My goals for today ~ March 8th
1. Listen more than speak @ work meeting.

2. Find out work log in details for home PC.

3. Complete updates at work.

4. Practice using skipping ropes after work.

5. Sort laundry after work.

6. Avoid unwanted biscuits at work.

^^^ a sensitive situation might be brought up during work meeting, and I ain't getting involved 🙃 I have already done what I can. Some people just don't wana listen 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don't need the stress. Hopefully it goes well, but I will just keep my mouth shut, and my ears open. (All while avoiding the biscuits).

I like skipping! I wanna know how some people do it so fast and for ages! I feel like I'm all legs and arms everywhere hahah

I do the same thing in situations like that , just stay waaaaay out of it.

@littleblackskirt (((hugs))) I'm sorry for the emotional time you're going through. I hope the sweeter memories buoy you up. You're dealing with a lot right now, don't beat yourself up for saying "no" to other things. I've been there. Hopefully some will understand. Just let them know later, after some time has passed. Things will get better.

Welcome @BeIn2day This is a nice group! (I'm fairly new to the group too) I think looking at smaller habits tend to help with our bigger, more vague goals. Sometimes they seem to help each other (like you accomplished one thing and it propelled you to do the other). I like your lunch goal!

@clicketykeys ((hugs))) about your weight journey. I'm frustrated with mine too, it's like "put that down! Exercise!" But I look at all that's left to pack and go do that instead, or get sad and eat cookies. Small steps; let's both try to make one small step forward today.

@Janele0627 Yay congrats on your big changes! I hope your interview goes really well!


@PackerFaninGB Hello!! Yeah there's a lot to do and we know it builds up so we started packing as soon as we knew we were moving. And then it's going to be like the Oregon Trail so there's more!!! No house, no shelter, etc. We have several plans we've made to choose from on how we can follow codes and build at the same time (nobody should assume that you're actually allowed to live on your own land just because you own it...sigh....county codes). It just depends on how things work out. Just getting there is sapping our funds enough. Yes we hope to have a true homestead, be more self-sufficient, grow our own food. The trick there is water and improving the soil with organic matter. It's very rural but that's what we'd been hoping for. Unlike where we currently live, where the big push/goals are to get ready for the deep winter; there we will get ready for the big rains; both to collect it and not need to go anywhere (because we will be unable to). Definitely going to be a lot of exercise there! DH is taking care of me already, we've discussed the precautions to take when moving to a much higher elevation. He's moved a lot so he's more experienced.
I keep hoping to exercise each day but end up packing and doing other stuff instead. I'll try to insert it into my routine though as I really need it. We've been sedentary a lot lately, I don't want to just collapse on moving day!

@TerriRichardson112 Hello! Sorry I've been away but it's nice to chat in this group and hopefully motivate myself to do a little more on my own habits while packing. I also have trouble with evening dessert attacks. I want to have a habit of drinking tea instead.

@pridesabtch Sorry about the work stress. I hope it blows over soon. I hope you went to the spin class to burn off some stress energy. I know I feel better when I exercise.

@beachwalker99 The walk sounded lovely!

@cschmitz110515 I hope you feel better soon!

All the planes going by (we're near military) plus moving plus some weight gain and not being able to exercise...and stress of upcoming move are stressing me out a bit. I ate way too many cookies yesterday and not enough water. I was disappointed that some help to take things to donate wasn't given. DH and I moved it beside the dumpster and in the "donate area" in our complex. (now you know why people don't always take it to be donated; physically cannot) I was pleased as punch to see that neighbors took the items.
JFT Tuesday:
Wait quietly for DH to wake up (struggling with neck pain)
Do more self-care goals for the morning, take longer to pray and read Scripture (stress/packing can wait)
Exercise NOW
