    @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.

    @Snowflake1968 , I think we all have a pizza day occasionally. I may buy some today as a treat, the shop makes them fresh. I haven't had chocolate for several weeks now, as long as I don't buy it I'm okay.

    Hi all! Yesterday MFP wouldn't let me log in for some reason. But.. Today is the big day! We are so excited. Walk through is at 12:30 and closing is at 1. I'm not sure how much I'll be on this weekend but my main goal is to just stay at maintenance. You are all amazing!

    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:

    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! 💕💖💖

    @aubyshortcake - can’t wait to hear how your walk through went!

    @maryrobinson40 - happy Birthday!

    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

    JFT 7/20/19

    Healthy Choices
    Moderate alcohol
    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.
