Happy Friday! The house across the street's yard is in bloom with daffodils, hyacinths and something else that I'm not sure the name of. It's so pretty! I have a perfect view of her whole front yard from my TV Chair in the livingroom and I just can't get over the fact it was only 3 weeks ago that we had 15" of snow dumped…

Good morning JFT Peeps! It's a lovely day in Green Bay again. It's going to be in the 80's again. Next week we have a chance of snow flurries, so I'm enjoying it while it lasts. I'm calling today to see if I can join a program called Prescription for Wellness at the YMCA. I think getting exercise in the pool is something…

It's 86 degrees here today! I know it won't last because, let's face it, it's early April in Green Bay, but I'm enjoying every single minute of having the windows open and airing out the house while I can! Soaking up the sunshine. :flowerforyou: I know it's late to post goals for today, but I'm going to anyway because I…

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…

Checking in. Too late to make big goals for the day, but I'm still going to list a few for accountability's sake. I've logged in to post goals a few times over the past week but my laptop keeps giving me the blue-screen-of-death and by the time I get it brought back up I'm irritated and not in the mood to re-type it all. I…

Happy Monday JFTers! I need a good kick in the butt. I am self-sabotaging at every turn lately. I don't know if it's because I've been in pain and don't want to make it worse or if I'm depressed because I hurt all the time--I suspect it's a combination of the two. It doesn't help that we got 15" of snow again this weekend…

@cschmitz110515 Wasn't that snow storm crazy?! We ended up with over 15" of snow, and a friend of mine from Oconto only got 6". I'm so happy to see the roads are already melting and even dry in some spots. Was really icy this morning! I feel bad for the poor robins waiting for nightcrawlers to magically appear from under…

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…

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…

@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!…

Hello JFTers! Hope everyone is doing well. We have blue skies in Green Bay today! Yippee! It sure does make a difference in my mood. I've never been more aware of that than this winter. I got outside for a little bit yesterday, and getting some fresh air really did make a difference in my mood. I've decided to set a daily…

Rainy day in Green Bay but it's melting the snow, so I'll take it! @Bex953172 You "accidentally" did a push up! hahaha! OMG. I lol'd when I read that. Just for Wednesday* 24H Plan & Assess :) Done * Water 64 oz by 7 pm * WFPB meals - L: Homemade Minestrone Soup, sourdough toast. D: Grilled shrimp. Baked sweet potato. Side…

Dr. appointment yesterday went about how I expected. Apparently I have arthritis in my ankles and feet that is progressing, and neuropathy which had been pretty stable since chemo is progressively getting worse also (maybe one is triggering the other?). So, I'm trying an anti-inflammatory to try to quiet the arthritis and…

I understand what you're saying about not knowing the colors and their likes/dislikes. It is hard to put so much into a quilt and then not know if the recipient likes it or not. A lot of work goes into them, and let's face it...fabric and batting cost is going up all the time. It is one of the reasons I'm kind of wavering…

First day of spring! Happy, happy, happy, although we still have a foot of snow in our yard... :) My dog took my husband for a really long walk today, so she must be feeling it too! I am going to dr today to see what's up with my feet. Staying off of them has calmed them down quite a bit since I made the appointment last…

Happy Sunday! I'm noticing that I'm "shoulding" on my plans instead of writing down doable goals for myself. Realistically, while I'm having the pain in my legs and feet, I'm not going to do all the cleaning and decluttering and activity. So why do I keep writing it down? I'm setting myself up for feeling like I failed…

Thank you, Joan!!! 63 years old! Good Lord, how did THAT happen? :D

Happy Saturday, JFT friends! THANK YOU for the birthday wishes! It's actually blue skies here today, so that certainly helps with a person's mood. Today is my 63rd birthday, so we are going out to eat with my mother. She wants to go to Golden Corral since she is very limited in the foods she can eat and that will allow her…

@mytime6630, @jennysweet58, @pamperedlinny Thank you for the suggestions! I'm definitely going to look into all of them. I want to be healthy more than I care about the number on the scale, so I'm going to explore all the things. Last night I roasted broccoli, asparagus and mushrooms in the oven in some EVOO, salt & pepper…

Hey there! Loving the ideas for snacks. I am an evening (TV Time) snacker and I really want to find better options too. I'd like to stop evening snacking altogether, but I noticed this week since I've been eating more WFPB that I'm truly hungry at that time. Plant-based meals just don't stick with me very long. I've been…

Just for Today:* 64 oz water * 24H Plan & Assess * WFPB meals today * Grocery shopping * Food prep * Close activity rings * Self-Care 30 minutes

Good morning JFT friends! Well, the morning went good. Got all 3 grandkids up without too much complaining and out the door and to school on time. Then I got a call from older grandson to come get him because he isn't feeling well. I know the other two kids were sick last week, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and…

You've got a really healthy plan for today! Is the vanilla skinny syrup for your coffee like using stevia drops? Just curious. I like french vanilla creamer but I'm trying to get away from using creamer but still want that flavor...

Good morning folks! I'm home to shower after dropping grandkids off at school. So far so good over there, but boy I sure am not used to getting kids up and off to school in the mornings anymore. I'm almost 63 years old and it's been a minute since I had to fight with kids to get up and get ready. Parenting is definitely…

@Bex953172 The grandkids that I'm staying with are 16yo boy, 14yo girl and 9yo boy. So they are not young children that I have to chase after...but there's a lot of running the teenagers around and getting them all to school and home. All 3 go to different schools. The 14 and 16 year olds both have a job and school…

I've caught up reading posts to Feb 22nd, so not totally caught up. I need to post goals now though or I'll end up putting it off another day, which never seems to come! I just have a few things I really want to reply to quick though. @pridesabtch I'm only caught up to Feb 22nd, but I want you to know I'm praying for you…

I finally went back and read the past 5 pages and there has been some major stuff going on. Hugs to all of you going through difficult things. :heart: @Bex953172: Saskia's birthday sounds like it turned out to be perfect! I'm sorry it was so stressful. I know how that feels when you don't want your kids to be hurt or…

Good morning! One of my favorite things about retirement is not having to work on Mondays. :blush: There is a blue sky today and that has been very rare here in WI over the past month. It certainly does make a difference in my mood. Lifts my spirits for sure. It's -16 degrees F today though, so no walk for my Maddie. She's…

Hello everyone! I'm 5 pages behind, but if I take the time to go back and read right now, I won't get any goals posted. So....I hope everyone is well and I'll catch up later when I can. :) Just for Sunday* NoBS 24H Plan & Assess * NoBS Weekly Plan & Assess * Weigh in and record * 64 oz water * Finish up January bills &…

I'm just seeing this now. How is your cousin's son? Did the surgery go well? I hope so. I'll say a prayer for quick complete recovery for him. :heart:
