I had a good day yesterday. I decorated a cup for Lauryn and the Grands painted. It was nice to have Jonah do something besides play on the iPad. He painted a “misty, creepy mountain with his stuffed monkey in front of the mountain and a Zombie. I let him use a 16x20 canvas. He asked Siri to show him images of his inspiration for the mountains and he used a ruler to decide his size of his monkey.
Michaela painted a canvas using pink, purple, silver and gold. There is a project I am going to try to do using her canvas, it’s called hot mess. We’ll see how it goes.
Last night I forced myself to do some walking, I ended up watching The Masked Singer and ended up dancing more than walking for 40 minutes. It’s a weird show though.... I’m not much into the masks. Lol

Today, I will reflect on the past week and jot it down in my journal. Do I need to make adjustments in my food calories, etc? Where do I need to improve? Water intake? Exercise? Thinking more positive thoughts? How have I put my word for the year, discipline, into play throughout the week? Where do I need to exercise it more? And then I will write down what I am grateful and thankful for!
Peace and joy!4 -
Ok so my commitment for tonight and this week is, to start reading a book and stop doing mobile /laptop bedtime, include some weight training and try to be above 5000 steps every day.
That is on top of my program.4 -

This is awesome. Made me smile and made me want to sort out my life. Well done I love this list❤️1 -
Oh goodness. Yesterday was an epic not so good day for my goals. But today is a new day and I've remained in the green as of right now so it's definitely been a better day. Working on my water now while watching the Great British Baking Show (I am addicted to it!) and resting my back. Tomorrow *will* be a gym day, my first in awhile.3

@maryrobinson40 - sounds like you had a good day and smart goals for the week.
@toaljasa - I really like that idea to reflect on your week and set out new goals for the week ahead based on your word of the year and your reflection. I keep a Gratitude Journal I think I may add a daily journal of my life to it too. Thank you for the inspiration.
Today I completed a project I started on Friday. It is a birthday present for Michaela. Her party is Saturday. The other portion of her present is the decorations that I am making. This is 9X9 inches there are 36 of the little paper rises I made. They were fun to do and I may try this again soon.
I’ll post the pic below, it won’t let me in here as my post is too long.4 -

I just want to say that each and every one of you are doing so well!
I must admit I feel like I'm dragging behind you all but im hoping to get back on track this week!
Theres been a few things that have really affected my progress recently, I think the whole drama over New Year has really threw me, I dont feel like I got that fresh start! even though it's all sorted now. well mostly, the idea of moving house is making me anxious, I'm pretty sure any house moved would be nerve racking, I'm just concerned about timing it right so we get a house within our months notice or worse being offered a house before we've paid up this one!
Also, Casey. Little cute Casey. I do love her, and love how she's so attached to me when the other two have been traitors and been Daddy girls! but the little thing cries when she so much as sees her bed, so I have to get her to sleep before I take her up, but she doesn't want to sleep she wants to PLAY! and it can take up til 10pm fir her to finally drift off!
So this week I need to get a good night's sleep, take my meds BEFORE the school run and really FOCUS.
I'll post my daily goals tomorrow.
but my goals for the upcoming week are:
Mon-Sun
- Log everything everyday
- Follow my cleaning schedule
- Drink 8+ cups per day
- Stop with the junk food, learn to say NO
- Watch motivational videos
- Sit less!

We are all hanging on to each other's coattails as we move forward. And someone is hanging on to yours through your honest barebone real-life assessments, determination to not give up, your ability to laugh at yourself, your encouraging words and kick in the tush moments of reality that is sometimes needed.
"progress, not perfection"

Bex you are a strong, strong woman. I don’t know how you aren’t curled up in a corner sobbing some days but yet here you are supporting all of us, giving us encouragement, kudos, sympathy or joy. You make me laugh, you make me think, you teach me and you make me remember.
You make me remember being a young Mom and feeling taken advantage of, having the never ending laundry and meals and dishes. Then throw in the dreaded bedtime routine and you just want to scream. I hated bedtime, still do when I keep the Grands. I’m not going to tell you you’ll miss this someday, I’ll tell you you’ll get through it and before you know it, you’ll be the 50 year old truly enjoying a young Mom in your social group.
Thanks for always taking the time to come and say hi and tell us how your day is going, I always look for your posts and say a little prayer your day is going well when I don’t see you.

Morning all. Didn’t get on to post yesterday and I’ll cut a long story short by just saying I did not do well. Need to refocus on my 2019 goals and my word of balance. I’m still letting myself fall into the all or nothing mindset and tend to let one bad decison spiral into another. Saturday was ok but yesterday I took a rest day then just felt frustrated and emotional eating took over.

- Stay mindful - read goals ❎
- Water ❎
- Do name labels on new uniform ❎
- Put away all laundry ✅

Anyway, what’s done is done and I know I now have the ability to move straight on and get back on it so I need to just take whatever lessons I can from yesterday and refocus.

No idea how many calories but tried to log anyway based on what I had and what was in the database. No supper as I was way over calories. Tomorrow is another day.
