Not too worried about it… it’s a good reminder to pre-log, but also a good reminder to sometimes just eat the cake with my kids on family game night!
Glad you had a lovely family game night! Have a terrific week ahead!1 -

Have you ever gone back and re-read impressions from your Younger Self? What have you learned over the years that you wish you could pass back upstream to that Younger Self?
I have written diaries/journals for almost 30 years, and regularly reread what I wrote.
@jamcnewman struck a cord with her Willie Nelson reference. Knowing when to walk away or run saved my sanity on more than one occasion.
I would add to your graphic:
You are under no obligation to accept the opinion of those who chose to put you down in childhood and youth. Walk away and prove them wrong!2 -

Way over pass days in my learning month
Well, I went off the rails in a way I haven't for a while.
I did get exercise - 15 minutes MommaStrong and then supervised the kids in a cold playdate at the park and walked in circles around the swings when I could. That added up to at least 5 minutes, so I got the 20. Did not stretch, and am feeling it today.
My wife went on a day trip so I was alone with the kids. The time change had me very tired (and the kids a bit more difficult than usual). And being out in the cold is always a trigger. I took a power nap midday while the kids had "rest time" hoping that would be a reset, and it was a reset of attitude but not of self-control. I ate what the kids ate for snack and dinner, and didn't track it and it was WAY over. I did at least add a salad to dinner. The reason I didn't stretch is because I had to spend extra time in the bathroom (TMI, sorry) because my digestive system was so mad at me for what I ate.
Oh well, need to forgive and move on. At least that spinach artichoke dip is no longer in the front of the freezer tempting me every day.
@SummerSkier never used the private blog - I just type everything for all of you to read!
@BMcC9 this time change is so disorienting! But thanks for the prompt. What I have been reflecting on as a difference between my younger self and my current self is an ability/desire to have fun. @WhatMeRunning I think you had the prompt last week about how much you enjoy the things you do in life - that set me thinking about that. I am basically aiming in life for getting in a lot of things that are solid 7s (in the 1-10 enjoyment scale). In the depths of covid difficult time I did not have time or energy even for that. For the last year or so (after getting to a really dark place) I have really focused on getting in my 7s - nutritious food, daily walk, daily exercise, etc.
But thinking about my wife's day trip yesterday, and gatherings we have started to have. I am about ready maybe to start asking myself what I could do that would be a 10. Like maybe I could fit those in occasionally.
Pre-parenting that was of course my focus, really. I mean, I took care of work and my life but used all my planning skills to figure out how to make my life fun when I had time for fun.
But since having kids that has been harder to fit in. The truth is that this goes way before COVID - but we were kind of about to come out of a difficult phase (we thought) when covid hit.
It seems really scary to think about what would be fun for me... I'm going to try.

Tried hard to do well on my vacation but my supper was a stacked enchilada with lots of cheese, impossible to track accurately but I suspect it could have put me over calories.
