    Hi everyone, been a bit busy this week and probably the rest of the week getting sorted for my family to come vist. I did step up my 30mins run/walk to 25min of walking and 5min warm up/cool down, so 35min in total rather than 30mins. also i've been logging my food to mfp as normal.

    Hey, Jenny. We had no doubt you were still with us and doing your best with regards to food and exercise. Enjoy your visit with your family!

    Ruffa, considering the amount of exercise you do, you'd have to have a REALLY high calorie meal for it to ruin your whole day! Nice that you can let loose a little!

    Team Wild Flowers...I have a correction to make. The Irish meal is only worth 5 points, not 25. I read it wrong on the original post. Sorry for any confusion..... Is the Irish dance looking like the better option to any of you now?!!

    Hey Wildflowers......I have some bad news. I was up really early today to travel to a meeting for work pretty much sat all day long then had to attend a work dinner and only got home at 830pm. So I didn't exercise or get many steps in at all today. :neutral:

    Tomorrow should be better.

    Don't apologize for life happening, Melanie. We are all going to have days where we can't exercise or we just don't make time for it. We can only do our best, nothing more. At least you stayed within your calorie goal...that's something really positive!

    It's been a busy past few days, and I have been struggling with not being able to make it to the gym, so I went at 9 last night! I was there for an hour and a half. It felt good! Although the struggle was real this morning to get out of bed haha I was exhausted. We're looking good on our miles to Ireland! Already more than halfway there! Keep up the good work!!

    I think I'm going to treat myself to a new pair of kicks this weekend. I've had my current tennis shoes for 4 years probably. I noticed last night when I was on the treadmill that they've lost all support at this point.

    Great late night gym work out, Kate! Yes, we are definitely going to make it to Ireland....but remember we also score bonus points for how many "extra" miles (or minutes) we record! I agree that you should treat yourself to a new pair of running shoes. They may still "look" fine, but as you've said, the support just isn't there any more.

    Thursday purple cabbage and I just made homemade Sheppard's pie for St Patrick's day. :)

    I just got a new pair of running shoes today. I suggest going to a running store even if you only walk because they can fit you into the perfect shoes based on how u walk or jog or run.

    not sure if i should just list all the veg i had:
    Monday - kale, Spinach (green), plum tomatoes canned (red)
    Tuesday - cucumber (green), Carrots (orange), broccoli, kale (green)
    Wednesday - Romaine Lettuce (green)
    Thursday - Romaine Lettuce (green), Fresh Tomato (Red), cucumber (green)

    if anyone is using Italian pasta sauce sauces its very quick and easy to make your own.
    1 tinned tomato,
    little garlic and mix of Italian herbs. we have Schwartz Italian Herb Seasoning mix here which pure mix of herbs and is easy to use, but you can make your own using a little bit of each of the following herbs:
    Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Parsley, Sage, Black Pepper, Bay Leaves (ground), maybe even make up a spice shaker of your own mix to use easier.

    I like to add in a cup of kale and a cup of spinach in with the sauce to make it more filling and get in more veg, so i can have less pasta with my spaghetti and meatballs or spaghetti Bolognese but still feel full.
