So do I! Wish Mary could find us again! She was brill lol!
Also hope @PackerFanInGB is okay too x
Yes she was, I wonder if she still hasn't gotten her log in issue fixed. One of the other groups had a couple ladies complaining about the same issue.
It's funny how you go so used to seeing people and then you worry about them when they are gone for a while. If anything happened to one of us no one would ever really know though would they. Not like facebook where someone is posting I miss you before the family even knows they died.

So quiet today! Come back everyone!
I just finished reading Portia de Rossi's memoir, really fascinating. She struggled severely with eating disorders. At one point she was only allowing herself 300 calories per day, and at the scariest she got down to 82 pounds for a fairly tall woman. It was a real eye-opener. It made me look at some my own thoughts and habits around healthy eating. While I certainly do not struggle with disordered eating, I do put a lot of pressure on the number on the scale and the image in the mirror. It made me recognize I need to shift my focus a bit on the end goal and the aspects of healthy living I appreciate. I also liked her realization that no foods are bad foods, there are only bad lifestyle habits. It's much more about the big picture and sustainable changes than one "good" meal or one "bad" piece of food. I recommend!
For today:
30 minutes exercise ✅ totally "tricked" myself by saying I would start with 15 and see how I felt
Track food and exercise ✅
5 good groups ✅
Water challenge-80 oz. ✅
Post here for accountability ✅
For tomorrow:
Figure out how to order a PSL that's a bit leaner
30 minutes exercise
Track food and exercise
5 good groups
Water challenge-80 oz.

Morning all it really is quiet at the moment isn’t it? Hope everyone is ok.
Yesterday was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Felt a bit down after doing lots of research about my sister’s condition, her surgery, the surgery that I will also be going for further down the line. It sounds so silly but I know I will really struggle with not being able to exercise for so long - apparently you can’t do upper body weight work for months. Exercise has become such an important part of my life now, hard to imagine how I will feel without it. But I know that my long term health is more important and even if it takes years to regain strength, I will be able to get there in the end. Just need to keep some perspective on this.
Today I’m focussed completely on my sister. I’m going with her to an MRI where they will double check the cancer has not spread anywhere else. Once that is done she can go ahead with surgery and there will be no need for any further treatment like chemo. I’m praying this is all ok today.
Tuesday goals recap
- morning workout ✅
- April to August challenges ❎ water and planning a downfall again. But did ok on the rest!
- Hot yoga ❎ I’m not sure about renewing my annual membership as I won’t be able to do this once I have surgery. I am emailing the studio owner for advice about whether I can freeze membership when the time comes or if I have to go for the more expensive rolling monthly contract for now
- Call someone re fixing dishwasher ✅
- Go into school to sort classroom? Possibly... ❎
- Early night ✅
Not setting any goals for today. I am up early and will workout then run a few errands before I head over to my sister’s place. The rest of the day will just depend on how things all go.
Have a great day all x5 -

Good luck for your sister.
I don't think it's silly that you're worried about not being able to work out if and when you have surgery, it's part of your routine, your life and you enjoy doing it. But like you say your health is more important.
Good Idea for taking today easy too, the last thing you need to be thinking about is how many calories something has.4 -

@mytime6630
And where have you gone!? Hope you're okay!2 -
It is a bit quiet! Haven’t seen @slittlemeister for a while either - all ok? And sending big hugs to @HEGoddard0928 - hope the new girl is working out ok.
How’s it going with the sibling rivalry @Bex953172 ? X3 -
I'm SO tired. I'm dragging through everything. AM run took a full 40 minutes, and it took me so long to shower/dress/prep/pack lunch that I very nearly made us late. I am definitely looking forward to it getting not quite so hot so that I could do my running in the evenings. It's still getting above 90 for the highs, and it doesn't get below 85 until well after dark.6

I'm still here... Went away for a wedding at the weekend and came back with food poisoning/ a tummy bug
Not having a lot of fun, however on the plus side the bug means I probably won't have put on any weight from the wedding....
Thanks for thinking of me6 -

4. Do second WAH video for 10 min

7. Go to Farmer's Market
Farmer's Market today! Yea! Let's see: waxed beans, cabbage, sweet candy onions, cukes, radishes, garlic, microgreens, tomatoes, and lettuce. I think I'll stick with berries today: blueberries and raspberries. Apples are just starting to come in so maybe a few of those. I need a new jar of honey. I'm hoping the fish guy is there. Most people go for the fresh caught salmon ... I want perch. OK ... that's a plan!!
Had an amazing thought yesterday. About 6 weeks ago I started hitting the Farmer's Market on both Wed and Sat and eating a LOT of fresh fruit and veggies. I stopped eating sweets and crunchy junkfood. What I realized yesterday is that I haven't had any chocolate, sweets, or salty/crunchy cravings in 2-3 weeks ... not even cravings in the evenings. That is absolutely amazing. I hope it continues because it's sure made it easier to stay on plan.
Hope Y'all have a successful day.6 -

Welcome back! How've you been!
@Bex953172 ... Hi! Good Morning Beautiful!💖💖💖👏👏 Today is bittersweet. The sweetness is in getting another chance to share love with you and others on here again. The joy of being alive to see what this new day holds... My heart is overwhelmed within me. It's funny how we've never laid eyes on each other, but the care is as if we're one person, but many. The genuineness of this Sisterhood makes me feel there's nothing we can't conquer, or overcome. I appreciate The Welcome🌹
The bitter: Coming back and finding some of you hurting inside as much as I am at the moment. My brother did pass away yesterday afternoon between 3-4p.m.
No, no, don't pity or feel sorry. He's so much better now. He had accepted JESUS Christ as his personal Savior. He lived, laughed; Boy! Could he laugh and he loved his family..❤❤❤❤
Ok! Enough of that!!! We have more to do... 🙌😅 WHOOO YAH!!! LET'S GET AFTER IT!!! I'M BACK BABY!!!!5 -

I ended up taking the baby pram/walker away. Marley keeps her baby and we'll have to buy saskia one I think lol! It's annoying because she never played with babies when she was younger, it's just cause marley has one.1
