JANUARY 2025 W.I.S.H. THREAD, NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS

[Summer2018]

I'm excited to announce that I am down 7 pounds since January 2nd!!!!!!!!

So, it's the weekend...the most challenging time for me to eat healthy because my time is not structured. DD is home this weekend without her BF...quite the rare occurrence...so we're going to the movies. I WILL NOT INDULGE IN POPCORN WITH EXTRA BUTTER AND M&M'S. I plan on proving to myself that I don't need to do that in order to enjoy the movie theater experience. No takeout tonight. I can do this!

This is perfect for me! It is my favorite quick to grab ice cream treat!!!

This week went SO FAST I was so busy and absolutely overwhelmed with system issues that prevented me from getting time sensitive things accomplished. Hoping for a smoother work week coming up!!

For topic Tuesday I don’t rewrite I just go back to what I know works-tracking, water, working out and steps. I am doing good in 2025 so far and down 3lbs as of this morning, which I am pleased with.

Whooohoooo Wednesday, my foster is doing well physically and behaviorally. This week has been a big improvement both in her skin as well as using chew bones. I know that sounds silly but she had no idea what a toy was when she came here and had a nervous habit of chewing pillows and blankets…but she’s learning how to dog and I am so happy!!

Thankful to have our tickets for our trip purchased and our park reservations made. I can use the military ticketing office as a benefit of my job and we were able to get annual passes for universal for $210!!!!! A 2 day ticket was $295 so such a huge savings and maybe we can sneak in another universal visit this year!!

So far this weekend I babysat my niece and granddaughter yesterday, walked at the spca today, did some laundry…tomorrow we are getting 6 inches of snow which is beginning at 7am so it will be a day at home and shoveling for us!! Monday I am off and going to clean!

Speaking of the spca…take a peek at this guy I had the pleasure of spending time with today! He definitely has the best hair in the shelter!

Yesterday was supposed to be my “me day” to celebrate by birthday. But two of the three kids ended up sick between Thursday night and Friday evening. Did not sleep at all on Thursday and almost fell asleep in the parking lot of the hair salon on Friday. MIL was nice enough to watch DD so I didn’t have to reschedule. By the time I had to leave DD was feeling better and just wanted to sleep so MIL had an easy afternoon. Got home from my appointment and ended up picking up DS12 because he wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to take the bus. He and DD spent most of the afternoon/evening napping in my room. Spent the evening bouncing between them and trying to give DS9 some attention since he had kind of been fending for himself after getting home from school.
Today I ran the errands I had planned on running yesterday. We had originally planned on going out to dinner this weekend but between the colds and the weather who knows. Hoping to get in some decent gym time next week this week wasn’t ideal for exercise.
