    Today I will:
    - post 😁
    - take meds😁
    - feed my parent's animals(last time! YAY!) 😁
    - put the damn clothes away!😭
    - DISHWASHER!!! (It's starting to get pretty gross)😁
    - call doctor re sick appt😁
    - call Walgreems re refund for failed online order😭 Must do today!!!
    - call NDOBGYN re fertility consult 😭 Must also do today
    - call work re out of work tomorrow and Friday 😁
    - go to doctor if appt available😁 Did a phone consult.
    - pick up meds(if applicable) 😁 picked up some cold medicine
    - lots of tea/water/vitamin C 😁

    I'm having an internal battle with myself about whether to go into work today or not because we have a new student starting today. And apparently he's a handful. But I still sound pretty terrible. Matt said to call out due to the situation were in now with Covid. I guess I'm going to have to. I just feel bad about it. The doctor said that it's just a cold but I don't want to spread it around to anyone because that would just suck. I think I already got Matt sick.

    Thanks for all the Happy Birthday wishes! It was a nice quiet day. Mom and Dad came and visited for a few minutes after they got home from their trip. That was nice.

    Okay onto some goals.

    Today I will:
    - post 😁
    - call NDOBGYN re fertility consult
    - call Walgreens!!!!
    - run the dishwasher again
    - work on outline
    - training
    - figure out dinner
    - bed at a reasonable time

    @snowflake1968 It's pretty much the same feeling. Lol. Although the dishwasher takes about 3 minutes to load and press the start button as opposed to the 20 minutes it used to take me to do the dishes. I'm just lazy.

    @bex953172 Tbh, I've been putting off making the appt for a while now. I think I'm just scared. I had originally planned to make it in February but then I had to have surgery, then Covid happened. But I'm going to do it! I'm gonna call today! I need to make this happen. I'm 32 now! I want to have a baby damn it! Lol

    @HEGoddard0928 - Hope you had a great birthday! Sorry you and Matt didn’t get the news you were hoping for. There is a great book called “Taking Charge of Your Fertility”. I highly recommend it and think it should be required reading for all young women! I read it when I was thinking about trying for kids. It really helps you understand what’s going on in your body each month and how to look for signs for your most fertile window. Best of luck!

    MONDAY:
    - Log food🟢
    - Make a meal plan🟢
    - Pick up produce🔴
    - Support remote learning🟢
    - Laundry and indoor chores🟢
    - Work on packing up the pool🟢
    - Dance for E🟢
    - Soccer for S🟢

    Yesterday was a good day. I logged my food for the first time in a while. I also didn’t eat a bunch of snacks or anything. I feel like I’m getting back to my old habits.

    JFT TUESDAY:
    - Log all food / stay green
    - Clean backyard / prep shed for painting
    - Indoor chores
    - clean fish tank
    - softball for S / soccer for E
    - Update budget

    Have a great day! 💕

    Yes do.make yourself that appointment!! Go get yourself that baby lol!!

    Also, did you buy a new dishwasher?
    And still don't do the pots :tongue:

    I'm sure I told you it wouldn't change anything 🤣 I have an dishwasher too and still my pots don't get done right lmao!!
    And you're right, it takes 3 minutes to load!! Youre very similar to me in the lazy aspect. Lol I wish I wasn't but its like I was just born lazy lmao!
    And the same with the clothes.
    I now have 2 mountains. One clean, one dirty haha

    @SERmom3 I just put in a request for Taking Charge of Your Fertility from my library. I'm definitely going to read it! Thank you for the suggestion.

    @Bex953172 Dad put in the dishwasher before we moved up here. It's actually one I got from an old boss. Lol. It works pretty well. Some things I have to rinse really well before I can load though.

    Boy do I understand the clothes mountain problem! Our hamper is overflowing and I have a huge pile of clean clothes to fold! If I wasn't so sick I'd contemplate going to the laundromat. But definitely not today.

    I've been a little MIA lately. The thought of goals was just overwhelming with everything else going on in my life right now. Unfortunately, without the goals I am self destructing. I need to get back on here if even for just one thing today. Maybe tomorrow I'll do better.

    JFT Monday
    - Log everything :(

    Have a great day y'all.
    Nikki

    Let's try again...

    Rainy day. My youngest has a cold that I think she is sharing. I'm mostly just tired. Hopefully it will all pass soon and she can go back to school.

    JFT Tuesday

    - Protein bar for breakfast :(
    - Audits :smiley:
    - Protein bar for lunch :smiley:
    - Instrument repair
    - No cookies tonight
    - If calories allow, I will have some homemade blackberry ice cream after dinner...

    Have a great day y'all!

      Good morning everyone. @mytime6630 and @faebert I’m with you on the struggles and the need to take back control of food (and drink). We know we can do it as we’ve done it before but that doesn’t make it easy!

      Yesterday was actually a pretty good day. I was tired, but despite that managed to get quite a bit of work done. And then in the evening, I did actually stick to my plan of not having any junk or alcohol. Which means I feel somewhat fresher today (not exactly fresh, but better...)

      I've decided to give up week night drinking at home for the month of October (at least). I've been thinking about doing this for a little while but haven't really been motivated to do it as, frankly, a nice glass of wine takes the edge off work. However, I'm reading a book on positive thinking (which is something I want to be better at) and yesterday I read a chapter about taking care of your body. It talked about the link between mind and body and basically said, if you're putting rubbish into your body and not sleeping well so that you don't feel good physically... how do you expect to feel good mentally/ emotionally? This really resonated with me, as I know that when I don't sleep well, and alcohol contributes to not sleeping well, I am really pretty grumpy. So, I'm going to try cutting out the week night alcohol and see what impact it has.

      Anyway, yesterday's goals:

      - Log everything I eat :)
      - Be in the green :| 200 over, but I'm happy with that - it's better than the past few weeks!
      - No alcohol :)
      - Stay positive :)
      - Read emails at intervals only :/It's very hard to do this... Particularly because often I'm working on things that involve looking at specific emails...

      - Go for walk at lunch :)
      - Pick up new glasses :)
      - (Dinner) Talk to boyfriend in French :)
      - Get on top of emails :)
      - Watch Bake Off! :)
      - No watching TV in bed :)
      - Light off by 11 :/About 11.15, I wasn't sleepy at 11 so kept reading for a bit

      - post 😁
      - call NDOBGYN re fertility consult :)
      - call Walgreens!!!! :#Really need to do this! $100 is a lot of money to lose on something stupid like this.
      - run the dishwasher again :)
      - work on outline :)
      - training :#
      - figure out dinner :)
      - bed at a reasonable time :)Like 9:30ish or something

      So I've been up up since about 4ish. But was in and out of sleep, tossing and turning since 2:30. It's very annoying. But I managed to get a good chunk of my outline done so that makes me really happy. I'm really going in-depth into it. But it'll make actually writing it a lot easier for me.

      I'm going to call out of work today but go back tomorrow. I still have a bad stuffy nose. My cough is bad when I actually cough which I don't do all that frequently. I'm taking cold medicine that has a cough suppressant in it. So, that's been helping a lot. I just wish the sinus pressure and headache would go away. I'm hoping to be back to work tomorrow so I at least have one day in.

      I'm taking Friday off because I'm meeting a girlfriend and going to a women's getaway with my church. I'm excited about that. The weekend was supposed to be in June but with Covid and everything they postponed it until this weekend. It's going to be a bit cold but I'll just make sure to wear layers and bring a blanket for the actual message meetings.

      I have to do a bit of laundry today so that I actually have clean clothes to bring to the weekend. Lol. I'm just gonna do it at my parent's house instead of going to the laundromat. No point in spending an hour and a half there when I feel so *kitten*. I'm probably just going to do a single load of necessities than do more after I get home from the weekend.

      Okay, onto some goals!

      Today I will:

      - post
      - call out of work/text R
      - take cold medicine when I'm supposed to
      - work on the outline/try to finish
      - figure out dinner for me
      - do training!
      - empty dishwasher
      - do laundry/create a packing list!
