Good morning. Yesterday was a good day, focusing on the GHG's was a good visual for me. The not so good visual is the chaos of the apartment, but I am *telling myself* that it's all okay; J notices nothing unless he can't find clean socks, so this is all in my head. I did get a few things put away yesterday and will keep the Baby Steps idea in front of me.
I used a birthday coupon in a favorite store before the month was up last night and we stopped at our little neighborhood Mexican restaurant...so good, not like chain Mexican with heavy cheese and sauces. Our social activities just came to a halt this Fall with J's commute, so it's good to see if he will get himself home that there will be fun things to do; there were lots of choices that will work for me.
It didn't take much last night for my leg to start hurting and I'm still sleeping past 8, so I think those are messages I'm supposed to hear. I'm going to acupuncture today; J is going to ride the bus in with me, so that he can have a guide dog for figuring out the mysteries....we do lead exciting lives!
Have a good one.

Sun shining and promise of temps in the 50s. Taking time this morning for reflection and taking care of on line things I've been putting off. Today I need to deal with laundry and cleaning the kitchen. This will involve clearing my space of mindless eating temptations. Also going through gifts and finding homes for everything. The lights are still beautiful and I love the relaxing I can indulge in today after my cleaning and laundry of course. lol

I'm going to need 2 wagons-one to get on & one to stay on. This has been my worst holiday season ever but it's been bad for awhile before too. Just can't seem to get my mojo back. And I'm sure I feel like crap because I'm eating crap. Thankfully tomorrow I'm having my ears flushed so maybe I can hear again, especially those little voices that im sure are telling me...step. away, don't you dare put that in your piehole.
Cold, dreary & damp. Feels,like snow but I don't think it's in the forecast. At least we had yesterday.
Have a good one all

Hi all, I'm checking in late. Had a great Christmas with my DB, SIL and niece. Mom was mom, just can't expect what she can't give. But my niece and I had matching one piece PJ"s and had a blast!
Dinner was pork roast, homemade mac and cheese, collard greens (read as three pounds of butter and three different types of pork), black eye peas (again more butter and bacon). It was all great soul food, and no we are not from the south. We are good ole' rednecks from Northwest PA. But my DB learned how to cook all that in Florida and it's so good!
I have spent the last two days tracking EVERYTHING. Even the one snickerdoodle cookie (OK maybe 2) I"m allowing myself a day. Even if I don't know the point, I'm just writing it down.
I've also cooked at home every day, and have started a budget journal. I'm writing down everything I spend and what I save- such as saving by eating at home.
I've also cleaned the house and put all presents away already.
Can you say Stress from being at home where everything is dirty, no one has money, is out of jobs and I feel out of control? Well, hopefully this will keep me on track Happy New Year to everyone
