JFT, 5/14/18
1. Up by 530 Just couldn't manage it. I'm pretty positive that I'm not pregnant now. I dont have any of the symptoms. I think they may have all been psychosomatic last week
2. LabCorp by 6 My body demanded sleep instead
3. Breakfast(Maybe) Didnt wake up with enough time
4. Meditate/Pray(Need to start doing this again!) See #3
5. Work 8:15-515(going to try and leave early) Left at 4. Had a good day.
6. Pick up order
7. Make calls to junk Acura! Going to do this over the weekend. There's no point trying to figure out a time that someone will be home during the week when the DH and I will both be home this weekend.
8. Dinner/Dishes Made the Skillet Lasagna again. @Snowflake1968 I just remembered that you asked me for the recipe! I'll post the link below
9. Pick up living room I think we watched YouTube videos all evening. Although I did clean up the kitchenette a bit.
10. Tech off by 10:15 Cant remember
11. Face/Teeth We both passed out on the couch and then dragged ourselves to bed. We barely remembered to take out nighttime meds. Lol
12. Bed by 11 Probably closer to 11:30 but honestly I can't even remember. Lol
We had a really good day today. Work was pretty slow business wise but the day flew for me. It seems to do that a lot. We had a couple come in to open a joint checking .5 hours before we closed. They were still there when we locked the doors at 5. The Laura's let me leave at 5 since everything was done and there was no point in all three of us sitting there. It was 90F when I left work today! I forgot to turn the air on before I left so it was a sauna in the house when the DH got home. As you know, I live in a tiny house but when it's that hot out it takes a long time to get cool. We also have a whole bunch of windows in the living room that the sun beats down onto.
The DH's store is literally the best in the company. Out of 700 stores, his got perfect score numbers wise for the first quarter. That has never happened before. So they are having a big party/celebration tomorrow. The president and vice president of the company will be there. He is a huge part of the reason that the store did so well. He's kind of an unofficial manager there. I hope that he gets the credit he deserves.
Tomorrow I dont think anything is going to happen(for once!). DH closes so I'll be home by myself. I will probably use it to clean and catch up on some reading. Im actually kind of excited. I usually dont like being home alone all evening but I've been so busy every night the DH closes the last couple of weeks it will be nice to have some time to myself.
Okay!
So onward!

So apparently 5 of the 7 lb I gained on holiday fell off overnight - yay! I knew I couldn't have actually gained 7lb of 'real' weight, but didn't expect that much to fall off immediately. Means that overall I'm only 2lb up, which I don't think is bad going for two weeks of overeating!!!
Yesterday's commitments:
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Pre-log and stick to food plan I didn't eat everything on it, either!
- Drink 2 bottles of water 2.5!
- May challenge: 15+ minutes walking
- Stop work by 5.30pm 5.45, but then spent 1 hour clearing out my desk whilst waiting for my French class. We are moving to 'smart working' next week where we can vary our hours but don't have a fixed desk. Hence I need to clean out 2.5 years worth of accumulated stuff.... didn't quite get through it all so may have to spend more time in the day on it on Friday!
- Make decision on job application
- Make decision on politics motion
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Drink 2 bottles of water
- May challenge: 15+ minutes walking (to work)
- 30 minute lunch break (French/ life admin)
- French podcast + article + book
- Focus on key priority (ignore desk clearing)
- Read emails at set points only

Find some exercise time tonight
My husband's schedule has changed yet again. Last year he worked evenings and they were apparently really hoping he would do that this year as well. He is willing to, but when he asked for days they gave it to him. He is training some people to work evenings now so his schedule keeps changing every 5 minutes. I guess I'll see what happens this weekend. The girls and I were hoping he would keep Jonah on Monday so we could go to an antique sale without him. Looks like Jonah is going to have to join us girls I'll bribe him with something to make it worth his while.
My legs are feeling better today, the muscles in the calves are still very tight but they aren't hurting so that's a bonus!
Funny Story - I was on a message board the other day I can't remember which one. Anyway, someone made a comment that was encouraging and someone else hit the Woo button. The original poster questioned why the Woo. I said doesn't Woo mean "woohoo", "great job"? Several people came back and said no it means, woo as in not scientifically proven, bunk. I guess I've been insulting a lot of people without even knowing it LOL3 -

Well, on this board it's my understanding "woo" does mean woo-hoo! I woo-hoo on here frequently, and refrain from doing so on the other boards. You can "woo" me any ol time!!!5 -

On this board lots of us use 'woo' as 'woo hoo' - this was discussed a little while ago actually but think this was before you joined!
So woo away! (Perhaps we should reiterate this occasionally for newbies)4 -
