    Under 2k✅
    10-12 glasses of water✅
    Log all food✅
    No food after 8💩
    20-30 min treadmill✅
    No beer✅
    Yesterday went ok… still battle with night time snacking. It’s weird… I’m NOT hungry but the urge … as I think about it now even it seems so clear. There’s gotta be some hormonal or something physiological driving it.. or I guess behavioral? I do know boredom and that transition from busy or active day to lounging w/ the fam prior to bed is always when I battle this. Added a protein shake to night time regimen. Blend it with a lot of ice so it’s kinda like a almost ok tasting ice cream. I do this to slow me down from finishing it. Idk… hitting a little frustration point because I had been dropping weight like a anchor but hit the inevitable plateau. As I’ve made this journey so many times in the past I know this is kinda like a phase where the body is changing composition… then all of the sudden the weight starts to drop again. It has to as long as im in caloric deficit but it’s hard to not get frustrated and not wanna throw in the towel
    Plan for today
    Get thru work
    Less than 2000 calories
    No food after 9… (who am I kidding about the after 8 goal anyway)
    10-12 glasses of water
    No beer
    20-30 min treadmill
    Log all food

Progress: Regressive behavior is now minimal. What do I do about the fact that I WANT her to sleep in her room and she doesn't seem to care? Trying to reflect on progress but it's hard when there's so far to go. What do I do about the fact that nothing really seems fun? "Having fun" is something of a chore.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared."

    WFTY: Priorities. Yesterday was a REALLY good day; the best I've had in I don't know how long. Here's hoping today continues the pattern!

    Yesterday wasn't bad. Wasn't great either. My eating was not on point, but I wasn't excessive. Pup let me sleep until 4:30 this morning and then snuggled up and we slept until 7:30, with no accidents. Still couldn't get her to poo this morning, so V may have kennel clean up when she wakes up. The early mornings are really starting to wear on me so I was thankful for the little extra sleep I got last night.

    Tonight I need to work on the props I'm making for the HS production of Beauty and the Beast. The magic mirror is in progress, just needs painted, but Gaston's Blunder Buster isn't even started.

    Tomorrow we were supposed to go to a crew race and introduce Sierra to Gia after, but now it looks like they ma y cancel the races do to rough waters from the storms. I told Sierra that she could come home or we could drive to see her. Either way I should get to see my girl this weekend.

    @littleblackskirt "Room of Doom" made me giggle. I'm working on one of those right now myself. I feel your pain!

    @teigansdad Nighttime snacking is one of the hardest things to give up! I find myself grabbing stuff when I'm not hungry also. And it's never an apple or carrot that I'm hungry for, of course...cookies or chips! If you find the magical cure for this, please share....

    @pamperedlinny Drinks over Books sounds like such a fun thing to attend! You look so cute in that photo. I love your outfit. I love hats but they don't look good on me.

    @cschmitz110515 Isn't it wonderful to see the birds returning?! My husband and I have been noticing the same. He finally put the birdfeeder out this year and I'm so happy to have birds in the yard again. He hasn't put it out for the past few years because of his worry that it might attract rats. I've missed it!

    @clicketykeys So glad you you finally had a really nice day! I hope it continues into the weekend for you!

    @pridesabtch Glad you got some sleep and that you get to see Sierra this weekend!

    Just for Thursday
    • 24H Plan & Assess :)Done
    • Water 64 oz by 7 pm :(Really dropping the ball on my water intake this week. Not sure why but need to step it up. Fingers are getting puffy.
    • WFPB meals :)
    • Get out of the house. Do something...anything. Get outside! :)Car wash. Thrift store bumming...found a really cute spring jacket and two new tops. Felt so good to get out and about!
    • To-Do's & Ta-Da's :)Laundry. Bathroom counters.
    • Close Activity Rings :)
    • 30 minutes in sewing room :)Worked on table runner blocks.
    • Start Day #1 of Sewing Room Declutter with "Just Get It Done" :) Done! 15 min throw away all garbage (receipts, packaging, boxes, anything I don't need that goes in the garbage.) 15 min clearing and wiping down my sewing machine table.
    • Intentional form of Self Care for 30 minutes :) Spent time reading from "Battlefield of the Mind" and on Pinterest looking at WFPB recipes and quilt tutorials.
    • Bedtime Routine: Begin getting ready 30 minutes before. Read for 1 hour before lights out. :(Went to bed late because I went down the rabbit hole of watching quilting videos before bed.

    Hey all, I hope you're all having a great Friday! Yesterday actually felt like spring to me, and I could even tell a difference in my overall mood. I felt happy, happy, happy! I went bumming and found a spring jacket. I haven't wanted to buy new clothes for the past few years because "Im not going to stay this size." So I wear what I have or go without. Yesterday, I decided it's silly to make myself go without until I lose weight--especially since it might not happen for a long time! I deserve to feel comfortable in my clothing at any size. Period. So, I decided to start thrift store shopping for a few items here and there as I need them and that will keep the cost down while I can still feel good about myself. Since I'm retired, I have all the time in the world to randomly hit the different stores. It was actually a lot of fun. I enjoyed browsing all the knick knacks, as well as the household gadgets, while I was there.

    Unfortunately, I tripped over my own damn feet in our driveway when I got home and took a pretty good digger. I'm feeling it in my shoulder and back today. Must be from trying to catch myself. I didn't notice it much at the time. At the time, the thing that bothered me the most was that I shouted some pretty colorful language as I hit the ground and I was so embarrassed that the neighbors may have heard and/or saw me! Good Lord, I felt like a buffoon!

    Hope y'all have a wonderful day! :flowerforyou:

    @pamperedlinny great photo!

    @PackerFanInGB Sorry those feet tripped you up! I feel your pain, been there, done that. The worst part is wondering who was watching lol. Hope you feel better soon.

    JFT Friday 24th

    Eat 3 sensible meals no
    Only one snack none
    Hairdressers yes
    Pack for Saturday yes
    Half an hour in "the room of doom" no

    I'm reporting in now as I won't have time tomorrow morning. My day didn't go as planned, breakfast was good, and no snacks. My sister-in-law phoned me unexpectedly at lunch time to say she was in town and we agreed to meet at the cafe in a sports centre. Got to catch up whenever possible! However...the cafe didn't have soup or sandwiches on today, they were doing chips for the schoolkids. So we ended up with coffee and cake. It was nice, but I didn't feel too good after it, much too sweet. So just had a sandwich for evening meal. No veg in sight again.

    I got home to phone calls telling me my email wasn't working (I need it for my business). It took nearly 3 hours to get it sorted, so nothing happened in the Room of Doom. There's always next week, sigh...

    Hope you all have a great weekend. I'm going to be relaxed about food, but keep it sensible.

    Why are kids so difficult and really like to put the pressure on?!
    Sorry I realise this is totally off topic but most of you have already been through the whole parenting thing and got the t-shirt but Christ, it's just occured to me that to be a good parent, I sometimes have to be the A*hole.

    So Saskia, the eldest at 9, has been asking for a while but is now more persistent and serious about it, but she wants social media basically. She wants TikTok AND Snapchat. Because "all her friends use it".

    My concerns, obviously, internet safety and inappropriate content. I honestly believe she's too young. But it's hard to keep up with the generation and what's annoying is I don't want her to be picked on/left out because she's not allowed to have it. And what blew my mind more was why didn't other parents have the same concern as me?
    (Oh and not ALL her friends have it, just some. I remember that trick)

    I mean I remember the internet when I was a teen, older than sask now. It was much less regulated back then but some of the stuff I've seen. It's weird to grow up and realise the internet can actually also be dangerous.

    She almost convinced me, I was gonna atleast check the apps and see what restrictions could be put in place. But I gave it a quick Google and realised I was right all along. She's too young.

    So I suppose the reason for my post is do you agree with me? Or what's your opinion?
    At what point do I let her have it, because as much as the Google says "this app is 13+" or whatever. We've ALL done things before the legal age. We've all watched a 15 Rated.movie when we were like 12, under age drinking, smoking etc. Most of us have done something like that.

    I just don't want to feel like I'm holding her back from things that alot of her generation seem to be doing, even though I'm doing it for good reason. And I don't want her to end up hating me for it further down the line

    So my question is, where do you draw the line? Is it just based on what you think of your own kid and what you think they're able to handle and be responsible about?

    JFT 03/24:
    • Vitamins X
    • 30 minutes of cardio X
    • 64 oz of water
    • Pay bills
    • Buy groceries X
    • Shower X
    • Clean fish tank X
    • Log all food X
    • Put laundry away X


    Yesterday really got derailed. Just a bad day overall between my knee hurting after I tried cardio on Wednesday, dinner being late because I forgot to take the meat out of the freezer, missing my cat who I lost in December, and the game I wanted to play to unwind with my s.o. refusing to work, and having crazy wait times because of the high number of people trying to play it during their free beta weekend...

    I'm going to try being gentle on myself today, as I'm already under a lot of stress

    Spent yesterday at Mom's. We enjoyed the time reminiscing and having a quiet dinner. Still, no opportunity to exercise or get stuff done at home. Otherwise I did pretty well with logging, hydrating, and making healthy choices.

    Today I'm off to cheer on my son's robotic's team. After about 10 years in industry, he's in his first year in his new job, teaching robotics and physics at an all-boys high school and coaching their robotics team. It's an interesting career change, but he seems to enjoy it, and it's good to have him close enough to see on weekends. Then my daughter's boys are coming for a sleepover. We have some activities planned for Sunday, so it'll be a busy weekend. I will, however, try to mage good food choices and maybe get in a bit of exercise.

    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Just for Friday
    • 24H Plan & Assess :)Done
    • Water 64 oz by 7 pm :( Seem to be 16 oz shy every single day. Need to work on this.
    • Get out of the house. Do something...anything. Get outside! :smile: Yes! Husband and I took a drive to Door County yesterday and walked our dog along the bay. Geese and mallards making nests. So nice to see the birds come back up north!
    • To-Do's & Ta-Da's: Fold & put away laundry. Floors. Dust. :) Only laundry got done, but I'm okay with that since we went for a drive instead.
    • Close Activity Rings :( I just didn't bother to get the last 17 calories to count on my watch before I went to bed. Lazy, lazy, lazy...
    • 30 minutes in sewing room :( Nope. Took a drive, so I'm good with it!
    • Day #2 of Sewing Room Declutter with "Just Get It Done" :( Again, nope!
    • Intentional Self Care for 30 minutes :) Read for a bit. Listened to podcasts.
    • Bedtime Routine: Begin getting ready 30 minutes before. Read for 1 hour before lights out. :)

    Happy Saturday JFTers! Well, it would be a happy Saturday if I hadn't woken up to OVER A FOOT OF FREAKIN' SNOW! I am SO OVER WINTER! There. If I type in all CAPS, maybe Mother Nature will know I'm serious and listen up. :wink: Yesterday my husband and I drove up by Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan and took our dog for a walk along the water and today we have snow coming down at a rate of 3 inches per hour. I've decided it is a good day to bake and make a big pot of soup, so that's my plan.
    I'm going to spend time sewing, baking and cooking and remind myself it's temporary. It's going to be in the 40's all week so hopefully the snow will melt by next weekend. Fingers crossed!

    Photo of our deck in back…yesterday there was no snow at all. This just happened in 3 hours’ time!

    @Bex953172 I'm so old that the internet wasn't even a thing when my kids were young. Email became a thing when mine were around 15 or 16. So, I'm not much help. I know my kids have told my grandkids "no" to social media until I think around 13? Even then, they didn't want to let them, but the sneaky little buggers found ways to create accounts behind their backs which they eventually found out about. My son's youngest, Tyler, is 9 years old and he is not allowed to have it. I think there is an app for Messenger for Kids that he is set up on so he can do facetime-type calls to his parents, aunts & uncles and me & his other grandma, but that is it. It's just my opinion, but 9 seems so young to go down that rabbit hole, especially for young girls who are so impressionable. I've noticed such a huge difference in the generations since social media became a thing. BUT you have to do what you feel is best for your girls, and you know them better than anyone else! And yes, being a parent DOES mean that sometimes you have to be the A*Hole! LOL Otherwise, you'd be just another friend... ;) Good luck with this. I'm so glad I'm not raising young ones anymore! LOL It's much easier being Grandma... :heart:
