    Hugs @joan6630 - I’m not surprised you are stressed and anxious. I hope you get the decision you need on disability for your daughter. Take good care of yourself as well as her - she needs you healthy x

    I have had a good day today - seems to be my Monday pattern after a “bad” weekend. I guess it’s good that I get straight back on it, just wish I didn’t go “off it” in the first place!

    Anyway, despite a horrible rainy day, it’s all looking v green:

    - morning exercise ✅
    - 3ltr+ water ✅ yes!!!!!!!!!
    - Stay within calorie goal ✅
    - Yoga ✅
    - School uniform shopping with the kids ✅
    - Check in with lawyer ✅
    - Early night ✅

    Also took the kids to a pottery painting cafe and we had such a lovely time. It was v expensive, but made me think maybe I should buy some proper art equipment to use with them and after they go to bed as I so enjoyed helping them.

    Goals for tomorrow:
    - morning exercise
    - 3ltr + water
    - stay within calorie goal
    - Find an activity for the girls which isn’t weather dependent!
    - Cook dinner for a friend who is coming to see us
    - Online grocery shop
    - Sleep by 10

    10. Bed early because it has been a very long week and I'm exhausted! :s I tried so hard, but it was loud with everyone visiting in the living room and hard to get to sleep.

    My BIL & SIL left this afternoon to go back to Colorado. They've been with us for a week and it has been so much fun, but I am so exhausted! I'm looking forward to a quiet night at home with just me, my DH and my GD.

    2. Stay green
    3. NO ice cream

    5. Prepare for this week's lunches by cutting up veggies, boiling eggs, etc.
    6. Pack tomorrow's lunch and set coffee maker for tomorrow
    7. Tiny Habits
    *After I pour my coffee, I will read one verse of scripture
    *After I read one verse of scripture, I will say my morning prayers
    *After I eat dinner, I will pick out tomorrow's outfit
    *After I brush my teeth at night, I will wash and moisturize my face
    8. Evening ritual - Read Simple Abundance, New Day New You & write 5 things in Gratitude journal for today

    JFT, Monday
    1. log all food :)
    2. concentrate on water :)
    3. do tiny habits:
    After I take my morning shower, I will take my vitamin :)
    After I eat breakfast, I will fill up my water bottle :)
    After I have my planned evening snack, I will brush and floss my teeth :)
    4. NO EATING AFTER 7 PM. Somehow, I have to figure out a way to break this stress-relieving habit :/ I did eat a protein bar at 9pm ...... but .... I took my daughter to a frozen yogurt place, and I just drank my water!!
    5. write positive thoughts and concentrate on those today :/ So busy sewing, but will do this if I have time yet before bed.

    Water Challenge
    Apr 1: 0 glasses
    Apr 2: 8 glasses
    Apr 3: 4 glasses
    Apr 4: 6 glasses!
    April 5: 7 glasses
    April 6: 6 glasses
    April 7: 9+ glasses --- I lost track!! YAH
    April 8 - forgot to post, but I know I got in a lot. Maybe not quite 8 glasses though?
    April 9 - 8+

    I started out my day so down and grumpy, but tried hard to think positive. And ... it doesnt take long to see or hear of others that have it SO much worse. I talked to daughters apartment manager ... and once a week I am going to go and help my daughter clean her apartment. That way, I can see if any sinks are plugged, things needing fixing, etc. So hopefully this will work out, and we have no more issues. Hoping the rent stays the same .... and hoping and praying disability comes through. It will be a long 3 months waiting though.
    But foodwise - I did so much better, and got in over 8 glasses of water. I filled my large water bottle 4 times --- and took it with me when I took my daughter for ice cream, so that helped also! So .... a good day for me

    JFT, Tues
    1. go to the gym
    2. log all food
    3. do tiny habits: vitamin, water bottle, brush teeth after 7. Trying to turn these into habits!
    4. work on new quilt I am starting --- need to cut up over 400 1.5" pieces!! Am I crazy or what!! It will be a totally scrappy quilt!
    5. help hubby - have to ship tomorrow.
    6. Get hair cut/colored
    7. write positive thoughts and concentrate on the good
    8. get back on here - be accountable.

    BTW --- where is everyone? I only had to go back 1 page to find my posts! Oh -- thats right, I posted this morning, not last nite.Still .... seems very quiet on here today. Hope you are all doing OK?

    Had a lovely weekend away with the boyfriend - weather was appalling, but we had a good time regardless! It was a mixed bag food-wise - I made some good choices, but lots of bad ones too. However, back to normality and good choices now!

    Today's commitments:
    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - Exercise class after work
    - Stay calm and positive
    - Update to-do list

    So I have to come up with something to stop this!! I gulp water like crazy, but still give into eating.

    What about brushing your teeth? I used to do that when I wanted a smoke when I was quitting smoking it helped curb the urge because I never liked a cigarette after brushing my teeth. Maybe it would work for food too. That's my trouble time too, is in the evenings. I could go all day and not eat, and then blow it all after my husband goes to bed.

    Come up with a couple of ideas for paintings

    Last fall when I was unemployed I started a Paint Night at Home business. I really need to get some new paintings done to put on my FB page. I am getting tonnes of views but since I have no new paintings posted no one is interested in what they see. This would be a big help financially, I need to buckle down and do it!
