Hi .. just posting early for tomorrow. Super tired and I plan on resting and catching up on my reading. We haven’t eaten dinner yet. I don’t plan on going over on my cals. But have organic yogurt with ground flax seed ( that I love) budgeted. Also..I lost 1 pound this week which is super motivating for me.5 -
@MLCTX yeah thanks for letting us know about Hannah. I do hope she's okay! Did you message her on Facebook or just just check to see how she was doing? XXX
I do not have a personal Facebook page. My hubby has a business page which allows me to at least search for people if needed. I bet she would respond to someone from here who has a personal Facebook page though;

It's worth a try maybe 🤷♀️
Thank you. I’ve sent her a message.3 -

Thank you JFT friends for your support. The hugs were much appreciated @BeIn2day, and @MLCTX, thank you for your kind words. I really do have so much to be grateful for, not least of all the friendship and encouragement I've found here
I picked up two flats of pansies and one of johnny-jump-ups yesterday. Today I'll work on filling the deck boxes and maybe do a couple of hanging baskets. The deer seem to find the pansies irresistible, so I need to keep them well out of their reach. The daffodils are opening and the forsythia burst into bloom yesterday - just in time to welcome Spring.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Recap - Saturday, 3/19
Log -
Balanced meals - No. Under on calories but too high in saturated fat. A bit high on sodium as well.
Hydrate -
Walk outdoors - Took a long walk at one of our local parks with my husband. The hilly trails were a good workout!
Clean up kitchen - Halfway done. Then I took a nap.
Stop at nursery for pansies -
Work in the garden - Did a bit of clean-up to get ready for Spring planting.
Relax! -

Been a bit on and off with my logging again. But my cough is a bit up and down at the minute. Got decent night's sleep over the weekend but last night I was up all night coughing again.
I can tell it's nearly at the end and definitely clearing up. It I just hate how they linger!5 -
Didn't get much work done yesterday, but it still was a pretty good day. My daughter's family came over in the afternoon, and we had a lovely, relaxing dinner to celebrate the first day of Spring. I took a bit of a break from my usual restrictions and made a yummy asparagus and goat cheese tart, shrimp scampi, and garlic bread. To balance the meal, my daughter made a big green salad, and I served fruit and berries for dessert. I still wound up in the red in all the wrong categories, but I decided not to stress about it. I'll get back to healthier choices today.
Have a great day, everyone!

- registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
- will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
