    I've not posted in a while. Nothing much so say about my lack of trying.

    I've been creeping a bit, but didn't really have anything to add.

    Just in case you've forgotten, y'all are wonderful.

    JFT 7/18/19

    Drink lots of water :/
    60 minutes intentional walking :/
    Tackle To Do list :/
    Eat within Calories :/
    Mostly Healthy Choices :)

    Going to pick up pizza for dinner so not the best health wise but might squeeze in a quick workout first. I am exhausted today. So ready for bed but we have in laws coming and there is no way I can handle that without a drink. :D

    Hey all! So happy to see my JFT friends' profile pics. Made me smile. Been away, MIA, struggling with emotional eating as always. But I don't ever go away for long...I'm not a quitter and I'm going to do this.

    @Snowflake1968 I'm sorry to hear about your hip pain! Dang, you had to have fallen hard to hurt yourself in a bouncy house! I can't wait until I find time to catch up on what's been going on. I still don't know where you are working and I think it is awesome that it's close enough for you to walk to work! I hope you love it, whatever it is. It's much harder to get on and keep up when you have a busy job and can't find time to hop on during the day, isn't it? I really struggle because my priority is JFT and MFP in general, but my employer doesn't necessarily agree. :mrgreen:

    @bookmeister86 I'm sorry to hear you didn't get to meet with your CEO. I was so excited to see that and then a few posts later you wrote that it was cancelled. I know that there is a perfect fit out there for you. It's coming when you least expect it! I'm so jealous you are on holiday! I don't get one this year and I physically and mentally feel that I really need one. Where are you going? Somewhere awesome again, I just know it! I live vicariously through you, ya know! :heart:

    @Faebert I don't know what's going on because I've been MIA but wanted to share that I also keep a gratitude journal. I write in it each night...5 things I'm grateful for that day. Sometimes it's hot water and a roof over my head and sometimes it's something much cooler and much more exciting! But just think how much harder life would be without those things... It keeps me on the right road some days when I'm feeling really down. I hope whatever has you down fixes itself quickly though because you are so awesome!

    @Bekka4Lee WELCOME! How cool is it that this group made it onto Twitter!?! lol! We are so cool... ;) I'm happy you are here!

    @nlmackey98 Keep on creepin'! We all do it, and it helps keep us going sometimes. (((HUGS)))

    @HEGoddard0928 GET THOSE DISHES DONE! bwahahaha! Always makes me laugh, you and your dishes... :lol:

    @aubyshortcake Congratulations on the closing of your house! It's so exciting!

    @Bex953172 That is the cutest little hat!! I love the colors and how soft it looks. She will love and apreciate it!

    I wish I could write to more people but I have to do more reading and catching up first...oh, and I should probably write some goals even though it's time to go home for the day. Love to all! :heart:

    Terri, you are doing great! I always wonder how you and @Snowflake1968 are able to keep up with the Women Over 50 thread! I try to follow, jumping on in the beginning of the month, and then I find myself pages and pages behind very quickly! I just love that group so I do hop on as often as I can to see how everyone is doing, but I really give you props for being able to keep up! :heart: Where are you going on vacation? I will have to live vicariously through you and @bookmeister86 !! :smile:

    @littleblackskirt - I haven’t logged properly for about three weeks now. I really need to get back at it. It won’t be today though. I was so tired, cold, a bit depressed by the weather that when hubby suggested pizza for supper I agreed. I usually just get one for him and avoid it myself but I ordered a stuffed crust for myself. I ate more than half of it too! I’ve also had a chocolate bar and a bottle of coke tonight. Tomorrow is a new day.

    @nlmackey98 - you’re pretty wonderful yourself!

    @PackerFanInGB - nice to see you!!!!! I love when you pop in and say hi. I didn’t fall hard but i fell awkwardly. The bouncy house was wet as it had rained off and on. The photographer asked my friend and I to move to a different location so that she could get a better shot. My left leg slid out to the side almost straight out and I went down. I heard something pop, but think I have just pulled a muscle or tendon. I guess 50 year olds don’t belong in bouncy houses. 🙂
    I am struggling to keep up with the Over 50 group, this job is killing my social media time.

    @Bex953172 - I love the hat! I tried crocheting once and couldn’t do it.

    @TerriRichardson112 - my hip is better as long as I’m taking pain relievers. I’m hoping by the first of the week I can stop taking them.

    @maryrobinson40 - you are such a beautiful inspiration. I wish I could meet you in real life one day. I love you.

    Morning all, huge NSV for me this morning. Set out on my run and went about 100 yards and suddenly stopped and thought I couldn’t be bothered. I often feel like that before I set out but this is only the second time I’ve started and then stopped. Started to walk back and then told myself to just do it. This is my last morning without the kids here, my last day of work before the summer holidays, and I want to finish strong. So I started again and nailed a fast 13km. V proud of myself. Downside is I’m going to work in the rain with wet hair as run out of time but never mind! Did well at the party last night. I ate before I left and just ate fruit and drank diet soda as I would rather have my treat night tonight with the bf. Overall feeling good.

    - put away laundry ✅
    - make cake icing ✅

    We are off to Connemara on the West Coast of Ireland. It's a 6 hour drive. I won't have time to read or comment in the morning as we are travelling from early morning. I will log in as and when. Lol!

    I dip in and out of Women over 50, and have more time than a lot of others as I no longer have to work for a living.

    Today's goals: on target for an early getaway tomorrow morning.

    😎 Have a fab weekend, fitfam! 💕💖💖

    This is why I am so frustrated with our weather! The furnace just kicked on again for the second time this week.

    I haven’t logged food again today, but I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow to buy some healthy food and hopefully get back on track. I need to figure out some stuff for lunches but I really don’t know what it will be.

    @clicketykeys - hugs! I know that back to school anxiety and it’s horrible. But you give yourself so much to do outside of schoolwork. Is there anything else you can pull back on to make it easier? X

    30-60 minutes exercise
    Relax and don't try to control everything!
    Drink lots of water


    Crazy busy day yesterday but just tried to do the usual. I thought I mostly succeeded but hopped on the scale this morning and was up in weight. Made me realize that I need to go to 1x per week because getting on every day used to be motivating but right now it's just annoying. Also, due for my period anyway and that usually messes me up so no point. Going to start weighing on wednesdays so I don't get obsessed with the number on the scale. I feel great and even though I'm far from perfect or my goal I need to focus on how I feel daily and go with that. I told myself that when weighing every day became a fixation I would stop so that's what I'm doing. Putting it on here for accountability! Have a friend and her kids coming to visit overnight during a heat wave that's supposed to get up to 110 today so we'll be indoors mostly or at the pool. Hoping to get lots of cleaning and exercise in this morning so I can enjoy her company later and not stress out.
    Hope everyone has a great day!

    @Faebert - enjoy your summer holiday.

    @korina75 - the daily weighing is one thing I haven’t stopped and it’s keeping me aware at least.

    I’m leaving the house for a while today. Hubby is going to cause issues.
