Be in the green

Attend to Happy scale trend- be below maintenance

@Faebert , send you lots of hugs from Scotland, hope you have a speedy recovery and the pain soon eases. You are a very brave lady.

I've not been posting for ages, doubt I'll catch up with all the posts. Hope everyone is doing well.

I've just been busy with family, both parents are now home which is great not having to do hospital visits, but still time consuming. My sleep is getting even worse and I'm exhausted a lot of the time. I haven't put any weight on, but I feel really podgy! So I'm mostly eating well, not snacking or overeating.
And just to add to the stress, I'm now hoping to move house. That was a huge decision to make on my own, and I expect it will be an ongoing saga for a few months.

So JFT Saturday,

no snacking
visit Santa

Hi lovely ladies. Writing this from my hospital bed as I went ahead and had my mastectomies with reconstruction yesterday. The pain is pretty bad but apparently the surgery went well and hopefully from now on I can focus on my recovery.

It’s been a crazy few weeks at work getting everything done and handed over. I’ve been on here but not as active posting as I’d like so I hope to jump back in now I’ll have lots of time at home.

Lots of love to you all. X

Big hugs!!! So glad to hear all went well! Wishing you a healing journey.

Good afternoon Ladies!

These last two weeks have been a bit of a nightmare to be honest. Before Thanksgiving, I got a call from my supervisor at the school that I was being taken off my permanent subbing case because a district employee was being assigned there. They offered me a job as a teacher's aide for an elementary school case but that school wouldn't get out until 3 which at the time I couldn't do. Then the Wednesday before last I lost my voice and came down with a cold. I still haven't fully recovered. My voice is still scratchy. Then on Thursday I got an email from Hybridge(where I work with the little kids) that I was put on probation due to inadequate job performance. So after talking to a few people but mainly Matt. I decided to resign. So I sent the office manager a return email explaining that I didn't feel like I was able to do the job effectively. Plus there was no point in my staying if I wasn't doing any good to the learners.

Now the main problem is that at the school I'm not guaranteed work every day. I thought that it was going to be okay to step down to being a daily sub but I didn't realize that they got rid of the floating aide position so now I can only work when an aide takes the day off. And I also no longer have the after school income either. So I'm looking to pick up a couple of side gigs to be able to help supplement our income. I've been researching a couple of them.

Right now I have signed up to be a grocery shopper for Instacart. Basically I get paid to do other people's grocery shopping and deliver it to their houses. There's also a huge boom in online English tutoring for nonnative speakers going on so I'm contemplating doing that too. So we'll see. There are definitely ways to make money nowadays. It's just actually putting the effort forth to make it happen.

Also! Lol

I have given myself a goal of losing 30lbs by July 1st. And I'm not going to wait until January 1st to start. I'm going to start today. The good thing about potentially having extra time in my day is that I will be able to go to the gym and be more active on this board instead of coming and going every few weeks. So we'll see how this all works out. But as for today, I am going to post my goals even though it's already 2 pm. Lol

1. Log all my food
2. Actually make dinner(don't just heat up chicken nuggets) Got a salad from Wawa
3. Do laundry Forgot about the sweatshirt that Matt asked me to wash. There was no point in going back to the laundromat for a single sweatshirt so it will be included in next week's wash.
4. Drop off rent money Got some bad news too. A friend from church passed away on Friday.
5. Drink 64 more oz of water
6. Vacuum
7. Clean bathroom

I didn't do much yesterday after I got home from the laundromat. I did some more research on some side jobs I could possibly try. I'm hoping to be able to start delivering for Instacart next week. I'm just waiting for my payment card to come in the mail. That's how I'll pay for the groceries that people order. Once that comes in then I can start actually doing shopping and deliveries.

As I said above a member of our church died on Friday. He was a really great guy. He was 88 but I have no idea. I thought he was maybe in his early 70's. He looked that young. He had a stroke a while back so I think a lot of people were just waiting for him to pass on. He had a heart attack while he was home alone. His wife was out to dinner with a friend of hers. It's good and it's sad at the same time. He lived a good long life full of love, friendship, and a whole lot of fun. But he's home now. To my praying friends, please keep his wife Judy and their children and grandchildren in your prayers tonight.

It's already 4:22 so I'm not going to post any goals for today but I will recap the small number of things I did today.

JFT, 12/8/19

1. Had a nice conversation with my mom
2. Picked up a few things at the dollar store
3. Posted on JFT

That is literally all I did. Lol. It doesnt help that I didnt get out of bed until 11:30. Lol

Okay. Have a great night everyone. It's pretty quiet on here today. I'll "see" everyone tomorrow!

Morning all, been missing in action for a little while as I had a job interview on Friday that I was focusing on preparing for. I was reading posts, just not doing any myself!

Now that is over, I'm going to focus on having a happy, restful and healthy December. I've been eating quite a lot due to stress and have put a couple of pounds on - I want to lose those before Christmas comes. I also need to catch up on sleep and rest as working for the interview exhausted me a little bit!

Unfortunately, I have lots of Christmas socialising across the next two weeks which may hinder both of those things.... Though, only if I let it!


Today's commitments:

- Log everything I eat
- Be in the green
- 3+ bottles water

- No eating whilst standing

Log accurately
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg

I need to remember my word for the year is methodical and improve on menu planning, shopping and pre-logging as I’ve been slipping and not always making good choices. I’ve also been tempted to a few extra glasses of wine!
