My first wedding, when I was 23, I had the big white dress.

Even this is to make our parents happy, but it's much simpler as befits two people who are each on their second marriage and are introverts from a family of introverts and people with disabilities, who don't want to mess around. So we can all come together, be witnesses, and then eat together and get home at a decent hour.

Fell off the wagon and got trampled by the horses last night. BUT I think I know what happened. I am doing some deep cleaning around the apartment and yesterday was a lot of work. Plus I ran (well walked lol) errands. So a lot of activity... and I did not spread out my food well. By the time dinner came around I was famished and I ate all the food after that. Nearly a whole frozen pizza... a bowl of cereal... chocolate... ugh.

Trying to do better today cause I am still cleaning like crazy. Right now all I have on my list left are to do the floors in the living room. I also have the sheets and blankets from the daybed (which I use as a couch) in the laundry downstairs. So will need to remake the daybed when they are finished. Almost done!

Tomorrow is the bedroom including more laundry for the bedsheets. Then Monday is my normal laundry day but that is it.

...What may have helped is having healthier meals at home. Also less cheap snack food and desserts brought into home. As a kid you can pretty much only eat what’s in the pantry or fridge...

I halfway experienced this with my sons. When they were young I was probably too much of a healthy food fanatic. Younger son took it upon himself at a very young age to find his foods of choice out in the world. Chips. Turned out his milk/juice money went to chips. Lots of chips.
His dad and I were going through a divorce - not a nasty one but still not easy on kids - and his "drug of choice" was food. Once he was in school I lost control of what he ate.
Older one has never had any issues with food or weight - except losing too much with his terrible job where he was frequently overheated and dehydrated. But not disordered eating patterns.
Who really knows why/how it all goes wrong on the eating front.

What is this house clean you guys speak off? Y'all get to see your floor? 🤣🤯🙀😹😹😹😹

I've taken to throwing sheets down on my floor... Two dogs and disgusting raw bones everyday as a bribe to keep them happy when I'm not walking them (other than getting them all psyched up letting them out one door to the backyard and calling them in through another.)

They have found a way to entertain themselves a little bit though... Using the two doored room to call each other's bluff 😂

Finished all the cleaning that is gonna get done this weekend. Ended up doing the bedroom today instead of Sunday. I woke up Sunday in pain and with so much fatigue. So it became a very lazy day where I watched a bunch of YouTubes and slept on and off. Got it all done though so that is what matters.

The weekend was also really rough food wise, but I am working to get back to doing better.

Connie you have a lot of things going on your house all the time. I get tired just thinking about your list! Connie personal time suffers as a result! 🤯

I spent too long in a hoarded up house to feel good when things get cluttered and dusty.

Put a chair together today to replace Fiance's desk chair, which broke. And I'm working on the waistband of a pair of underwear, having figured out how I want to fasten them, which affects how I make them.

This weekend was a whirl of activities. Food choices suffered a bit but I was moving a lot more. I was also very conscious of the amount of food I was eating. Scale didn't move so I was happier. I am starting my Hogwarts Challenge this week and so I hope with the daily accountability to earn points and stuff it will help to keep me in check.

I am finding that unstructured time is hard for me this time. I do great all week and then the weekend comes and I want to snack and eat all the peanut butter cups! It doesn't help that my stick thin husband has to have all the sugary snacks and such in order to survive. We are all working to move one day at a time. I am going to rock it this week and see some downward movement on the scale!
