    1. Pre-plan menus to stay under 1200 and follow plan. :) I would recommend this to anyone. After a month it is becoming a daily habit lol

    3. 10,000 + steps. :) 11,365 done. I had shopping to do lol
    4. 30 + strength, abs, stairs, planks. This will complete my Game of Thrones Challenge requirements for this week. :)
    5. Do Grocery shopping after breakfast. :) bought lots of healthy wholefoods
    6. Organise packing for Saturday. :) I have all my clothes set out ready to pack on Friday + menus/food sorted for first few days. [/quote]

    I had a busy day yesterday so plan to take it relatively easy on the exercise, so

    JFT 16/07
    1. Pre-plan, stick to the plan. If it works, don't change it lol
    2. 30 minutes of gentle yoga stretches
    3. 60 + minutes on chores
    4. Sort out the rest of my packing
    5. Work on photo archives
    6. Long Walk in the local park, weather permitting

    @vicky1947mfp Step by step, to reach your goal; brick by brick build your dream.
    It's great to see all the positive attitudes here. :grin::heart:

    May the light of contentment shine on your soul.

    Was gone for a few days on a very nice mini-vacation with my wonderful hubby up the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior :) . Didn't watch eating much except to focus on protein...enjoyed lots of yummy food AND also got in alot of exercise--like several hikes up hills along rivers/waterfalls, going up 100 (not kidding, I counted) steps a couple times a day to get back to our condo from the meals down at resort, AND a two hour active canoe trip up in the Boundary waters. So, I don't really feel guilty for anything I ate, and I gained no weight. This is a major change from the trip we took to the same place last year--where I was 35 pounds heavier, not wanting to be active, and probably ate even more. :):):)

    JFT 15 July:
    1. Remember that I am back to real life, with house and kiddos and not hiking for 3 or 4 hours a day--SOOOOOOOOO: Stay in Cal limits!!!!
    2. Drink 3+ Pints water/tea
    3. Exercise 30+ min.
    4. Check motels for my relatives
    5. Help son get his resume done
    6. Put away/swap winter coats etc. for children

    @kwfitgal That sounds like a fab trip. It's wonderful that you were able to do so much more. That's one of the wonderful things about this process. Finally getting to a more healthy and fit state, both physically and mentally. The life enjoyment quotient goes sky high! :)

    As for pictures, as you are posting, above your box you'll see a page with corner turned over symbol. You should be able to click on that and enter your address, (although it doesn't seem to be working for me just now?!?!!) Or, snip a picture of it and paste it in. It turned huge on me, even though I had a small snip, but there's your "thingamajig" :) . Maybe someone has better instructions???? :)
