    Recap R 9/6
    1) Finally! Dew point was 51 & comfortable, temps nice & cool to walk dog before work / 3.68 mi 1:01:59 = happy dog :smiley: & happy me :smiley: can't use sunglasses smiley, since sunrise is at least 20 minutes after we leave the house (hate getting up in dark, and it's only going to get worse!) ~ reflective gear needs to come out pretty soon
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 15,237 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 40 floors :smiley:
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories green / > 12c water = Snack after supper of string cheese & net calories -88 :( , sodium 1,252 (ack) >:) , sugar -24, fiber excellent, protein ok & 12c water :neutral:
    4) Find most recent weekly weigh-in post & update :smiley: / same for most recent monthly goals :smiley:
    5) At work: complete at least 3 samples = Good progress, only 2 more samples left to test then final stage :smile:
    6) Evening: make veg soup for supper now that weather is more seasonable :smiley: yum! / bake banana zucchini bread :( too tired / boil eggs :smiley: / drain rain barrel :smile: so much rain, need more containers / look up race packet pick-up info for Fri. :smiley: pick-up hours 4-6:00 East HS cafeteria / more to-do's? made hummingbird syrup & refilled feeder, kitchen compost bucket out to bin :smiley:
    7) Unplug 9:30 :smiley: / floss :s / retainers :s / bed & TV off 10:30 :smiley:(walk dog before work F)

    JFT TGIF 9/7 ~ Turned off early alarm & did not walk dog before work (dog jumped on bed to snuggle between me & hubby). <3 Decided to listen to my exhausted body & sleep another hour. Lack of sleep is not my friend (low energy & make unwise food decisions). :#
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    2) Forgot that it's monthly bday celebration at work building... logged unexpected food as snack & will prelog rest of meals for today. Since I'm taking 2nd rest day this week, keep net calories w/i 100 green. Drink > 12c water.
    3) Evening: pick up race packet for tomorrow / prep bib & clothes for Sat. a.m. / bake banana zucchini bread / other to-do's?
    4) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / bed & TV off 10:15 (leave for 5K by 7:10 a.m.)

    @PackerFanInGB @mytime6630 Yup, that 3" in height means I should weigh 20 more pounds less but I think I'm going to aim at the 150, see how I feel, sit there for a while, and then decide what I'd like to do. My BP has been acting up. Apparently seeing stars can be one of them indications to get it checked more often. I was at the pharmacy during one starshow so I took a measurement. The pharmacist turned white as a ghost when it came up 80/35. Hubby wouldn't stick around to remeasure it again.

    Wow -- that is low for your blood pressure!! I also tend to have very low blood pressure ... the lowest I've gotten was 76/40. I can usually tell though ... I tend to get very light headed and have to sit down. We have a BP monitor at home. My doctor said he could give me meds to increase my BP, but I really don't want to do that. He tells me I would also have more energy. But I just hate taking any meds if I dont have to. Hope you feel better soon. And yes, that would be awful to lose 3"! So far I am still 5'11" ... so I'm still pretty tall!

    You all have been so busy. Can see it, just can not read it. Surgery went well and I can see much clearer at distance. Bad news-my mirror is at the distance I can see and wow, am I old and saggy. I need to drink much more today. Else no exercise until next week and wear goggles. Scale at hospital said 188-that's 2 less than previous but 50 to go. SATURDAY=think we are going somewhere to help with a Navy Seal Run. Calories watching, water drinking, and try to walk about a bit (I don't run). Yard badly needs mowing but want to give eyes a few days. I love Autumn but not hot mess.

    Ah man after today I can't get anything done. Not tidying, not even having a bath. I'm absolutely shattered.

    Not sure what my goals are gonna be tomorrow. I really want to relax.. Or SLEEP. But I'm sure the kids will be up bright and early. I might just set the girls up with dvds for the day so I can go read or something.

    Night all, signing off for the night! Too tired to even be on here lol!

    And on a completely unrelated note..
    I just cracked this open..

    @Snowflake1968 Yes, pickles totally count as a vegetable!

    Reasons I will NOT make brownies tonight:
    1. The oven makes the house hot and we don't have A/C
    2. My spanks are already tight enough that when I pull them off I have to fight the urge to paint my face blue and white and run through the house waving them over my head while screaming "FREEEEDOOOMM!"
    3. I'm on track for today - no need to bugger that up!
    4. I'll feel really good in the morning when I wake up knowing that I didn't bugger things up today.
    5. They're kind of a pain to make.
    6. It won't just screw me up for today, because I'll keep eating them until the whole batch is gone which will likely destroy today AND tomorrow (I'd like to say that it'd mess up 4-5 days, but realistically I'd eat the whole batch between tonight and tomorrow).
    7. There are a million better things I could eat - like a bowl of cereal - easier to make; fewer calories; no hot house; only mess up today!

    LMBO... You're funny...😀😂 "the spanks part"
    Totally proud of you! I needed that laugh.

    I've had a well poop day today.

    You know I said I dragged the pram up the stairs on the canal yesterday? Well it turns out my back doesn't approve. Pulled a muscle from what feels like top to bottom!
    And I know alot of you will hate me saying this as I'm the "baby" of the group but man I feel so OLD. I never got aches and pains like this even in my early 20s!

    Anyway having a sore back has just made me proper miserable. Hoping it's a bit better tomorrow..
    I think it gets me down because I know that I just have to push through because of the kids and my partner. Whereas ideally I'd like to sit and rest all day I just can't do that.

    My partners had a poo day too. He lost his temper this morning and broke some glasses in the bedroom. So i had to clean all the glass up and wipe the Vimto off the walls. Got a tiny bit of glass in my foot too but got it out pretty quick!
    Tbh I'm glad that's all it was. The neighbour has been renovating the house since Casey was born, and they come at ridiculous times. Drilling on our connecting wall at 8.30am?! It's not the owbers fault it's the builders as. She doesn't live there. Anyway my partners the kind of person who will go in the house and take the drill off him and throw it in the road and break it. And I'm surprised it's taken him 6 months to really lose his temper! I've had to go round 3 times to tell them to stop making so much noise and certain times.

    Anyway enough rambling.
    Still in a bit of a mood myself so might pop on a bit later

    Hey! I saw MLS had a great day. And as I type, I think maybe FLORENCE has arrived. Just needed rain here--no big worry at all.
    Can not read at all. So tired of the fuzz and need to see. Got into a SCAM today and am just that perturbed that I haven't let it go. Did watch calories-too tired to eat. Did not drink enough so maybe take iced water to bed. Son already behind in school but technically, we did the missing item today. Took FOREVER. Went to volunteer at the 9/11 Run today as a bag filler and hander out person but they did not need me after an hour or so. Kids learn about 9/11 but not the same as my recall of that day--9 year old son did not even really note there was a reason for the run or salute to first responders. Heck, he was not even thrilled by the Virginia Beach mounted police/horses. Some great ROTC kids did the colors and a running mom sang the anthem. WOW-she was great. Will return to the Military Aviation Museum which I had not known and there is a neat little park of metallic dinosaurs. Going next week to see a Viking ship and then on the 21 we are going on a 2 hour ride of a sailing ship in the Bay.
    Ok-SUNDAY-as usual, Do NOT be late to church. Calories will be my thought and drinking water my floater! No idea what I can pull out of dryer to wear but then maybe -nope, no nap. I need to get back to exercise-will check the Y for fall schedule and maybe even just walk in rain. Yard is a jungle and I do not know when I can mow again even if eyes are better due to rain. Oh well, my moment will come.
    Hope all is well with you and yours.

    Nailed it! I ate 3 meals today. No snacking!! Whoop Whoop! First time this has happened in a while for me.
    I didn't workout due to some unexpected short travel, but I'm okay with it. I'll go for a nice run tomorrow morning.

    Woot Woot!!!! Nice! I don't think I could do it, so I'm impressed!

    JFT - Saturday
    1. Go run! I'm SO excited about this. Things have been so crazy that I've only been able to run once a week for the past month or so. The upside to that is it means I'm always looking forward to running. The downside is that I've gone from back-of-the-pack jogger to frequently-passed-by-walkers snail. Today I'm going to explore a new trail. I have no idea how long it is, and I can't wait to find out!
    2. Eat 3 times - no snacking
    3. ab workout

    As a fellow slow runner I have always appreciated this quote: “no matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch.” The only person you’re really competing against is yourself. Do what you can and that will be good enough!

    That quote was what I kept telling myself through my whole run this morning! It was great to get back out there, and I know I'll get back to running more often eventually - life's just nuts right now, and it means my hard-fought-for 10-11 minute miles have slid back to 12+ minute miles.

    I did run 4 miles today though! I found out that the new trail is 1.9 miles long - a very nice distance to run out and then back!
    I ate 3 meals and 2 snacks, so TOO MUCH. I'll try it again tomorrow.
    Add in my completion of my ab work out and I've achieved 2/3 goals.

    I'm calling that a decent day, though to be honest, the over-eating is my biggest concern. It has to stop. I should probably start actually logging my food again, but I just don't want to. Maybe I'll suck it up and do it anyway this week. We'll see.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful evening!
