Hi, all my JFTers! Back from my vacation week and no MFP. I missed 5 pages of JFT, which I'll have to read later. Hope everyone is well. For now, posting daily goals again...
JFT 8/29 M ~ Very warm & humid (glass covered in moisture on outside windows due to AC on in house) so no dog walk before returning to work. Sad dog & sad me.

2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
3) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water

- Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine
happy me - Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
- Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
- will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me)
- watch for other events to add
- maybe Jingle Bell 5K in person this year? need to watch for
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done2 -

Have a blessed day y’all!
Yesterday was a bit of a cluster, I decided to sleep in and miss Sunday School, but attend church. Got up showered, put on a dress I couldn't wear 3 months ago and it fit perfectly (YAY!), went out to go to church and my battery was DEAD... Change of plans. Hubby came home, jumped car, we got a new battery then he said I looked pretty so he took me out to lunch. Came home, decided to nap before I mowed because it was hot outside. Then I got up and decided I didn't want to mow. I called a neighbor kid who handed out flyers last week and paid them to mow. I looked out later and one of my adult neighbors was helping her because my yard is a *kitten* to mow. She got the front done and will finish the back today (only 1/3 left to mow). I kind of feel bad for her, it really is tough. Her flyer said $10, I told her I'd pay $10/hour.
So basically, I did nothing yesterday other than shower and try to look nice.
Had a hard time getting out of bed this morning, but I did eventually make it to work. I brushed my teeth, but hair and makeup are left over from yesterday. Yep low, low maintenance some days. Gotta do laundry stuff this evening.

Ummm… yeah… only yoga happened today out of this list of goals. Work was kind of a train wreck in the afternoon and I only got about four hours of sleep last night so didn’t feel like cooking or writing or looking for a new job. Off to bed with me so I can wake up early tomorrow and do it all over again (only hopefully better).
All the same goals for tomorrow (too lazy to type them out)

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was pretty quiet. We went to Art Street on Saturday but we didn't get through all the booths because it began to rain. I was pretty happy my husband and I brought umbrellas with us! LOL So many cool things. I always wish I had lots of $$ when I go. So many talented artists from all areas of the art world.
Sunday and Monday I woke up with some muscle aching so pretty much just took care of myself by not pushing it. Today is better. I think maybe the weather changes trigger the fibromyalgia? I know it triggers arthritis, so maybe it's kind of the same? Perhaps I need to move to Arizona where it's a dry heat! LOL Of course, I'd have to leave my husband and kids behind so that's not likely to happen!
I did lose 1 lb last week. I wasn't following my planned foods exactly, but I was paying attention to whether I was actually hungry or whether I was giving into urges due to boredom. I have really been trying to be cognizant of when I eat...whether I'm actually hungry and feeding my body, or whether I am eating for entertainment or emotions. I will never lose weight if I eat for entertainment!
@Bex953172 I am SO sorry to hear about your MIL's progression. I remember when you told me it had returned. I will keep her in my prayers. (((BEX)))

Didn’t get much done yesterday other than work. Didn’t feel great, still don’t. Mostly just exhausted. All day audits today & tomorrow are not helping. I think I may have missed my meds this morning, that always makes me feel drained.
No new goals, don’t feel like typing them.3 -
