Not sure whether to weigh in due to TOTM and McDonalds. I dunno if it will be accurate.
Well this morning I did weigh in and I've lost 2lb!
Yay!
We didn't have the take away in the end. Rescheduled for today. Which is better really because I know I'm going to be over on calories today as it is, whereas yesterday I did well.
Posting late (very late) but goals are pretty much the same.

Been off plan lately, but not stressing. Been busy with life.
Had to redo the Scooby Doo board. I think it turned out pretty good. She worked really hard.

Yesterday we took a drive cross country to check on the house of BiL who is visiting his daughter/granddaughter in Potsdam, USA. There was a coating of snow on the hill he lives on.Life Affirmations

Hi there! I've been really struggling with wearing CPAP every night. Do you wear the full mask on your face? Not trying to be nosy, but curious if you found one that isn't a full mask... I get so dang hot at night with that thing on!3 -
Hour commitment - Back from long hike, had lunch. Now I won't eat again until after 5 pm, except my dose of metamusal.3

@Bex953172 How was your fast food day? Did you go back to McDonalds? What do you usually order when you go there? I've been so hungry for a Big Mac, I can almost taste it lately.
@Snowflake1968 I love the house you are working on. I have never done ceramics, but I think I would love it. I hope 2022 will feel more settled so I can start looking around at all the things Green Bay area has to offer and find some hobbies. I cannot spend the rest of my life watching Netflix and trying to stay out of my kitchen! LOL!
@Faebert I'm so glad your cat is doing better! I think a face mask or something would be a great idea. I need to think of more of this type of thing, as money is tighter than normal here also, but I want to be able to do some self-care things to keep m spirits up. So far I've come up with a few things I love but rarely take time to do: Bubble Bath, facial, mani/pedi, watching a chick flick with candles, hot tea and maybe some popcorn. We do have a theater here in town that has $5 Tuesdays. You can go see any movie for $5 and you get a free large popcorn and soda with it. Although I don't need to eat a whole large popcorn, I think it might be nice to go see a matinee on Tuesday afternoon...
@ZizzyBumble I hope your ankle feels better soon!
@mytime6630 I have a quilt I started in 1994 that I never finished! LOL! I should take a page out of your book and get my butt downstairs and finish all my projects...

Lazy Saturday. My son headed home after brunch and I spent the next couple of hours doing puzzles on the NYTimes site. Didn't get around to posting goals, but I made a pot of cauliflower cheese soup for dinner and watched a movie with my husband. (And yes, I ate too many snacks )
Recap - Friday, 1/7- Balanced meals - Although I cooked a lot of yummy stuff, I think I did pretty well in terms of what I actually ate.
- Stay hydrated -
- Walk in the snow - Got too caught up in finishing the Lego project.
- Straighten house for the weekend - A bit, only to mess it up again
- Lego project - We did it! I really enjoyed working on this with my son.
- Enjoy time with family - My daughter's family joined us later in the day. While the boys spent some quality time with their Uncle D, my husband, daughter, and I collaborated on fixing a yummy dinner (with popovers!). Wrapped up the evening with games and lots of laughter. It was a good day
- Bed by midnight? - Well, I am still on break...
I'll be back on tomorrow to catch up and post some goals.
In the meantime, here's our whimsical little slice of Paris.

@mytime6630 - I too need to finish some projects this year.
@pridesabtch - love the Scooby Doo project.
@TerriRichardson112 - how long is a cross country drive in Ireland. It’s more than a 3 day drive across Canada
@PackerFanInGB - I have been wondering about @HEGoddard0928 too. It’s been a long time. I have a lot of friends that struggle with a CPAP. I was tested and needed a smaller one. It was about the size of an old radio alarm clock, the air flow came from a small device in your nostrils.
@beachwalker99 - sounds like a nice day, love your little slice of Paris
I don’t know if the scale was not reading correctly today or not but it read 185.6! This is what I weighed around Kaitlyn’s wedding!
I got part of Christmas taken down today. It’s a chore for sure, but feeling quite happy with myself.
I’ll be back tomorrow

@Outdoorsy_Canadian I'm sorry you had a bad day. It happens to all of us at some point, hope you're feeling a bit better now!
I really need to bath my dog too. He's a shorthaired dog but he's just smelt really "doggy" lately and he normally smells okay lol.
He can be a bit stubborn sometimes though, I'm not sure if he actually likes the showers or not haha, he hates rain and will not go out in it at all but he stands as stiff as a rock whilst he's in the bath hahaha he must hate it.3 -
@PackerFanInGB
Oh yeah, gotta be a Big Mac, I stay medium though (ash gets large) and get a milkshake, if the machines on.
It's hard sometimes because I live so close! Literally step out of my house, go down my road (like 200 yards) and turn left and you can see it right in front of you on the opposite side of the road lol.
Sometimes when I come outside the house I can just smell the chips 😂
Last night though, we ordered our monthly takeout. We decided on pizza, got a few chicken strips and milkshake.
But I just ate too much. I felt uncomfortably full. Kinda wish I hadn't done it or atleast not ate it all. I should have stopped and saved some for later.
Still need to figure out how to log it the best I can. So I need to have a clean week now for the rest of the week! No junk! Or just whatever fits in my calories.,3 -
Word the year: Determination
JFT Sat 8th
- Log all food ✔️
- 6 waters✔️
- Exercise (min. 15 minutes)❌
- Clean up a bit✔️✔️
So I managed to log my takeaway just about. I was over yesterday by 1500 calories and with the steps and cleaning that made it 1000 over.
I've been tracking my calories weekly on a spreadsheet. So at 1,596/day that equals 11,172 calories per week. I've figured to level out over the week I need to have 1,300/day this week so that's the aim. But that isn't including any exercise calories.
Didn't exercise yesterday as I was too busy cleaning, we hoovered, mopped, polished, cleaned some pots, picking lots of stuff up off the floor.
We finally fixed our dryer (and to think we were gonna replace a £400 dryer, it only cost £8 for the part to fix it!!) I'm glad Ash knows how to fix things and proper looks into it before just binning things!
Although today I have the monumental task of clearing the girls cupboard of clothes, figuring out what's staying and what's going to charity/binned and then folding all the washing we did yesterday and putting it all away again (about 6 loads and more still to do!!)
^^^^ apologies for the essay! Onto my goals...
JFT Sunday 9th
- Log all food
- Try to stay below 1,300 calories
- Drink 6 waters.
- Only have carbs at dinner (roast potatoes)
- Sort the girls clothes and the rest of the washing.
- Walk the dog - only if there's time!
*Sunday's always gonna be a rest day for exercise*

Hi all. Feeling strangely weary today. Worrying about lots of life admin things, like my energy deal coming to an end and the upcoming price rises. It’s so hard to get this right when even the experts are shrugging their shoulders and saying it’s all unprecedented. I hate this aspect of being a single parent - the responsibility for all the bills, home upkeep etc. Still don’t feel like a grown-up!
Anyway, will try and dedicate some time to it this evening as I got some work done yesterday instead of today as planned. Lots of cleaning to do now and I’ve done a quick treadmill run.
Happy Sunday everyone x

@Bex953172 - I saw your post about the girls the other day, my daughter is going through the same thing and I saw these, It might help. Each child could have their own chore list for their age.
