    It's already 3PM here, so, only half of a day is in front of me, but here are my goals:

    - eat berries for an afternoon snack
    - eat light, folate-rich dinner (chickpeas and some greens)
    - don't eat anything after dinner
    - take a walk
    - make at least one more contact list (for the job)

    JFT, Monday:

    - Find a gynecologist
    - Order thyroid test
    - Buy food supplies for the week (lentils, chickpeas, berries, veggies)
    - avoid snacking

    I have thyroid issues too, are you hyper or hypo? X

    @Bex953172
    I was hypo a decade ago, while I was still at the university and my deficit was not too big so after a while, when I felt better, I just stopped talking medications (stupid, I know). In my defense, I was often sick as a kid, so by the time I reach my 20s, I felt I had enough of medications. Weirdly, some of my chronic problems miraculously just disappeared over time (like asthma and strong pollen allergies).

    Now, after a decade of neglecting my health, I am trying to force myself to make all those testings again. I've started to feel my thyroid in my throught, so I am scared it might be growing. :/ Another reason is that we'd like to make a baby :)

    Does your thyroid make you a lot of problems? Are you hyper or hypo?


    @maryrobinson40
    I am so sorry for your loss...I can't even imagine how hard it must be...

    Yes, they figured it out and we got to come home. Thank you for asking! Yes I’ve been keeping up with the challenge but this one is a little different. Every day you have to add another set. I try to complete them first thing in the morning. That way I know I will get them done. I do a set when brushing my teeth and continue while I’m doing my morning face routine etc. lol I know it sounds silly but it really helps.

    Thankful everyone is home and doing well.
    I am the same...I don't do squats while brushing teeth, although I did think about it last night. But I do them while I wait for my water to boil, or toast to brown, etc! I just have to get a hundred in each day...not sure I could do more than that!!! Keep it up...you are going to have some strong legs!!!

    I received this friendly reminder yesterday...thought I'd pass it on to you!

    what's the squat challenge?

    There are variations. I don’t use an app or anything like that. There are some good ones on Pinterest or I just do them with friends. You can do so many a day or do a challenge of increasing the amount daily, which is what I’m doing. There are so many variations. If you decide to do one, I would opt to pick something that is challenging, yet not so challenging that you can’t/won’t complete it.

    my problem is i do great for a couple days and then forget.

    @clicketykeys and @littleblackskirt - thank you. Feeling happy with the muscle definition. Other than bodyweight stuff I don’t lift anything heavier than 6-8kg dumbbells and a kettlebell that’s maybe 10 or 12 in my boot camp class? Just goes to show you don’t have to lift super heavy!

    And I lost around 50lbs in total since I started on Mfp. Some days feel like maintenance is harder than losing. That’s why I’m so grateful to have this group to keep me focussed. Thank you so much for your kind words xx

    You look awesome!! I did my first bootcamp this morning ... a free class. But I only lasted about 30 minutes LOL!!! It is good to know that you can get that kind of definition without lifting a lot of weights! Great job!

    @toaljasa; It doesn't matter if I get slim and trim. I must get strong and stay strong. I must make exercise a part of my life, even when, especially when, I am 72 and beyond so that I will have the strength I need, as well as balance. Peace and joy.
    Such good advice! My neighbor, who is also in her 70's fell in her kitchen one day while I was visiting. She couldn't get up, and required help from both her husband (who is on oxygen) and me. It was a worrisome time, and she said that she is so weak from chronic illness and spending a lot of time in bed watching TV, that she wasn't able to help herself. One more reason to keep exercising--and like you, I don't always feel like it.

    @aubyshortcake , so glad you found your dogs in time, a scary time for you all.

    @Faebert, that is so interesting. I've always felt that "proper exercises" are beyond me with my back issues. However, I recently bought some sets of small dumbbells (think the largest were 5kg) in the hopes that I could do something to improve my strength. I used to lift at work and I miss it now. I'm still using the small 2kg weights but you give me hope that I may be able to make a difference.

    @littleblackskirt I’m lucky I don’t have back issues but I have to say until recently my workout routine was just body weight and circuit stuff using 2.5kg weights. I only use the heavier ones in my Warrior boot camp class which I started fairly recently. So I think you absolutely can make a difference at lower weights x

    @hellerhoneybee and @littleblackskirt Thank you so much. As the day went on I started getting really worried because we saw nothing and heard nothing, then around 6 pm we finally got a call. They had wandered a couple miles away to the Bay, they were in the mangroves by the water. Rukia was stuck in the mud and Kya stayed with her. A boater spotted them and got them into his boat. They are both home safe now but very weak and dehydrated. They were terrified and shaking and Rukia can barely walk. They seem a little more relaxed this morning but I think it's going to be a few days before they're back to normal, we will be keeping a close eye on them. I'm just glad they were found when they were, they were stuck there surrounded by salt water, I don't know that they would have made it through another night.
    OH I am so thankful your dogs were found and rescued and now safe at home. You are relieved I'm sure. So thankful the gentleman took time to get them.

    @HEGoddard0928; This might be way off track, but is there a chance it could be a parasitic infection? Last summer, I had one---not sure just how I got it--probably from cat-sitting--but it wipes you out; constant nausea, unable to keep any food down, and diarrhea, weakness. Once it was diagnosed and treated, recovery was very quick.
