4 yo fell out of bunk bed hit her head on the wall and she’s got a little cut on her head!
Blood pouring down her face is not something you want to see at 3.30am.
Trip to A&E and a little glue to keep it together (although she wasn’t sure she needed it, more a just in case)
I am tired!
OMG. Is she alright now? And no wonder you're tired!
Yeah thankfully, she said she had a bit of headache earlier today but she seems fine now.
She was okay last night,playing in the hospital
She’s put a dent in the wall anyway lol
Today she’s been pretty needy though, needing hugs etc, of course I don’t mind that at all but she she took it a step further and tried to get everything she wanted lol! Had to tell her then to stop.
I just heard crying and thought it was 7am and she needed a wee, but no, 3.30 that’s the first thing that confused me, then thought it must just be a wee or she’s accidentally wet the bed in her sleep even if it’s unlikely it’s still possible
But nope
Bottom of the ladder with blood pouring down.
Never known panic like it lol!2 -

@Bex953172 - I was thinking of you when I took a walk to get out of my boring office. I have updated my chart for tracking the "In 5 Weeks", this is how it has turned out so far for me.

Have a great trip @AJB1014 and @Bex953172 hope your little one is ok. Middle of the night A&E trips are awful. Try and get lots of rest this weekend.
I got back late last night but had a very good day in the end. Our staff choir had a performance at a charity night and to be honest there were so many of my “triggers’ for emotional eating involved: general Friday night “screw it” mentality, everyone else’s partners turned up to give support so I was the only one on my own, I stayed up late and got hungry from tiredness and (poss too much) exercise, I came back to an empty house so no-one to see if I binged etc..BUT June challenge kicked in and I got home, tidied up a bit, made a protein shake and got to bed. Major major victory. Thank you so much @mytime6630 for setting this challenge!

You are doing SO GOOD!!!!! I love hearing how you are working with your triggers!!! Thank you so much for posting this --- you get me so motivated! (and everyone else on here!)2 -
JFT, Friday
1. dinner with a friend ... so make healthy choices Had a pulled pork sandwich, baked beans and cole slaw /..... but only ate HALF of all this, and ate very lightly all day. SO I think I am OK!
2. log all food Going to do this right now. I need to get where I log my food as I eat it though. I tend to wait until the end of the nite, which probably is not the best way to log my food.
3. april challenge -- 8 glasses of water I was meeting a friend - which is a 30 minute drive, so took my water bottle! Trying to make this a habit.
4. may challenge --- spent 15 minutes outside walking
5. june challenge -- mindful eating, and then report what I did on here I did "cheat" tonite with a small ice cream cone at Dairy Queen -- only because I delivered a brownie/ice cream sundae to my daughter. But .... I could have done worse and had what she had, right???? So maybe a "little" mindful eating?
6. get back on here . be accountable
Summer I am always so busy - with both work, and working in the yard until it gets dark. Then I sew... which means I don't get on my computer as much. So that makes logging food harder, because I tend to wait until I go to bed to get on here and log what I eat (and hope I did not go over!). So this is something I have to try and get a better habit.
I am so happy to hear some of how you guys are doing the June Challenge!! I love seeing what you do, and it motivates me as well as so many others! So thank you all for posting these win wins!!
JFT, Saturday
1. log all food immediately after I eat it so I know how my day is going
2. concentrate on water
3. go to the gym
4. april challenge -- 8 glasses of water
5.May challenge -- get outside exercise for min of 15 minutes. I am going to try and go for a bike ride!
6. June challenge - mindful eating, and report it on here what I did
7. work on quilt -- I am almost finished sewing all the rows together! Can't wait to see how it looks
8. get started on chemo hats - its been over a month since I gave her some . Need to get more made
9. get back on here - be accountable.3 -

It looks like this June challenge thing is really working! So many people are posting about it. It really is a great idea! I’ve been trying to drink more water BEFORE I eat anything. It really does help with portion control. But I find not so much with cravings. So I’m going with the 2nd June option (eat something healthy).
I’ve managed to find a really decent pasta replacement which is made of kelp and has 0 calories/carbs. It’s very expensive so I won’t be eating it all the time, but it saved my life this week. It’s technically a veggie, not a starch. I’ve not had a bowl of real pasta in 32 days, so this week I nearly caved (I wanted to eat a HUGE package of spaghetti and the craving was so bad it was affecting my mood!). Instead I made a small package of kelp noodles and ate slowly and was satisfied.6 -

Every night when I close my diary for the night I put what it says on my phone note app. I use Excel at work to create the chart. I only update my weight on MFP check in when I’ve lost more that 1/2 a pound so it stays the same a lot. I weigh daily though and record that on my excel sheet and on the Give me 10 days challenge.
I’ve been waiting very patiently for the 31st to see how this was going, it was the 5 week mark from where I started tracking.
It seems really off to me so far. I of course don’t eat exactly the same day but my “in 5 weeks” numbers are usually pretty close daily.2 -

That is really cool. Nice job!
JFT Friday Results:
1) Adhere to food plan for breakfast and dinner. I will give myself a pass on lunch if I don't feel up to preparing the 15 bean soup I've got planned.
2) If I skip fixing lunch, eat fruit and veg, nothing else. planned bean soup and apple coleslaw, just ate the slaw
3) Drink 10 glasses of water. I seem to feel better the more I hydrate, so I'm going to focus on that today.
4) Log! I didn't log for a couple of days either
Couldn't quite choke all the water down. But not bad for a "climb back onto the wagon" day.
JFT Saturday (I am feeling better though not 100% so I'm going to up the goals some, including some "restoring order" goals):
1) Log all food, staying in the green for calories
2) Drink 10 glasses of water
3) Prepare bean soup
4) Wash a load of laundry
5) Load and run dishwasher5 -

Kitchen closed and oral hygiene 730pm ...YES TO YESTERDAY
Bed 10pm
Log all food and be4 eating again.
Respond positively to 1 posting on MFT. Give back!
Thanks all.

A very up and down day for me. Started down but ended up so I guess I should feel positive. My current challenge is being ok with not being perfect - specifically if I skip a workout because I’m too tired or sore, that’s ok. It doesn’t mean I need to get down on myself and eat my feelings. I’m thinking maybe I need to commit to specific planned rest days. But I’m always up early so generally feel like I may as well work out, especially as I can’t be sure I can make a class in the evening. Hmmm, pondering...
Goals for Saturday
- morning workout ✅ not my usual but a hour and twenty minute walk to make up for it
- April challenge need to prioritise this

Well, I had a whole whiny post typed out and deleted it. I'm struggling with some pain right now. I'm having issues with my left SI joint being stuck, 3 lumbar spine disks being twisted in my back and a tilted/twisted pelvis. I started physical therapy last week for it and can hardly walk right now from the pain.
I am feeling a bit depressed but if I don't get on here and give myself goals, I will totally give up and I don't want to do that. Thank you for being here and helping me to not want to give up. You are all so important to me, and you don't even know it!
Just for Saturday:
1. Make healthy food choices
2. Drink 64 oz water
3. Declutter as much as I can while sitting
4. Rest, ice and heat. Don't overdo it.
5. Early bedtime.
6. Read something fictional just for pleasure.
