@PackerFanInGB - I like your goals for learning new things. I am going to try to write this year too. I need to get at it. I want to write a memoir for my daughters for Christmas but use my Mom's and Grandmother's diaries to jog my memory of a particular day. I will put their diary entries in the book as well. I have a lot of pictures I can add to it as well. I need to get at it, as it's almost July! - Love the new pic!
@HEGoddard0928 - I hope you have a better day today.
@annettehangartner - Letting adult children use your kitchen and take over is a tough one to do. I did it for the first time on Christmas this past year with my youngest and her new husband. It was hard to sit back and do, but they put on a fabulous dinner and cleaned up just as I would have. I was so impressed. Welcome!
@TerriRichardson112 - How is the project for your Grandson coming along? Did he look up the questions somewhere or did he write them himself?
@kuhl50 - I hope your boss appreciates your hard work and you are compensated for the long days.
@jenwalkingfurther - Chips are my kryptonite as well. I need to just stop buying them. I had done that previously, I didn't buy them for probably 5 years. If I really wanted some I had to go to the store and buy them and I would only buy a small bag. Since Covid has hit, I've been buying big family sized bags and I need to stop! There is only my husband and I at home.
@littleblackskirt - I hope you have a nicer day today weather wise.
@aubyshortcake - Irrational bosses are the best aren't they? I have had a few of them and am dealing with a boss whose manner I don't care for now too. It sucks because I really enjoy the job, but I don't know how long I'll be able to put up with her.
@teigansdad - I got my insurance renewed and paid for, now I need to remember to register the car for the next year by next Wednesday. You keep reminding me.
@AJB1014 - I keep getting that "unavailable" message as well. It usually works the 2nd or 3rd try though.
@fstrickl - This board is the best. It helped me lose 25lbs. If I had truly kept it up, I don't think I would be trying to lose 20 of that again.
@suzij27 - Evening snacking is my downfall every single night. I've been trying to remember what I used to do to stop it and I think what I did was allow myself one per night and then I would brush my teeth. I need to get back to that habit as I hate eating after brushing my teeth for a couple hours. My snacking is under control until around 9 when my husband goes to bed and then I get bored.
@busoxnardmg - 0.2 is still a loss. When I was losing regularly I found the weekly weigh-ins discouraging. I started weighing daily and tracking my weight in an Excel sheet. I then averaged it weekly and monthly and found that I was actually losing on average 1lb a week. It was encouraging and just what I needed to do. I also took measurements and was surprised to find inches gone before pounds usually.
@pridesabtch - Good luck with the big @$$ hill, I bet you can do it! I hope you find some relief to help you sleep, lack of sleep wreaks havoc on our whole life. My eldest daughter suffers terribly with insomnia, I was at a dispensary the other day and saw a new product that she is trying, she told me last night it is working well.
@PackerFanInGB - Why does the unknown cause us so much worry? I can handle almost anything but that. I like your idea of trying new things. I am going to try to write a book this year for my daughters, I am going to use my Mom's and Grandmother's diaries as a way to jog my memory on certain days and write a memoir for them. I have a lot of pictures I can put in as well. I think it will be nice for them to have 3 generations perspective on certain family events.
Well, again I have spent an hour on here this morning. I had everything all typed and hit the wrong button and lost it so had to start again.
I went and got my hair cut and coloured last night by my youngest daughter. She is not back at work yet, but is going at the end of the month so we decided it was safer for me to do it now. I had parcels come to my house for my eldest daughter so she came to pick them up and visited with us while it was being done. It was the first time since February we have all been together. It was so nice!
Today and tomorrow all staff and residents are being tested for Covid here in the nursing home. I think that this is just a way for the government to prove we are all safe and then they will allow visits again. I'm not sure if that's true or not, I guess time will tell.
I am hoping that the weather stays nice into the evening and I can go for a walk to try out my new shoes tonight.
Have a great day everyone.

@Snowflake1968 We’re on the home straight, as much as you can be as a writer. 😂 Every time I reread it, I add in something little detail. DH writes much less, so he is almost finished, but I’m proof-reading his, and collating the two, so it’s taking me much longer. It’s just as well I already had a body of memoir work to draw on or I would still be doing it next year.3

Hello and Happy Tuesday!
Today is going to be a scorcher! 99 expected, and still at 96 at 8pm tonight, I should have gotten my walk in this morning before work and that did not happen.....so I may be in a predicament LOL
Yesterday didn't quite go as planned, I did manage to not interfere with dinner makings when I got home from work, my adult daughter had things started and I just pulled together a salad, as that would be the primary base of my dinner. Need more water, did not work on finishing the writing of the service for this weekends wedding--that must be wrapped up tonight
Tuesday:
100 ounces water
walk late at night if possible, arm weights if not
Finish writing wedding service
Stay on track with calories 300brk/70 snack/400 lunch/50 snack/350 dinner
Spend 20 minutes in organization mode working on sewing studio set up
Stay focused at the office, getting ahead of the ball, minimizing stress

Yesterday was a nightmare. I forgot about a doctor's appt in the afternoon. Thank God I had set a reminder for an hour ahead on my phone. The appt went fine. It was just a follow up for my medication change. I had 3 different bouts of anxiety yesterday and when the last one wore off around 4ish I turned into a raging monster. I managed to keep my temper with Matt but all I wanted to do all night was break/throw something. I was not a happy girl. Which turned into me eating half a huge bag of white cheddar popcorn and 3 glasses of wine for dinner. I'm feeling better today but now I'm bored and I have a pretty strong that nothing is going to get done today either.
I have a week to get my story outline hammered out. If I were to sit down and do it, it probably wouldn't take me long at all. I have the basics of a pretty decent summary of what I want to do with it but actually sitting down and typing the damn thing up is going to be the death of me. The first day of drafting the rough draft is next Wednesday so I until then to do it.
Onto a few goals, I guess,

Thu 18: 149.2🤔
Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.

@Snowflake1968 That is my danger time too - after my husband goes to bed! And it is usually around 9. It would help if I could go to bed that early, or at least 10, but I’m not sleepy until 11 or 11:30.
I had a setback today that I am both angry and sad about. I had to have unexpected dental surgery this morning and was given a list of what I can and can’t eat for the next 3 days, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. And very few of the foods on it are part of my food plan or even things I like. And I’m not suppose to exercise for at least 3-7 days. Ugh!!!!!! I’m still going to record what I eat (and drink). I’m going to have to let go of my anger, move forward and plan my meals under these new (temporary) guidelines.8 -

13. Lights out 9:45👿
Why I’m even bothering to put “lights out 9:45” on a week where I know I’m working crazy hours is pretty silly. But this is just this one week, then a bit of a break next. Today’s long meeting went well, and if you’re going to work so hard it’s gratifying to have people give you unsolicited compliments on the effectiveness of the work!
I did manage to fit in weights and some biking during a call (above 90–too hot to walk). I was over on calories, mostly because DD decided to make homemade pasta (for the first time) for dinner and it wasn’t ready until 8–I was starving.
Happy Wednesday everyone!

Good morning everyone! I’m still here. JFT (Wednesday) I’m going to log everything and stay within calories. I also really like your idea of setting a lights out time @Kuhl50 - even if it doesn’t happen, it’s sometimes good to aim for something. I’ve definitely eaten worse on the recent days I’ve been overtired. So tough right now when a lot of my socialising is online - staring at a computer screen until after 10pm really isn’t good for my sleep. I’ll try to have all devices off by 9.30.5

I was so lazy regarding chores yesterday, just didn't do them. Did parents shop, and a few bits for myself. I bought their bread and forgot my own. I can't manage a whole week without bread! So when the rain stopped I walked back into town to buy it. Was out over an hour but forgot to time it. I seem to be forgetting quite a lot this week!

Make yourselves proud!
Food was not on point yesterday, I was under calories, but had pizza which tends to stay with me for a few days. The scale reflected that this morning. It shows a 2 pound gain which I doubt. Today is a work from home day so there is no reason my food should not be on point.
After work today, I'm going to do the ride I didn't do yesterday, but just hubby and I. It's a nice ride, rolling hills with a climb at the turning point. I will try the hill, but I'm just not sure I'll make it. Actually I'm pretty sure I won't, but we'll see just how far I get.
JFT Wednesday
- Weigh, DAMN
- Breakfast <300 cal
- Lunch <500 cal
- Afternoon meeting
- Evening bike ride, accept the challenge and try the climb at the end

@hegoddad0928 im sorry about the anxiety. My depression comes out as anger not sadness. It's such a mindf@&k! I hope you have a better day today. Also...the heat makes me angry lol.3
