    JFT 6/3 Recap:
    Yoga 30 minutes :| Not yet-but may do that later tonight.
    Strength Training 20 minutes :( No-but I did go for a walk/run earlier
    Healthy Choices :)
    3 veg/2 fruit :| Not quite
    low sodium choices today :)
    put meal in crockpot for dinner at lunchtime :)
    Drink 8 c water today :)
    Stay in the green :) So far so good!

    I'm heading out shortly for a commitment I made to go to a political fundraiser plus kid 1 has to go to taekwondo. I know there will be food/snacks at the political thing but I have saved calories and would rather have ice cream at home later. But I have calories if there is anything I really want at the get together. I had a decent day, decided to go for an outdoor run/walk and ended up pulling a muscle! So annoyed! I'm resting it now but didn't even get my 30 minutes in which is annoying. I may try to do some stretching and yoga to see if that helps but it looks like tomorrow might be a swimming day in order to help it heal. It's not too too bad I can walk but I'm limping a little. Anyway, other than that made a delish dinner (swedish meatballs) in the crockpot and only had one portion! That was so hard because it was divine!

    @Snowflake1968 What an amazing time you must have had! Gorgeous pictures and it looks absolutely lovely. Love the hats! :)

    @Faebert I may have to check that podcast out. I love a good podcast. Another good one is NPR's Lifekit-they have parenting and food related ones that are really good.

    @faebert: How are you feeling? I felt bad to see that you lost your grandmother's wedding ring! Did you find it? I lost my 'mother's' ring that my kids bought me for Christmas about 10 years ago and I've just been sick about it ever since. I hope you find it and I hope you are feeling better! Also, I love Half Size Me podcasts. I even listen to some of them more than once! I find the best time to listen to them is when I go for a walk because of the length and the uninterrupted time to really listen. :flowerforyou:

    @Snowflake1968 What a beautiful view! It is my dream to own land on a lake someday. So glad you had such a great time! Thanks for sharing the pics of all the girls too. You guys look great and you can just feel the love and happiness in your smiles! Very cool.

    @nlmackey98 Your prayers for @Mytime6630 and Hannah were so right on point. Thank you for verbalizing what my brain wasn't putting together so elequently. :heart: (P.S. our @Bex95317's bark is much worse than her bite! Don't be intimidated by her sass. She's really awesome! :) }

    @cory17 So good to see you! I'm glad you popped on and said hi! I'm so sorry you are dealing with stress and drama at home. That seriously started my whole backward slide in April. It sure gets old when you have no escape from it, doesn't it? (((HUGS)))

    @daneejela I'm so glad you had a nice family get-together! Your husband is a keeper! My husband is "that guy" at my family gatherings also. There are always tense moments and he is always the one to break the tnesion and get everyone laughing. These guys of ours are priceless. :mrgreen:

    @HEGoddard0928 I'm sorry hat Matt is still sick! I truly hope you get some answers soon! Have they told you anything? Sending you many many cyber hugs sweetie! xoxo

    @korina75 Thanks for the tip regarding NPR's LifeKit series. I love listening to podcasts while I'm driving, walking, sewing, cooking, well....pretty much whenever I can! ;) I see there are several shows that focus on different things. Which do you recommend?

    @ZizzyBumble Congratulations on your retirement! My husband turned 65 yesterday. I'm so jealous! It's the first time I've ever been jealous of him being older than me! :flowerforyou:

    @Bex953172 "Tubster"? Are you talking about our darling Casey??? LOL! nothing better than baby kisses! :heart: I think just logging on every day and not forgetting about us is a great goal! Glad to see you doing well and sounding happy today, my friend!

    @MLHC1 Congrats on Moving Day! You must be so excited!!! I'm happy for you! That is a long time to wait.

    @AJB1014 I hope you had a great day at work today, and that the adjustment of one less job turns out to be a good change for you!

    @mytime6630 That had to have been really scary trying to get home in those storms. It's just been horrible, hasn't it? I know how it feels to have the husband get pissed at the loved one you try to protect. It's a tough situation, no doubt about it. I'm glad he vented out of your daughter's earshot. Sometimes a person just needs to vent but we don't want to hurt anyone else while we do it. Such a fine line.
    Just wanted to also say that in my opinion, it's okay the buster bar is no longer there, as long as you journaled it! (Coming from a woman who had two huge slices of DQ ice cream cake yesterday for hubby's birthday! LOL) (((HUGS))) xoxo

    @MaryRobinson40 Here I am, trying to hold you accountable! Did you get some steps in today? Did you drink some plain water to Hydrate? :mrgreen: (P.S. I just love you, girl...)





    :open_mouth: as if i could forget about ANY of you!

    And yes.. Casey is tubster LOL!
    Shes a tubby baby but all the more to snuggle! She LOVES kisses. She cant purse her lips but just puts them on your lips LOL

    There were 141 posts since my last check in - too much to read this afternoon after our long drive. Good to be back home from a special long weekend with cherished friends. I enjoyed everything didn't go overboard but definitely ate more including a few deserts. I am looking forward to things getting back to normal. This coming week I'm going to start walking everyday, it's been nearly a month of recovery and the rest of my body needs some exercise and strength training.

    JFT (Tuesday) 6/4/19
    Pretrack to 1500 calories
    Do grocery shopping to have the healthy food I want in the house
    30 min walk
    Visit my mom
    No snacking or wine after dinner.

    JFt, Monday, June 3
    1. go to the gym :) AND went for a 1 mile walk, and picked up a ton of sticks from saturday nites storms. Storms predicted every single day this week!
    2. 8+ water :/ Need to gulp the water down tonite.
    3. mindful eating :)
    4. take daughters rent check over :)
    5. help hubby :)

    Heading over tonite to help my daughter clean her apartment. As we do many times, we go out for ice cream afterwards. But I discovered a place called "lions choice" ... which serves good sandwiches, has little tiny cones for just $.25! They also have bigger ones for $2.00 ... but the .25 cone is just perfect. So here to my mindful eating ... now I have to hold myself to that and not get Dairy queen!
    Then going to watch the STL BLues -- hoping for a win!

    JFT, Tues
    1. going to the dentist , so can't go to the gym. Go for walk instead in the evening if not raining
    2. help hubby
    3. concentrate on 8+ water
    4. mindful eating
    5. log all food - both here and WW site
    6. get back on here .. june challenge.
    7.

    @PackerFanInGB - Probably too late to do much about it, but I don't suppose you could be sedated?

    Things are going pretty well. I stayed up stupid late last night to finish my masters project, but I got a nap in this afternoon so I'm feeling pretty good.

    @littleblackskirt - happy to see you back! Hoping you are starting to feel better.

    @HEGoddard0928 - I hope they find out the cause of Matt's problems soon. I can only imagine how stressful that must be, for both of you. No wonder you have been down. 3 months is way to long to not have an answer yet. Hugs dear friend.


    @wannabeskinnycat -- I love this! Thank you for posting. something we all need to remind ourselves everyday! And congrats on 25 lb lost! That is wonderful!

    You are braver than you believe
    Stronger than you seem
    Smarter than you think
    And loved more than you know

    @nlmackey98 - I think we all have that mindset, that the weekend comes, and we just eat what we want. But that is life .. sometimes we need to do that. I am learning that this is OK, as long as we get right back on track .. which you are doing

    And thank you so much for this beautiful prayer! You are so sweet!
    Dear Heavenly Father, bless this family with love and patience. Lord, if it be your will, bring them the answers they seek. They know not your purpose for their lives, but they are good and faithful servants. They praise you in the storm yet they seek the sunlight. God, I wish we knew the path you have chosen for us, but we don't. We try and we fail, but we always try again to honor You. We will continue to praise you and pray that you will fortify our hearts to deal with the trials we must face. Peace and Grace are what I ask for this family. Thank you for the many blessings in our lives, none of which would be possible without you. It is is Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

    And I'm only about halfway reading all the posts!!! But my daughter just called, and she is back home. So I am heading over to help her clean ... I will try and catch up on the rest when I get back!

    @PackerFanInGB -good luck with MRI. Best advice I ever received before having one (and I have had several), is to close eyes before going in tube and don't open them until you come back out. I usually do counted breathing too (helps me relax).

    I am back. After falling way off the wagon and eating like I did not care at all for a little over 2 weeks and gaining the little bit I had lost. I am back to trying. Here are my goals for tomorrow:
    1. Eat in my window 11:00-7:00
    2. no sweet tea!! Only water or unsweet tea
    3. stay within my calorie count, log everything before eating it!
    4. get in my 10,000 or more steps
    5. Walk at least 3,000 of those steps before eating
    6. Be productive! Knock off the things on the to do list,
    7. Eat veggie and fruit with both lunch and dinner

    2. Walk, walk, walk ✅ 17,000, 18,000, 12,000 steps every day whilst waiting for the delivery
    3. Stay in green ❌

    Congratulations!! And wow ... look at those steps!! You are doing great!

    @packerfan good luck w/the MRI. The prior advice about close your eyes is good, slow breathe in down to stomach, hold for couple counts and release slow. Focus on mental picture. I had one couple years ago. You can do it!
    @nlmackey You do such a good job of being in the now, moving forward, positive. o:)
    @jacqui congrats on your new grandbaby!! they smell so good.........
    @bex whoop you're sounding feeling good
    @maryrobinson gonna be looking for your post tomorrow about how the day went, you're on a roll
    @kaihunter45 what are you abstaining from?
    @snowflake those pictures look like so much fun! Your caitlyn is so blessed to have you.
    @hegoddard 3 mos of testing & no dx is beyond frustrating. I too am praying for resolution for Matt

    Morning all, feeling good today as I managed a run this morning. 10k and not super fast but I’ll take it as it’s been less than a week since my injury. Something is up with my Garmin and mfp though - it’s registered it three times on my exercises and given me three times the calorie burn - if only!!

    Hope everyone is well. @PackerFanInGB I’m thinking of you and glad you’re a bit better. I’m sure the MRI is daunting - try and stay calm. Ooh and I found the ring last night!!! Was taking to my mum on the phone and confessed. She mentioned that it is the anniversary of my grandma’s death this week. Went and had another look in the drawers thinking maybe it fell into the box of baking parchment. It wasn’t there but it had fallen into one of the other drawers! Was like she was looking over my shoulder 💕

    Quick goals update before I get ready for work.

    Monday goals recap:
    - morning workout ✅
    - Pack snacks ✅
    - Buy milk on way to school ✅
    - Sort maths replacement lesson on arrival ✅
    - Home lunchtime for car, shake and plants ✅
    - Leave by 5 ❎
    - Health food store after work✅ just made it before closing!
    - Online grocery shop ❎ we actually don’t need to do this for a couple of days
    - Bed by 9:30❎

    Tuesday goals:
    - morning run ✅
    - pack snacks
    - proofread reports if time on arrival
    - home lunchtime for car and shake
    - sort out digital resilience lesson files
    - meeting after school (leave by 5:30)

    Had a pretty good day today. No headache at work until late in the day, thank God. Tomorrow morning is the brain MRI, which I'm seriously nervous about...not because I'm afraid of the results, but because I'm claustrophobic and they are going to put a cage over my head so I can't move. That scares the bejeezus out of me. I'll be fine, but it's making me nauseous to think about it.

    I had two MRIs before my operations, didn't really like those myself. If it's like mine, they will give you music to listen to. I chose classical for relaxation - if you can choose your music so it's something you like that may help! If it's like mine, you will be able to see the outside world by glancing down at your feet. I found keeping on looking at that helped me feel better. Hope this is possible for you, and helpful!

    JFT 6/4

    30 minutes mindful movement
    Stay within calories
    drink 8 c water
    meditate 5 minutes
    Get guestroom ready for company


    Very busy day today so keeping it simple. My Dad is coming out for an unexpected visit and it's stressing me out big time. He always comments on my weight and even though I now am weighing less I just hate how much he focuses on my looks. I don't want my children to hear that message. Although, luckily, they are tweens and barely listen to what adults are saying nowadays. :D Thankful to still be busy as we get into summer-hoping to get all my current clients under contract by the end of June so I can relax a little in July/August as I have vacations. Thank you ladies for giving me a place to come and just write for a minute and meditate on my day and feelings in the moment. It's so helpful to me. :)

    Thank you for your encouragement. I'm sure it started with a weekend, but unfortunately, I've been sliding since early April. I'm not sure what triggered the fall, but it came hard and fast. Oh well, today is a new day filled with new choices.
