I'm not going to look back for my last post from the weekend. The event I was at on Saturday had 2 food vans, one ice creams and one hot dogs and chips. I had a hot dog, it was much bigger than hot dogs used to be! Then on Sunday my family decided to order pizzas. For some reason the 6 inch I wanted wasn't available and they got me a 10 inch pizza. Couldn't finish it, so won't be ordering one of those again. So my choices were not the best at the weekend.
Monday and Tuesday I was looking after my grandson, some of my choices were good but some were not. We went to the beach and bought ice creams yesterday as a treat.
Today I was thinking I wouldn't bother logging, but I know how easy it is to "forget" each day so I weighed and logged my breakfast.
I'm in a lot of pain right now so think I will have a day off dog walking.
I've received an invitation to a wedding in October, my lovely nephew is getting married. I want to dress up in honour of the occasion, but am useless with clothes at the best of times! With all my back issues I really struggle with heels. Losing some weight before October would really help with finding an outfit.

Jft - 8/1
1. Plan my meals starting with dinner. I can sort of work around the rest of it.... Not sure how I'll manage this one
2. Drink water before each meal and snack every day check.
3. Work in either a 15-20 min walk or workout 3 times this week. (probably won't get to walk, I already completed 1 out of 3 walks) [/quote]
I've been logging a majority of my foods. It was hard to plan out my meals, but somehow I made it work.
I got through one exercise walk this week. If I walk tomorrow, I know I'll be walking a lot on Sat.
I've been doing okay with the water
I'm going to keep the same goals for the rest of the week.
I'm going to add that I am making a commitment to going to bed. There are things to do, but I think it's better to get to bed "early" tonight.2 -

I hate wearing new shoes! New pair were good for soles and arches, but they rubbed the top of my foot. so I was limping by the time I got home. I've been looking online for exercises to help with plantar faciitis, don't know who to believe, such differing advice out there.

Hey everyone! Sorry I've not been on!
Kids started the summer holidays and any time I get to myself is.. you know.. gone. 😂
Feel like I've been busy but it's.more like my brains been busy and in reality my body's not getting that much done 😂
I feel stressed though, hopefully having my new flooring put down this weekend. But I don't like having people in my house 😂 my house is like my sanctuary and when other people are here I feel like I can't live/relax in it as I normally would when someone else is around.
Plus I've got 3 kids AND an daft dog which I have to try keep off a screeded floor for a few hours. I know Ash is gonna help too but the thought of it seems chaotic. Plus this kids like to "show off" to anyone in the house, as any kids do and it can be real embarrassing sometimes 😂
After this weekend I think I'll be able to relax. Get the kids out more. Were doing one "expensive" day out to a huge funfair. It will only be as expensive as we let it be.
Then we're doing some cheap/free days out.
We can visit 3 museums for one ticket. And it's fairly priced. And they're all local to the area and based on the area.
So we can visit the oldest townhouse in the area (that's where we found out about the tickets and man it does look SO old, but cool) and then there's an air raid shelter one and then we can visit an old hall which only a bus ride out the area but down the road from where I used to grow up! (In fact I went there on a school trip in primary school for 'Tudor Day')
Then there's two big museums in Manchester, the Manchester History Museum (that's just been renovated, me and Ash went) and then there's the Science and Industry museum
That's my FAVOURITE and deffo for kids!!
At the minute they've got an exhibition on that is all about the digestive system and it's all interactive too I think. So you start at the mouth and work your way through to... Well you guessed it.
Apparently the kids get "poo hats" and can pretend to be the poo in the intestines 😂😂😂 sounds hilarious.
IF we go, I will take pics for you all 😂
Think fitness and exercise will have to take a backseat but I'll probs do the odd exercise here and there but I don't think I can commit to it right now.
That DOES NOT mean I'm giving up though, I can still be mindful, still eat well even if it not a priority.
I don't wanna step on the scales in a month time and realise I have to redo all the work I've done!
Hope everyone else is good.
I've read everyone's posts, but not had chance to reply!

I went to my friends on Sunday, returned Tuesday. Wednesday I received a call from our daughter asking if we could pick up our grandson from camp and keep him until they return this coming Sunday. That was a long day. Yesterday was sort of quiet, but I did have my orientation for school. It’s been busy so I haven’t logged and I haven’t eaten well.
I am going to start over today, I’ll log all my food and post goals for tomorrow.

Log everything yes
Stay in the green yes
Only one snack 2, but snacked instead of evening meal
Foot exercises yes
Back exercises a few
Deliver charity stuff yes
Day out! yes, a pleasant few hours
A nice day yesterday, but in a lot of pain after. I expected it, too much walking about.
I weighed this morning (think it's 2 weeks since I started) and I'm down 2 pounds, pleased with that.
I'm going away for the weekend so won't be able to log, but will be careful and not snack mindlessly.

Hi JFT friends! I haven't caught up on all your news yet, but I wish the best for each of you. I stopped posting in April when things were just too crazy. I just kept putting off getting back to it, but this is where I need to be.
My weight and BP are up after too many months of poor food choices, little exercise, and ignoring what I know I need to do to stay healthy. 2023 has been exhausting with my mom's health issues, my daughter's still unresolved divorce, a few other family issues, and work-related stress. Then there are all the things that need doing in the house and garden. The weather hasn't helped. It's been too easy to just crash on the couch at the end of the day, zone out to TV, and eat junk food.
We had our big summer party last weekend. It was wonderful, but the next day it felt like every muscle in my body ached. As I was waving goodbye to the last overnight guests, I decided it was time to get back to taking care of myself. So here I am, taking it one day at a time and reminding myself that time spent taking care of my own health and well-being is time well spent.

Happy Sunday!
Lots going on lately and I haven't been taking the time to log onto my computer to check in. I need to make it a habit to begin my day with y'all again. I did "Just for Today" for years faithfully and it helped me so dang much. But after I stopped working, I stopped spending 8-10 hours per day on a computer and it's almost like I'm rebelling like a child!
I don't HAVE to spend my time on a computer anymore so I'm not going to! Well....today I asked myself "So, how's that working out for you?" Ha! Not so well...
My liver biopsy came back showing none of the really bad stuff I was afraid of (cancer mainly), so that was really good news. But I need to make some lifestyle changes that I feel are going to be hard and I have to get repeat labs done at the end of the month and do another liver scan in 3 or 4 months. I think, for me, the key to actually being able to make and keep these lifestyle changes I need to focus on making one small change at a time. So, I'm going to list my daily goals and pick a small habit to work on each week and month, and then post them here for accountability.
I hope you all are doing well! I'm hundreds of posts behind, so I will try to catch up by reading a few pages at a time. Instead of surfing the internet or Facebook, I'll come here. MyFitnessPal is a lot better for my mental health than FB anyway!
Just for Sunday, 8/6/23
* Make 24H Plan and Assess yesterday's
* Drink 64+ oz water
* Close activity rings on Apple watch.
* Show my home some love...vacuum, dust, declutter desk, laundry, clean out fridge
* Aldi's run for fresh produce today or tomorrow.
* NoBS Monthly plan, Weekly plan and assess, Meal Plan for this next week. Listen to today's live coaching call(s).
* Bills/Balance Checkbook
* Evening routine and lights out by 10:30 PM
This week's small change is that I will eat at least four 1/2 cup servings of vegetables every day. I will keep track by filling out a Habit Tracker every evening.
This week, I will do ONE THING every day that takes me out of my comfort zone. Pick any little thing and DO IT afraid. Answer this sentence..."Today, I got out of my comfort zone by [___________]"
This month I will work on getting healthier by drinking 64 oz of water every day. I will do this by filling my pink 20 oz stainless steel container as soon as I place my coffee cup in the sink and I will have it by me all day. I will make sure to fill it two more times before 7 pm.
2023 Goal: I want to get healthier in Body, Mind and Spirit so I can feel ALIVE and not just exist. #BitchGotGoals #StartSmallStartNow #BuhByeAnxiety0 -
