@Bex953172 Sounds like this is happening with some frequency. If so, that's concerning. Medication, emotions, or health issues can cause lack of appetite. Loss of taste or smell? That can cause appetite loss ... and, now, it's also a symptom of Covid19. Hungry for one particular dish? If so, that could be why you're not happy with what is being offered.
Maybe take some time tonight to try to determine why this is happening. How frequently? What's stopping you from eating? Why do you need to eat regular meals? Do you have or should you establish an eating schedule? Do you have "nibblers" easily available ... sweet baby carrots, crunchy fresh cucumbers, grape tomatoes ... etc.
When you're hungry but can't eat, are you also angry? That may be a sign of a diabetic issue.
Skipping meals can also throw your body into a survival mode so it hangs on to every calorie and every drop of liquid ... resulting in a gain rather than loss.
Don't consider it a miserable post ... we've all had crappy days. And, here's where you can post where people will better understand because we've experienced similar issues. Hang In There!! 💐4 -

No loss of taste and smell, don't think its a covid thing, its more like.. im not hungry for anything, so picking something is really frustrating

Its kind of like, i don't even think about food, and when I'm hungry its like oh great, wtf am i gonna have, i should probably try an eating schedule, that might help but I'm still faced with not being able to decide
When you're hungry but can't eat, are you also angry? That may be a sign of a diabetic issue.
Not always, ill look into the diabetic thing, but if I am angry and can't eat id say its more emotional

Well atm the weight is coming off, which normally is something to celebrate but it panics me a bit because I know its not a healthy way of losing weight

I think it gets even harder as the week goes on and as the fridge and cupboards get emptier, less choice to have.
And then there's times where I finally decide something to eat and either midway through making it or after ive had my first bite ill change my mind and just not eat it.
I've tried just forcing it down lol but it doesn't exactly make me feel great.
Eating, to me, is more like a chore now
I bolded my answers in your quote lol, was a lot of questions, but helpful questions, thank you for your time to reply x2 -
Sneak peek of one of Sierra’s senior photos. The photographer sent me a teaser.

The other car was 10 or 11 years old, it had just moved his bumper a little bit, but since the bumper was all fibreglass and connected to the fenders they actually wrote his vehicle off as it was going to cost more to fix than the car was worth. It upped my insurance rate for 5 years waiting for that stupid thing. I miss the old cars of our youth that you could fix on your own and didn't cost a fortune.@Snowflake1968 Car park accidents are 50/50?!?!? How does that make any sense?!
So i couldve parked my vehicle properly within the marked lines and then left it there so I'm not even IN the car, and yet its half my fault, for what?! My car being in the way whilst someone crashed Lmao
I'd be so annoyed at that law lol. I wouldn't even pay, I honestly wouldn't. Take the money out my dead lifeless hand lmao
Yep! That's why I haven't contacted my insurance company at all, or hers. Not sure if someone hitting my parked car (between the lines with me not even around) is covered under Collision or Comprehensive. Either way I have a deductible amount of $100 or $500, depending. I'm also not sure if my rate would go up in future, but betting yes.
The damage is not that much (imho) and I can live with some minor damage to my paid for, used 2012 car. Hubby thinks he can pull out more of the dent, and we can paint the scratch over.
Thank for posting @Snowflake1968. You helped me make up my mind, because the expectation of some well-meaning folks was I would get full repairs, which I think is ridiculous.1 -

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
End of March: 193.8
End of April: 192.6
End of May: 191.8
End of June: 192.2
Today: 190.0
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning. PCP July 15 10:30. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
7. Theater: 1984.
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Google Hangout. Dinners?
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Progress. Today was a nothing day and I'm pretty glad of that.3 -
@cschmitz110515 - I’m glad I helped you make the decision.
@Bex953172 - I think @cesse47 gabe you lots to think about.
I have Michaela tonight, she was so excited for her sleepover. We very rarely get her alone. I have to share a little story, my biggest reason for not having the kids (outside of Covid) is bedtime. It’s always a battle and I hate it. We haven’t had a sleepover since January but Michaela must have remembered me complaining the last time that the reason I don’t like them sleeping over more often is because they won’t go to bed for me. Tonight she started asking me to go to bed at 630. Her bedtime is 730, so I had to keep telling her to wait. When it was finally time for her to go to bed she went without a peep.

Today my exercise was on point, but my eating wasn’t. Technically in the green for calories, but way too much was sugary junk food rather than healthy. I’m sure I’ll wake up hungry from the lack of volume. I need to go back through my notes and see if this is a hormonal pattern, or if this is me being in avoidance mode from feeling overwhelmed with work. Either is quite possible.

Saturday: all food logged, but mild fail on Project and complete fail on lawn. I will at least offer that my internet is down this weekend, which made Project work frustrating, and it was impossibly hot which really diminished my interest in the lawn. However, I'm taking that as a warning not to put too many things on the list, so today it's back to basics...
Sunday: log all food.3 -
Is it me or is it quiet on this thread nowadays?0

Good morning everyone! I've been out of commission for a few days. I had a Covid test done on Friday...definitely not a nice experience. I was feeling really run down on Thursday and Matt wanted me to get one done because he works in retail with the public. I'm feeling much better now but we're still quarantining until the results come back. The problem is that the lab my doctor is using is backed up so it could take anywhere from 3-14 days for the results to come back...which means that Matt is out of work until then.
He's missed a lot of work recently between his own health issues and now mine. Le sigh.
I'm an hour behind schedule for the day because I fell asleep on the couch after I got out of bed and made a cup of coffee. Lol. I have a bunch of stuff I want to do so I have to hurry up and get done with the first step so I can get everything else done on time!
I hope everyone is having a great day!
Today I will:
- write bipolar article
- shower
- finish KCE course/SEO course
- edit article and add SEO words
- figure out dinner!
- hang out with Matt after dinner(we need so time together)

Weekends, I don't always take time to post but yesterday was big fail on eating. Meals were fine, healthy and proper portions. It was what I ate between meals. Ack! So posting some goals.
JFT Sunday 7/26
1) Church 7:45
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (2nd floor to basement) / 5 somethings
2) Decide supper / net cals green / 14c water
3) Wash dishes

5) Prep lunch/snacks/water bottle & overnight oats for work from office Mon.
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / early alarm (x-train before work)
Today there will be no dog walk. Temp was 80F at 7 a.m. and so humid my glasses steamed up when I went outside. I hate this weather. May have storms throughout the day. Now I hear thunder, and rain just started. I am grateful we have central AC and well-insulated house that keeps cool for long time.
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2.1.20 / 2.29.20 / 4.1.20 (forgot 3.31.20) / 5.1.20 (forgot 4.30.20) / 6.3.20 (forgot at ME again)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk (some) & more basement boxes Feb. / basement boxes & home office (some more) Mar. / decluttered/cleaned in bedroom & more basement boxes Apr. / basement boxes May ~ very pleased w/ my progress / reorg in basement June & July1 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Very late checking in today, it’s 9pm here. Michaela woke me up at 750 this morning and started asking immediately when we were going to Auntie’s for the day. I was able to convince her to have some breakfast first and then we were on the road. I didn’t get back home until 730 this evening. It was a wonderful day.
It’s too late now to post goals so will have to do it in the morning.3 -

Happy Monday! I took the weekend off from logging, but I still ate sensibly. I also kept up with my “no chip” streak. It’s really paying off. The scale was down another half pound, which is about a 6lb loss for the month! 🥳
JFT MONDAY:
- Log it all / Stay green
- NO CHIPS
- Budget
- House chores (wash softball uniforms)
- 2 softball games - Pack ice rags - it’s gonna be HOT! ☀️🔥
- Continue scraping the house / buy can of paint
- Figure out CCD schedule for S
JULY CHALLENGE:
In an attempt to refocus this month, I’ve decided to try and give up chips. This will be extremely difficult. I eat them almost daily. They are my weakness. I’m using a bikini as my emoji, since that will be a goal for next summer!
*************NO CHIP CHALLENGE*************

ORAMM 2020 in the books... sitting out on porch of VRB rental w cup of coffee just soaking it in...
I’m super proud to report I met my goal.. 4 hour and 57 minutes... my goal was a 5 hr time. To be totally honest I wasn’t sure I could do that but figured I’d shoot for the stars. The awesome part is in doing this I also finished 10th! The competition here was crazy. Still not sure I had any business doing that well but I did say I was gonna race and not just ride it this year and man not to boast but still riding high...
Alright time to get back to it. Drank a ton of beer last night. Ready to get back to healthy
Monday goals
Rest day
If we can talk my buddy into riding we are gonna hit some local trails before headed home.. I think he’s still in trauma from yesterday so doubt we will... if not will do Easy trainer spin to recover when I get home
