I feel I did great this week! I had a new high step count and I stayed on track despite craving a lot of junk this week. I managed not to use my couple of minor injuries this week as excuses to eat or laze about. I did allow myself a full day off from activity when sick, but I didn't beat myself up over an inactive day.

As for tools, I think I have all of them that I need, I just need to not only use them, but use them properly. I've noticed that some days I will still struggle to drink enough, but I won't notice until too late. I have tools to keep track, several of them actually, but if I don't use them they aren't any help.

well let's see here....
I'd give my week a solid 4.5... tons of room for improvement on the goals ....
On Friday i saw my PTSD counselor and we decided that Greg need an accountability partner...someone who can stand up to me ... a person who is tactful enough yet strong enough to hold my feet to the fire....I am working on this as we speak and I will let you know if my choice comes to bear.

I hope your choice in accountability partners works out for you😊 I’m not to great at policing myself at times😊

Gotta share something with my friends. Had an incident happen to me last night that is kinda bothering me.

Wife cooks a big dinner on Sundays and my boys and their families come over to eat with us. Which is pretty nice because they all work hard during the week, this is the only day we all get together. Anyways, the wife forgot a couple things and asked me to run to the grocery store. I knew Publix would be busy but I figured I could run in quickly and get out. They were busy, I grabbed a cart and got the needed items as well as a couple things I needed. Checkout lines were long, even the express line with 10 or fewer items. So I was in line behind a teenage girl that didn't have anything. I figured she was getting a candy bar or gum as we got closer to the cashier. Line was moving, she was next to check out when I heard a commotion behind me. Thee were at least 4 customer behind me when I looked back, and a man and his wife was asking everyone to move so they can get to their daughter who happened to be in front of me. Then I figured it out. The daughter was standing in line to reserve a place in line for her parents while they shopped. This did not sit well with me, so I expressed in an even tone that was not cool. We would all have to back out our carts because it's too narrow with the candy and magazine shelves for them to get by. So the guy took an attitude with me, and since I don't have a filter sometimes, I fired back harshly. This went on for a couple mins, I told him I've been coming to this same Publix for over 25 years and I have never heard of reserving a spot in a line while someone shops. He said it was common where he came from, blah blah blah.

Long story short, I didn't let him get in front of me and neither did the guy behind me who said nothing. The guy was yapping the whole time to his wife while he was behind us.

So, my question. Is this normal policy in some parts of our country to reserve a spot in line while you shop? It's really bugging me.

My 3 year old grandson informed me that Santa won't come to my house if I don't put up outside Christmas lights. I told him that will be okay. This didn't sit well with him. "Well, Nana said Santa will be bringing some of my presents to Nana's house, so you better put up outside lights!" I haven't put up outside lights in over 15 years. But, I wouldn't want to upset Santa or my grandson.
