Haven't been on here for awhile .. this time of year I am so busy with yard work.. which I love! I walk a lot. .. and spend a good portion of my day gardening, then sewing quilts in the evenings. I have 4 quilts made for a organization called Heavenly Beds. they make beds for little kids ages 3-17 that do not have a bed to sleep in. So a very good cause!
But not setting goals today.. but just wanted to get on here quick to wish all who celebrate a very happy Easter, Happy passover!
Ha .. my day will be eating green jello all day!! I unknowingly scheduled a colonscopy for monday ... so on sunday, I can only have clear liquids and jello. Ha.. What was I thinking!!! But, this was scheduled 3 months ago.. didn't realize it was day after easter.
So I am making creamed chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans, and baked and decorated a angel food cake. So this way hubby at least has leftovers for tomorrow.. and if our daughter comes out, she can also have leftover, a sweet potato, asparagus, and a piece of cake.
Our 47th wedding anniversary is next sunday .. so I'lll cook the ham and all the stuff I had planned to make then.. so we'll just celebrate easter dinner next week.

Sorry last week went well even though I didn’t have time to post goals in my head they were there and up until Friday was batting 100.
Other good news… Teigan passed her drivers test (:
Now me and the girls are in spring break. We flew out of Charlotte early this am and will be her in St Lucia for rest of the week. That’s were things have gone off kilter a little. Yesterday we ate at Cracker Barrel
Don’t really love that place but options were limited due to our schedule. Made a poor dinner choice and although I had worked out and really needed the protein I don’t think I needed a 1600 calorie dinner.. man the guilt. Didn’t eat anything except a coffee since early this morning then when we got to the resort the first thing they handed us was a rum punch..
All inclusive so we had a snack and then I over did it with a few watered down frozen drinks and also sampled the buffet
I’m stuffed and feel gross but putting it out here tonight so I can start fresh
Tomorrow
Net negative caloric goal
Exercise for at least 30 minutes (thinking treadmill)
Skip the mixed drinks (they give me heart burn anyway) and no beer (will be easy cuz it’s not very good)
Enjoy myself
Forgive myself for last two days

Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow. Can still have my dose of metamusal, lemon tea, and hot cocoa
For tomorrow, none of the galette bretonne. Need to space it out.1 -
Awhh I didn't click save draft!
Anyway my post for today was that I'm gonna practice the word "No."
No to the snacks
No to the zero exercise.
And no to my excuses.
I've lost nearly 5lb that I'm really proud of. I don't want to gain that back or literally wipe out the really hard work I DID do.
It's the Easter holidays. I don't personally have any chocolate eggs. The only chocolate I'm having is when my girls are generous and want to share with us (which is a lot).
But I say no to them alot, that the gifts were for them and they should enjoy them. It's only when they insist like I have no option that I have some.
My routine changes so dramatically from school to school holidays.
But rather than excuses, it should be a challenge!
It's now just become harder to do what I need to do, not impossible. So I should be able to do it and over come the hurdle of managing my time 😂
I mean it's only one more week too then they're back at school but it's still one week that I don't want to mess up. Prove to myself that I can keep it up during the holidays.1 -

"Having fun" is something of a chore. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary.

I didn't stick to my calories yesterday and I was short of my step goal by only a couple hundred. I need to get my stress over the upcoming visit under control.

Yesterday was rough. Some of it I had control over (what/the amount I chose to eat) and some of it I didn’t (my stove crapping out again and limiting what I can cook/eat). Either way I’m trying not to beat myself up for it and just focus on moving forward.
My only goals for today are to log my food and drink 40 oz of water1 -
Good morning everyone! We have 70-degree weather in Wisconsin! I spent the entire day outside yesterday, cleaning up the yard and getting our deck chairs out from storage...stuff like that. It felt so good to be outside in only a t-shirt and feeling the sunshine. OMG. I know it's early April and it'll get cooler again, but I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts. I thought of you, @mytime6630 , while I was relocating a few of my perennials--was thinking about how much you love doing the flowers and landscaping.
Today is the weekly Accuquilt live stream video that I go watch with my mom. It's a quilting video, so I usually am in the mood to come home and sew afterward but I'm not sure if I will today because I think the draw to be outside in the sunshine is stronger than the draw to go downstairs and sew... We'll see!
@mytime6630 That's a really nice cause to donate quilts to. I'm sure the kids love them! Good luck today on your test today. They suck, but at least it's only every 10 years! lol
@teigansdad Have fun at St. Lucia!!! So jealous! I've never been to an all-inclusive resort, but I'm certainly I'd have a very hard time watching my calories if I was at one! (A problem I hope to have one of these winters...LOL) CONGRATS to Teigan for passing her drivers license test!
@clicketykeys (HUGS) I'm sorry you're struggling! Is there anything you can hand off to someone else to lighten your load? You are always so busy! I never know how you do it all! Take some "me" time when you can, even if it's just a bubble bath or a walk in nature!
@pamperedlinny I hope your visit with your parents goes well! Your Mississippi pot roast dinner looks really good! We make something similar in our crockpot. Glad you had a nice Easter.
@Bex953172 YAY YOU!!!! Nice loss!! I'm so happy for you! That had to have been a really nice surprise! I'm stuck at 182 and my first goal is to hit the 170's and not go back up. I hit 178 a couple times but the next week I'm right back in the 180's again. It's nice weather here this week so maybe I can get out a be a bit more active. Glad to hear you and Ash got a nice break for some alone time!
Just for Tuesday:
24H Plan & Assess
64 oz water
Close activity rings
15 min sewing room declutter / 15 min declutter upstairs / 15 min digital declutter
Quilting video at mom's today
Pick up April birthday cards - Bob, Kendra, Matt, Alli, Chrissy & Bradley Any others? CHECK!
Get outside! Enjoy the weather!
Evening Routine

Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow. Can still have hot cocoa and my dose of metamusal.1

I have Product Safety & Conformance Rep training today and tomorrow. To say it is boring is an understatement, but it is a requirement that someone in the company be a PSCR, and that someone is me. Luckily we don't really make any safety products/parts for the automotive industry, just the plastic pellets other companies use. My liability is limited.
Been busy helping V with her theater projects and cooking for the kiddos who are at practice from 4:30 - 10:00 each night this week. Show opens on Sunday!
Other than that, puppy training which is not going well. She really doesn't care if she poops in the kennel and lays in it. She gets a bath or 2 every day it seems.
Well back to training catch you later.1 -

So far so good on the drama front but it's only been since lunch yesterday. The parents did announce they changed the leaving plan to tomorrow afternoon instead of Friday morning. My daughter is going to be sad.... she wants to keep that dog. If we can keep away from anything controversial or where we differ too greatly until about 3pm tomorrow we'll have had a good visit. Fingers crossed we make it and keep on the smooth sailing course.

More training today, but the instructor said it will be a short day. I think we have one chapter to cover and then a test. If we can finish up by noon I can attend the audit I thought I was going to miss. After that I need to do some "props" work for V's play. Bringing inanimate objects to life is tough. We made a whisk costume and now they want a corkscrew. She got it started last night, but I'll need to buy a few things to finish it. Show opens Sunday, nothing like last minute requests for costumes. The director is a nice guy, but organization is not his strong suit. I'm always amazed at how well things come together in the end because the process is a cluster. After working on props, I'm going to try and go pick up my new wedding band. Mine snapped, and Tim upgraded it instead of fixing it. I'm excited to see it. After that will be trivia, assuming I get all of my chores done.
Definitely need to get back on target here. My new clothes are starting to get too tight. Not cool! That and cycling season is starting and spandex is not forgiving.

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?
I would not let her have it. Our fight with the girls was cell phones. We stuck it out and they didn’t get them until they could pay for them.
For an accurate idea of the internet issues, look at a FB guy named Officer Gomez. He is a school resource officer and the things he posts will ease your mind you are making the right decision.
It’s scary stuff out there.
