So, looks like I forgot to log in on Saturday - I have lost my huge streak, noooo!
I have also gone crazy for a bit longer than I anticipated. The scan revealed an immense tumour 20 x 13cm - it's the size of a 20 week baby! I'm calling it Eric. Eric is like a character in the cult film Withnail and I - he demanded the finest wines. And cake.
Luckily lymph nodes don't look bad, so we're assuming benign. Big old surgery coming up. This thing is mahusive.
I knew I was secretly thin!
Okay, so there's risk, and there's still a slight possibility of C, but cross your fingers and toes. I'm waiting on dates and times of appointments now.
So, I've done some steps - including more dancing.
I've drawn a line this weekend in the crazy. Looking after myself from now on.
17th - 8052
18th 10845
19th 11877
20th 7146 (went to docs that day, got a lift)
21st 15515
22nd 14658 -including dancing
23rd 11757 - walk by seaside and climbing castles.
Here's a view from yesterday - Southerndown bay viewed from Ogmore in Wales. Better known as Bad Wolf Bay in Doctor Who. Bleakly beautiful.
nice view Please do look after yourself And I hope all turns out well2 -

Week 4 Team Challenge - Mindful Eating
This is in response to a few of us stress/emotional eaters. This is when we are beginning to or in the middle of feeling out of control. It’s important to keep in mind that the cookie or chips we eat in these times doesn’t take away from the good choices you made through the day. A few suggestions to help us emotionally get past it:
1. Choose to eat without guilt
2. Allow them
3. Forgive immediately
Options or suggestions to choose from:
1. Eat a larger breakfast and lunch
2. Think about making choices as Good, Better and Best. If in the moment you really need something sweet or salty. If the 70% chocolate will help the craving then choose that without the guilt because you’ve made a Better choice.
3. Commit to drinking water (maybe flavoured water)/coffee or tea when we feel hungry. Wait 10 minutes and see if it passes.
Let the team know what option you are going to work on!
Mindful Estong Challenge
I'm going to commit to drinking coffee/tea when I feel not hungry but wanting to just munch on something.
I just read this after I ate a bite size chocolate. I didn't eat it mindfully. This time I'll try and make a drink than think it needs to be eaten with something.2 -

Tuesday check in
Calories under
Exercise weights, bike, elliptical
Nothing exciting to report. I'm watching my nephew and didn't eat one of the chocolate chip pancakes, I brought my own food. Haven't cooked anything new but bought tofu on sale for the first time, I'm not sure yet what I'll do with it but have enough dinners to explore recipes for now.2 -
On track, but haven't been checking in. My goal for July is going to be to check in regularly.
Saturday - almost stuck to the plan - morning workout, salad for dinner, two beers. But then it fell apart at my parents house - three glasses of wine and two pieces of pizza.
Sunday - took a rest day - my body needed it. Food was logged and under calorie goal.
Monday - ropes course workout. Food was logged and under calorie goal.
Tuesday - so far so good - 4 mile run this morning, workout group this evening, food is so far on track.3 -

Hey @KatMary - Here are two of my favorite tofu recipes, in case it helps you consider options. I am not attached to your being interested in either, but I happened to have just eaten Savory Baked Tofu as part of my lunch!
