Morning all. Nice and sunny here today and about to take the kids out to an indoor shopping centre! 😕 They have some birthday money that they want to spend on summer clothes and one of them needs new school shoes (which is particularly annoying as they have less than 2 months left until the end of the school year). Nevertheless, we will hopefully get it over and done with and still manage some time in the sun this afternoon. Had a bit of childcare help this morning first thing so squeezed in a Warrior class. A good start to the day.

- 2x reports ✅ 10 down, 19 to go

- leave by 5 ❎ stayed to help mark some tests for a colleague so it was gone 6
- hot yoga after work ❎ see above

Have a lovely Saturday all. @PackerFanInGB - you are still on my mind. Please keep us posted if you can. Lots of love x2 -
Happy Saturday everyone, I am near the end of my first week on MFP and I am thankful to everyone who post, because participating in the MFP community allows me to take a break from my own issues for a minute and see that real people are out there working diligently on their weight loss journey despite the obstacles life throws at them. So I can do the same.
JFT:
-Strengthen my relationship with Jesus by reading the Bible and applying it to my life
-60 minutes of cardio done in 4-15 minute intervals
-15 minutes of strength training
-Stick to my plan5 -
JFT 5/24 Recap:
30 minutes gentle yoga Nope. Did absolutely no exercise yesterday. I needed rest.
stay within calories Nope
Drink lots of water-fill bottle 2 times Drank some water but not nearly enough
10 minute meditation Nope
Make healthy choices at dinner out But then came home and ate half a box of crackers!
Enjoy my evening wine with hubby but don't go overboard! Had a good evening at least
Well, yesterdays goals were a total bust! Maybe my expectations were too high. I was a cranky b yesterday and needed a day off entirely so I'm not going to stress about it. Heading back to the gym today and will try to get in a nice long power walk too. I have an entire Saturday to do whatever I want and it's so weird! Spring season is finally winding down and it feels strange not to have kid stuff nor work to do today. I might go hang out with a friend at her pool today. I plan to enjoy my day!
JFT 5/25
60 minutes power walk
20 minutes HIIT run
10 minutes stretches (5 before/5 after)
Eat mindfully and enjoy every bite/drink

Why, why, why do we engage in self sabotage? I have spent this week on this group and even managed to lose 1/2 kg. I then proceeded to eat everything in site. I am shocked that once starting I don’t stop.
Back on the horse: Goals for Sunday
1. Log everything
2. Stay in green zone
3. Play safe with lunch at a family gathering
4. Walk for 45 minutes in the afternoon
5. Plan Monday’s meals
I sometimes think I need to see a shrink or have some NLP to get my head right. I also think that if I don’t eat enough it encourages binge eating.
Tomorrow is another day.4 -
Good morning! Yayyyy for 3 day weekends! I really want to stay on track this weekend. Last night I went over by about 80 calories, but ended the day still in a deficit so still did much better than the day before.
@ginnytez I think that's a wonderful way to look at things. The memories you shared are something you will have forever. Big hugs 💖💖
@jacqui2494 I definitely struggle with self sabotage and binge eating as well, I have as long as I can remember. We can do this though, one day at a time!!

1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁

Starting Today...3 -
Not much to report from the couch today. Good news is my pre-tracking and no after dinner snacking is paying off at the scale. Today will be a full day. The Oakland Mormon Temple is hosting public tour after a major renovation. My brother-in-law lives right next to the temple and we park in their parking lot all the time so the family is curious to see the interior of this magnificent building and gardens. The Mormons are wonderful neighbors. Eight of our family members are meeting at 8:30 for an hour tour. Then in the late morning some long time friends are stopping by for a visit. All of this activity is very welcome.
JFT 5/25/19
Pre-tracked to 1500 calories
PT exercises X2 (3 just isn't happening)
Make grocery list for the next 5 days (hubby will do shopping - he loves grocery shopping)
Whole fruits and vegetables for snacking
Read in the PM
Take care everyone - for those in the US enjoy the Memorial Day weekend and as @maryrobinson40 said Stay Safe.

I had a great day yesterday despite the food intake. I spent the day with Lauryn and Michaela, Lauryn bought me two shirts and a pair of pants that fit me for my Mother’s Day gift. We also bought some items to use to make the shower decorations for Kaitlyn’s shower in July.
I have both kids today and just Michaela tomorrow. Today I am going to stain the door, it rained yesterday so I couldn’t get it done.
Last night our furnace came on again. I am so ready for summer, there hasn’t been a day since Sept 13 that the furnace hasn’t kicked in at least once in a 24 hour period. That is over 8 months now!

@Faebert - I didn’t get a chance yesterday to really sit and comment. I am so sorry that you are having to make this decision, but so happy for you that it’s an option for you.
@nlmackey98 - I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s going to be hard, but you will get through it.
@maryrobinson40 - nice to see you posting again. I hope you feel 100% soon.
@ginnytez - Hugs to you. I can’t imagine being in your shoes. My husband and I have been married 32 years next month. I think that young lady gave you some wise words, but I also understand how you would want to lash out. Hugs to you.
@korina75 - I joined you yesterday not meeting goals, we can do better today and still enjoy our day. A pool date with your friend sounds wonderful!
@aubyshortcake - such wise words to @jacqui2494 I still have bad days, but they are getting further and further apart and I give this group so much of the credit for that! I find posting goals and coming back and being honest about how I did has helped me to reach the goals more often. I’m being accountable to myself and my friends.
@texnolan - not a lot of rules, post your goals, come back the next day to say how you did. We’re a very encouraging bunch and respect and show kindness to others.
@lafayettenana - I bet that will be a beautiful tour.
I realized after I typed the date and posted what the actual day is. On this date in 1967 my parents had a stillborn daughter named Lorna. I don’t know why but today I realized there is no one to remember and honour this date now except me. My Mom probably doesn’t remember, I’m not sure how my brother feels about it and how much thought he puts into it. In 1987 on this date my husband and I had a miscarriage. I was close to 3 months along. I remember calling my parents to tell them and they both were upset, I hadn’t thought what memories that would have brought up for them.

Hi all! I haven't been here for forever and I've missed all of you.
Reading the posts and seeing everyone having such a rough time I just want to hug you all for hours.
FYI I've had to retire from work which is a good thing, but for a not so great health reasons. For the same reasons, my garden is now gone.7 -
I just found this thread and see there hasn’t been any post since January 2019. But this is a super great idea! I’m looking for more motivation and encouragement and maybe this will enhance my weight loss journey and help me not to give up. My focus just for today:
is drinking 64 oz of water ( @least)...make more veggie selection in each meal.. track all my meals/snacks today! No stressing ! Live Laugh Love!!!5 -
clicketykeys wrote: »@Faebert - are you getting reconstruction?
I'm kind of bleh about Shortest Way Home. I may skip a few chapters and see if he talks about policy at all.
Yes @clicketykeys - double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. Pretty brutal op and recovery tough, but at least it’s just the one op. One sister had it done preventatively, the other had it done because she had cancer. My mum has had two separate mastectomies as she had cancer twice but didn’t get reconstruction. So i guess I’ve had a lot of experience about what to expect!
Wishing you the best! You're in good health and relatively young, so hopefully the recovery will be smooth and quick.
One nice thing about my reconstruction is that the implants are behind the muscle, so there's some internal support. I went up a cup size and I still don't need a bra most of the time. (I also recommend silicone over saline.) FAKE BOOBS!2 -

Had a lovely family day today. There’s always too many things to do, too many places to be so it was fab that we all made time today. We all cleared our day and asked favours for tasks that just had to be done so that we could take time without rushing about. We’ve booked another one for next month 😃

Welcome!! You may be reading the feed in an incorrect order bc this feed has been active all year. I've been posting consistently for about 30 days now.
I love your "no stressing" goal!! I need to do this more, Lol!! 👋😁2 -

Log accurately and catch up on yesterday's logging
Stay in the green possibly but need to log to find out!
5 fruit and veg
Fitbit excercise goals
Jan challenge
Feb challenge
Mar challenge 3 miles and I got wet!
Apr challenge not the best weather for enjoying views and walking but I did it. As my husband said "you won't dissolve in the rain"!
May challenge better than some days
It looks as if it's going to rain all day, hopefully there will be a dry spell for me to go for a walk. - it rained all day and tomorrow's not looking good.

You may need to log in, this is a very active board, but I have found that sometimes it reverts to January when it thinks I'm not logged in.
