Sad dog b/c I went to basement again for morning workout. Plan to walk her during daylight hours on my three day weekend when I can see clearly where the icy patches on roads are. Would love for temps to rise above freezing and melt all the ice. We'll see. Maybe hubby and I will even rake leaves that finally gave up and fell from trees.3 -
Thanks for the suggestions. And I agree with age is only a number. But from someone who has lost 5 siblings before the age they were 60 and both parents at just 74 I know I am not young. Guess I have a hubby that reminds me of this. His dad passed at 69 and he will be 70. But I am very active, I take no meds for anything so hopefully I ha e another 20 years3

Well lunch pretty well consumed my entire day's allotment of calories. Sigh... We went out to eat at a local pizza place and I ordered a small stromboli. I knew it was high in cals, but I ordered it anyway. I did not however realize just how high. I'm not sure on the cals because I just picked something close on MFP, but its a starting point. Of course, I'm not going to starve the rest of the day and there isn't really time for exercise so I'll probably just go over. I'll be mindful the rest of the day and call that a win.3

Eugh Saskia have nits. The word alone makes me itch!!!
We had to get a cheaper treatment cause we couldn't afford the 15min one so I've just sat for an HOUR!
But it worked as far as I'm aware, everything I combed out is dead, just can't get the eggs off? But the solution apparently kills them!
I'm gonna get ash to check my hair?3 -

Mytime6630 - I think your husband was quite insensitive. I agree with others though that you need to do what you need to do for your own health and reasons. Hopefully he is more supportive.
PackerfaninGB- I have been struggling since summer to get into a routine and resolution to stick to calorie goals. I need to get back at it as I’m not happy with myself and I feel I’ve let myself down.
Bex953172 - I feel so bad for you and the girls if they get them. They are awful to get rid of.

I had my goals all typed and ready to post this morning when I hit the wrong Done. I didn’t have time to go retype it all.
I have overeaten again today and not kept up with my water. I don’t know why I have struggling so hard with this. I really need to figure it out and get back on track.
My hip is still hurting but I can’t let it rule my life and it hurts just sitting as much as it does doing something so I might as well be doing.
My boss has decided to purchase 160 of our Christmas ornaments as gifts for the staff this year. We have a lot of work to do to get it done.

@Snowflake1968 Have you asked the doctor to do an MRI to make sure you don’t have a labradoodles tear? That’s what I walked around with for years before getting diagnosed. So painful!
I’m excited for you that you got a great sale from your boss! You go girl!1 -
I haven’t asked for an MRI she told me I tore the muscle that attaches to the bone in my butt. She gave me the actual name but I can’t remember it. She told me it would be a few months to heal and it is better than it was just not perfect yet.
I’m excited too, I am up for the challenge of it.4 -

Have been very busy this last few days, so no time to post on here. Managed fine on goals for Wed/Thu/Fri. Was able to stay in the green, and fit in my Physio am, and steps after dinner. Goals for today are at the end of this post. Winter weather has finally set in here, and it is mostly cold and wet. However, I managed a good outdoor walk yesterday in sunshine, despite the cold winds.

You can do sweet potato instead of butternut squash as well, I tend to do that as I find sweet potatoes much less faffy to prepare.....3 -
Hey ladies!
Sorry I've been absent. When I went to the gym on Tuesday I screwed up something in my stomach. I did a hard ab workout and now since then, I've had this terrible gas pain that I'm not even sure is actually gas. I've been taking Gas-X and it doesn't really seem to be working. Pretty much any time I eat anything or move around too much I get really uncomfortable. I wouldn't call it pain, it's more discomfort. However, I am feeling better today. I woke up this morning feeling pretty terrible because I slept poorly which I think made my stomach worse. But after Matt left for work I made myself get up and take a shower. I then ran a couple of errands and am now crashed on the couch. Lol. But I'm feeling okay now, so I don't mind. I just hope that I feel much better by Monday because school starts up again and then I'll have school all day and then my clients in the afternoon all week. I don't know how I'll survive all the movement if I don't feel any better.
I'm down 4lbs from Sunday too. But honestly, I think that might be more due to lack of eating and an increase in water consumption than any actual weight loss. But I'll take it nonetheless! I'm down to 182.4! I can't believe it!. This is the lowest I've weighed in a few months I think. Maybe I'll be catching up with Matt soon! Lol.
I'm only going to post a few small goals today to just get something down.
JFT, 11/9/19
1. Log all food
2. Drink 96oz of water
3. Unload/load/run the dishwasher
Have a great day everyone!4 -
@AJB1014 I had a soup in Amsterdam and it was AMAZING. Yet so simple. I'm pretty sure it was just spinach and potato. But put a little bit of crumbled feta on! I'll see if I can find a recipe close to what it looked like!
Also, you just reminded me I need to renew my driving licence I think it runs out this month, yikes.
If you change address you get a free one, but because I'm close to renew they won't do it, they just tell me to renew because o need to anyway, which I think is like £20. But it's £20 I don't have lol!
We get quite a lot of money week after next (around 700quid) which is our xmas shopping money but I doubt we will spend that much on everyone's presents. So maybe I could ask Ash to save some for my licence!
In fact someone on here remind me a week on Monday LOL!3 -

JFT Friday
- Work early
- Fun With Science show at Worthington Elementary
- Moderate lunch out with the gang
- Log all food
- Stay in the green
- no alcohol
- one treat in the evening
- Bible, gratitude journal
- laundry
- Maybe date night since the girls will be at the football game
Ended up with date night instead of laundry night. It shows a lot of, but it was not a bad day, just not what I’d planned. We went bowling so I got a little activity and ended my day less than 50 cal over. I’m calling it a win!
Today is starting out as a lazy, lazy day. I was asleep by 11:30pm last night and didn’t get up until 12:30pm today. I guess I needed some rest. Now I’m chilling watching WVU get their bums kicked by Texas Tech. I plan to do some laundry and maybe clean the floors upstairs. I might even go for a walk today. It’s a crisp sunny fall day with beautifully fall foliage covering the mountains.
I haven’t even been logging onto MFP on the weekends, let alone setting goals, so I think this is a positive step..
JFT Saturday
- watch football
- Do laundry
- Clean floors
- Log all food
- At least 32oz of water
- Go for a walk, hilly
- Date with Deuteronomy
Wish me luck.

Cool! It's about time I lost a few pounds. Tired of watching that number go up! I also would like to start new again on Monday!
@bookmeister86 Thanks! Also, thanks for sharing the butternut squash soup recipe! That looks delicious! I love butternut squash soup but have no idea how to make it. The only soup I know how to make is chicken vegetable or chicken noodle. 2 -
I’m almost at my maintenance weight, but planning to slowly reduce a few more lbs, so will continue with the challenge. Monday seems like a good idea.

I am so late posting today and there is no good reason for it. I was up before 7 this morning, I thought I heard a mouse. We had pest control out on Tuesday and I they set 11 traps. 6 under the house and 5 in. They will be back next week to check. It was $300 but worth it if they get rid of them.
I got up and read posts and checked facebook. I then decided to go buy a heater for our shed to see if I could handle it working out there to sand some wood. I did for a couple hours but then my hand slipped and I sanded my fingernail off down to the skin. This is going to be a painful healing process.
Tomorrow we are going to go to my cousins shop to see if we can use their industrial sander to do a lot at once. I hope it works.
