    Hey everyone
    The sun is back in England. The whole of July was a write off for nice weather, it mostly rained.
    But now the sun's back and in a typical English-weather fashion it's now too freaking hot.

    Everyone's hot, everyone's sticky, everyone's in some ratty mood. I've got to go food shopping today 😭 and I wish I had exercised through July now lol!

    My in-laws brought the garden furniture round so we have a rattan sofa in the garden now.

    Sat down in the sun on it for two minutes yesterday until I was like "nope, too hot".

    We bought a reflective film to stick on our bedroom windows to reflect the sun or something. Just haven't got round to doing yet.
    I've never done it before and will lose my mind if there's bubbles on the window. If I wanna do something I want it to look good!

    I did much better with water yesterday and I slept a little better last night. My stomach is causing me discomfort this morning though.

    Part of the elimination diet I’m on is to slowly eat larger and larger amounts of trigger foods to see what your tolerance level is. Apparently one granola bar a day for three days in a row is more than I can handle. At least I’m figuring things out even if it temporarily puts me in pain.

    I had a nice visit with my mom yesterday. She hasn't been getting out a lot, so she was especially happy to see my daughter and her boys. She had tacos for the kids, and I brought along the ingredients to make a tart with some of the gorgeous multi-hued heirloom tomatoes I'd picked up at the farmer's market. A zillion calories with the puff pastry base and feta-mascarpone layer, but such a treat! After lunch, I helped my older grandson pot some begonias before the light drizzle turned into a steady downpour. No real exercise, but we all enjoyed the day.

    Recap - Thursday, August 9
    Log - :)
    Healthy food choices - No
    Under calorie limit - :) Light dinner, but I'm still surprised I managed this.
    Hydrate - :)
    Exercise - No

    @Snowflake1968 I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Losses like that are so hard to make sense of.

    I'm totally not feeling it today. I showed up to work, but I was 15 minutes late and I'm dressed way down... I am the boss now, but it isn't setting the best example. Of course I did start working at home an hour before I got here, but people don't know that. They just see me strolling in at 8:15. Anyway, busy day ahead. Work, then going to the bank to see about a home improvement loan to redo the kitchen and 1 bathroom. They are big ticket items so we'll need a loan to get it done. Hopefully our bonuses in March will pay 80% of it, but until then we need to go this route. The unexpected new car purchase last month puts us a little tight on cash flow, but we don't want to put off the remodel any longer.

    After work we are dropping of Elliott at my SIL's for a sleepover while we go to Akron to watch Sierra run the half marathon there Saturday morning. It's a 6:30am race and we live 2.5 hours away so we are definitely going up tonight. After the race, V is going to drive on to Kent and meet her roommate for the first time and we are going to come home and go to the River Trails & Ales Beer Festival. It should be a good time. A lot of people come out for it, and I get to see a lot of old friends from my riding days. I'm looking forward to it!

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 8:00 :(
    - Work stuff
    - Check in with MFP
    - Eat small meals
    - Bank
    - Shower
    - Dog drop off
    - Drive to Akron
    - Dinner with family
    - Early night

    I did much better with water yesterday and I slept a little better last night. My stomach is causing me discomfort this morning though.

    Part of the elimination diet I’m on is to slowly eat larger and larger amounts of trigger foods to see what your tolerance level is. Apparently one granola bar a day for three days in a row is more than I can handle. At least I’m figuring things out even if it temporarily puts me in pain.

    That must be a nightmare. Sorry you have to go through this to figure out what's causing the problems. I hope they find out what's going on soon!

    Recap - Friday, 8/12
    Log - no
    Healthy food choices - no
    Under calorie limit - no
    Hydrate - :)
    Exercise - :) Hiking and kayaking

    Taking a break from logging/calorie limit while on a short trip with my daughter and grandsons. I could make healthier choices than I did today, but the ice cream was calling and it is vacation. Well, at least I'll get plenty of exercise.

    Hope you all have a good weekend <3

    JFT Saturday 12thAug

    Log everything everything until I snacked in the evening
    Stay in the green no
    Only one snack 2
    Foot exercises yes
    Back exercises no
    Sort out charity donations most of them

    It's wild and wet today, looks like an indoor day!

    I was way off yesterday, way over at 1600 calories even before I had some crisps and a glass of non alcoholic wine in the evening. Just felt very unsettled all day and wanted to eat. It's not even as though I have a reason for feeling unsettled, both sons have problems to deal with, but they are adults and need to make their own choices, I do not need to be involved. I guess because I see and hear what is going on in their lives I'm still affected by it.
    That was coupled with a wet day so I couldn't get out in the garden. There was a short period of dry weather in the afternoon and I thought I'd take the dog out, but my son had gone off with her harness and lead in his car. So ball throwing in the garden instead. I have so much to do inside the house, but I don't want to do any of it. I don't do well with extra "stuff" lying about the house, and there's quite a lot just now, still bits from my deceased parents, and quite a bit from my business which I'm selling. Sometimes I feel like throwing the whole lot in the bin and having nice empty cupboards, but I wasn't brought up to waste things. Another car boot load should go to charity next week. I also struggle with "it might come in handy one day", I have to let go!

    I'll attempt to log today, but not sure if there will be any eating out. i'm going out with my sister-in-law this afternoon, weather is very iffy but fingers crossed we don't get wet.
