Happy Saturday!
College tour went really well. Even Tim was impressed with their fashion program. Let’s just say he is not thrilled with her choice of career paths. But I think if she really loves it, she will succeed. They have a great requirement where they must study abroad w with opportunities in Italy and New York. Other places two, but these are the most popular.
Today is my moms birthday. So I’ll go do some birthday type things for her.
Otherwise feeling a bit under the weather, so no plans. V is actually sick, going to pick up a Covid test for her while I’m out. Sierra is at college and has Covid. What are the odds???

Hi all, I am new to this thread:
For today: at least 2-3 servings of fruits and vegetables and half hour of cardio.
Why? I will feel better and work better3 -
@more_freggies76 - Oh, how I love France! Enjoy every minute!
@cschmitz110515 - Ah, the not-so-wonderful flipside of property appreciation
Glad it won't derail your retirement plans.
@pridesabtch - Sorry to heat your girls are sick. Hope they recover quickly. But I'm glad to hear the college visit went well. I loved visiting colleges with my kids. It was such a nice opportunity to focus on each one's individual interests and spend some quality time together during the frenetic activity of senior year. What aspect of fashion is your daughter interested in?

V's Covid test was negative, guess she's just normal sick. Did a few things for mom yesterday since it was her birthday, cleaned around the house a bit, but generally didn't do much of anything.
V is still not feeling well so she didn't go to school today. Not much I can do for her so I came in to work, but wishing I'd just worked from home. It isn't that I don't have things to do, but they are migrating the document system so my document work is on hold for now. Not 100% sure what I'm going to do today to be honest.
Weight was up a tick this morning, but I've mostly been holding steady for the last week and a half. Just minor fluctuations. I have been rather lax on my eating lately, deciding to go off plan last Thursday pretty much countered any loss I should have seen. That's ok, I'm still on the right path. I also plan to go off plan this weekend for a class reunion, but again it's a choice I made a while back and will not feel guilt over. The change isn't a lifestyle change if you can't still live life in a way that is fulfilling to you. And quite frankly, I need evenings where I can just be with friends and let loose a bit and not worry about how many carbs & calories I'm consuming. Realistically, I'm not going to eat 3500 extra calories in a day, so even though I may maintain rather than lose, I won't make an appreciable gain in a day and a half. Even after last Thursday, once the immediate bloat was gone I was still down a tad. What I really need to do is start working more activity into my days. Nothing hard core like in the past, but just more activity. The desk job is killing me. Time to get my *kitten* to the gym or at least start walking when it's nice outside instead of laying on the couch.
So for the reunion I bought multiple dresses, my favorite I bought from Thredup for $6.35 including shipping. I'm a little concerned it's too young for me. I returned a couple of dresses and I have one other that is a simple black dress I'm getting altered to it hits above the knee as it should (I'm short so it was too long, go figure. Which do you like better?
Now to goals...

V is looking to do sustainable design, using/reusing green materials to create an affordable product line.
She seems much more excited about this than she did about geneticist, though dad was really hoping for a STEM career. I just want her to be happy AND be able to someday buy a house and live comfortably.
At Kent State Fashion majors are required to have a minor, and they have a sustainability minor through the architecture college. Seems like a great fit!
Now hubby is planning a trip to NY so she can tour NYU & Marris hitting Thomas Jefferson in Philly along the way. I haven't told him yet, but I'm going to have him also take her to a Broadway show since they are there. He anxious enough about the trip right now without that. Looks like the 2 of them will go without me just because of timing and work. I'm a little bummed, but really want them to bond a bit.4 -
@pridesabtch - both dresses would look great, but I prefer the 2nd one.2

Today’s WHY? Feeling a little blue this morning but knowing a binge will not fix it.2

@pridesabtch - both dresses would look great, but I prefer the 2nd one.
I agree! Deffo the second!!2 -
@pridesabtch I like both dresses, but #2 seems more fun.

Thanks for the reassurance y'all! I love the second one, but wasn't sure that I wasn't too old to wear it...2
-
Happy Monday!
@pridesabtch I like them both! The second one is fun and cute! The first one I'll bet is really pretty and flattering with the way it lays. You will look great in either one!
We have been so busy lately with grandkids' sports and we also took a trip up to my dad's lake home in Minnesota. I'm really beginning to enjoy being retired and not feeling the sadness, grief or guilt of losing my job in 2020. Took me long enough, huh? I've been quilting a lot too. I'm going to begin making lap quilts for my 3 kids incorporating blocks made using cut up blue jeans that belonged to their father, who passed away of a massive heart attack a few years ago. I think they will like...at least I hope so. I thought I'd sew a couple of the back pockets in strategic places where they could tuck tissue, reading glasses, tv remote, etc. We had been divorced for 30 years when he passed, but we had a life together and I thought it might be a nice surprise for our kids. So, I'll be finding fabrics to start that this week. Tonight is a granddaughter H's volleyball game. Thursday is another VB game and Friday night is grandson M's high school football. So fun!
I'm watching Queen Elizabeth II"s funeral right now and I feel such sadness for everyone. She was a wise, classy and extraordinary woman, and this was incredibly touching. ((HUGS to my friends grieving her loss))
Just for Monday- 24H Plan & Assess
- 64 oz water (fill 2 Qt glass pitcher and place on counter with sliced limes and lemons next to it)
- Wait for hunger. Do not eat out of boredom, stress or habit. No grab-assing!
- Stop at enough. Do you really need seconds? Are you still hungry or do you just 'want' it?
- Close activity rings on Apple watch.
- Finish quilt top by sewing quadrants together and adding borders.
- Walmart Rx and groceries
- Volleyball game
- Journal everything I eat and close diary at end of day
- Evening Routine
WOTY 2022: Intentional I will be intentional in my choices to reach my goals!1 -
JFt, Monday
1. log all my food. I am trying to concentrate on more protein, but unless I log it I don't know.
2. concentrate on water. Yesterday I went on a 5 mile walk .. came home and had a gatorade and diet ginger ale. No water. What is wrong with me ... I need water. I was so exhausted around 8:30 .. spent all nite just on my butt watching tv. Then I realized, the entire day, I think I drank not even a cup of water. This has always been a problem for me. SO ... out comes that red cup!!
3. work on little bears .. trying to use up all my fleece scraps
4. powerwash the rugs outside .. unless its too hot. Forecast for today near 100 with high humidity
5. go for a walk tonite .. didn't get to gym this morning
Oh .. and my why: To have more energy, to get my AIC down, to generally learn to have a better relationship with food. (Love this whoever started it!!)3 -
@pridesabtch -- I love both dresses! You are going to look fantastic in either one!
@PackerFanInGB -- your kids are going to love the quilts made from their fathers jeans. It will be their most treasured gift .. what a wonderful thing to do. So happy you are enjoying retirement!
@cschmitz .. I know what you mean about everything going up in prices! Our property tax is now pushing close to $5000 a year .. used to be 2500. But I am glad you are still planning on your retirement in a month!! YAH!!!! Life is short .... so enjoy!2
