    Just for today I will eat for strength until my monthly feast day. I lost 5 pounds in 3 week. It's like watch my hips and thighs melt off of my pear shaped frame! In July it will be a loaded blooming onion at outback steakhouse and crab stuffed lobster tail.

    Since I sprained my ankle, not doing so well, both with food intake, and exercise. Now, time to get back to walk/exercising, and eating better. Our grandson was here last weekend -- way too much junk food. In another week the other grandson will come, but no excuse. I can eat healthy, even if grandsons and DIL want chips, etc.
    SO JFT, Tuesday, July 19
    1. tomorrow is my 65th birthday. Start today with getting healthy, by making healthy food choices.
    2. get back to walking. If it is too hot, I now have a gym membership, so get to the gym -- NO MATTER WHAT!
    3. log all my food intake.
    4. NO SUGAR!!!! Sugar not only makes me grumpy and feel sluggist, but terrible for me
    5. DRINK WATER
    6. get back on here tomorrow - no matter what -- I be ACCOUNTABLE!!

    I missed all you guys. You are all the best with so much inspiration and encouragement!!

    @joan6630 I missed you too. Love that you are back. I have been in slump for no good reason but it's easier just knowing you are posting again, friend. I hope your ankle is on the mend. My granddaughter is funny, she likes junk food but if I have dressing or dip she will eat sugar snaps, carrots, celery, anything she can dip, and strange child prefers beans or edamame for her main course. It's not that she won't eat meat, she just likes beans. Of course she also like pizza, chips, chocolate, ice cream...

    See you tomorrow! On your birthday! (Mine was yesterday :) )

    JFT 19 July2016
    1. Log
    2. Drink 48 oz of water minimum

    7. Do beginner's kettle bell routine; look at new Simple & Sinister book for guidance

    Did not do so well today -- but now the sugar is OUT of the house. But the good thing was that I logged every cookie. I did get to the gym, and that felt good. So tomorrow I am hoping to get up early before work, and do 1 hour at the gym!
    Oh - this latest quilt is a quilt I just finished for my dear brother. These are all his Harley Tshirts. My brother found out in Januaay that he has major heart problems - and on 9 medications. He is my only surviving sibling out of 6. Since I don't know what his future will be, as his heart is only pumping at 30% (up at least from 10%) so I was in a rush to finish this quilt and send it off to him. I am making 2 more identical ones for his sons. Great therapy for me!
