Scale 198.2 (This is what happens when I drink water)
1L of water
Log all food

@littleblackskirt - Strength is a good word. I am like you, I've lost weight several times and then gain it back. The logging isn't a hassle to me its the meal prep and saying No to fast food. I really dislike cooking and I'm tired of having to make the decision for what food all the time.

@pridesabtch - I hope your daughter heals quickly, that is painful. Sierra is beautiful and I would be wanting to shout that to the rooftops too! Congratulations to her.

@bex953172 - Do you have to homeschool or do they have online learning? My Grandson in the Spring had to do homeschooling and that did not work well at all with him. In September they were given the choice of online school or regular and they chose online. It is completely different than the homeschooling, he logs into a classroom each morning with 20+ other students and a teacher. My daughter just has to make sure he is logged on and not having any tech issues. He is actually doing really well with it academically, he misses his friends though and recess, etc. I bet you "counting ducks at the park", helping you bake or cook, whatever you do with them sticks more than school anyway. What do you remember about elementary school? I don't remember learning, I remember the teachers and friends I made. I remember learning about measurements from helping Dad hold the tape measure and my Grandmother bake.

@teigansdad - The reasons you mentioned are the reasons my daughter and her husband chose to keep my Grandson doing online learning. I agree that this has changed us all and I'm worried about the children. My Granddaughter (she turned 5 on Sunday) was shy but still willing to try new things, she loved having some independence from her Mom going to preschool. Now she cries and screams every time her Mother leaves the room. When this started she was peeing herself and hadn't for 2 years. It's changed her personality for sure.

@damselfly7981 - I'm curious about "watering dead plants" too, I assume you mean quit putting energy into something that isn't going to work, but would love to know what you mean.

@aerochic42 - I hear you about money. It's so hard to come by sometimes.

@sarah74_vt - nice to see you back

Well I am at work and should get on with the day. Yesterday our system was down all day and I can't do a lot without it, so I'm hoping it's up and running today.

Have a great day everyone.

@klanders30 Welcome to the group!

@Bex953172 I don't envy you for having to homeschool. I know it's the safest thing and we do what we have to do, but I always found it incredibly difficult to teach my own children when they were very young. I just didn't have the patience. Best of luck to you and the kiddos during this time.

Vanessa is feeling better today.

Good news about my older daughter, Sierra. She got a rowing scholarship at the university she really wanted to attend. With the rowing scholarship and the academic scholarships, it is comparable to going in state. She is also up for a 4 year full tuition scholarship which will stack with the athletic scholarship. This would mean tuition and room and board would be covered! They have a brilliant nursing school with all of the latest technology, a 95% first-time pass rate for the NCLEX and partner with some of the best hospitals in Pittsburgh. It is technically a dead period for NCAA DI schools, so she can't sign but has a verbal commitment. Anyway, she won't let me tell many people in the RW, and I'm over the moon excited for her so I'm sharing here.

Goals JFT Tuesday
- Weigh in, OMG that was awful! I had no idea I'd gained that much weight. Well Ok, I did, but I was trying to deny it. But I did weigh in so
- Work by 8:00 more like 8:30
- Protein shake for breakfast
- One soda during the day, then water
- Healthy lunch made up from random healthy snacks I have in the office, didn't pack a lunch.
- 30 minutes of exercise
- 1 self care act
- think we're having crab legs for dinner. If I skip the butter, that comes in low on cals!
- Do bible reading
- Max 1 healthy snack after dinner, if I'm hungry. I've found that saying I can't have one leaves me wanting, but allowing for one makes it easier.
- Bed after the news.
