    @pridesabtch - work upheaval is so stressful.
    Hope you learn more soon and it isn’t dragged out.

    @Bex953172 - so many people have anxiety. My daughter named hers Fred. When she’s having a hard day or moment her husband will ask her if Fred is being an a** again and it’s helped her immensely. She gets angry and tells Fred where to go and what to do.

    That's amazing! I've heard of doing that too on a mental health thread. And even did it myself. Funnily enough when I read it on the internet, they called theirs Fred too!
    So when I was getting down I said to myself "F off Fred!"
    It helps separate the condition from the real you I find!

    I'm glad it helps her too!

    Today I have to travel to my business. I don't really want to go, as we have high winds again, but I don't have an option to put it off.
    So goals for today are to drive carefully, and not overeat.

    Mission accomplished yesterday. No new damage, some had been fixed and some hadn't. I drove very carefully! Really strong winds, and torrential rain on the way home. I dislike when the roads are swimming in water, I've aquaplaned and crashed a car before so it makes me anxious now. Something hit the roof of my car, can only think it was a small bit of tree, the noise really made me jump. Still glad I went, today we've had a little covering of snow, but it's frozen and cars are crashing so it would be more dangerous today. I didn't log but did quite well...until I sunk to a new "low" and took a handful of crisps to bed with me. That is a bad habit I shouldn't encourage!

    JFT Thursday 24th Feb

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
    Foot exercises
    Walk (only if the ice melts)
    Tidy house
    Paperwork
    Sort bins

    You live in the UK right? Are you more up north from Manchester? I can't remember where you live.
    Here it's been windy, not too much damage from what I've read in the news.
    The river Mersey burst its banks though in Storm Eunice.
    Today its been so cold and hailing on and off. And bouts of heavy rain.

    Trees always worry me when it's windy.
    You never know which ones going to fall.
    Years ago a tree fell into a road near our school. It was massive..huge.
    And it turned out it was my friends tree. I was at her house all the time and we always played next to that tree in her back garden.
    I can't remember what damage it caused. It was 15 years ago now!

    But yeah, don't like trees when it's windy!

    Stressful start today. Woke up to the news about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, leading to concerns for family and friends working on military bases in Germany, as well as for visiting Ukrainian students and their families. Spent most of my morning prep time watching the BBC coverage while my tea got cold. Then, in a rush, I dropped a heavy jar on my toe - ouch! - not broken but quite sore. Arrived at class late and frazzled because I couldn't find my car keys.

    But I'm done with classes for the week, so I'll be try to get a few things done at home and work in some exercise. Today's temperatures are almost 40 degrees cooler than yesterday's unseasonably balmy 70. Another winter storm is moving in, although we'll probably get mostly rain. The local weatherman calls it "weather whiplash." I'll be fighting the urge to huddle under a blanket and get sucked into my screens.

    Recap - Wednesday 2/23
    Log - :)
    Balanced meals - :)
    Stay hydrated - :)
    Walk - :) Gorgeous weather. Squeezed in an hour on the boardwalk.
    Sort mail - No.

    - Up by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Weigh :smiley:
    - Meetings / Work stuff :smiley:
    - Spin at 6:00 :smiley:
    - Log food :smiley:
    - No alcohol :smiley:
    - Stay green :smiley:
    - Bed by 11:30 :smiley:

    Love y'all! Take care.

    Wow, today got bad fast at work. Sigh...

    Anyway, yesterday was pretty good goal wise. I was super glad it was a work from home day where I could stay in my jammies until afternoon. I did teach spin, but honestly it wasn't my best effort, I burned about 120 calories less than I usually do in an hour session. Still worked up a sweat and moved so that is good. Weight is steadily but slowly moving again, for which I'm thankful. When I exercise, I tend to eat better. When I weigh-in daily I am definitely more conscious of what I'm consuming. It's good until I get obsessive, then I need to step back a bit. This is where I tend to falter. If x amount of exercise and y amount of food = weight loss, then more exercise and less food will = more weight loss. Though this is technically true, it isn't sustainable or necessarily healthy. Take tonight for instance, I'd like to go out to dinner with hubby since our daughter will be out of town, but I'm anxious about eating out because it will cause at minimum a bump on the scale. I know it won't even be real weight gain, but I can let it mess with my mind. I think a good plan for me is to log food, try to stay within maintenance, and not weigh for a few days until the sodium and bloat go away. Hopefully that will keep me from getting discouraged. Of course sometimes this back fires and I go off the rails because I'm not holding myself accountable. Sigh...

    Taking a rest day from the bike today as I'm doing a long trainer ride with a friend bright and early tomorrow. She has 3 hours planned, I think I'll try for 1.5 - 2 hours depending on how uncomfortable my road bike is with my big ole belly.

    JFT Friday
    - Up by 7:00 :smiley:
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley: Showering at night is the key to me getting to work on time.
    - Big work issues, pretty sure I shouldn't care as much as I do considering how they are screwing me over.
    - Protein bar for brunch
    - Log Food
    - Home by 3:30
    - Drop kiddo off at church at 4:15
    - Deliver food to school for theater at 4:30
    - Date night with hubby, if he's free... his work has been a bit crazy also
    - Stay under 1800 calories
    - Limited alcohol, 3 beers?
    - Bed by 10:00

    Have a great Friday y'all!

    Log everything no
    Stay in the green no
    Foot exercises no
    Osteopath appointment yes
    Indoor pottering jobs yes

    I'm visiting the osteopath today, so will take it easy this afternoon.

    So yesterday started well but then went downhill. I ended up doing some executors tasks in the evening with a drink and crisps. Today doesn't look much better, I have quite a lot of executor's stuff to do and I'm not getting much peace to do it with a hyper child around.

    JFT Saturday
    I will be patient
    I will not have takeaway food

    Friday was mostly a bust. Didn't post. Didn't log. Didn't exercise. Spent much of the day commenting on student papers and working out my summer teaching situation. But I did take a break to cook and enjoy a lovely dinner with family.

    No goals today except to have an easy, stress-free day with my husband.
