Well i think ive logged everything.
Dinner was a lot of guess work so might be over in cals for the day but after calculating what i thought im left with 26 cals.
I dunno, feeling a bit meh today.
The good thing is ive logged!
Ash has just bought a pizza, crisps and chocolate.
All of which he normally shares.
Great prsctice for saying NO.
But i do really want them.
Going to fill up on water i think.
This week feels like its going on foreveŕrrrrrrrr
Hi Bex, NO is a great word, you can resist the temptation. Sorry Ash has put it in front of you though - I find it's so much easier when food and drink are less visible.0 -

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. You know how I get. I sometimes take looong breaks from social media. Lol. Recently was one of those times. I wasn't on Facebook or Twitter either. Sometimes I tend to drop off the planet other than texts. But anyway! Lol
So we may have the culprit of Matt's stomach issues. He had an endoscopy yesterday and the doctor found two bad and large ulcers. One was an inch in diameter and the other was half an inch. His body is so weird that he didn't have any pain from them. I think that people are starting to finally believe me when I tell them just how *kitten* backward his body is. So the doc had him do MORE bloodwork and then sent over scripts for a Zertek like med and something to coat his stomach that he takes 4 times a day. Lol. We're hoping that that helps him out. I NEED him to go back to work.
There's is a new Pokemon Go-like game out but it's a Harry Potter based game. So Matt and I have been spending a decent amount of time walking around outdoors the last 3 days. It's been really nice. So Matt completely detoxed from caffeine this past week. He seems to be doing better now that the headaches have gotten manageable for him. When we saw the doc on Thursday he said no more caffeine or chocolate. He's had a bit more energy and oomph to get up and do stuff. So I think that that might be the cause.
There is so much going on on the board the last few days. And not very much good. I am praying for all of you. I hope that you guys can all pull everything together and make it through these storms. But also remember to dance in the storm. Lol
Okay, so let me just put some goals up for the rest of the day.
1. Log all my food(yes, even the ice cream)
2. Go to the greenhouse at least once
3. DO THE FRICKEN DISHES!
4. Put the clothes away/remake the bed
5. Make the dinner that Matt suggested
6. Bed by 11:00
Omg ive seen this HP app too! Just waiting until i get a smart phone again before i get the app!
SOOOOO glad you finally have an answer! That must be a relief!1 -

Had a pretty good afternoon/evening after I posted that. Matt and I took a 3-hour nap late this afternoon. I guess we really needed the sleep. Lol. I kinda feel like I'm about to fall asleep on the couch.
I got a text from D asking if we were still on for tomorrow morning. Thank God she reminded me because I would have totally forgotten. Lol. I wanted to do a serious deep clean of the whole house tomorrow morning so I'll have to postpone it until the afternoon or maybe Friday. I have a couple of other things I want to do as well. Like update/polish my resume and create a cover letter.

Hi Everyone
Thank you for your comments about my friend. He has been transferred into the Coronary Care Unit. We visited him and his memory is all over the place. He knew us but was very confused and really couldn't remember anything. I'm sure that will improve in the coming weeks.
I'm in Australia and it's winter here. Cold and wet. Our cold is like your Florida winters, so one has to put it into perspective. But, you know what it's like in winter, warm stodgy comfort food. I think if I don't put weight on, it will be a good thing, and I'm not.
This is the first time I have used the laptop to log in. I usually use my app on the phone. It is so much easier to see and read others posts this way.
So JFT
1. Log everything - the good, the bad and the ugly
2. Get some exercise in - the gym is warm and inviting. Go there!
3. Avoid eating when not hungry.
4. Avoid sugary snacks. Be honest - they don't even taste nice. It's a drug addiction.
5. Be kind to yourself. this is the only life you have.
6. Enjoy the interaction with others (JFT) who are on the journey with you.
7. Smell the coffee and the roses.
8. Have a great day. Life is for the living.

@jacqui2494 oh my goodness..I am so sorry about your friend. Big hugs.0 -
Good morning! This week has been a bit bleh. On Tuesday my parents left for the airport to go to Calgary to visit my sister and her kids and husband for 2 weeks. Last week my mom had taken their dog to the vet because she was panting excessively and just acting a little odd. When they got to their changeover flight in Atlanta they got a call from the vet that the dog has lymphoma and likely less than a month to live.
She is only 3 years old and the first year of her life before my parents adopted her was really rough, so I think my mom in particular is taking it pretty hard. They only had 30 minutes to decide what to do before their next flight so they decided to come home. My mom seems fine when I talk to her but I know her heart is breaking and I feel so helpless.
For right now their dog seems mostly normal and like she is still enjoying herself so I know now my mom is regretting not going to Canada but I tried to tell her she did what she thought was right in the moment and I'm sure their dog is really happy to see them because she's not used to being away from them.
Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest, I hope everyone has a great day!

1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁

@aubyshortcake That's so sad your your parents dog. Losing a pet is so hard especially when they are so young.
@tristramtrent I've heard a lot of people say that weight loss is 90% the food we eat and 10% exercise. Good job sticking to healthy eating!!
@littleblackskirt Awesome job ignoring the snacks in town! Those can be so so so tempting.
@Faebert I hope your okay from the fall! That must have been really scary! How far from home were you?
@bookmeister86 Awesome job eating in moderation yesterday! Eating out can be really hard, as you know! Very good!
@jacqui2494 I'm so sorry about your friend! I'm hoping for a speedy recovery for him. I'm all about the warm fattening food in winter. Lol. Good job not gaining anything so far! Keep up the stupendous work!3 -
Well, I'm struggling with motivation. 🙄 I just can't seem to get myself to exercise. I plan on it in the morning then when the time comes, I allow myself to feel tired and unmotivated. I've gotta get myself pulled together somehow.

Today is only a half day work wise, I am then keeping Michaela and going to my cousin's to borrow a bed for the duration of the wedding. I'm very tired and my legs are hurting so I'm actually cabbing to work today instead of walking. The walking is nice, but I end up sweaty for starting my day. neutral:
I will try to get caught up on posts soon, I am having a hard time finding time.4 -
JFT--Completed the list yesterday
JFT--6/27
Drink 8 cups of water---done!
Pre-log meals---done!
Exercise
Breakthrough
For the past 7 months I have maintained my weight. If I found myself increasing I would immediately take action. This is the first time I've ever done this and I'm feeling pretty victorious over it! This morning I sat down with myself and had an interesting exchange. I realized if I lose 10-12 lbs I will be satisfied. Any more and it will be like the icing on the cake. I then thought about how relatively quickly 10lbs came off last year. During this time I have watched what I eat, exercised, and drunk water off and on. I still have to do all those things even when I'm not in weight loss mode. But in order for me to start losing weight, I have to decrease calories, meaning less food, and make sure I quit eating by 8 and not start back up until after 8am.
I so much have enjoyed the increased food amount, lol! And I thought, "Well if you'll get it in high gear and get these last few pounds off you will be able to stay in the maintenance mode forever! Just keep that little word on the end of your tongue...NO!"
I'm soooo close! I am digging in and charging for the finish line...and then...
(in moderation, of course!!!)
Peace and joy!4 -

Yesterday was good but busy. Today looks much the same. I'm enjoying this new sense of calm I have. It's like I'm rediscovering joy. For so long I have been just existing and fretting and trying to be who I thought everyone wanted me to be. I hated everything about myself. Now for some unknown but beautiful reason I see myself and my life differently. I really don't care why or how, I just hope it is my new normal.

@HEGoddard0928 I've missed seeing you around. If I could I'd give you a big ole hug.
@daneejela I'm sure your parents understand. We are never going to be perfect we can only try to be our best. Our best still does things they regret, and its ok.
@aubyshortcake My dogs a huge part of my family. We care for them and grieve for them. Just give you mom a hug.
@Faebert I hope your fall wasn't too bad. Take care. I used to fall when I ran. Well really only twice, but my friends made it sound much worst and much funnier.
@MLHC1 You will get things sorted out, and your exercise habits will be reestablished. For now it's okay to focus on other needs. Much love and many prayers.
@Snowflake1968 Hun, things will line out after the wedding, you just have a little longer to go. As for showing to work looking a mess, what worked for me was building 5-10 minutes where I could just sit before going in. It takes the flush out of your face, get the sweat glands to settle and your damp hair a chance to un-stick itself from your face. Is there a coffee shop or even a bench close to work where you could read a book or journal for a few?5 -
Time to get back to reality!
1. Drink water!!!
2. Eat packed lunch
3. Cook dinner at home
4. Atleast one load of laundry
5. Stop at Wal-Mart; window insulation and pasta
6. Be kind
7. Clean up kitchen1 -
@nlmackey98 Thank you love! I'm glad that you have a new peace. Cling to that with everything you have! Also, read some of the New Testament too. And I'm glad that you are comfortable with your new therapist. That is incredibly important.
@toaljasa Awesome job staying in maintenance for so long! You can get those last 10lbs off no problem! I know it! Lol.
@MLHC1 I totally understand the lack of motivation to exercise. I deal with it all the time! It's been so hot and humid here recently so I can't do anything outside! But I am counting any kind of extra movement as exercise to keep my motivation up.
@snowflake1968 I'm so glad that you got the job and that you are enjoying it! That is so important. I hope that you continue to excel and enjoy it even more. I bet you will be so happy when the wedding is finally over. There is so much work going into it. I bet that your daughter appreciates all the work that you are putting into it. I can't wait to see pictures!1 -

Already worked out and have done well so far with healthy choices. I have gotten back on track mostly (though I did overindulge a little at book club last night). Today started busy but has wound down a bit so going to catch up on some housework and laundry, maybe even make some zucchini bread as my Mom was nice enough to give me tons of zucchini from her garden. Going to hardboil some eggs to have on hand for snacks as well. I need to have some good protein filled snacks to have on hand. I do love summer eating! I have watermelon, berries, corn, zucchini and all sorts of good stuff.
Off to finish up work... Have a great rest of your day!2 -
Well, I'm struggling with motivation. 🙄 I just can't seem to get myself to exercise. I plan on it in the morning then when the time comes, I allow myself to feel tired and unmotivated. I've gotta get myself pulled together somehow.
Thursday JFT:

Reporting back tonight as I won't have time in the morning
JFT Thursday 27th June
Log everything failed, didn't do it immediately then couldn't remember
Stay in the green probably over, but below maintenance
Back exercises what is wrong with me?! why don't I do them!
Laundry and ironing yes
Research new painkiller again, no
Food shop yes
Post birthday cards yes
Bank appointment for mother yes. They had forgotten I was coming, had to wait. Then their electricity was cut off!

Say No to myself looked at half price chocolate bars in the shop, and said No. I know, I shouldn't have been looking!
Lift the big bag yes
Spent a while on the phone to the bank today trying to correct THEIR mistakes. Was so frustrated with them. I think there's some progress now though, as long as they do what they promised. You'd think I was the first customer they'd ever seen who needed to help their parents!
Been a lovely sunny day, enjoying the warmth.
My goals for the weekend are to be sensible with eating, no takeaways. I have planned ahead and am taking a microwave ready meal with me tomorrow so I won't be tempted to go for takeaway food.

I failed on the morning swim and it was downhill from there onwards Tomorrow will be be better!
I have not posted goals for today, mostly I would fail to meet my usual goals but I'm happy
The light tonight is very special, sorry I can't describe it, lots of fast moving sea fog and I'm hoping for a stunning sunset.3 -

The New Testament is easier to read and I've read most of it over the years. This time I've decided to read the whole Bible chronologically. Job is one of my least favorite books and chronologically in fall in the middle of Genesis. It came early into this journey, but I finished it. Now I can move on. If I make it through Numbers and Leviticus then I'll know I can do this. Those have been stumbling block in my past attempts to read the Bible.2 -

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Align assessments with OW units. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri.
