Haha, @Bex953172 I went to the college the other morning and found out that I dont need to take any more classes. So I'm graduating in May! Also, doing a second interview at the bank...so there is a very good likelihood that I will be getting it!3

Aww, poor @Bex953172 I feel bad for you! I don't know how I would be giving myself a shot. Probably not so good. Maybe just aim, close my eyes and shoot! Hope you feel better soon, and enjoy little Casey.
I google anything I don't know (replaces the encyclopedia set I remember as a kid). Found this for good sources of iron:
Liver
Meat, fish and tofu
Iron-fortified breakfast cereals or bread
Eggs
Pulses and beans
Nuts and seeds
Dried fruit - such as dried apricots, prunes and raisins
Wholegrains - such as brown rice
Soybean flour
Most dark-green leafy vegetables - such as watercress and curly kale2 -

JFT, 3/1/18
1. Log all food!
2. Focus on water(2-32oz) Still got some time before bed
3. Up at 7/usual routine/measurements/yoga(maybe) Everything but measurements. Gonna do it tomorrow
4. Meet R at 930 for our weekly breakfast Was super early because I overestimated how long it would take to get there
5. Have an AWESOME time with R It was short but fun. L was restless and rambunctious. No other kids were there to play with
6. Spend time with DH before he leaves for work/Make lunch Spent like 2 hours together. Almost forgot to put his lunch together. Lol
7. Meal plan/Shopping list(because I can afford food this week! Lol) Made a list of everything in my pantry cabinet. I always buy multiples of things I already have multiple of! (ex. 6 cans stewed tomatoes)
8. Do a prelim of March budget Did a very basic one because I dont know why my salary will be at the bank or when I will be paid.
9. Read/Nap(maybe) Nope. I really should have but I think I might just pass out on the couch watching the game when I finish this post
10. LIBRARY!!!! 3 Loads of laundry instead
11. Dinner(Leftovers)/Dishes(2x) Had a late lunch and a pint of ice cream at dinner time. Lol. At least it's all logged. Lol
12. Pens Game(send updates to DH) Doing this now. I have a feeling it's going to be a high scoring game. 6 goals between the 2 teams in 15 minutes!
13. Bed by 12 Probably earlier. I might only spend like a half an hour up with the DH
So I wrote this whole post but my computer gave me my first blue screen on this one. So a rundown, meeting tomorrow with the branch manager for the job, really really missing the DH tonight, feel like crap. That's about what I was going to say only with more detail. Lol.
Onto my list for tomorrow,
JFT, 3/2/2018
1. Log all food
2. 64 oz water
3. Up by 730
4. Morning routine/Yoga(maybe)
5. MEASURE
6. Aldi's
7. DH time
8. Bank meeting
9. Pick up groceries
10. Wash towels and bedding
11. LIBRARY
12. Read/Nap
13. Dinner w/ M&M(maybe)
14. Church meeting
I think that's it. Have a great night everyone!

Feeling good today as back under my October 1st weight! So, took me 2 months to lose what took 3 months to put on
Now going to work on getting lower!
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Stay positive
- Go to gym at lunch Did workout DVD instead as didn't have time for gym - burnt fewer calories but at least I did it!
- Finish work by 6.45
- No alcohol
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Leave work before 5pm to fight the snow!!!
Happy Friday everyone!5 -
@Bex953172 Red meat is the best I think. Also apparently vitamin C is good because it increases your propensity to actually absorb iron from other foods. So, nice oranges/satsumas, etc? Hope you feel better soon4

February: 173.6
March 1: 172.4.
March 31 goal: 170.4
Today: 172.6. Weather is supposed to be nice today. I'm trying to work on increasing the distance that I can run, in addition to continuing my strength training.. Not sure what the most effective way to do that would be. Should I just pick up somewhere in the middle of a C25k?

Aha! Yes!
The midwife said to take my iron with orange juice as it helps
But I have vitamin C in the cupboard! So I will take it with that x4 -
Missed you all & welcome newcomers!
I didn't post for 2 days which is not a good thing for me. I need the accountability.
Eastern Massachusetts is getting pummeled w/a bad coastal storm. Making me nervous!
Not walking dog (maybe later if wind dies down).
Do exercises at home & house clean.
Meditate 25 mins this afternoon
Listen to a podcast & read for inspiration.
Drink water-64oz min.
Track all my meals today.
Low carb/high protein. goal 150 grams.
Possibly pick up some veggies at grocery store.
Plan weekend meals.
Early to bed.
Have a great day!4 -
So it's just after 10 am here and like @Saragirl2 We are getting pummeled with the same storm. I think we are at the tail end of it though. It's just a miserable day out. It's snowing/sleeting/raining here and in the upper 30s. My driveway is flooding pretty terribly. The hazards of living a 1/4 mile in the woods along a dirt road! Lol.
But I have to start getting ready for my meeting soon. I'm not gonna shower because I did that last night and I've done my hair already. Just need to change, put on makeup and brush my teeth...not necessarily in that order. Lol.
I hope everyone is having a great day! I'll be on later to let you know how my meeting went!4 -
