Apparently, I'm overly share-y right now... So money angst.... Spoiler UGH. I have huuuuuuuge student loans because medical education in America is broken. And I've been on a repayment plan based on my income, but the paperwork to renew didn't go fast enough. So my account automatically planned to deduct 5 times my usual monthly payment. I realized this the night before and called my loan servicer. They told me there was nothing they could do to stop the payment. So, I took all my money out of my account that was linked for a few days planning to bounce that transaction while they put my loan in forbearance. I got a memo yesterday that the transaction hadn't been approved, so I moved my money back in order to make sure my rent and credit card payments (also automatic) were on time. This morning, I woke up and found that the payment for my loan HAD gone through. My accounts are all empty now. >:/ My rent payment is "processing", but I have nowhere near enough money in there and I'm sure my credit card is about to try to process too. The bank doesn't open until 8am. I am not pleased, but I am sure will God will get me through this too. 1 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment

Let's hope for the best. Just nice to know there are kind people out there listening. After many phone calls and emails... I think it will all sort out... in about 45 days. And, luckily, I have enough cushion to get me through that with only a few late fees. Poor emergency fund is pretty sparse though if anything else comes up. 5 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment

Mrs Van Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 For some or other reason I never got a notification and with my mind having been in a brain fog thing, I didn't catch on till today I'm so glad that you got to a mentor who was willing to sit with you and work things out. Possible career futures, AND people you can see about it! Money... UGH... glad that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I know how that feels. So much. At least you have Dragon who gives you moral support at home too. 2 Quote Mrs. Van's Latest Challenge Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord." Link to comment

At least you have Dragon who gives you moral support at home too. Welcome back. Silly forums. Career stuff is very good. I got my application in on time and am presenting my first poster next week in Memphis. My bank and loan company gave my money back too! Yay! You guys may remember that I'm watching through all of Star Trek this year? Well, Bones did the thing!!! He said his catch phrase for the first time (at least in the order the nerds are watching it) in "The Devil in the Dark". And it was glorious! I know that feel, bro. Props for saving that silicone based life form though. Mad doctor props. 4 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
Mrs Van Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 When I was a kid I watched a couple of Star Trek episodes. Then for a long time there wasn't Star Trek on our tv's, and I moved out of the house, and still don't have a tv. But now the new movies are coming out and I'm loving it! I love Bones' dry, almost negative humour. 1 Quote Mrs. Van's Latest Challenge Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord." Link to comment

annyshay Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 You guys remember me going on and on about Amy Clover, right? Well, I'm currently in her group coaching course on Intentional Eating. I have many thoughts to share at some point, but I wanted to share my actual food journal at the moment. I'll try to post it once a week or so. Spoiler WEEK 1 Monday breakfast: emotions/thoughts before - a bit stressed about how much I need to get done ate at ~6:45am, had my big breakfast (bacon, hash - sweet potato, onion, peppers, kale, eggs, butter, black tea with some cream) emotions/thoughts after - ready lunch: emotions/thoughts before - lots of should I eat now? What if I don’t? Am I really hungry? Ate at 12:35pm Reheated chicken thigh and brussel sprouts emotions/thoughts after - don’t really feel full, but I wasn’t super hungry, will take at least 20 minutes and re-assess afternoon snack: emotions/thoughts before - definitely hungry at 1:15pm, does this count as a snack? Or part of lunch?! Ate at 1:40pm bagel with cream cheese and black tea emotions/thoughts after - mmmmmm, that hits the spot dinner: emotions/thoughts before - worked late and was hungry Ate at 7pm Leftover roast and veggies, Greek yogurt with honey and frozen raspberries emotions/thoughts after - satisfied and content, some worry about “eating too much” EXERCISE: none REFLECTION: Lots of thinking about thinking about food choices, anxiety, appropriate reframing that this is likely to pass Tuesday breakfast: emotions/thoughts before - less hungry today, no need for starch Ate at 6:45am Eggs, bacon, onion, pepper, kale, tea emotions/thoughts after - good, time to get going lunch: emotions/thoughts before - just had a fairly intense unplanned conversation with Ketzela, ready for a break and alone time 11:45am Leftover roast and veggies, a few bites of an apple pastry, black tea with cream emotions/thoughts after - oh no! I forgot to bring some papers and am running late!! afternoon snack: emotions/thoughts before - thank god that meeting was over, time to regroup for the next one Ate at 2:30pm Frozen kefir with chocolate chips and strawberries emotions/thoughts after - once more into the breach! dinner: emotions/thoughts before - I need more fuel before I get back to my application and I am choosing to enjoy delivery food for Mardi Gras 5:20pm Burger, fries, and salad emotions/thoughts after - mmmm, let's do this! EXERCISE: several brisk walks between meetings REFLECTION: I was drained both mentally and emotionally. I chose to nourish myself and ignore the thoughts of “that's too much” or “that's not healthy”. I needed the fuel today! Wednesday breakfast: emotions/thoughts before - drained and slightly anxious about work today but also grateful of quiet moments alone to restore, ack there will be food at morning report - do I want to use that as my snack? 6:20am Usual breakfast (eggs, butter, sweet potato, onion, pepper, kale) emotions/thoughts after - full, still debating snacks and many other things... lunch: emotions/thoughts before - hungry, busy with work stuff, running through my list Ate at 12:15 Chicken, snap pea, carrots, hummus emotions/thoughts after - felt over full, but had to go go go afternoon snack: emotions/thoughts before - feeling weak and nauseated, decided to skip emotions/thoughts after dinner: emotions/thoughts before - feeling weak and nauseated, decided to skip emotions/thoughts after EXERCISE: brisk walks REFLECTION: I've been pushing hard for weeks, I wonder if that's why my body was like nooooope today, went to bed really early to try to fight whatever illness was brewing Thursday breakfast: emotions/thoughts before - feeling sort of weak still, but less nauseated 7:00 Bone broth emotions/thoughts after - warmth was nice, and I don't feel worse lunch: emotions/thoughts before - I'm hungry! Noon Pork burrito bowl (pork, black beans, rice, salsa, guacamole, sour cream) and a chocolate chip cookie emotions/thoughts after - I'm so glad I'm feeling better! afternoon snack: emotions/thoughts before - wasn't hungry, so I skipped emotions/thoughts after dinner: emotions/thoughts before - hungry but wanted something milder 7 Chicken, red pepper mayo, green beans, baked potato, butter emotions/thoughts after - that was just right EXERCISE: walks REFLECTION: glad my hunger is back, hope to focus a bit more on Mindful moments tomorrow Friday breakfast: emotions/thoughts before - hungry again, yay! 6:50 Eggs, butter, sweet potato, onion, pepper emotions/thoughts after - grateful, content morning snack: emotions/thoughts before - peer pressure to eat a starburst >:/ not worth the emotional energy to say no 11:00 2 starbursts emotions/thoughts after - tasty lunch: emotions/thoughts before - mmmm lunch 12:10 Chicken with bbq sauce, hummus, snap peas, carrots emotions/thoughts after - stopped early after a few check-ins, I’m satisfied and the rest of my veggies can be a snack if I want later afternoon snack: emotions/thoughts before - hungry 4 hummus, snap peas, carrots emotions/thoughts after - good, time to get to the post office dinner: emotions/thoughts before - hungry 6:15 Pot roast and veggies, dark chocolate, sea salt caramels emotions/thoughts after - tempted to continue with caramels, but full and happy EXERCISE: tai chi REFLECTION: more of a good thing is tempting Saturday breakfast: emotions/thoughts before - hungry, anxious about call 8 Greek yogurt, PB2, some cocoa, raspberries, remaining sea salt caramels emotions/thoughts after - satisfied, calm, enjoying reading online forums lunch: emotions/thoughts before - overwhelmed from the call, hopeful, scared, basically all the feels Meal - 11:45, lots of thinking during emotions/thoughts after - lots of thoughts, some shoulds, trying to keep breathing, excited to go see Moana afternoon snack: emotions/thoughts before - drained 2:45 - Meal emotions/thoughts after - content, grateful dinner: emotions/thoughts before - hungry, thinking about whether or not I want to go out dancing 7:15 - Meal, watching Star Trek emotions/thoughts after - full, content late snack: emotions/thoughts before - hungry but don't want to stop gaming, should be in bed already 10 - Meal emotions/thoughts after - mmm, now I'm ready for bed EXERCISE: bodyweight workout REFLECTION: lots of feelings ending in contentment Sunday breakfast: emotions/thoughts before - hungry, feeling a little rushed to get to church 7:15 emotions/thoughts after - warm and gooey and tasty morning snack: emotions/thoughts before - mmmm cake, still hungry, may have some yogurt... 9:15 emotions/thoughts after - much better lunch: emotions/thoughts before - hungry, victory over the forest temple and phantom ganon 12:20 emotions/thoughts after - full, enjoying Star Trek dinner: emotions/thoughts before - tempted by new zelda game, hungry 5:30 emotions/thoughts after - over full, contentedly playing Twilight Princess EXERCISE: none REFLECTION: a good meal does make me contented, distractions abound tho WEEK 1 REFLECTION: How do you feel about the way you ate this week? Was much more in tune with my thoughts and feelings than usual. Glad to have taken first steps. Did you become clear on any thoughts or emotions that lead you to eat out of anything other than hunger? Wanting something. At first I was scared to feel hungry and make “bad” choices. With my illness, I saw hunger as a good sign that my body was ready for food. Perspective! What is one intention you can set for the next week to align with a healthy mind and body? Hunger is a signal, not a failure of planning. We have a group coaching call each weekend. This weekend I realized how much my perfectionist self was trying to do everything in the program "just right", so I decided to stop journaling what I'm actually eating. That hasn't given me new information in the past. Let me know if this is totally boring. I can always keep the info offline for myself. 2 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
