2025 Week #41 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 10/06/25 - Sunday 10/12/25)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

Do Your Best and Get Your rest.
Things are usually much harder then we think. Do your best. Be kind to yourself and Be kind to others.

Thank you all for keeping the thread alive last week! 💖
I read everything and you have been busy last week. I hope it all feels successful for this week.
@IsayUncle
@IsayUncle The struggle is real! 😂
Welcome back Uncle! You were missed! 😊
@IsayUncle
Check out this thread from @Heather225. It sounds like it could be a fun challenge and you get a chance to chat about the small things in a big way.
you can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it. 😁🤪😊🤗
P. S. I did not finish my big job but getting closer. 😕... that's otay., keep pushing.
@IsayUncle
@Amanda84
I hope you are having a good week. You doing OK this week?
I guess the goal this week is not to get behind like I have been. The odds are already against me though.
So I found an article that gives reasons for fluctuations in internal temperature (except it highlights people feeling hot, not extreme cold like I get and generally at the same time. Except this morning, I'm feeling it now which makes it difficult to work) and one thing it suggests is to reduce stress. Oh if only that were possible. It also says to get at least seven hours of sleep. That's not going to happen. Especially if I fall asleep due to being extremely cold and then I don't wake up in time to eat at a decent hour.
@Enthenia
Wow, that sounds a little scarey... Has it been happening a long time and have you talked to a doctor?
@IsayUncle my doctor isn't very helpful. I happened to check my insurance page because I couldn't remember the doctor's phone number and it says I have diabetes but I've never been told I have anything. All I ever get told is to eat less and exercise more. Which I do. I don't eat half of the things I used to. The last time I had an appointment she asked sort of off-hand if I was monitoring my sugar intake and I said not really. I mean, why would I? Like I said, I have never been told specifically that I have anything.
Wouldn't a competent doctor tell someone? Or at least explain the blood tests or something? All I ever get is exercise more and lose weight. This is exactly the reason why I don't go to the doctor more often. Just seems to be a waste of time and money.
@Enthenia
Super bummer.... never able to get straight answers. I' sorry. Did they say "ANYTHING" about super cold flashes?
@IsayUncle well I didn't have them at the time. And it's been sporadic until recently. I seem to get really cold around 8 pm (except for the time I got cold in the morning). I had read that it could be from the lack of iron but my doctor has said that I had too much (although it was more of an offhand comment).
I don't know if it's from the lack of food but I can't exactly be eating all day long. I try doing keto candy and a lot of low sugar things. Most of what I do is keto friendly but sometimes even those are too much for me.
I do dried meat also (usually the Epic brand) and nuts as well as those protein packs found by the hot dogs in the grocery store. I get the ones that just have meat and nuts although I do get the salmon ones when I go to the healthy food store. They've started adding protein sides at the deli section (salmon and other meats) but it's $10 for a small portion. Too expensive for a lunch.
The little meal kits with the crackers usually have a lot of salt or sugar. Even salads can be too much for me depending on what they're made of.
It all gets rather tiresome.
@Enthenia
Food is getting really expensive.
Healthy and specialty foods are through the roof. $$$$ but that's what we need to stay balanced most of the time. 😞
I just eat a lot of greens and drink homemade electrolye water..... but taht's on top of the recurring processed foods, which are fairly cheap but horrible for the body and mind.
@IsayUncle I waited behind a lady at the grocery store once. Had her cart full of basically party food and I noted that I couldn't eat any of that. It was things like the frozen puff pizza bites and prepackaged cupcakes.
Not sure how productive I can be this morning. Tripped this morning while walking the dog. Misjudged the depth with my bifocals. Scared the cat who was walking with us. The dog came and kissed me which was nice but I was trying to stand back up. My leg doesn't hurt as much as when I hit the concrete but one of my fingers hurts a bit. I was holding a portion of the dog's leash. It's a six foot lead and I usually hold a bit to have a bit of control over her. Helps when she sees a stray cat and tries to go play with it. But there's that along with being cold again. I shouldn't have picked up a couple of miniature chocolate cups from a co-worker's desk (they have things like that out for that purpose) but what I bring to work with me was running low. I usually refrain especially now. Fall and Christmastime are the worst because of the surplus of stuff I can't eat. I saw that our director has Halloween buckets in her office and I assume she's going to put them on our desks filled with candy in the future (she does things like that) and that's really not something I can do. But I can't really say anything.
Anyways, Christmastime is super bad too because of all the people offering me things that they get from vendors and it's usually stuff that's high carbs and lots of sugar which are two things I can't do.
But now it's time to look at the grocery ads, visit the restroom, and get back to work...
So in case anyone was wondering, I didn't get to paper portion of the third assignment. I'm down to getting the rest of the details on the accounts in MI and NJ. Those are on different sites. Then I have to do the background checks on all of them. I think about forty again. I didn't really count.
Maybe I can get back to my classes tomorrow. I need to participate more. What gets me is that I try to get everything done and yet my supervisors can spend the afternoon chatting with someone from another department. When one of them is talking, she's not working. She also can leave the site and go shopping (has done before). But, I have four minutes left and then I can leave for the day. I will be relieved...
@Enthenia
Ohhhh, i hope ur alright. We have to be so careful. Sounds like it was kind of a bad fall. 😢
@IsayUncle got a bruse on my leg and my left arm is sore. The hand was a little numb but I could have slept on it wrong. The lower back hurt a bit yesterday. I misjudged the depth. I'll survive though. Fortunately the dog didn't want to go that way this morning. It's not a direction we normally take.
@IsayUncle
Got through my 8hrs of work
Stayed put in my seat (I had a day last week I was tearful and kept going to the bathroom) PROGRESS!!!
Dinner is in the oven (slacked on meal prep-now I know of its importance)
Can’t wait to slide into my Jammie’s and slide into bed
@peachThinker662
You deserve it 💜
@Amanda84
Thank you 💕 i miss you
@peachThinker662
I'm always here 💕
@peachThinker662
SUPER BIG CONGRATULATIONS!.... On the new job! I see you started your new job last week. That's wonderful, I don't know if the job is wonderful, but the fact that you're moving forward, IS.
And congratulations on being able to stay in your chair all day.😅. Don't beat yourself up for being emotional. This is a big deal, with big changes, so you be proud of yourself for all the little bits that you do right.
And then go home and snuggle on it and get a good sleep Ahhhhhh. YEP, You're doing great.
New disciplines and schedules are really hard to adjust to...... But in permanace they become normal and easier. (again, congrats on your new job. Do well)
Ugh I’m frustrated today.
I want my bed.
I’m here though. Don’t have to give 100% but need to be present.
The person that was supposed to meet me here was late, so I wandered around like a lost puppy early this morning.
@peachThinker662 Hang in there!
I LOVE that reminder you put out there... (I don't have to be 100%, just be there) or show up or be present as much as you can.
I REALLY love that "switch" for the brain. Since you have been reminding me, it has helped me out often and a lot. THANK YOU.
Just make it the next hour and maybe things can get better. 💗
@IsayUncle
@peachThinker662
You're welcome friend! 🤗.
@IsayUncle
❤️
What if I made a mistake changing jobs? 😢
What do I do?
@peachThinker662
Work it three months... *** or high water....
Why are you doubting? Do you want to go back to your old job and is that an option?
@IsayUncle
I’m TIRED. I’m a bag of tears when I’m tired. Like a baby. Feed me and put me to bed.
It’s new surroundings, new schedule, new people. All of the LEARNING. Makes me more tired. And well, it’s been a while.
😩 The struggle is real some days
@peachThinker662
I'm Tired.... So Tired....
I relate and feel you to the bottom of my heart!
Get frustrated about all the obstacles and accept the tiredness...... JUST DON'T DOUBT YOURSELF.
GOOD DAYS, BAD DAYS they flow. Go with the flow the best you can . Don't doubt yourself.
You got this, You're OK. Breath, accept, learn, smile. 💖
@IsayUncle
“Get frustrated about all the obstacles and accept the tiredness...... JUST DON'T DOUBT YOURSELF.“
that right there 🙌
there will be no self doubt!!!!! thank you for the reminder!!! I’m bigger than I believe ❤️❤️❤️
🧘♀️ 😊
@peachThinker662
love ur attitude. lets get ready and do it again tomorrow! fingers crossed for a better, tear free day.
Did you know the corners of a smile block the tear ducts so you can't cry? yep, a scietific fact!
@IsayUncle
hmmm … I did not know that
did you know you just made me smile? 😊
@peachThinker662
Shhh, i made that up, but we can keep it as our scientific fact. It sounded good huh? 😂.
Maybe there is something to it..... if we're smiling more, we're probably crying less.
You have a smiley day today, for sure! ☺️😄
Remember, new routines and disciplines are hard, but they get softer with time. Don't get discouraged. If you do, try blocking those tear ducts for a minute or more!
@peachThinker662
You havent made a mistake, you are just learning and adjusting, be gentle with yourself as you navigate new things 💕💜
Hoping to work on the third assignment tomorrow. Bunch of names on my lists that I don't recognize so I'll have to do background checks on them. Have to get all the relevant information from other applications and then get off the VPN so I can access the background check sites.
I just don't want to fall behind again and get all the emails about lack of engagement.
Feeling a little cold now and I actually ate something. A vegan protein bar that I've had before. I wish I could go back to when I didn't have to watch what I eat...
But, I've only got about four minutes left so I'd better move files over...
