JFT 6/9 Recap
Ice skating with my son
30 minute run
drink water as needed
lunch & dinner at home
laundry/prep for week
Healthy Choices
Did not stay under calorie goal but had a great day with my son. We went to the gym, went swimming, and then went ice skating together. Had a great day and got lots of calories burned in fun ways. Feeling even a little more myself. Definitely ready to tackle the week (tomorrow) but today is definitely for decompressing and fun.

@aubyshortcake I know, it's so so stressful, even in the best of circumstances. Hugs sweetie. It'll work out in the end! Sorry your parents couldn't help. I'm sure they wanted to!
@Snowflake1968 Sorry your day with hubby started stressful. Marriage can be so tough sometimes. I'm glad you got though a project together though! Hubby and I had a bit of spell this weekend too bc I am not easy to be around when my Dad comes to visit.
Hope you get some time to rest too!
@PackerFanInGB I did decluttering a few months ago-it was awesome! We had an organizer come in and do our kitchen/pantry last year and it really is lifechanging. I was already on my path of weight loss so I don't really connect the two but it has been so relaxing to know where everything is, and it helps me pick up quickly and keep things in order. We did the rest of our house on our own but still have more to do (the garage and attic).3 -

@korina75 That would be fantastic to have someone come in and do the kitchen! I think this is going to be a never-ending project for me! My husband is not on the same page so undoes everything I do. Ugh. But it sure feels good while it’s organized! 😊1 -

Log Accurately
60 minute intentional walking
Grocery store
Meal Prep
Pick things up around house
Stretches/weights
Got a bit distracted today cleaning out clothes. Tried on a bunch of stuff. What didn't fit (with too big or just doesn't work for me. I have way more clothes than any one person needs. Part of it is I have a work wardrobe and a non-work one. Also, have a tendency to do retail therapy since my husband died.
I have been working on decluttering--it does help psychologically to get rid of the stuff. I will admit, it is a bit easier to do when it is just you (my husband was a packrat with everything!)

@ZizzyBumble @Snowflake1968 My daughter had a girl. Both doing well. They are a two hour flight away and I am going back for a few days on Thursday. It is my first "birth" grandchild having 3 grandkids from my step kids. I never call them my step kids as I have been Mum for 35 years.
I went for a two hour bike ride. What fun! I try to go every week but life has gotten in the way at times. I have tried successfully to stay in the green, even after such a ride, but today I could eat a horse and chase the rider. It will be a challenge to stay in the green today.
Commitments for Monday
1. Log everything
2. Go to gym and do the 30 min HIIT cycle class
3. Stay for the first yoga session in decades
4. Eat more vegetables
5. Never give up

@mytime6630 - I used to but the 100 calorie bags of Doritos, it didn’t take me long to realize that the bags sizes were unsatisfying and I would end up eating more calories than if I had just eaten the regular size bag.
The element went in our oven today, this sucks since I was planning on a frozen lasagna for supper Tuesday night and I won’t have money until next week to fix it. However, it is keeping me from making one of my favourite night time snacks tonight that I really don’t have calories for anyway.

I have two essays, two presentations, a quiz, and four discussions to do this week. On top of two summer jobs. UGH. So, yeah, weight is going to go up, because when am I going to exercise? HA HA HA. And of course as I'm pacing around trying to figure out wording I'm ticked off and what makes me feel better? CHOCOLATE.
Fortunately I just have to survive the next two weeks.6 -

I'm taking my parents shopping and we will be out a lunchtime and I will need to be careful what I choose! I am not sure what the options will be as I don't normally eat in the shopping centre but it's already 11:00. Parents are not ready to leave yet and may want coffee first. We then have half an hour travel and mum has to have half an hour registration/tuition on the mobility scooter I've arranged for her.4 -

I bet your husband would be on board if you paid an organizer a few thousand dollars! She also did our basement and then gave us a list of how to do the rest of the house but yea. She was not cheap so therefore everyone has abided by her very expensive rules....

Drink water
30 minutes yoga/strength
Catch up on to do list
5 minute meditation
Glad to be back to normal today. Last week of school for the kids, husband and I made up (we were tense after my Dad's visit), and though I have some not fun work stuff to handle it'll get done and things should slow down a little.
I have painters coming the first week of July so my next big home project will be to get the kids rooms de cluttered and cleaned out so we can move the furniture for painting. New furniture for my daughter, my Son doesn't want his room painted. We'll work on that this long weekend (letting the kids skip the last two days bc it's really useless). Maybe even go buy her new furniture this weekend! Very fun stuff to look forward to.
My goal for today-
1 -
Oops! MY goal for today is to smile, breathe, and be thankful.2

Good morning! Yet again the Queen of Punctuality (haha not) is running late so I'll be quick!
@Snowflake1968 @korina75 thank you again for the support! I feel bad, I think my mom feels guilty that they're not able to help and I do NOT want her to feel that way. The fact that they even offered was beyond generous and I hope she isn't worrying about it.
This week I WILL CRUSH these goals. NO MORE of this drowning my stress in food!
Yesterday 6/9:
1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
2. Stay within calorie goal😞
3. Look into traffic course for my ticket, deadline is approaching!😞
4. Get a minimum of 6,000 steps😑 almost

6. Do workout😁
