    November: 183.6

    March: 179.6

    April 3: 181.2 - Tomorrow is another day.

    Woo, that's gonna be a lot of grading today. Let's see how it goes. I've still got that folder, plus I think there's some in the yellow folder, and then there's the big manila one that has all the late work.

    I think I want to try to get to the tiny Greek restaurant that's only open for lunch on weekdays, and stop by the liquor store that's nearby on the way either to or from it. Went to the one near the library yesterday but there were three things on our list and they didn't have ANY of them. And I'm picky. But like... booze is expensive. I'm not going to get something other than what I really want. :P Also, I've decided that I prefer Topo Chico to San Pellegrino; it's bubblier.

    If I can get the green folder done today, tomorrow will be a good day to go suit shopping. And I've now got four books out from the library that are due in two weeks. I think I'm going to try to get the two digital ones finished first, because I can't renew them; they just get marked 'expired' and then if someone else has them checked out I'm out of luck. But then that means that I have GOT to remember to renew the others... because that's how I end up with whopping big fines and feeling guilty for not being responsible!

    And I still haven't gone outside for my run/walk combo. It's COLD :P

    - Leave work by 5.30 :neutral: 5.45. I did actually turn my laptop off at 5.30, apparently it takes 15 mins of faffing before I actually leave...

    - Leave work by 5.30

    I'm curious, what do you work at that you have to work so hard to leave on time?

    Make sure that you're getting enough water - a headache is often an early symptom of dehydration. Feel better!

    Thank you! The thing is that it's relatively easy to return them when I can make time to read. But I'll go for several cycles and then something comes up and I forget and I've got a whole bunch of books out and then WHAMMO! Two days overdue and I'm $5 in fines. Grrh!

    Fortunately with just two physical copies it shouldn't be TOO bad if I miss the deadline.

    March goals
    Under 167 :) Made it but bounced back a titch this week.
    Medication on track. I tend to forget a dose when unscheduled things pop up and then don't feel well. :|
    Studio twice+ /week :D
    Work on pink/blue quilt, hopefully borders finished quilting. Actually hopefully complete and on my bed! :) Not on my bed but the borders are done and the binding is machined on and mostly hand sewn!
    Declutter entry :) I took 4 boxes to the thrift store.
    Accountability :) Thanks all

    Medication on track. I tend to forget a dose when unscheduled things pop up and then don't feel well.
    Studio twice+ /week
    Work on pink/blue quilt to be completed and on my bed! So close!
    A couple other small projects.
    Declutter entry further. It’s not actually an entry, per se. It’s a multipurpose room that we enter the house through. Laundry, storage, recycling, coats and shoes. I want it less junky and I want less stuff in my space at any rate so I need to put more effort into this.
    Accountability

    Mar 21 169.4 ?
    Mar 14 168.4 I dropped my drinking lots for the past 2 days when I went back to work. Stalled the loss?

    At our libraries you can renew online so you basically extend your lending time and don't get the fine!
    But that's the UK.. so don't know if that's something yours does

    i think it's the weather here. the wind yesterday was gusting to 60mph, so allergies are nuts.

    You can do it Karen!! Remember how quickly it takes to eat that apple crisp -- that yummy taste will be gone in a matter of seconds. And then you will regret it. Not worth it --- keep up your good work!!

    @Bex953172 Casey is gorgeous! My oldest had hair like that - and I had terrible heartburn in the pregnancy so for me that old housewives tale was true.

    A very busy day today. Totally unintentionally over 20000 steps so I am shattered! But hit most of my goals so happy.

    Goals for Wednesday:
    - early workout ✅
    - 3ltr+ water :| only if you count coffee
    - Stay within calorie goal ✅
    - 12noon appt in the city ✅
    - Come home straight away and eat prepped food at home :) had lunch with my partner near his work as was nearby for my appt. Spontaneous but I made a sensible choice and enjoyed it.
    - 3pm hosp appt ✅
    - 6 more reports ✅ actually 9 more!
    - Early night :/ nope, but knocking out 3 extra reports and baking a cake as a thank you for a friend made the late night worth it :)

    Goals for Thursday-
    - early exercise
    - Water!
    - Stay in calorie goal
    - Do 6-8 more reports
    - Maybe lunchtime hot yoga
    - Early night!

    Night all x

    November: 183.6
    December: 176.6
    January: 174.6
    February: 173.6
    March: 179.6

    April 4: 179.6 - Well, at least it's heading in the right direction. Didn't get today's grading DONE but I made a significant dent in it. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the green folder done, the manila folder started, then go for my run, then do some outlining before lunch. After lunch... gosh, I just don't know how long to budget for suit shopping. UGH. And I'm working tomorrow night. I'm off Friday, but I've got the doctor's appointment and I'm not sure how long that will take.

    We do have online renewals available - my problem is that I lose track of what day it is and when I finally remember to check they're overdue ;p
