@clicketykeys great job not backing down! Glad everything is ok.
@Snowflake1968 you definitely did the right thing! Those boys are lucky you happened to be there! A few years ago we had a 2 year old girl standing outside our fence, butt naked, looking at our dogs. Luckily we found out she came from the house across the street, but still.... This toddler was crossing the street and her mother didn't even know she was missing!
@HEGoddard0928 I'm sorry you're struggling, big hugs. I hope things will get easier for you soon.1 -
Good morning all! Back to work today, I'm dreading the catching up I'll have to do.. Oh well.
Yesterday was long, it took us forever to find a shop to ultimately have my car towed to. Apparently my husband and I didn't know enough about cars that when we put the wheel adapters on we tightened them way too much, which caused too much stress on my lugs on the wheel hub and one by one they were snapping off, so my whole wheel was just wobbling! We finally found a place that can do it toward the end of the day, so hopefully today we can pick it up. I guess I will have to push my workout until tomorrow because I probably won't have time tonight.
I was doing well with my calories then last night turned into a free for all. Idk if it was the stress or what but I totally lost control and had about 3,300 calories.. The day after I tried so hard and succeeded to be good 😭. Oh well.. Today is a new day..
I hope everyone has a great day!
Yesterday 5/20:
1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
2. Stay within calorie goal😞😞
3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps😞
4. Give Rukia her p.m. pills😞I completely forgot.. Ugh

Well last night sucked. I just spiralled down into a depression. Even cuddling with Matt in the couch didn't make me feel better. Plus I slept like crap last night. Our money issues will be figured out by Friday. We just have to make it until then. I'm back to school today after taking yesterday off. And as much as I love my job I would love to just spend today asleep. But that's the depression talking. I know that everyone says it's not surprising that I'm depressed because of how bad the last 9 months have been for us but I really really hate feeling like this. I spent my teenage years feeling this way. I never wanted to go back to that again. And yet, here I am. Oh well I guess.

depression. And yes it sucks big time. For me, it seems to hit when I really need to be at my best, or have
multiple things going on. Sometimes giving myself a pep talk helps, sometimes diving in to help
someone who needs help, preoccupation and purposefully doing things that make me laugh helps.
Prayer is definitely my strength builder. It not only opens me up to confront my issues, and gives
me an opportunity to cry and release, but a peace and calm comes over me because of my
faith in God's abilities instead of beating myself up.
Hugs my Sister. We're with you. Vent as much as you want, And try not to be down on yourself.
Cut you some slack. You're human.

Well 19 tornadoes touched down yesterday in this area!!!! Crazy but I slept like a baby right through all the storms, Lol!! (I have a local alert alarm on my phone when severe weather warnings are issued. So my phone would have alarmed if needed.)
Today is the last full day for my kids school schedule so I need to get some stuff done today! This should be the last day of cleaning and packing until the actual moving day. I need to stay focused and make time to exercise!!
Have a blessed day!!

I tracked over 3000 steps on my fitbit, took a shower washed my hair and took a little walk at our recreation area.
Almost getting back to a "normal" day. It wore me out in a good way and took a 2 hour nap. Today will be a similar day. I have good energy in the AM so I'll do some chores before PT then rest in the PM.
JFT 5/21/19
Pre-track to 1500 calories
Prepare dinner this morning
PT at 10:00 AM
Board meeting 12-1:30 via conference call
Exercises 2-3X
To the newbies who have mentioned snacking after dinner, that is my downfall too. I am working hard to create a new habit of no snacking or wine after dinner. When I look at my weight gain after retirement it was due to treating everyday like a weekend night and treating myself to an after dinner glass of wine which leads me to a lot of snacking. Take care everyone.1 -

As you once told me, I’m here if you need to talk. I know I can’t fix anything, but sometimes talking about things will reveal a new path you can take. Hugs to you. Message me if you’d like.

Been MIA for a bit. Life got busy and overwhelming and in the midst of that my father passed away. Well he was my step father, but he was the only father I knew. The relationship was complicated, but he was always good to me, he loved my girls and I loved him. Unfortunately, bitterness and hate towards my mother caused him to push many joys from his life including my family. Going to his house (he always came here) was heart wrenching. He led a sad, lonely life all because he couldn’t move beyond his anger. Nothing, no slight, no attack, no hateful words are worth losing joy. You don’t have to keep negative people in your life, but you needn’t let them rule your life. Forgive and move on. It can set you free.
Today had started out bad, but I’m going to try to turn that around going forward.

I drink Yogi Bedtime Tea after dinner to curb my desire for anything else. It satisfies me and makes me sleepy so I'll actually go to bed. IDK if this would work for any of you struggling with after dinner snacks and wine but I thought I'd share with you anyways. 😊

I didn’t do a lot yesterday after helping the little wanderers. Rodg and I went to buy some fertilizer for the lawn and I bought some stain for the bathroom door. If it ever gets nice, I’ll get that door stained so it will be ready to hang.
Today I need to do some more crafting for the bachelorette and I need to design some tags for the wedding.

@HEGoddard0928 - I hope the next tests show something that will get Matt some quick help. It must be a terrible feeling for him. I have dealt with depression seriously 3 times that I remember. One was postpartum, it lasted for a couple or three years before I knew what it was. The second time lasted close to a year before I recognized it, the 3rd time I recognized in 3 months or so, I think that one was the easiest to handle because I recognized it earlier and was able to take some steps to help get me to a better place. I hope that you recognizing it will be helpful in climbing out of it. Hugs to you.
@aubyshortcake - You were very lucky that you didn't have a tire fly off on the highway. Hopefully all is well now.
@nlmackey98 - I'm so sorry for your loss. I so agree with you on the forgive and move on. So many people let their anger swallow them whole.
@AJB1014 - It's all coming together. When is the wedding?
I know there was a lot more I wanted to comment on, but I read through without making notes and I don't want to go through again to refresh my memory. I slept in this morning and feel like I've wasted the day already.

I just did not feel like doing what I needed to today. Went out for the day, missed lunch and had a calorific late afternoon snack instead, did not want dinner so had cheese and biscuits with port. Felt sleepy late afternoon and chose to snooze rather than going for a walk. I should be getting up early tomorrow for a swim and expect that I will struggle. Off to drink some water before bed.1 -

Mon copain est français ! D'abord, c'était seulement pour apprendre la langue et pour parler avec sa famille, notamment sa mère qui me fait peur Mais maintenant je réalise que je voudrais habiter en France pour quelque temps. J'aime beaucoup le pays (en particulier le vin, le fromage et le temps qui est beaucoup meilleur qu'en Angleterre !) et ce serait un aventure !
Et c'est possible que ce sera nécessaire assez bientôt, à cause du Brexit....! (Mon copain travaille pour une entreprise européenne et c'est possible que son travail pourrait se déplacer en France). Donc, je me prépare....
