Today starts a busy point in the month for me. My younger two kids have their birthdays today and tomorrow. Then Saturday (if the weather is good) we have the family party. We always let the kids pick a restaurant for dinner on their bdays and then we’re doing pizza on Saturday. Plus there will be cake and ice cream each day. I’ve been well under calorie goals this week so far. I’m hoping to balance out any high cal days coming up. 🤞
JFT THURSDAY:
- Log everything / stay green
- No chips
- Beach trip
- Pick up bday dinner and treats
- Prep for tomorrow’s bday poster/wrap presents
- Laundry / dishes
JULY CHALLENGE:
In an attempt to refocus this month, I’ve decided to try and give up chips. This will be extremely difficult. I eat them almost daily. They are my weakness. I’m using a bikini as my emoji, since that will be a goal for next summer!

Log everything
Stay in the green
Back exercises
5 Fruit and veg
Walk
Some more paperwork
I need to stop buying crisps (chips!) as well as chocolate, they are just too easy to pick up a handful. I do log them but I don't have the calories to spare. The local shop keeps offering them half price, not helpful to someone who likes a bargain lol.
I've been back on here 5 weeks and have lost 5lbs. but it's the 5lbs that I yo-yo up and down anyway. I feel the "real" weight loss starts here, and I'm finding it hard to get down to the next pound. I don't know where the first 5lbs have come off, my clothes don't feel any looser. If that internet picture of "what 5lbs looks like" is true then that's a big lump of fat, it must have come from somewhere lol.

Wednesday: all food logged
Thursday: log all food
I am pleased with myself because Wednesday I thought about not logging, since I knew what I was eating was going to put me over, but I logged it anyway. That has been a derailment spot for me in the past, and I am glad that I made the choice to keep logging and take the hit.4 -

Taking the hit's hard! But once you do it you realise you can move forward from it!
Well done for owning it! 💪4 -

Last night I had to go buy some bread for Rodger and when I left the house I said I was going to buy some chips for myself. I went to the store, walked down to the chip aisle the arrows were the wrong direction so I turned around and went to the checkout. I regretted it later in the evening because I really wanted them, but I made it through.
@Bex953172 - I asked for a deep fryer two years ago for Christmas, I don't know why I did that. I am happy to say though that I haven't used it in since before Christmas. How do you make your fries taste like McDonald's? Maybe I shouldn't ask that question. LOL
@mytime6630 - How long does it take to get the last 5 treatments? Is it a weekly thing? Is it the radiation causing the pain?
I had a tooth break that had had a filling just before Kaitlyn's wedding last year. I had a root canal and a crown put in in December, I was shocked that they could do anything with it because all the was left was one little tiny piece.
@musikalmami237 - Welcome!
@kuhl50 - It's really nice when other people start noticing, especially those that live with you as it's harder to see the changes when you see someone daily.
@littleblackskirt - I am floating around the same 5 pounds too and don't notice a difference at all in my clothes. I think it's closer to 10 before I start noticing a difference in my clothes. I need to make my goal to get back to the 180's at least before the end of August. Even 189 would be 10lbs.
I have to talk about chips for a little bit because it seems to be a downfall for us all. My best friend's husband is the plant manager of a chip plant and she is the office manager. I was talking to her on Monday night and she said they have had their busiest times since Covid hit, they usually hire students in the summer at the end of June to help with the lead up to Halloween. Since school was out they called students back in April this year to keep up with demand. I think chips are a comfort food and they are relatively cheap for a treat.
Ok, off for a meeting.

@Snowflake1968
Well I buy oven French fries rather than cut them myself from potato, fry them in sunflower oil for about 5 mins on 180C.
When they're done I put kitchen roll in a bowl, throw them in that, salt the life out of them (i have pink himalayan salt lol), then a sprinkle (i mean the tiniest sprinkle) of sugar.
Put kitchen roll on top, shake then serve.
Boom. McDonald's.. or close as lol. I nearly died when I first did them haha!2 -
^^^^^^
And I have officially ruined everyone's diet lmao.1 -

- Talk to T about action sceneWe had a 2-hour long video chat about life but also about both of our stories. She's my best friend and a fellow writer. We were introduced to each other by our other best friend last year. I met both of them on Twitter. Lol. We both came out with more ideas and ways to write and think about them. So I would say it was a whopping success. Plus it was nice to have a face to face chat as opposed to our three-person text messenger chat. Lol
Didn't do much of anything yesterday. Read a bit of my book and went food shopping. I don't really remember what I did with most of my day. Although I do remember that I did a bunch of Amazon shopping. I didn't really eat much either. Although I have noticed that if I eat half of a large chicken breast and some veggies it's enough to keep me full for most of the night. I just have to make sure to listen to my hunger cues as opposed to giving into needless cravings.
I'm only going to put a few things on my list today I think.

I guess I didn’t post yesterday. We traveled to the campsite yesterday. I walked In the morning. Had a pretty healthy dinner, then a few too many drinks.
Today has been busy. Got up at 6:00 thisMorning and walked. Then we rented kayaks and had to paddle them from the marina to the beach, ~45 min. Spent the day at the lake, and then had to paddle the kayaks back to the marina. I’m toast!
No real goals today but relaxing.2 -

I absolutely love kayaking. Its like the only watersport (? Is it a sport?) I've done!
It was only a rental too just whilst we were on holiday. We were staying on an island called Kalymnos. But we got a boat over to Telendos, and on there there's basically a very small beach and there was like maybe 3 or 4 businesses on there. So we would go and have lunch over their in the restaurant because it was just so peaceful and beautiful but you could rent kayaks to go out on between Telendos and Kalymnos. I remember from the first time trying it I loved it lol!
There's a lake right near me where you can go kayaking. Funnily enough ive never been. Cant imagine it would be as nice as the Agean Sea lmao!2 -
@Bex953172 - I never would have dreamed the sugar! Maybe that’s what makes them so addictive.
@HEGoddard0928 - sounds like a great day yesterday.

Tomorrow we were supposed to get appliance deliveries (washing machine and garage fridge both broke last weekend) but I didn’t get a call. So I will have to eke out at least one more day with my currently clean clothes (or hand wash this weekend...was hoping it would get here first!).
Thanks for the support, everyone. It’s really nice to have this group to “talk” to. 😊

I've never had a McDonalds, but if they're as yummy as you say it's probably best I don't try one!2 -
@littleblackskirt - I would struggle with a deal on chips (crisps 😉) too! So hard to resist. I would also log all my chips and typically have room for them In my daily calories, BUT that one ounce of chips is more that 10% of my calorie allotment. I have found it much easier to stay green this month without them.
THURSDAY:
- Log everything🟢 / stay green🔴
- No chips🟢
- Beach trip🟢
- Pick up bday dinner and treats🟢
- Prep for tomorrow’s bday poster/wrap presents🟢
- Laundry🔴 / dishes🟢
Beach trip was fun and exhausting, but my middle daughter had a great birthday! Today is my youngest girl’s bday. We’re going on a bike ride. This is the first time we’re trying biking as a family. The youngest just learned to ride without training wheels back in March.
Funny, all the talk about McDonalds, because that’s what my daughter picked for her dinner tonight!
We’re planning a bday party this weekend, so I have a lot to do this afternoon to get ready for it.
JFT FRIDAY:
- Log everything / stay green
- No chips!
- Bike ride
- Pick up B’s dinner and cake
- Order cupcakes!

I am so excited for the day I can do a family bike ride!!
Saskias learnt, Marley has training wheels but she's far off from riding she has basically zero balance and trips over her own feet lol!
And Casey is obviously no where near close. I'm hoping though, when marley can do it properly that I can always stick Casey in a seat attached to the bike or something!
Well done on your no chops challenge! You're almost halfway! Keep going!!!1 -
JFT Friday
- breakfast
- Pack up camp
- Few hours at the lake
- Travel home
- Clean up tents, laundry & dishes

Looking forward to hanging at the lake a bit, but super exhausted today. There was a big loud party at o nearby camp site until about 2:00 am last night. Made it hard to get some shut eye.

Not dietary lol. Years ago, I didn't know they existed, I doubt there was a McDonalds anywhere near me.
Now, I'd have to do a 25 mile round trip to get one, and it's situated in a housing estate, not in the town centre where I might pass it when shopping. Just doesn't seem worth the effort, I dislike going into town anyway!

Thu 18: 149.2🤔
Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.

@kuhl50 - I hope that you get your delivery today and that they just forgot to call.
@littleblackskirt - I wish I had never had McDonald's, but man they are good fries! I grew up in an area that didn't have McDonald's or any fast food places actually as well. It would have been a 100 mile trip to the closest one. It was in 1986 when I moved to Ontario that McDonald's and I became fast friends. Then I moved back to NB in 88 and they still didn't have one, but then moved to Alberta in 96 and there is one on every street corner. I have two within a 3 minute drive from my house.
@SERmom3 - You are doing an incredible job with no chips! I need to mark down my days like you, maybe if I could see my streak it would help me keep it up. I avoided them again yesterday though! I hope your daughters enjoy their birthdays. My girls were 2 days apart, I remember well those joint parties.
I found some years worked better than others, some years the 2 year age difference seemed huge and other years not so much.
@pridesabtch - Hope you get some time for a nap today.
I am so glad today is Friday, I need a break.

Mary!! I, too, just jumped on today after a long long time to see how folks are doing. So happy to see you on here . You have made great strides! Maybe you're up on some weight, or have stayed the same, but the fact that you have more stamina is huge. The important thing is that you are making progress. Just this week I repurposed to get back on the journey and finish my weight loss race. I have re-focused, am ready to sacrifice, track, and exercise even more than I have been---I started Monday and have lost two pounds. Again. LOL. But this time it feels like when I was intense. I haven't been hungry but I've had to battle through cravings. I had gained back 10 of my 30---I am not going back to my Egypt!!! I want to push through and get this done---I'm 58 and we want to live the rest of our days thriving and moving, don't we?! Loved seeing you on here. I think of you and the others often. Peace and joy .
😍😁🤗🤗👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏 LMBO OK I think I have EMOJI'd out. Wait. One more😂
Yes ma'am. Awesome seeing you back. We're good for each other. I will be 56 on JULY 20.
Girlfriend you are so right about "not going back to Egypt". I feel ya.
Living is my motivation. Living on top of the world used to seem unattainable. As you know, everybody's not meant to have everything. But we all can have something. I want my better, greater life. I want and that's out of order of what David said in Psalm 23. The Lord is my SHEPHERD too. He's the Keeper of me. And while worldly things aren't necessary for HIM, He knows what we have need of here and it's for the asking. And when opportunities present themselves we go get it. And at times we have to get up and create our own opportunities. We have what it takes in us to make things happen and meet the needs we have. I am swinging these flabby arms and bouncing this belly girrrl. The struggle is real, but the pounds are going down.
CONGRATULATIONS on your return, THANK you for your show of love and sending this girl a shout out. Have a God Blessed weekend BEAUTIFUL lady.1 -

Another inch of rain overnight & this morning (rain barrels FULL), had time to squeeze in dog walk after rain stopped. Had crazy busy (for me) work at home day. TGIF! Finally a chance to post JFT.
Recap R 7/9
1) Wake hubby early & transport his vehicle/him to/from car shop
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (basement to 2nd floor) / 5 somethings
2) Search for halibut recipe / make couscous salad / net cals green / 14c water but supper delish
3) Work from home / review audit request in preparation for tomorrow's call = 2x
4) 4 home chores / maybe walk dog or x-train in evening? no energy, very hot & humid, thunderstorms moving in
5) Unplug 9:00 ??? / floss / retainers / set alarm (walk dog early) raining anyway
JFT F 7/10
1) Walk dog 3.76 mi 1:05:23 cooler but at least 90% humid
happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (basement to 2nd floor) / 5 somethings
2) Eating up leftovers / net cals green / 14c water
3) Work from home / 9 a.m. call w/ JJO / 10:15 call w/ LTC guy / Facebook Live noon / submit daily & weekly status reports & update Project Status s/s
4) Banking / Walgreens / update financials
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / prep for a.m. farmers market
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2.1.20 / 2.29.20 / 4.1.20 (forgot 3.31.20) / 5.1.20 (forgot 4.30.20) / 6.3.20 (forgot at ME again)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
