and the potential for getting stuck and not making it back to work
    - Maybe hot yoga after work :s meeting overran and no car so couldn’t.

    JFT 27/2:
    - early exercise
    - Calories
    - Water
    - Toy donation and yoga (weather dependent)
    - Early night

    Enjoy the rest of your Monday gang. I’ll be bobbing back on here occasionally to see if there is news ;)
