@AJB1014 I had a soup in Amsterdam and it was AMAZING. Yet so simple. I'm pretty sure it was just spinach and potato. But put a little bit of crumbled feta on! I'll see if I can find a recipe close to what it looked like!
Also, you just reminded me I need to renew my driving licence I think it runs out this month, yikes.
If you change address you get a free one, but because I'm close to renew they won't do it, they just tell me to renew because o need to anyway, which I think is like £20. But it's £20 I don't have lol!
We get quite a lot of money week after next (around 700quid) which is our xmas shopping money but I doubt we will spend that much on everyone's presents. So maybe I could ask Ash to save some for my licence!
In fact someone on here remind me a week on Monday LOL!3 -

JFT Friday
- Work early
- Fun With Science show at Worthington Elementary
- Moderate lunch out with the gang
- Log all food
- Stay in the green
- no alcohol
- one treat in the evening
- Bible, gratitude journal
- laundry
- Maybe date night since the girls will be at the football game
Ended up with date night instead of laundry night. It shows a lot of, but it was not a bad day, just not what I’d planned. We went bowling so I got a little activity and ended my day less than 50 cal over. I’m calling it a win!
Today is starting out as a lazy, lazy day. I was asleep by 11:30pm last night and didn’t get up until 12:30pm today. I guess I needed some rest. Now I’m chilling watching WVU get their bums kicked by Texas Tech. I plan to do some laundry and maybe clean the floors upstairs. I might even go for a walk today. It’s a crisp sunny fall day with beautifully fall foliage covering the mountains.
I haven’t even been logging onto MFP on the weekends, let alone setting goals, so I think this is a positive step..
JFT Saturday
- watch football
- Do laundry
- Clean floors
- Log all food
- At least 32oz of water
- Go for a walk, hilly
- Date with Deuteronomy
Wish me luck.

Sorry I've been absent. When I went to the gym on Tuesday I screwed up something in my stomach. I did a hard ab workout and now since then, I've had this terrible gas pain ...!
If it continues for more than a few days and the OTC meds aren’t helping I’d get it checked out.
Take care of you for us.

5LBS CHALLENGE WINNER BOARD
Round 1: TerriRichardson!
Round 2: TerriRichardson!!
Round 3: Bookmeister!
Round 4: PackerFanInGB!
FINALLY!!!
@PackerFanInGB wins the 5lb discard challenge!!! Well done! Doesn't matter if it's water weight! Well done!
Does everyone want to continue?
If so, shall we start on Monday? To give chance for everyone to weigh?
Cool! It's about time I lost a few pounds. Tired of watching that number go up! I also would like to start new again on Monday!
@bookmeister86 Thanks! Also, thanks for sharing the butternut squash soup recipe! That looks delicious! I love butternut squash soup but have no idea how to make it. The only soup I know how to make is chicken vegetable or chicken noodle. 2 -
I’m almost at my maintenance weight, but planning to slowly reduce a few more lbs, so will continue with the challenge. Monday seems like a good idea.

I am so late posting today and there is no good reason for it. I was up before 7 this morning, I thought I heard a mouse. We had pest control out on Tuesday and I they set 11 traps. 6 under the house and 5 in. They will be back next week to check. It was $300 but worth it if they get rid of them.
I got up and read posts and checked facebook. I then decided to go buy a heater for our shed to see if I could handle it working out there to sand some wood. I did for a couple hours but then my hand slipped and I sanded my fingernail off down to the skin. This is going to be a painful healing process.
Tomorrow we are going to go to my cousins shop to see if we can use their industrial sander to do a lot at once. I hope it works.

this @snowflake1968! So so true..
Hi all - hectic end to the week. Got in a great workout at warrior yesterday. Really pleased as I felt so sore after Wednesday’s run I needed two days off! Resting today but feel ok. Eating has not been great the last couple of days though. I’m really struggling with the cold, dark, wet weather - just feel so unmotivated! Time to keep it simple I think for today:
Sunday goals:
- finish housework and laundry
- string mirror and rehang
- Organise and clean fridge
- Sweep steps/ clear leaves
- Sort car insurance
- Tanning
- Wash girls’ hair
- bed by 9:303 -

1. Log all foodI didn't think I would stay under but my dinner was fewer calories than I was figuring in my head. I didn't even need any exercise to keep under. That makes me seriously happy because it's been so long since I've been able to do that.
2. Drink 96oz of waterAt least that amount. Probably more. Not sure the exact amount though. I tend to stop keeping track after I've hit my goal.
3. Unload/load/run the dishwasherI can't begin to tell you guys just how much I am in love with my dishwasher! Lol. It didn't even come with the house originally. My former boss gave it to me after she redid her kitchen and Dad installed it for us before we moved in.
Last night was quiet at home. I took a nap in the afternoon. My brother texted me while I was sleeping. So I answered him back and we texted for about 2 hours. We don't have much of a relationship, let alone a friendship but it was nice to talk to him. We are so different in so many ways that it can just be hard to have a decent conversation with him. But yesterday was subdued and we talked about all sorts of different topics and I was able to put my foot down when he wanted to bring up topics that I didn't want to discuss. So I guess I'm finally growing up. Lol.
Matt came home late from work but that's okay. He was helping a new hire who has a disability clean up and things. I don't mind that at all. Lol. I didn't start dinner until after he told me he was leaving so it was perfectly timed. Lol. I'm still not feeling great, definitely better than a few days ago, but still not all the way better. Honestly, we don't have the money for me to go to the doctor right now or the time. If I really don't feel better then I might go on Thursday when I don't have a client in the afternoon. I know that that is a long way away though. But such is life when you're poor and work 2 jobs. Lol. We'll see.
Today is going to be a nice, quiet day. I don't have anything to do except maybe some laundry which I'm going to do at my parent's house. I'm probably going to read and hopefully do some writing today. Matt has a ten-hour work shift today so he won't be home until after 9 pm.
I'm going to keep my goals super simple again today.
JFT, 11/10/19

Good morning! Yesterday was granddaughter, H's, birthday party at noon and then Tim and I went bumming at some thrift shops. I found a nice room divider (3 panel) to use in the basement to block off my sewing room from the rest of the basement. Was pretty happy about that! My goal for the winter is to remodel the basement into a more welcoming living space. Right now it is finished with a ceiling, paneling and linoleum flooring from the 1960's, but it's dark and not real welcoming. I want to brighten it up this winter and remodel/redecorate.
I feel like yesterday was wasted because I didn't get anything done around here, but at the same time it was a nice time spent with my husband bumming so how can that be a wasted day, right? Today I plan to lay out my quilt blocks and finalize how I want to sew them together and then begin sewing them together. I also hope to work on bills, prep veggies for the week so I can grab and go, and if time before the Packer game I want to run to Burlington to see if I can find a few new pairs of work slacks. If I don't get my *kitten* off the couch soon, I likely won't make it! LOL!
@HEGoddard0928 I'm almost as excited as you are that you have a dishwasher!!! Except I miss you scolding yourself for not doing the dishes! That used to give me a giggle! I seem to remember you saying you pubished a book on Amazon a few years back, didn't you? What was the name of that one? Did it do well for you? I always wanted to be an author so it intrigues me that you write!
J4T / Sunday- Journal every bite - good, bad & ugly
- Drink 80+ oz of water
- 15 minutes of cardio
- 15 minutes of strength training
- Prep for tomorrow: clothing / lunchbag packed / Binder updated for new provider tomorrow
- UNPLUGGED SUNDAY except MFP
- Bed early with evening routine: Skin care / Gratitude journal / DO reading / JM podcast / SA daily reading / pick a book to read (still haven't found a new book to read yet...).
Word of 2019: TENACITY I will NOT give up!

@PackerFanInGB I did publish a book! It's a collection of poetry about my struggles with mental health issues and my journey back to stability through faith. What I'm writing now is so unlike that it's crazy. It's a urban paranormal romance. Lol. Basically it's a romantic fantasy set in modern day. I'm so in love with it. The problem is I'm at a really tough scene to write. It's a murder scene. But I think I'm going to try and push through it today since I have so much time.4

You can do sweet potato instead of butternut squash as well, I tend to do that as I find sweet potatoes much less faffy to prepare.....
Thank you! I did a version of this. Just what i was looking for, hearty and filling and some thing totallt differnt than anything ive ever done! I did leeks, shallots, Tyme, ginger and nutmeg! Yum.4
