After a terrible day yesterday I had a lovely evening at the theatre with my mum. We went to see the staged concert of Les Miserables with an all star cast and it was amazing. So today I woke up feeling a lot more positive and have gone out and done my long run for the week. So glad that it’s out of the way and I can stick to shorter ones for the rest of the week because it is super hot and quite uncomfortable. Still off strength training as my finger has not healed yet and the glue and strips came off so I’ll need to be quite careful with it. Mostly boring jobs for the rest of the day - maybe some cheeky sunbathing if it stays sunny....
Monday goals recap:
- print ticket confirmation email ✅
- stop snacking, you’re not hungry ✅
- hydrate ❎
- theatre with mum✅
- bed by midnight ❎
Tuesday goals:
- morning run ✅ 10 miles, scorching hot, glad that’s over!
- hydrate
- go and buy white paint at discount store
- go and buy coloured paint at DIY store
- online groceries
- salt in dishwasher and set water hardness level??
- Descale kettle and clean coffee maker
- coffee with N?
- bed by 104 -
Good morning!! Yesterday I was doing really well until I got stressed out at night and went off the rails a bit. It's not the stressors fault so much as it is my own and I need to take responsibility for that!
When I came home from work the neighbor stopped me and came over to tell me that the previous homeowner had been by saying he wanted to pick up some plants from the yard and some tools he left in the garage. It has been over a month! He has already been told by the realtors that he is not to come back to the property. He even said to the neighbor "nobody is home, do you think they changed the locks? I still have a couple of keys." The neighbor told "him don't even think about it you will go to jail for that!"
I am just kind of in shock about that whole thing that he would even think that is remotely appropriate to do! If he does try to come in though .. He will be met by two pit bulls so I'm not too worried about that part.. But just the whole thing is so weird and uncomfortable to me!
I just really thought this was all over with him but I guess not .. I need to not let that get to me though and stay in control of my eating, nobody can force me to eat more than I am supposed to, and today it will not happen! Also.. need to change the locks.
Yesterday 8/26:
1. Stay within calorie goal😔
2. Finish work at 5:20😁
3. Clean kitchen😁
JFT 8/27:
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Finish work at 5:20

Well I ran my race. Well I walked some also. With the walking it took me 20:22 so it could have been worse. Overshadowing that was my daughter (new profile pic) completing her 1st half marathon and meeting her time goal of 10:00/mile. It was 10:02/mile, but I told her that totally counts. She got 2nd in the 15-19 age group. Hubby ran the half as well. He was a little disappointed in his 1:50 time, but he is still coming back from injury and he ain't exactly getting younger.
Biggest thing in my life right now is college shopping for my oldest. She wants to row in college, so we need to get her 2K times down so she is competitive. Her coach says she's capable and she is stubborn as he!! when she sets a goal. We have a nutritionist evaluating her diet and will give feedback. I will have a rowing machine in my living room for the next year and I meet with a perspective personal trainer for her tomorrow.
Cool thing that Sierra did... All of the female athletes from her High School were invited to a Leadership and fitness day hosted by the marines. They did all kinds of exercises: runs, ammo box overhead press, teamwork exercises, etc. Then at the end they had a plank challenge: on the elbows, on the hands, side planks, plank jacks, walking planks,etc. through all of this you couldn't break form. The last three girls had to add in military push ups. The last two girls were stopped after 27:30 of planking/push ups. I can barely do a minute. I can't even imagine >27 minutes. The marines told my daughter she did text book push ups and one told her her arms were massive. She truly is my fitness icon.

@aubyshortcake - the nerve of the previous owner. I would contact my realtor, maybe he can contact the previous owner. When we bought our place our realtors thank you gift to us was changing the locks. I thought that was brilliant.
@Faebert - glad you had a good day. What is “cheeky sunbathing”? I’m picturing a thong with your butt in the air. 😂
@maryrobinson40 - I’m happy to see you posting regularly again.3 -

I don’t know what got into me today. I was offered A&W for lunch. So I had a burger, fries and coke. I had made a salad to take to work and chose not to eat it. Then if that wasn’t bad enough, I decided pizza and garlic fingers would make a great supper with another coke. Can you say self-sabotage?
I am just not liking the healthy foods right now and I don’t know how to make myself do it. I’m not even exercising to burn any calories. Ugh!!!!!
I’m not giving up, on figure I’ll keep logging, weighing myself and posting goals and it will at least keep me aware of what I’m doing.

Omg @snowflake1968 nooooo!!!! This butt is too old and too flat for a thong! Must be a British thing but I meant cheeky as in it’s a bit naughty/indulgent to lie around doing nothing.3 -
I just took steps one, two, and three tonight. I feel so empowered to surrender the foods I overeat. I realize, I can’t moderate certain foods. It’s time for a real change. #dayone4

Sleepless night last night... not sure why. Gonna turn that into a positive somehow today.
