I've been trying to get back to healthier habits, but food choices really challenged me today. My morning errands started with a stop at the new French-inspired bakery where I discovered that a strawberry mochi donut is the same number of calories as a bowl of oatmeal. Then my husband wanted lunch from the burrito place. I…

Not a bad day, but I'm wiped out. I got a lot of painting done this morning, then ran errands with my daughter before my afternoon class. My brain was too tired to focus on grading this evening, so I did word puzzles instead. Now to post goals and get to bed. Hoping to catch up reading posts this weekend. It feels good to…

Hi JFT friends! I know it's been ages, but you've been in my thoughts. Honestly, I've missed you all. The last 8 or 9 months have been challenging, and I've let the stress erode many of the good habits I worked so hard to build the previous year. Well today I looked at the date on my watch and the numbers on the scale and…

Quick check-in before a busy weekend to cap an extremely busy week packed with personal commitments and student conferences. I haven't been doing a great job with health goals. Terrible food choices. No real exercise. And I seriously need to straighten up the house! A wedding tonight and company tomorrow through Monday…

Hi all! No class this morning, so I have some time to check in. I was up at 6, but I'm getting a slow start today. It's supposed to be a gorgeous day, so I should try to take advantage of it. I have lots to do, but I'm just struggling with motivation in general. There's just so much going on - logistically and emotionally…

Yesterday's plan was upended by additional errands and my daughter coming over to do some paperwork, but I did get the muffins done in time for her to take them home for the kids. Todays plans are similarly loose, but I'm hoping to get out for a walk at some point. Recap - Thursday, 9/22 Log - :) Hydrate - :) Exercise - No…

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I got lots done and still found time for a walk at the beach with my daughter before we picked up the boys and took them for ice cream to mark the last day of summer.

@more_freggies76 - Oh, how I love France! Enjoy every minute! @cschmitz110515 - Ah, the not-so-wonderful flipside of property appreciation :/ Glad it won't derail your retirement plans. @pridesabtch - Sorry to heat your girls are sick. Hope they recover quickly. But I'm glad to hear the college visit went well. I loved…

Long week, but I made it to Friday, and the weather looks great this weekend! I have a pile of diagnostic essays to evaluate, but my first full week of classes is in the bag and I'm optimistic -as always - about the semester ahead. I've been spending a lot of time this week helping my daughter with various chores and…

@pridesabtch - Happy Anniversary! <3 @cschmitz110515 Good decision to share the apple crisp. I'm sure your co-workers appreciated it :) @clicketykeys - Sorry to hear you're feeling down. Maybe taking time for a little self-care will help you get back on track. Hugs. Great to hear from @MrsHermit - What an adventure!…

Busy week, but the semester seems to be off to a good start. Food choices have been reasonable, and I managed to get in a bike ride and a couple of walks. Lots of family stuff going on, so I need to be flexible and available to help out. For now, it's difficult to set a daily agenda and be consistent with goals, so I'm…

First day of the Fall 22 semester - time to get back on track, both professionally and personally. I've got meetings today and Wednesday, but classes start on Thursday, so I've got a couple of days to reset. These last couple of weeks seem to have flown by. I had a wonderful, busy week with my younger grandkids in MD,…

We didn't get the rain yesterday, so I'll be adding watering to my chores today. Lots to do today before I head down for a week with the younger grandkids. My daughter-in-law starts teaching a week before the kids go back to school, so I'll be busy. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Recap - Friday, 8/26 Balanced meals…

Happy Friday! Didn't get much done yesterday, but I had a lovely beach day with family on the bays. I packed some healthy snacks to keep on track, and I even got a good bit of walking in. Thunderstorms are in the forecast for this afternoon, so it will be a good day to get some indoor chores done. Recap - Thursday 8/25…

Got some chores done this morning, and I'm off on another adventure with the boys today. Not sure what meals will look like, but I'll try to make good choices.

@mytime6630 - Sending hugs and positive vibes <3

Yesterday went pretty well. I got a lot done before my grandsons arrived, so I was able to relax with them in the afternoon. Today we're off on an outdoor adventure before meeting up with my husband for dinner. At least I'll get my exercise in :) Recap - Tuesday, 8/23 Balanced meals - Dinner was okay. Could have done with…

Only two more weeks of summer before Fall Convocation and the start of another school year - where does the time go? I'm trying to cram in a few more adventures with the older grandkids this week since I'll be taking care of the younger ones down in MD next week. I need to find time to fit in a haircut, do the college's…

Another busy weekend leading into a busy week, but I finally got caught up with reading posts yesterday. @mytime6630 - It's good to hear from you. I love the idea of leaving the quilted hearts around town and hope it gives you as much joy as you are giving others. Prayers for a good result for your husband. @Bex953172 -…

Yesterday turned out busier than expected, but I did get the house straightened up and pretty much back to normal. I had my grandsons for the afternoon while my daughter got a pedicure and relaxed on her own for a bit. Although school starts in a couple of weeks, we seem to be at that stage of the summer where the kids are…

Got a lot done yesterday, and the house is almost back to normal. My younger son and his spouse moved back to NJ last week and are staying with us until they find a place. I've really been enjoying their company, so I haven't been online much. The weather has been pleasantly cool, so I've even been enjoying the outdoor…
