Been busy the last few days. Halloween was fun, my daughter was Wednesday Adams. I didn’t even know she knew who that is. Trying frantically to catch up at work, in areas I have no idea what I’m doing. But I’m happy to report I have officially lost 5 pounds since rejoining this group in early Oct! JFT 11/2 Exercise Track…

JFT 10/30 Catch up on work :/ tried, but still had to take my mom to the doctor for most of the afternoon. I’m getting stressed Practice presentation :/ not making progress on this. Stress building. Make soup :) taking soup to for lunch. Exercise :( nothing done. Not even a walk Track :) I did but wasn’t green Stretch :(…

I’ve been off for a few days, on a business trip. Overall, a good trip, though an idiot rear ended me on the way down on I95 so I need to deal with that. The extra time for the accident caused me to have less time catching up with a friend for dinner before my business stuff started. Overall, I did a lot of walking in the…

So I forgot to set goals for today, but today was a winning day. Rocked it at work, was very pleased with how the day went. Calorie wise should still technically be under what I ate, but no time to exercise today. Exhausted but happy. JFT 10/19 Track Exercise Watch soccer game Declutter in kitchen Visit dad

Thanks @aubyshortcake. Small goals weren’t small enough. Mentally a little better today. Dad seems better, but still not eating much. I was frustrated I lost all the changes in my presentation I know I saved on Friday. Cat had emergency trip to vet due to sickness. So...Uncontrolled eating today. Need to start afresh…

Today was an unexpected day. Stuff happened that has taken up a lot of mind space. My dad is really not doing well, he started hospice today. I woke up early just stressed about everything - work, dad, kids. I feel like I have no capacity for extra stuff these days. :'( It’s days like these that I go off track. JFT 10/16…

Ok, so it’s been a long time since I’ve been on this board, but I need a new start. Weight Keeps creeping up and I think it’s affecting my health. Need to try to hold myself more accountable.
