Happy Hump Day! I felt like I got a lot done yesterday, but now that I go back and look at my plan versus what I actually did, I guess I spent most of my day sewing either at my mom's or here! Now I need to move some of my to-do's for yesterday to to-do's today. I'm dragging *kitten* today though, and I'm not sure why. I got plenty of sleep but my muscles and joints feel sore today. Dreading taking Maddie for a walk today, but I know once we go out the door, I'll enjoy it! It's just taking that first step. Putting on my walking shoes...her enthusiasm when she sees me do that will push me to do the rest!

I seem to be stalled, losing and gaining the same 3 or 4 pounds. I need to really buckle down on my water and eat more in the middle of the day versus dinner. I'm usually not very hungry until about 4pm. Then I might as well put on a feed bag! The worst time of day to do that, I know. So, this week my focus is on drinking enough water every day and eating more filling meals at lunch, maybe more protein?

@mytime6630 I'm sorry to hear the results were not what you were hoping. I am praying for you and your husband. I think lying quietly together was probably exactly what you both needed. I hope your daughter makes a call to her doctor. I will add her to my prayers also. I have to tell you, I smile when you refer to your ugly quilt...the one I'm working on right now turned ugly to me yesterday too...I don't even want to work on it today. UGH. I no longer like the colors I picked. It'll be fine for throwing on the back of the couch or something though. It's not horrible...just not what I envisioned.

@pridesabtch Sounds to me like your body needed you to rest! Good for you for listening to it!

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow.

Goals for 8/25
- minimum 1400 calories
- Yoga
- Minimum 32 oz of water
- Work on writing business after day job is done
- Look for a new day job!

I realize the last two have nothing to do with physical health but they will help my mental health, and I’m trying to put a bigger priority on that part of things.

Hope everyone has a good day!

JFT: Wednesday RECAP
1. Create 24H Plan and assess yesterday's.
2. Drink 64+ oz of water before 7 PM
3. Walk Maddie
4. Eat 1 lb fresh produce Baked potato and big @$$ salad for dinner.
5. Close Activity Rings on Apple watch
6. Home Care: Mop. Vacuum. Dust. Water flowers, berry bushes and tomato plants. Backyard cleanup.
7. Self Care: Read reflections. Gratitude journal. Simple Abundance. Pick one thing on Joy list and do it!
8. Aldi's run for produce. Move this to Thursday!
9. Declutter 15 minutes. Digital Declutter 15 minutes.
10. Evening Routine: Clean kitchen and CLOSE kitchen. Coffeemaker set-up. Cars/garage. Meds. Face and teeth. Readings. YouTube quilting videos or read until lights out. Set alarm for morning. Got hungry late last night and ended up putting Cheezits in a baggie and eating them in bed while I watched YouTube quilting videos on my iPad. UGH! I know it is the late night snacking that has me stalled. I need to close the kitchen and then have my husband barricade it!

Good morning JFTers! It's Friday Eve! I had a pretty productive day yesterday so that made me happy. My husband took a handyman job for the plant my son, B, manages. It's extra money for his hunting and woodworking hobbies. After being together all day every day for 2 years now, it's actually felt kind of nice to have the house to myself for a day here and there. I think he likes getting out and about too. Perfect gig for him, if he wants one.

It's a little cooler here today with showers, but the humidity is still high. I actually like a bit cooler temps but the humidity does me in...hot flashes on top of hot flashes. TMI? 😁😎

Yesterday I brought my spare sewing machine upstairs and set it up on the dining room table but Tim got home before I had a chance to use it. It's a new one I got about a year ago and I'm not familiar with the functions on it because it's wayyyyyyyy different from the old one I have downstairs, so my goal today is to play with that. I did most of the housework yesterday so I think I can take some time to play today. I'm going to try making some hearts, like @mytime6630 was talking about, to hang in random places to be found. I think that sounds like an easy no-stress thing to learn a new machine making.

Have a great day everyone! 🤗☕
