    @Bex953172 - my kids have made some huge messes too. The only advice I have is as others have mentioned, make them help clean it, but also let them see your disappointment and how it makes you feel. Put it in terms they understand. “I’m sad because....” And definitely skip buying that cereal or whatever their favorite thing was in that mess. That way when they ask for it you can remind them why there isn’t any left. Good luck. 💕

    @Faebert - your morning runs are inspiring!

    @cschmitz110515 - the wedding pics are beautiful and I love your new profile pic!

    @Snowflake1968 - looks like the kids had a great time!!

    SUNDAY:
    - eat sensibly🟢
    - Sing for mass🎶
    - Phone appointment🟢
    - Laundry!🟢
    - Softball🥎
    - Indoor and outdoor chores🟢

    Despite not logging much this past week, the scale was down a pound. I felt pretty good about how much I was eating. It helps that I mostly eat the same stuff every day so estimating calories is a little easier.

    JFT MONDAY:
    - So much laundry to fold and put away
    - eat sensibly
    - Budget / unemployment
    - Teach oldest how to use new phone
    - Start writing product reviews
    - Pool chores

    Have a great week everyone!

    JFT - Monday August 17
    1L of water
    Log all Food
    No chips
    Gratitude Journal

    Well the Grands were up around 600. I’m glad I went to bed at a decent time last night. I have had them since Saturday at 10 and they will go home tomorrow afternoon.
    Their parents look like they are enjoying their camping trip.

    Today we will set up the sprinkler in the yard to keep them occupied for a bit and off of the electronics.

    My scale is up 2lbs this morning but I know it is all of the chips I ate the last two days. A couple days of getting my water in and eating properly will straighten it out.

    @littleblackskirt - oh I don’t know I think sudocream would be terrible! My cousin’s daughter rubbed Vaseline all over them when they were sleeping and then used powder on them. They had had a few too many drinks the night before and slept through it. That was a mess!

    @maryrobinson40 - Hello! Nice to see you!

    @cschmitz110515 - you look beautiful.

    I know there was more but I was interrupted when I was reading several times and now forget.

    Have a great day everyone!

    3) OAHC-PA review docs & conf call / NHC to-do list / GA-IT progress / sanitize conf room end of day
    4) Prep lunch/snacks/water bottle / one chore
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / eye drops / set 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)

    Wonderful weekend at niece's wedding Saturday, and with hubby on Sunday. I feel very blessed with my family. Thank you all for the compliments on my dress and photos.

    Didn't log food and I ate like it didn't matter. At least I didn't feel like imbibing much, so limited the adult beverages. Back to logging & accountability today.

    Early alarm went off this morning and I just couldn't face walk with dog (even though weather was ideal). I reset alarm & snuggled under the covers. Walk tomorrow a.m.

    2020 Goals:
    1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)
    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)
    9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk (some) & more basement boxes Feb. / basement boxes & home office (some more) Mar. / decluttered/cleaned in bedroom & more basement boxes Apr. / basement boxes May ~ very pleased w/ my progress / reorg in basement June & July
    Word for 2020: Persist

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

    Age 62, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 145 - 150 (need to be realistic)

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:

    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok

    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02/17 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:

    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
    11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
    11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
    11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week

    🍑The Peachy Bum Challenge 🍑

    Day: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

    🍑 🍑 🍑 💤 🍑 🚫

    ______

    I cant do it today. I just can't.
    I got up this morning feeling fine, no nausea nothing like that but I was just SO thirsty. Normally I find it hard to drink as soon as ive woken and normally just have to take sips but this morning I chugged a glass an a half because of just how thirsty I was.

    And ive spent all day throwing up. But im not even throwing up anything, I threw up the water and then just stomach acid i suppose?

    I just dont get it? As far as I'm aware ive not ate anything to make my stomach off.
    But yeah I've not ate today, i can barely hold down water so obviously there's not a chance I could do my workout today :(

    I'm gutted but these things happen.and ill make up for the missed day :(

    @Bex953172 Oh Bex! You just can't catch a break can you? I'm so sorry you're sick! Hopefully it doesn't last long.

    @snowflake1968 The Grands look like they had a good time! I think chips are okay when your granddaughter is feeding them to you 🤣 The Parmesan cheese story cracked me up!

    @cschmitz110515 You look amazing! And so does the bride. You have a very beautiful family!

    @teigansdad Happy Birthday!!

    @maryrobinson40 Good to see you!

      @littleblackskirt - oh I don’t know I think sudocream would be terrible! My cousin’s daughter rubbed Vaseline all over them when they were sleeping and then used powder on them. They had had a few too many drinks the night before and slept through it. That was a mess!

      @Snowflake1968 that is hilarious, I can just imagine them waking up and trying to work out what had happened! Your family make the best messes :)

      @ZizzyBumble everybody should be allowed some ice cream in the summer :)

      I had a decent day overall but it was also kind of annoying. Had to call it prescription insurance company to find out why a medication was so expensive. Set up to have it mailed here. Then I called the doctor's office to let them know that a script request was being sent to them. The receptionist said that she would just send a request over to the pharmacy herself. I told her I needed a 90 day supply. I got the alert from the pharmacy last night and the total came to $431. She only put in a 30 day supply and it was the wrong med. So now I have to call back today and try again. Just very frustrating.

      Onto some goals.
