    Posting @ 6:30 North Carolina time.
    Saturday night was eventful, but without going into a long drawn out story, I'll sum
    It all up by this...
    6,756 steps
    2.74 Miles
    942 cal. burned
    64 Mins. Recorded by my FitBit.

    I'm nosy and want to know the details! ;)

    JFT:
    • Walk
    • Laundry
    • Tidy kitchen

    Briefly: My oldest daughter calls me in distress around 9p.m.
    Boyfriend beat her
    I don't have a car, noone else available and she lives 35 miles away.
    Daughter said he put her out she was in her socks,jeans, and a thin
    Sweat jacket type.....no shoes. Police were called from her end, meanwhile
    I walked to my ex's apartment, got his car to go rescue her.
    That's where the miles and walking came in. Daughter is with me for now.

    So sorry, Mary! I'm glad she's with you now. πŸ’•

    \

    1. Log food(making homemade soup so I will attempt) :)Logged everything but the spices because I did them to taste
    2. Drink 2 32oz cups of water :)Had to chug the last one down as I was laying bed but I got it done!
    3. Fold clothes :)This usually takes like 45 minutes at least because I fold a certain way and there was like 4 loads of them. Lol
    4. Take shower :)All squeaky clean!
    5. Pay benefits :DMoving this to today. Actually, I'm going to do it when I'm done with this. Lol
    6. Dishes right after dinner :)!All done
    7. Bed prep by 930 :D10
    8. Lights off by 10 :D1030 but at least it wasn't as bad as it usually is.

    Had a good evening even though I am still sick. I can feel the cold starting to settle into my chest I think. I have a bottle of orange juice sitting in my fridge. I think I need to throw my calories out the window to drink that to try and make it go away. I hate being sick. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've been sick since I quit smoking 2.5 years ago. Went to bed a little later then I want. It's the DH's fault. Lol. It was still a reasonable time though so I'm not too upset. Although I did have a hard time falling asleep. Took me like 15-20 minutes. I know this doesnt sound like a lot but I'm usually out in less than 5 minutes. Lol.

    Today I am back to work :( After the terrible way Friday ended I'm really hoping that this week is better. Veteran's Day is next Monday and we are off. I took the Tuesday and Wednesday after that off so I have 5 days off. I just need to make it through this week! Come on Friday! Lol.

    It's going to be a wet and gloomy day today. I dont like it. It was gorgeous yesterday. Brisk but sunny. The leaves have all changed and are falling. I love it! This is my favorite time of year. Lol

    Okay, enough chatter!

    JFT, 11-5-18

    1. Dont worry about logging. Drink lots of orange juice
    2. Order cat liners
    3. Research SB
    4. Remember soup for lunch
    5. Food shopping after work. Make sensible shopping list
    6. Pork chops for dinner
    7. Dishes right after dinner
    8. Bed prep 945
    9. Lights out 1030

    I hope everyone has a great day!

    GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL LADIES!!!
    I HOPE EVERYONE HAS AN AMAZING WEEK OF PROGRESS, POWER, AND PURPOSEFUL LIVING

    I'M MY OWN DRILL SARGENT AT TIMES...πŸ˜‚πŸ’ͺ MOVE IT! MOVE IT!!! GET AT IT! GET 'ER DUN...LMBO
    WE'RE ALL IMPORTANT WOMEN IN THIS WORLD AND WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE.πŸ’―πŸŒΉπŸŒΉ NOT ONLY TO
    EACH OTHER, BUT IN THE WORLDS WE'VE CREATED AND NURTURED...
    WE have to be important to ourselves first and become our best selves in order to be an even greater impact

    Forget our yesterdays, unless it's to learn from them, and grow from them. Let's give our TODAY
    all we can by being in the moments we're blessed to have. Don't get stuck in the behind, which
    you can't change anyway.

    Back on track now, hopefully. I think I need to re-evaluate my strategy for losing weight as clearly it's not working. I'm thinking of re-evaluate reading the Beck Diet Solution - while some of the lessons have gone in, some just haven't stuck.

    I am also getting my Beck book back out to read. I did great all week, until last nite. Emotions seem to get me. Hubby tells me that is just an excuse ... and I know he is right. So I really need to get back to remembering all the things to do when emotional eating and stress happens... distractions.... like closet cleaning, etc.

    Hugs all round to those who need them. This is such a tough time of year to stay on track, with weather becoming rubbish and all kinds of temptations like Halloween around. We can do this though - one day at a time.

    I had a very indulgent weekend but am back on the horse today and determined not to be perfect, but to be happy. That means letting go a bit sometimes, but getting back to it soon after as I know I will feel awful after a while. So I’m tired today and have serious sugar cravings but I’m parking my weekend and ignoring them!!

    - Arrange for parents to pick up kids this afternoon βœ…
    - Early to school: stick worksheets, Good as Gold certificate, send email re workshop, reply to J βœ…
