    Well, today was an epic disaster, goals-wise. I had one goal: eat 3 meals. At last count I was somewhere around 5 (assuming that ice cream counts as a meal). On the bright side, I'm feeling a bit better. At least, it's good enough for me to be going back to school tomorrow. I'm hoping the return to routine will help me sort myself out.

    JFT - Thursday
    • Do 1 workout video (10 minutes)
    • Do my ab workout (it's like 3 minutes at most)
    • Eat 3 time - FOR REAL!
    • Survive the entire school day & recover from 1.5 days with a SUB - YIKES!

    OMG you guys. My last post-can you tell I was tired? 10,000 calories a day! I meant 10,000 steps! Good lord. Anyway, it might have been a Freudian slip because I have been eating terribly this week. Really not great. I wasn't even going to post here but I thought, I owe it to my soul sisters to be open when I struggle. Accepting where I am at is the only way I'm going to take steps to get back on track. SO, my pledge for tomorrow is to 1. Get up earlier and 2. Meal prep a healthy breakfast and lunch. I'm done at a reasonable hour, so I am able to cook a good dinner as well. 3. Stay within my calorie limit. These are the habits that got me on a healthy streak, and they are what will keep me healthy long-term. As always, thanks for *listening*
    Loving the kiddo pics! Such cuties!

    For today:
    30 minutes exercise :( still fighting this cold!
    Track food and exercise ✅ Didn't want to! Did it anyway.
    5 good groups :(
    Water challenge-80 oz. ✅
    Gratitude: today I am thankful for reminders that acceptance, while uncomfortable, is absolutely necessary for change. Also Great British Bake Off, that show is freakin amazing :)
    Post here for accountability ✅

    For tomorrow:
    Follow my pledges above!!!
    30 minutes exercise OR bed an hour early, depending on how this cold is
    Track food and exercise
    5 good groups
    Water challenge-80 oz.

    I'm all caught up! Holy crow, there was a lot of stuff going on while I was MIA! So, here goes my attempt at supporting everyone. :smile:

    @Snowflake1968 Your daughter did a nice job with your perm! How do you like it? Is it easier to style? I have only had one perm in my life and my hair turned out like a curly clown wig! I'm sure they are much better than they were way back then though! hahaha! I'm sorry to hear about your MIL. How is she doing? Glad to hear the Calgary guy is going to be coming out to help drum up business, but was sad to hear about your new venture being postponed. :heart: So many good ones in all different venues of entertainment! (I love this show. Can you tell?)

    I hope I got everyone! Sorry for taking up an entire page of my own on here, but I have a lot of time on my hands right now! bwahahaha! :innocent::naughty::wink:

    Wow you must have had a notebook beside you taking notes as you caught up!
    I actually liked the perm, but I think their perm solution was old or something as one of the other's didn't take at all and mine is almost gone already. It made a serious difference in managing my own natural curls that I may consider getting another one. Before we moved to Alberta my hair was straight, and I used to get perms. We moved here and my hair went curly and I straighten it. I just can't be pleased I guess!

    I am very happy to report my MIL got home from the hospital yesterday, we talked to her for about 40 minutes last night and she sounds better than she has sounded for months now. She said she feels much better and was talking about flying out next summer for Kaitlyn's wedding.

    I love AGT as well, I am so torn this year on who I want to win. I always console myself that even by appearing on the show the finalists usually end up being successful. This and The Voice are the only two talent type shows that I watch.

    Hopefully you are walking without crutches now and still getting some peace!

    I wondered about your 10K. Good for you for getting the steps in even on days that suck! I very rarely get 10000 steps in even on days I purposely go for a walk. Part of my problem is I track it on my phone and I leave my phone sitting around more than I do LOL I am hoping to buy a Leaf soon.

    The accountability to everyone on here has helped me immensely. Even the morning I have to come back and say "No, I didn't achieve that goal" makes me strive harder the next day to reach them. It's nice seeing that this is a struggle for all of us at some points and other days we are very accomplished!

    We can do it!

    This is my first entry. JFT:
    Carb intake of 60 or less. This translates to a lot of veggies for meals :-)
    stretching, planks, etc: 1/2 way done.
    Dance for 45 min: TBD
    Personal Journal entry: 5 min.

    I think if I can do these, I'll be happy.

    I was thinking last evening that within another couple weeks I'll have to buy some reflective gear. Do you buy athletic reflective gear or do you just use a safety vest like on construction sites? I'm trying to decide how to go about this. I'll also need something warmer and not sure what to do for that either.
