    No it didn't work for me either!

    It redirected me from MFP. Asked me to log into my Microsoft which I did and then it said Access denied.

    On my way home from work, I remembered that I had to go to mom's. Her home helper is out this week, so I need to go everyday and make sure she takes her medicine. Plus she needs to take her new teeth out and rinse the sockets with salt water. Haven't been feeling the greatest, cramping tummy after meals and heartburn or maybe panic attacks, not sure. Either way by the time I get home, I've been useless. V did make it home yesterday evening. I always sleep better when my baby is home.

    Today is day 3 of dry shampoo… How long can you go without washing your hair? Note: I have showered just not done the hair in like a week. Tonight is trivia. I really enjoy Wednesday evening trivia, but I've just been so darn tired. Anyway, goal is less alcohol tonight than a typical Wednesday evening.

    Thank you @more_freggies76 @littleblackskirt @itladyee @Bex953172 for responding about the hyperlink. I'm not technically gifted, so when stuff changes, I need very specific explanations sometimes. Feedback is vital to me. Thanks again! These format updates are so annoying.

    Didn't log or post yesterday, as hubby & I had individual stuff around town to do, then we ran errands together and spur of the moment went out to eat after. Too much guessing to attempt to log. Daily weigh-in no worse.

    JFT 3/12 W ~ Mild temps, snow nearly all gone. Sun shining thru thin clouds. Nice enough day.

    • Supper? either soup supper at church or hatch chili enchiladas from Sam's / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
    • OT exercises (6x), putty (2x), massage scar / walk dog
    • Lenten service 6:00
    • Confirm & pre-reg tomorrow appts for ortho specialist & therapy / finance tasks / wash dishes / rehearse music / read / digital declutter / other?

    WOTY 2025: Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgement in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!

    I just found this thread. It sounds like a good way of getting encouragement for keeping myself on track. I've done to much eating and not enough exercise over the last 3 years and the results are on the scale and the sizes in my closet. I am wearing the largest size I have ever had.

    Since today is almost over, I will give my goals for tomorrow

    JFT - Thursday, March 13

    • Up on time!
    • Log my food
    • Hydrate!
    • No giving into cravings
    • Run on my lunch break (goal of 4km)
    • Laundry
    • Practice Piano

    Oh boy. I don’t see my normal formatting options and after catching up on your posts, I see they did another “upgrade”. Ugh. Another learning curve. I wish they’d just leave it be. I still haven’t gotten over the demise of our Newsfeed! 😬🤦🏻‍♀️

    I know it’s late in the day, but I had goals in mind and want to be accountable. I’ve been sick with upper respiratory stuff for over a week, and I need to get on track. Still not feeling good but a little better each day.

    @Bex953172 what awesome photos! What a beautiful country you live in. Is the trail you and Ash walked near where you live, or did you drive to a park? Really pretty. And you and Ash are such a cute couple! So cool to get to finally put a face to his name. You look great! ❤️

    Just For Wednesday, 03/12/2025

    1. 24 H plan & assess. 😎 Done
    2. 64+ oz water
    3. Log every bite. Aim for 30 different plants this week. Close Food Diary at the end of the day.
    4. Run to DG for birthday card and bananas. 😎 Done
    5. Rest. No guilt either. It’s okay to rest if your body needs it.
    6. Declutter 5 things upstairs. Declutter sewing tables for 15 minutes. Set timer and do what you can, then stop. It’s a start and not overwhelming.
    7. Bible app plan. JFT. Patreon. Readings.
    8. Meds & supplements. Check them off and make sure you get them all.
    9. March’s task list…start checklist in To Do app.
    10. Bedtime routine. Begin by 8:30 and do a little something during Survivor & Amazing Race commercials. Early to bed tonight.

    WsOTY 2025: Health. Strength. Flexible & Able. Peace. Faith.

    Whoa , you all are a busy group. I missed a few days and had over 50 posts. I am not able to get through them all but lots of stuff going on I guess.

    @pridesabtch- your schedule is exhausting just to read ! your always on the run it seems. No wonder your exhausted! Its alot to care for a parent. I totally understand that. I hope you can find some time to just wind down and "be still" so you can rest your mind and body. Its important to take care ourselves. Its a hard thing to do too! It reminds me of how things have been for my last few summers . This year I decided I am going to stop giving myself a second job by teaching ( I teach Equestrian riding instruction) and just enjoy my time that I do have when I am not at my regular job. The hassle and headache and time put in doesn't pencil for me anymore.

    @TerriRichardson112 good to see you still at it and plugging away at goals. One foot in front of the other right?

    @angf0679- welcome.. this is a great place to keep accountable and get great support . We are all working through our own obstacles but it helps to have a place to come and chat.. and share .. so we don't feel so alone , especially on those tougher days.

    For everyone I missed, I hope you are all doing great..

    JFT

    Get through my workday day while trying to manage stress levels (its been rough)(SO MANY MEETINGS AND OVERLAPPING DEADLINES)

    Log my meals

    Get on the treadmill

    Water water water

    Stick to my workout routine

    Be consistent, be disciplined in my workouts

    Make a plan for the hubby's bday

    Planning my parents 60th wedding anniversary this summer with my sister

    Planning my 50th birthday trip this fall with my BFF from school

    I wish I had more time right now to put towards my planning of all the things but evening workouts plus getting dinner , and now that the weather has gotten nicer we are starting back to working horses in the evenings. I need about 6 more hours in my day I swear.
