@Bex953172 thanks! I think my muffin top was built with candy and cookies!
@littleblackskirt have you talked to a doctor about feeling so tired? Some treatable reasons that come to mind could be thyroid, depression, or misuse of caffeine, poor sleep, too much sugar/junk food, poor self dialog. There's lots more.
If you hurt your ankle, you would dial back expectations. You can do the same for tiredness. Try to keep your goals reasonable, and go after the root of the problem. You can do this! You deserve to enjoy your life.

@PackerFanInGB Beautiful quilt!
@more_freggies76 Hope your doggo is better!
@littleblackskirt Sorry you are feeling so tired. But I'm not surprised, you've had lots to deal with in the past months, very emotional times. (((hugs)))
@azulvioleta6 Glad you have insight into your dietary needs to make up for missing meds. (((hug)))
@beachwalker99 I missed the eclipse, too cloudy at start, and I just couldn't stay awake for the clouds to eventually clear. I wished it wasn't a "work night".
@TerriRichardson112 You continue to inspire me! I love your Done Log.
@Snowflake1968 Glad to see you still hanging in & posting JFT.

@azulvioleta6 yay! Glad you are getting your meds!
I found a frozen bowl called "unwrapped egg roll" by evol. Still more calories than I wanted but also more protein. I'm surprised they used Brussels sprouts instead of cabbage. So I have that in the freezer for a veggie treat. I also got some lower calorie ice cream for Sunday dinner. Yay! It was a good grocery run.
Next is a nap then I will at least make a stab at changing my tax withholding.

Hour commitment - After I finish my sweet potato, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. Can still have my metamusal. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch.1

I'm having trouble with the paperwork I wanted to get done today. The lesson is that my goals ought to be about things I can do myself, not so much things that require the cooperation of a bureaucracy. I'm trying to be glad I started, but I'm really frustrated with the customer service phone queue. Oh well.
I got something else on my list done - scheduling the dermatologist. I should have done that years ago.
And it looks like a good day for diet and exercise!

I'm somewhat back on track today, logging my food and trying to cut back on the snacks. It's amazing how quickly good habits can unravel.
I got my 4th jab (second Covid booster), this afternoon, so we'll see how energetic I'm feeling tomorrow. I usually get a day or so of side effects, so tomorrow might be a good day to skip the exercise. I got a good walk in this morning, and I've been on my feet teaching and doing errands most of the day. I picked up some begonias for my front porch pots - one of the very few flowering plants that are both deer-resistant and good for partial shade. Hopefully I can get them in the pots tomorrow.
These were my goals this morning...
JFT Tuesday, 5/17

Had a good day not had the healthiest of foods at all. Greggs for lunch and dinner. But only came to around 1200 cals, 1500 is my limit!
Also got 8 waters in today and didn't pee myself to death π π
Really need the bank to sort out a false transaction and refund me! It's my shopping money!! Foods getting low, it's a very very tight month and right now I have 70p to my name. Ringing them tomorrow again if it doesn't hit my account overnight! π€π€π€3 -

@littleblackskirt - Iβve been struggling like you for a couple of years. Iβve found making my goals simpler and showing myself some grace has really helped.
@cschmitz110515 - I donβt know why Iβm having such a hard time getting my comments in here. I think because I do it later In the evening when Iβm ready to account for my goals that Iβm tired and donβt feel like typing. I do read everyday though.
@azulvioleta6 - happy to read your team is all on the same page, hope you get your meds soon.
@Bex953172 - I hope you get the bank straightened out fast!
@Anniesquats100 - youβre doing amazing. Enjoy you burger and fries tomorrow.
Last night and tonight for the first time since 2019 I was able to walk 1km each night.
I wonβt be walking tomorrow night because Iβm going to Kaitlynβs to watch tonightβs episode of This is Us. She lives an hour and 15 minutes from us and it will cost me for gas, but it will be so worth it. Iβm doing it next Wednesday too!

It's just after lunchtime and I've done almost nothing so far. Every night I think about what I'm going to accomplish the next day, but come the next day I only do the urgent stuff. Today I'd planned to drive into town and get a few plants at the garden centre, then take some lunch down to the beach. Even when it's still cold I can eat in the car. But I just didn't go. I don't know how to get some enthusiasm back, I'm so tired all the time.

Was super busy yesterday, and though I got on and read, I didn't post goals. All in all it was a relatively low cal day with a bike ride. The ride was good, we had a few drinks after. The guys started talking about how fast I used to be to a new guy. It was kind of embarrassing and made me feel bad for being where I am now, but they meant well. I started with the slower group and then caught onto the tail end of the moderate group. It felt good to go faster, then at the turn around I rode back with a new rider that I met last week. She's nice and I hope she continues to ride. If she gets a new bike she will be crazy fast.
Work today is audit prep for my area, and finishing up audit report for the audit I performed Monday.
Other than that I'm taking a half day.
Today is a family day. Sierra is coming home from school today and it's V's birthday. She is 17 now. Hard to believe my baby girl is so grown up. Stir fry for dinner tonight and brownies for dessert. Maybe I'll try to ride the Peleton to get a few extra calories as it is supposed to rain this evening.
JFT Wednesday
- Up at 6:30 up but didn't move until closer to 7:30
- Weigh
- Work by 8:00 8:10, pretty close
