I forgot to put my salad on my list, but I also have it on my phone calendar, so it got done. Yay! The recipe is 1/4 cucumber, 1/4 green pepper plus a handful of baby spinach. I use skinny girl poppyseed dressing, very low cal, then add an oz of goat cheese at 70 calories. My ex used to say the only recipe I knew was "three minutes on high," but nowadays I'm branching out!
Then my mom opened a bag of potato chips. I resisted! Yay! So it looks like I have about 900 extra calories to spend tomorrow at lunch. I'm thinking about a salmon fillet with barbecue sauce. On a bun with french fries! And maybe an onion ring. But I better weigh-in before I go.

JFT Wednesday 18th May
Stay under maintenance yes
Only one snack yes
Walk (with friend, so I will do it) 50 minutes
Finish work ironing yes
I also managed to do some weeding and planted some seeds, better late than never. Spinach and lettuce as well as some flowers. I wanted to do some more gardening in the evening, but my neighbour phoned me to tell me to close my doors, there was a huge swarm of angry wasps in a neighbour's garden. Almost everyone in the street were looking out at them. So too scary to go outside. I wish I knew where they went when they dispersed, I'm allergic to wasp stings.
Today I 'm going to take it easy with not too much bending, as I'm aching after yesterday. I need to go out, might make myself go to the garden centre as well.
JFT Thursday 19th May
Stay under maintenance

Happy Wednesday y'all!
Sierra made it home safely yesterday and we talked for hours. It was really nice hearing about her year, except that she told me she went through a severe depressive episode. She did finally reach out for help, thank goodness. She lost 25 pounds in 1 month, she only weighs 115 on a good day. It broke my heart, but I stayed upbeat and encouraged her to continue seeing her therapist over the summer. I didn't want her to see my pain. It really is one of my biggest fears. My problems got worse when I went to college and I really don't want that for her. I blame myself in a way because my family has such a strong history of mental illness. I wasn't diagnosed until after I had kids, and though my mom and grandmother were both nuts, nothing was ever said or diagnosed. I often wonder if I would have still had kids if I'd known I was such a mess. I just love my girls so much I don't want them to have to live through what I have. Hopefully, now that both are in therapy at a relatively young age, things won't get as out of hand as they did with me. I didn't share this with my hubby, because I just don't know how or if she wants me to. It will break him in two. She is daddy's little girl.
As for the rest of the day, it was pretty great. V was really happy with her birthday gifts, dinner and brownies.
Today, I'm just doing the work thing and then going home and doing the mom thing. Don't feel like making goals for today...

Awh I'm sorry you feel that your history of mental health is being passed on through your children. Maybe it has but it doesn't make it your fault.
The resources and understanding of mental health is much more recognised than it used to be. And although it's hard for us parents I'm sure they will make it through it and be strong with the right support, which it sounds like they have. And with you having been through it yourself atleast you have a very good understanding too and know what they need to help them. I've always admired the stories you tell us about your kids. They sound amazing and you should give yourself credit for the wonderful girls you've raised despite you're own struggles Xx
I really need to get Marley booked in for an ADHD assessment because more and more things are becoming recognisable.
I just need to get off by fat butt and get her registered at the Dr. (Somehow they missed her application when I got everyone else joined up)4 -

After the races I went an bought some new plant stands for outside then went to the local farm/greenhouse and bought some baskets of flowers for outside. Once Tim and I finished that, we went for a bike ride. That pretty well sums up the weekend, food was iffy, but the weekend was good.
Today I have to audit ALLLLLL day long. It's lunch time now. I grabbed a healthy bag of Cheez-its (lol) and thought I'd check in. After work if it stops raining I may do some yard work if it is raining maybe I'll clean the floors downstairs (that was on hubby's weekend list, but he wasn't feeling great).
How cool is that???!! You must feel so proud!
I had to laugh at your Cheez-Its comment because they have been taunting me and winning for about a month now! They magically jump into my grocery cart and sometimes at night they jump into baggies and wind up in my hand while I'm reading at bedtime. Sneaky little suckers....

Oh, and I got my medicine yesterday! I feel like a bit of a survivor! Feeling better already, should be a lot more energetic in 3 or 4 days.

@azulvioleta6 yay for getting your meds!
I had a lovely lunch. Turns out the salmon burger had more calories than MFP listed, so I had a mushroom burger without cheese, but with bun and barbecue sauce and, of course, fries. I logged my best guess, and I'm less than a hundred over limit for today, including a yogurt for dinner! Not bad!5 -

@littleblackskirt I also overdid the gardening today. Thighs, abs, and butt are screaming.
@pridesabtch Sierra’s difficulties aren’t your your fault. These things weren’t known about as much as they are today. And you are a great mum to those girls.

From what I know about you.. you are one of the best moms. Don't ever blame yourself for your daughters mental illness. I do not have mental illness, yet my daughter has schizoaffective bipolar. For years I blamed myself for causing this. I thought it was something that I did in parenting her, until I realized so many others in my family suffered from the same mental illness. It was in the genes .. there was nothing I could do to stop her from having this. Like you, I thought if I had known all this I would not have had children. But like you, I love my kids so much, and I would not trade that for anything.
This is something that is no one's fault. Mental illness is so hard to explain, and so many have it. You should be very very proud of your daughter for getting the help that she needs, seeing a therapist. She is a beautiful girl.. she has a beautiful caring mother. Hugs to you! With your support, I know she will be OK.4 -
I've not been on here posting goals, nor even reading for awhile. But .. I am watching my food intake, and I'm hoping the scale will show a loss tomorrow.
we have been very busy.. just been away from my computer for awhile on purpose. I think sometimes I just needed a break!
Love you .. will post goals tomorrow!
But I have been doing OK on my exercise challenge2
