    Hmm. I still need to clean my desk at least a little bit. I did other things like laundry regular and delicate, and empty the trash, and put away my winter shoes. I just don't want to face my paper piles.

    Log all Food
    10 mins exercise
    Log into JFT

    @beachwalker99 - I love when I get one on one time with one of the grandchildren. Sunday I am going with my eldest and her children to see an “adopted” daughter her newborn and her son that is my Grandsons age. We are meeting at my youngest daughters. The adopted daughter is her best friend.

    @Anniesquats100 - my Dad and DH used to say that I only cooked if it came from a box. It’s not that I couldn’t/can’t cook. It’s that I really dislike it.

    You did great storing calories this week.

    @pridesabtch - @Bex953172 said everything I was thinking about Sierra. My niece suffered with depression terribly through her first year of university this past year too. Like Sierra she knew to reach out. I think it’s much easier for people to reach out now than it used to be. I don’t know about in the States here the only problem is the cost and lack of therapists are hard to come by in some areas.

    Wednesday night I got home too late from my This is Us date to post and last night I had ceramics and didn’t. I have been keeping my goals in my head even in the days I don’t post and I think that helps.

    I am not back to work until Tuesday and have plans right through until Monday. I’m looking forward to them.

    Tomorrow am meeting a former supervisor and a coworker for lunch.

    Sunday I am going with my eldest daughter and grandson to my youngest daughters. We are meeting YD’s best friend and her children. Her son and my grandson are the same age. She has a newborn that is 6 weeks.

    Well, I couldn't stay away from the scale, and it's up three pounds! Most of that should rinse away.

    Yes definitely, don't be discouraged!! You've been doing great and that will show!

    @Bex953172 thanks for the encouragement!

    @Snowflake1968 lol! I don't like daily cooking much either. My parents like their food bland and simple so there's very little creativity involved.

    I did well with diet and exercise today. I was a little hungry, mostly just bored, and I started reading a book instead of eating. Yay!

    My mother said she won't go to her memory evaluation medical appointment. It took me months to get that set up. The appointment is in early July so maybe I can persuade her again. But first I have to get over my anger. Without eating my feelings. One day at a time!

    JFT Sunday
    1. No candy
    2. No cookies
    3. Eat under calorie limit
    4. Day of rest - no exercise
    5. Work on cleaning my room

    Well, I hit my exercise goal this week by working in the garden most of Friday and cleaning and setting up the deck furniture today. My daughter brought the boys over to swim and picked up Mexican takeout on the way. It was a relief not to cook. I got a relatively healthy fajita bowl, ate half for lunch, and saved the rest for dinner. I'm not even going to bother trying to log it.

    The weather's been so odd this Spring. It hit 90 this afternoon and we're expecting the same tomorrow with thunderstorms cooling things down again in the evening. I'm leaving all my grading for tomorrow evening, so hopefully we won't lose power.

    Well I'm beat. Goals in the morning, maybe.

    May challenge
    Goal 1: 30+ min of exercise at least 5 days per week (tracked weekly)
    Week 1: B) 51 :) 30 B) 72 B) 60 B) 35 X Rest day :) 45 -- 6/5
    Week 2: X Rest day :) 70 B) 54 X X B) 40 B) 48 -- 4/5
    Week 3: B) 57 :) 56 B) 69 X X B) 120 B) 60 --5/5
    Goal 2: 24 total hours of exercise for the month
    TTD: 867 min. (14.45 hr.)

    @Anniesquats100 - I am a very simple eater as well your parents and I would probably get along well. 😂
    I have learned with my Mother and others that had memory issues not to discuss anything that’s happening until the day it happens. It helps reduce stress and tension. By the time the appointment day comes just say Mom you have an spoon today let’s get dressed and I’ll take you. Unfortunately it’s getting to the point that you need to be firm for her own good. Just like you would for a child.

    I went out for my lunch today and ate way too much. We sat in Olive Garden for 4 hours. It was a nice day.

    5. Work on cleaning my room no

    Again, doing well on the diet and exercise, not so well on the other chores. It worked out really well to have the new lower calorie faux ice cream for Sunday dinner. That left me enough for a yogurt and some canteloupe later on. Yay!

    As far as my mom's memory evaluation appointment, I'm going to postpone it. That's a middle road between cancelling and forcing the issue.
