Wow I got nothing done yesterday. Took mom to dinner instead of going on a bike ride/cleaning. Oh well...
I have spent 4 hours researching Medicare advantage plans this morning. Finally got mom some great benefits! It doesn't start until January, but we finally got it done. Rainy day today, not sure what I'll do after work.
Didn't do much Thursday. Played pool (poorly) Friday night. Saturday I knocked it out of the park: Taught spin, Cleaned the garage, Swept and mopped floors & Completed my portion of a quilting project (I cut up t-shirts and boxed them). The garage was a huge undertaking and the floors were covered in doggo fur and I couldn't find the Swiffer, so that took some time. Sunday, I slept in a bit, but did laundry. Lots of laundry and got it all folded and put away. Had to actually clean out the closet and dresser to make it all fit. Hubby had to do his closet and drawers also. It isn't often all of the laundry is put away at once. We are definitely blessed by abundance in that area.
I enjoyed being home and eating home cooked meals this weekend as well. We are supposed to go out for dinner tonight, but I'd rather just stay home. We'll see how I feel later.

Lost at trivia last night. Came down to the last question and Tim and I disagreed. We went with my answer and it was wrong. His answer was correct. We always seem to chose poorly on the last question. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes he's right, but we never seem to go with the correct answer. After trivia we went to the pool hall where I worked on my break. I found at the tournament that if I break poorly, my confidence drops and I have an awful game. If I break well, I tend to play well. Hence, I am working on my break. An older guy, showed me how to break the other night. I just need to execute it better.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I suppose it's because kids run around and do kid things. They get to be silly and as original as they want. I typically dress up as well, but I may forgo that this year and just enjoy the parade of kiddos. Bought the good candy so no pranks at my place tonight.
Tim took the day off today to relax and rest. He has worked the last 23 days straight. Not always 8 hours, but no less than 6 hours a day up to as many as 13 hours a day. During TAR (once every 3 year maintenance) at the chemical plant, the engineers in his department are very busy. My department, not so much. I'm in a much more mellow section. On his day off he will run, do yoga, go to the grocery and make me a nice dinner. He's a really great guy and he'd do anything to make me happy. We joke that we are like Ross & Rachael or Leonard & Penny. He pursued me for 5 years before I agreed to go out with him, but it's still one of my best decisions. Who knew I'd end up with a "good guy" after dating so many losers.

JFT Tuesday HALLOWEEN Night
I won’t eat anything after dinner.
Went over calories with a homemade Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and 3 fun size chocolate bars at workI. I hate it that there are Candy Dishes all over the very small office….Thank goodness we don’t get trick or treaters at my house, so didn’t have to buy any candy, avoiding further temptation!
Happy Halloween everyone!

Had fun giving out candy last night, though I did need a blanket to sit outside. The kids were all very polite and excited by out candy selection. After the munchkins finished up, I went into the toasty warm house where hubby made dinner. Had dinner and then settled in for the night. It's been a good week so far. Tonight, I think I'll skip trivia and get a few things ready for the weekend trip to VA. Making brownies and pepperoni rolls for my girl's birthday and don't want to feel rushed tomorrow evening.

Hi JFT friends! It's been a while 😆. I had to go back to page 80 to find my last post. I may or may not read the backlog I missed. Earlier this year, I just got sick of logging everything day after day. So I stopped. Now my weight is up and today, I finally feel like I want to log again. I have been keeping up with walks with dog. Here's a pic of her in her new winter jacket, on the day of our first hard freeze this week.
JFT 11/1 W
1) Log all food on MFP / at least 64 oz. water
2) Walk dog 3.78 miles = happy me & happy dog
3) Find pattern for baby snuggle buddy / watch World Series
4) Floss / retainers / pray

Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA
2023 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be satisfied if I can get back down to 160# this yearWord for 2022-23: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.

13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. 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. How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.
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." Use AI for ideas.
WFTY: Priorities. Today went better, but it's still a quandary. One of the books that really helped me early on was Cris Tovani's I Read It, But I Don't Get It. But I think what I need now is the follow up that has yet to be written: I Didn't Read It, But I Still Pass, Right?
2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.2
