    "Just For Today"

    Oh and incase it hasn't been mentioned... On this thread the "woo" button is used in a positive way like "woohoo!" there was a debate over MFP if it was like I dunno a sarcastic woo given the expression in the icon but yeah over here it's woohoo!

    Noon on Saturday- held the line yesterday even eating out on everything but sodium. I have been to one y water class and then messed around with kid to get in 25 more minutes in pool today. I weed ate a tiny bit of street edge for an old lady and then I have sat. 4 cups of water in-I just have to have ice to drink any large amount.
    I am going to do practically nothing this day--a bit down and so I am trying not to eat to pass time.

    Plan for Sunday-- 1. Don't be late for church. 2. Toe the line on calories-vegetables, salad. 3. Drink lotsa water.
    4. Go to cemetery and talk to husband. 5. Take out trash. 6. Mend son's stuffed animals that the dog chewed.

    Sorry to hear of those who are down--I go there too (well, I sort of live there) but things are bearable these days and I have to just sort of wade through. This just for today plan is very good for me as it is a manageable chunk. I will add in a bit to my prayers with you in mind.

    JFT Saturday

    - 8 glasses of water ✔️
    - Be in the green✔️
    - Close kitchen 9pm!✔️
    - Fill in paperwork and post.❗Priority❗✔️

    Yay all completed!

    Well I still have 2 glasses of water to have but I'll definitely have them before bed. I had to drink about 5 in an hour again lol! I've peed like 4 times, but Ive stuck to my goal!
    It's really boosting my mood getting back on track!

    Tbh I started feeling nauseous every day and couldn't figure out what it was, (nope not pregnant again.. . I checked LOL) but I think it was too much thyroxine because I've reduced my dose today and haven't felt sick? Soooo maybe. So need to book a blood test and see where that's at!

    I hope everyone's met their goals today!
    Just because it's weekend doesn't mean its any different! It's still 24 hours like any other day so treat it like any other day!
    We can do this!

    Love to you all!

    Walk??? - not my 5k the smoke was too bad. Had burning eyes and headache from just sitting outside

    Oh, all that smoke is potentially coming from my direction, :s My house smells like smoked food. At least it's cooled down a bit, we got 1mm of rain this afternoon. There was also a lot of thunder so hopefully no extra wildfires because that amount of water really wouldn't help.
