So I realised the reason I was worried about going out was because I was taking all 3 girls out. There were just so many things that could happen. I could wear Casey in a sling and we both get hot and then there's no where I can put her, but then if I put her in the pram it means I have to put Marley on reins and if she decides not to walk... Then im screwed. I opted for Marley walking as the last thing I wanted was to be hot and sweaty.
She made it so far and then just got funny. Sitting down a lot but laughing about it, refusing to walk, wanted to be picked up then put down then up again. Got the library, put the books we already had on the thing (LOL I don't know what you call it, but you scan your library card to view your account and you can borrow books return books pay charges etc. So it's a bit like a till?) anyway where you scan the books is made of a thick clear plastic but it's lit up so you can see the rim. Anyway marley *somehow* didn't see it and nearly bust her lip open. She then just kept running off and blatantly ignoring me which got me more frustrated. I then had to get home. Got fed up and just put her on my shoulders LOL must have looked like Super Mum but she even moaned at that.
It took maybe 45 mins longer than I wanted it to. And used way more energy.
Marley was the problem lol all the way there and back.3 -
@Snowflake1968 - Haha no. It looks like a bomb went off. There's odds and ends left to pack. And moving supplies and boxes everywhere. My landlord has been showing the house since the beginning of the month and she was so happy when it looked nice. But, now she's pressuring us to have it "cleaned up and tended to" before this weekend! I tried, but it's not happening. I paid my rent til the end of the month so I don't think she has any legal ground to tell me to "clean up" before my lease it up. I know it'll get done but you're so right, it's my least favorite.
JFT Weds Recap
1. Be kind BIL was supposed to come over to see the house - he still hadnt shown up by 8:30 and I said some not so nice things and DH rescheduled. Although, this is actually a win for me - speaking my mind is hard sometimes, especially when I think it will cause confrontation. Also, see below.
2. Lots of water Yay finally drinking lots of water at home!
3. Cook dinner at home Omg - DH ate my last bite of mozzarella stick after I got up from the table to grab something. I was not done. And I was SOOOOOOOOO mad. The reaction did not fit the circumstance - but do NOT get between this girl and her cheese during that TOM.
4. Meds AM and PM
5. Take fish oil after dinner
6. Puppy puzzle

So yesterday was a bust. I couldn't even log I was so upset with myself. I can clearly identify the sequence of events-rough evening night before, slept for crap, got up late, didn't prep for the day, ate my feelings. I didn't used to think I was an emotional eater but holy cow. Guys I am an emotional eater. Today went better. I didn't pack a lunch but was able to grab a salad and went for a really nice 45 minute walk. Balance is better at work and I've got a nice weekend planned. Happy (almost) Friday everyone!

1. finish replanting plants before it rains on friday AND finished mowing the grass. Got all my hosta plants moved to a new bed, replanted a lot of ferns and day lilies. SO I am exhausted tonite!
2. log all food
3. drink water What is helping is that my hubby also does not drink water. So for each meal, I give us each a glass of water, and we have to drink 2 of these. For each meal today, hubby had his glass gulped down, while I may have a inch drank out of mine. So it is showing me how little water I drink. So ... gulping down those glasses of water
4. mindful eating ... pay attention to everything that I eat. Ask myself . am I hungry or just thirsty Even though my "mindful" eating led to 450 calories tonite!! I had a icecream bar, then still hungry. Had a bananna. Almost was going to have another ice cream bar, but I had some trail mix .... all measured and in little bags. So I had one of those, worth just 100 cal. So while I was over, I still did a little "mindful" thinking ... right!!!

I have made poor food choices all week for lunch, I need to come up with better options for myself again. Today I am meeting a friend for lunch so that won't be the best option either. I will get onto this next week for sure. My goal was to be 170 by September, I'm not going to make it. I hope I can at least get into the 170's still though.
I am meeting J today to come up with some set rates for the business. Things are moving along pretty quickly the promotional videos are being filmed tomorrow!

CSCHMITZ Wow, you are so down in the weight! I think I have lost some since the doctor's office but no tell-tale signs in the clothes.
My son's keyboard has decided not to type. Will tote it to Geek Squad tomorrow.
I have been eating uncontrollably but the site says I am keeping under limit. The 8 am pool class keeps me going there but then at home I am not doing much. I do have to go ride around yard after while. I am also way behind on water-will try to drink the gallon! I need to find food to eat -everything tastes like salt or just doesn't taste good. The Y class is having a party on Sunday afternoon and I am taking watermelon, cantaloupe and strawberries but I have heard there will be any kind of meat, banana pudding, deviled eggs, baked beans and I am sure lots of other really good comfort foods.
Okay-reminding self:
Watch that calories stay under limit, drink water until I float, do something that qualifies as exercise, pick up meds-surgery next Thursday, take my pills, and find melon baller/glass bowl, and sharp knives.
Taking 4 cups of ice water up to bed and watching show THEN we will mow!2 -
@maryrobinson40 -- we are all missing you ... and know we are all thinking of you. I know your brother is in hospice, and praying for you all.
@PackerFanInGB -- hoping your surgery went OK. Also, I know it is sad times for your family with your BIL's passing. Prayers and hugs to you.
@HEGoddard0928 -- hope all is well with you? Thinking of you.
@toaljasa -- we are all missing you on here, and hope you are doing well. You were always such a inspiration to all of us, so hope you post again!
@jeschepp -- I hope you have a better day today! I know when I am too tired, I tend to eat more also. I know I am an emotional eater ... but look at you! You are prepared for your day, and I know you will do great! Just knowing and being mindful is so important!5
