    I just read this article. It reminds me of some of the theme in the Phit_n_phat blogs. https://www.seattletimes.com/life/wellness/intuitive-eating-25-years-in-its-more-relevant-than-ever/

    @AlexandraFindsHerself our windows don’t have screens so we can’t open them since our kittens will get out. Unfortunately there is a coyote in the area so we can’t let them be indoor/outdoor cats. We would love a screened enclosure.

    Have you checked out the concept of a cat patio? We were considering building one at our future house before we moved, but since we have the sunroom, no need.

    @wanderinglight love your secret gym story! Well done for remembering why you were doing this...to get stronger!! Yip at 49 losing weight and exercising has a different feel to it, it's about being comfortable with your skin and finally making the right choices for yourself!

    @speyerj Yes, we are too much in our heads! That's why I love reading all these posts, inspirational strong women!

    @pamiede I'm so impressed with how you have handled your unexpected surgery. You are really committed to getting back to your walking. It's very inspiring!

    @CupcakeCrusoe: Yes, an emotional eating workbook that I've had on my side table for about a month now :* Anywho, it was recommended by my doctor's office and you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Eating-Workbook-Step-Step/dp/1626252122/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=emotional+eating+workbook&qid=1596202805&sr=8-3
    Can't give any reviews or recommendations but I'll keep y'all posted on it if interested.

    I'll move on over to the August thread after I consider new/continuing goals - #alwaysaworkinprogress

    Have a great day all!

    Name: Jane
    Age: 55
    SW: 286.5 (6/3/19)
    GW: 175 ? Not sure
    6/30 weight: 177.0

    Weekly tracking:
    7/4: 176.2
    7/11: 174.5
    7/18: 172.9
    7/25: 172.9
    7/31: 172.9

    July goals:
    Maintain my weight between 172 and 177 ✅
    Continue to log food daily ✅
    Run a half marathon ✅
    Continue to run 4x week ✅
    Get at least 45 "active" minutes a day✅
    Get at least 10,000 steps ✅

    Very pleased with how I did this month. I jumped up in weight mid week because hot weather makes me retain water, but I landed right back where I was 2 weeks ago.

    I've finished my learn to row class and joined the rowing club. I can sign up for rowing 3xs a week. Between rowing and running, I'll be getting plenty of exercise. They are great cross training for each other too.

    I want to give a shout out to @Pamiede for walking a mile today. And you lost weight, despite being in recovery from surgery. You are amazing. I'm so impressed.

    And @MuttiNM - Wow! An incredible rate of loss for you. It is unusual to drop so much in one week (especially when you'll already lost over 100 pounds). But I would guess that the big drop is a reflection of fat loss that might have happened weeks before and was just hid by water weight.

    @CupcakeCrusoe Great job on your 200 days. Enjoy pizza day. We are having Hawaiian take out.

    @pamiede great progress for this month regardless of challenges.

    @MuttiNM I do not know how you do it.

    @wanderlight looking forward to watching your progress on the August thread.

    @speyerj Nice to see you have rowing on the schedule.

    250.4 -249 not a lot of loss for the month but I am going in the right direction. See you on the August thread.
