    Yard sales! Love 'em, but not going because I need to get rid of all my junk.
    Sighed to read of doctor woes here and there. Two appointments this week coming up.
    Was going to try that keto diet but after looking here and there, guess not. Just looks too tight on carbs. I am more of a South Beacher but truth is need to keep mouth closed mostly.
    So today have quit Keto with a big old piece of chicken. I also had fruit and then drank son's pop. Son is outside howling like a wolf so will have to go reign him in. Went to store and bought him a new keyboard and it works great.
    Party tomorrow and it is on my mind. Will get up early to cut melons and clean strawberries. Not making the dip that goes with it just because I would have to eat it and lick bowl.
    Okay, holding the line rest of day on calories. Probably not going to exercise or MOW but I will check Y schedule.
    Tomorrow, I will think about every calorie when at party. I can fast through breakfast and drink muchly to get pills down. I will think of some drink I can take that is primarily water. I will be on-time for church but not go to cemetery as we went earlier this week. Husband not there but we left a butterfly on grave. Son is still howling so off to rescue the neighbors from the beasts.

    I’m trying to get rid of junk too, I’m looking for stuff for my daughters wedding. So I get to have fun and store stuff somewhere else!

    Saturday

    Get off the bus 1 stop earlier after work and walk a bit more
    Write a shopping list for the wife so she can get groceries while I'm at work
    Not get freaked out by the number on the scales when I do my weekly weigh in (I nearly did though.... i need to remember that it isn't always about a big loss, but change of behaviour...or something!
    Write a gratitude list
    Track food 100%

    All done for the day! Thank goodness! I am so sore after work, it's really hard to stay motivated but the extra bit of a walk really made me feel like I achieved something today!

    Sunday
    • Prep some veggies for a snack at work
    • Drink an extra glass of water at work (so 4 ventis instead of 3)
    • Meditate at least once
    • Use the stairs rather than the elevator
    • Track food 100%

    Friday checklist --
    1. Log all food ✅
    2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
    3. Do at least one more go at walking video .. try to hit 10 minutes
    4. Get Hair cut ✅
    5. Get cash for Farmer's Market tomorrow ✅

    Well, definitely not a blazing success. But, I did log all food and stayed just under goal ... so that's good. My sister's in from out of state and we're spending the day together -- first stop is the Farmer's Market. I know with her I'll get in a LOT of walking today. Need to be especially careful with food today since we'll be eating two meals out in restaurants ... and she is not a good influence.

    Saturday JFT --
    1. Log all food
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water
    3. Walk, walk, walk
    4. Clean out car ✅
    5. Buy fruits & veggies at Farmer's Market
    6. Be extra vigilant with food choices today
    7. Spend day with Sis ... have fun!!

    Can someone tell me how to make the ✅ ... please?

    Have a successful day Y'all :smiley:

    @cesse47 Re the bolded - don’t know about everyone else but I type my posts in my notes on my iphone first and then copy and paste into posts here (means I can go back to them easily and update goals then copy back on to here at the end of each day or start of the next). When I type ‘done’ in my phone it gives me the green ✅ option. But if you type ‘tick’ on a post here on an iPhone it also offers you the ✅

    Hope that helps!

    @cschmitz110515 - great loss for the week - yay!

    @bcTRAI nice to see you back - 👋

    Had an ok day yesterday. Got in a good workout in the morning and made a nice dinner for the boyfriend. Fell asleep on his sofa last night. I think all of the emotion of the last week or so has hit me hard and I’m now shattered.

    Going to workout here this morning while he sleeps and then hopefully stick to the rest of my weekend goals of eating mindfully and getting some rest where possible too. Not at home so no laundry or housework at least! 😃

    Have a lovely Sunday all. X

    It was "takeaway" Saturday yesterday. And we had curry, my partner always cooks it. It was chicken tikka masala. It was really nice, when I was eating it though I said to my partner "it's a bit hot this for a masala" he then starts laughing his head off because he's only gone and put Naga Chilli paste in!
    For reference: Tabasco is 30,000 on the Scoville scale, the Habanero is 100,000, the Naga is 580,000! Hot hot hot. 💥

We walked the Market and our Downtown area, then later the Mall. We were able to spend almost 14 hours together and talked a lot. It was a great day. :smiley:

    What is “takeaway” I thought it was our take out, but if he cooks I must be wrong.
    I can’t handle spicy food at all they just cause me pain.

    Haha we call it our "takeaway night" so we will eat take-out cuisine but cook it ourselves. So instead of going to a take out we go to the supermarket and we buy expensive meat, expensive sauce and sides and stuff. It's tastier, healthier and cheaper! Plus I know exactly what's in it to log it!
    So no it's not strictly take-out. But just the same cuisine so indian, Chinese, pizza, Thai etc(although you can't replicate a takeout fish and chips lol that does have to be takeout!)

    It's been an emotional week for me. Having talked to a couple of people it's seems more and more like I had an early term miscarriage. Apparently they are fairly common. I see my doctor on Thursday with Matt so hopefully they can give me a firm answer. Between the heaviness, the terrible pain, the exhaustion and the missed period is been rough. But you know how you just feel like something's wrong? Even without all those symptoms something just felt wrong. I spent a lot is time sleeping this part week.

    I have a few things to do today but I honestly don't know if I'll do them. I kind of just want to relax. I went to a BBQ yesterday. I had a great time. I got to see a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while so that was nice.

    The new girl starts at the branch on Monday. That makes me super happy. It means we won't have to spend the whole day in the branch open to close any more.

    I don't think I'm going to set any goals today other then eating sensibly.

    I hope everyone has a great day.

    My heart hurts for you. Hopefully the doctor can help you figure things out. I think relaxing and doing nothing is the perfect plan for the day.
