    1. Eat packed lunch ✔
    2. Only 2 pieces of candy ✔
    3. Hospital tour 👎 saved for a time DH can come instead
    4. OB at 7 ✔
    5. Water!!! ✔
    6. Pack lunches for tomorrow ✔
    7. Bed by 9:30 ✔
    8. Reasonable dinner, figure out if going home before OB/hospital or Not? ✔

    OB visit was a little frustrating. Met the practice owner Dr. And must say i really prefer the midwives. Dr. Mostly talked about herself? Which I get, getting to know oen another is nice but it was a bit one sided. She also cautioned me not to gain anymore weight. Which i also get, is their job. It was an evening appointment so my weight looked 10-15lbs higher than my actual usual morning appointment weigh ins I have had there. Noentheless I am heeding her warning and getting back to tracking my calories for the next month to keep the gain to a minimum. Ive gained about 17lbs depending on the day and I'm about 22 weeks. Learning as i go!

    Also frustrated about my boss scheduling me for both christmas eve and new years Eve after it was discussed we would be closed. Granted its only 9am-2pm its not what I was planning. I told her its not what had been discussed, and she agreed that the change in plans was the owners idea so it can possibly be changed if he decides otherwise. I work in Pool retail, so its really not our busy season! Thats a ways off so trying not to let it bother me right now.

    Recap W 10/30
    1) Move hourly / pace during webinar at 11:00 / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 8,169 steps, 250+ 11/14 & 29 floors :smile:
    2) Prelog meals & snacks / net calories zero / 14c water = Did not follow plan & too much snacking involved. Hard for me to do, but logged G/B/U (good/bad/ugly) to keep myself accountable. Net cals -769 >:) , sodium -555, sugar -63 >:) , fiber & protein excellent ~ of course! because I kept eating! At least, 14c water :p
    3) Complete reformatting of workpapers (how do office people not know MS Word features?) :# finally! / review ROP :neutral: in process / print observation & interview checklists :neutral: in process
    4) To-do's: prep small crockpot & sheet pan for R :) / put away clean dishes nope / write thank yous (overdue) & J's bday card nope / bait & set another mouse trap :) actually had mouse in each trap so set 2 traps (both empty R a.m.)
    5) Floss / retainers / bed & tv off as soon as game ends :neutral: late finish & watched some of the celebrations (walk R a.m. if dog ok & weather permits or x-train)

    JFT R 10/31 Happy Halloween
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    2) Meals & snacks prelogged / no evening snacks / net calories zero / 14c water
    3) Review GA-R(ROP) & be ready to observe Fri.
    4) Evening: put squash in oven as soon as get home / trick-or-treaters 4:30 until I leave / choir 6:30 (take funeral luncheon donations) / write thank yous (overdue) & J's bday card / put clean dishes away / review Frontier order wish list / other?
    5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / bed & tv off 10:20 (workout F a.m.)

    Morning started off crazed. I had forgotten to set alarm, and I overslept. I had to rush through getting myself ready, taking care of pets & prepping pork roast in crockpot. Only 1/2 hour late to work, but since we're in our lull period, no big deal.

    Last night I enjoyed a wonderful time being pampered for my birthday month spa package. So relaxed, I almost dozed off at times. Getting in my car after, snowflakes were gently falling, and found out we had a winter weather watch! Too early!!! Once home, Kitty was throwing a fit, so I fed her & she calmed down. Found out later, hubby forgot to feed her before he left & I didn't get home until after spa... no wonder she was cranky!

    Now things are settling down and I will try to stay on track today.

    Happy Halloween! We've got snow falling here in Wisconsin today. The highways were a cluster...accidents everywhere. Got to work late because I had to drive 20 mph instead of 70 mph. My own fault. I should know by now that the first snowfall of the year (that sticks to the ground) always brings out the worst in drivers. I find myself yearning for retirement more and more every week! It's so hard to get my winter coat on and go out into the snow to go to work, while my DH is in his warm pj pants in his recliner, sipping a hot cup of coffee and watching the morning news. I'm so envious!!! I don't like that about myself either, so I'm working on it.

    Today will be a quiet day in the office for me. One of my teammates is working up north today and the other will be working from home this afternoon, so I will have the office to myself. I'll turn on my Himalayan Salt Lamps, start up the essential oil diffuser and turn off the fluorescent lights in the ceiling to create a bit of ambiance! It's actually really quite nice that way!

    @Snowflake1968 your gumball machine costume is so creative! Cute!
    @Bex953172 That can't be MY little Casey crying on the floor...I just KNOW she wouldn't do that! :mrgreen:
    @cschmitz110515 Your spa day sounds lovely! I have been craving one. I plan on buying myself an hour massage at the Day Spa in De Pere when I finally hit the 170's....IF I ever hit the 170's...

    NAME: Joan
    SW :182.6 (starting weight for the 5 pound challenge - round 4)
    5'11"
    GW for this challenge: 177.6 --- This would put me in the "normal" weight range... something I have been trying to do for the past 2 years, but just could never get there!!
    CW: 178.0 (current weight today) -4.6

    My goal are basically the same. I am going to do this until these become habits.. then I will change them. Trying to keep it simple


    My friends were here last weekend, and we were out on a rainy, cold day. So I end up with the worse cold! I've been drinking orange juice, trying to do whatever I can to get over it, and hope hubby does not get it. Next thrusday we leave for Michigan for our sons wedding reception ... so we can't be sick! Plus we are suppose to stay overnite with all the grandkids so they can spend the nite at the hotel.

    I told hubby I just have a bad feeling about the whole trip.. so I need to get this out of my head. I had my hair colored and cut last week... and my hairdresser could not find my card of notes. SO I ended up with a hair color I hate -- its more of a ash color, and a haircut that I just can't do anything with!! Last month she colored it, and It had lavender tones ... I guess I should have gone to someone else, but I've been going to her for almost 4 years. SO bummed about that .. then I get sick! Just not in the mood to drive more north ... and we are getting super cold weather. I am just not ready for winter... I still have garden work to do!!
    Anyhow, my goals today again will be simple. I am going to try and read up on all the posts .. I am so very far behind on here!


    Goals for today
    1. mindful eating
    2. drink 4 glasses of water before I drink a diet pepsi
    3. 8+ water
    4. drink water in the evening ... no snacking, or just ONE planned snack

    I was in such a cranky mood due to asst. manager's snarky comments on my annual eval last August that I wrote out my "retirement countdown" on the back of an envelope that I carry around in my purse LOL. I listed milestones to shoot for, starting with turning 62 (done! eligible for SS benefits, even if low), vesting 100% in 401(k) plan at work (Jan. 2021), etc. Makes it more livable for me, knowing if I HAD to, I could quit tomorrow (or at least soon) with resources available. :D


    @cschmitz110515 Your spa day sounds lovely! I have been craving one. I plan on buying myself an hour massage at the Day Spa in De Pere when I finally hit the 170's....IF I ever hit the 170's...

    I love the Day Spa! That's where I always go nowadays. I like the bday month packages, and I attend their annual Open House (Dec. 2 this year) so I can buy 3 get 4. Of course I always opt for 90-minute massages in my package.

    @cschmitz110515 Good for you! I wish I could at 62! But I need medical coverage. I'm looking at 65 for Medicare. Boo. I'm hoping to go down to 32 hours a week at some point in the next year or two and just kind of start slowing down a bit. I realy think that is a good idea though. I think I will spend some time this weekend coming up with a list of milestones to hit on my way to 2025! Thanks for the insight!

    I am going to have to look into the Day Spa bday month packages. I didn't know anything about those! I also didn't know they had 90 minute massages! (Can you see how seldom i treat myself to a massage?) 90 minutes would be amazzzzzzzzzzing! I'm going to look into it! Dec 2nd is now on my calendar to stop at the Open House! Maybe I can get a deal and reward myself with milestones as I hit them! Thank you for keeping me in-the-know around here... :smiley:

    @snowflake your costume turned out awesome! It's so original.
    @bex any pictures of all 3 witches?
    @cschmitz110515 your pictures are amazing showing those colors changing so fast. I'm going to start thinking about your retirement milestones, that makes sense to me (what's on your list?). We talk about "retirement"/I want to in 4ish years and dh response is completely that "I" need to start downsizing now (as we also talk about moving out of state). But there is no certainty about when, or where or to what, so "downsizing" makes no sense to me now.

    A good day yesterday. Felt a little rubbish in the morning due to over drinking the previous day. But not that bad, probably because I had drunk a lot of water the previous day and had also eaten food with the alcohol. I managed to do my workout at lunch and to actually have a fairly productive day. We went to a really good concert in the evening and had some nice quality time together. So all in all a good day!
