    Weight back up again, sigh. Not really surprising after my emotional binge on Friday. Plus, whilst I 'moderated' whilst out for the day with my friend on Saturday, I still ate a fair bit. I guess it shows how much I used to eat/ would still eat if I didn't control myself!

    Back on it this week. I have a few social occasions this week which will make things challenging but I'll take it one day at a time and will keep pushing at this mindful moderation!

    Good morning! I am back at it today. I've been binging all weekend but I think I needed it for my sanity. I am definitely extremely bloated right now so I don't dare weigh myself for a while.. Lol.

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal
    3. Finish traffic course
    4. Go for a walk at lunch

    I am hoping to have a good week food wise, I thought I would at least be getting my walks in because of work, but the weather is not cooperating. It might be a good thing today as I woke up with a charlie horse this morning. I think that is due to not enough water over the last few days. I'm working on that today.

    I'll check in later if I have a minute. I'm training so no time to be on social media at work.

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

    Age 61, 5'4.5"
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI

    - Bed by 10:30 - In bed not on couch or in big cozy chair.

    So I screwed up a 30+ year friendship pretty bad. I didn't even know until I was blind-sided by angry accusations. Even after reading what she wrote I thought she was exaggerating. At first, I truly thought when she said that we have a problem, I thought she meant with her husband as they have been struggling.

    Anyway, I wrote a reply based on something I thought I could say. Something like "I often have a hard time believing that people would pray for me because I don't deserve it." That did not go over well. She said I was trying to change my words and make it less awful. Still I didn't remember saying the things she claimed, "I laugh when you say you pray because I don't believe you." Then I asked her if she even believed in God. These are very vile things. I can't imagine saying to my worst enemy. I had "talked" to her regularly over the past couple of months, and nothing ever seemed wrong. As I said my response was not right. She "yelled" at me some more. Told me I'd done it this time and unfriended me on facebook before I could even look back through the thread or form a response.

    I looked back through our conversation threads. I found back on April 17. I did say those things I could not even imagine saying. I have no explanation for them, other than I wasn't myself. Which I wasn't. March, April and May were very unstable times for me mentally. At that time my meds were off, I was drinking, I was cutting and then I was begging husband not to wake up my daughter so he could take me to the hospital. I know these things because they are in the same thread with the vile statements. She even mentions multiple times that I'm not thinking straight, that my meds are off and I need to put the razor blades away.

    She says she questions our friendship because I should know these things about her and asks who gave me the right to judge her. Well I do know her better than that. We've been friends for over 30 years. On the same note shouldn't she know me well enough to know I would never say those things if I was in my right mind. I have never even thought those things about her.

    Any way, I have been feeling better for the past few weeks, but this situation makes me sick to my stomach. How do you apologize for doing something if you don't know why you said it? How do I apologize for hurting her without blaming my mental illness? What right do I have to be angry with her about the way she approached this?

    Now I need to make amends, but I don't really know how. I did say them. I can't change them. Being mentally impaired and struggling to fight through the darkness is no excuse. My meds being off is no excuse. Even after reading these things, I don't remember them and I certainly have no idea what reason I would have for saying them. Then there is a part of me that is angry that she waited 2 months and then blind-sided me and attacked me giving me no chance to even try to smooth things over. I can't believe she doesn't know me well enough or value our friendship enough to at least listen.

    Thanks once again for letting me vent. Hope y'all don't think less of me because of this. - Nikki

    @nlmackey98 - definitely don’t think any less of you. I can understand why you feel so hurt. I guess perhaps your friend had this resentment bubbling away for a while and she has lashed out at you. Hopefully she will come to her senses and realise that you didn’t mean what you said. Could you try writing to her to explain how bad things were at that time, in case she has forgotten? And in the meantime, remember that you are loved and valued and worthy of unconditional love. Those who really know you should have faith in you. Hang in there x

    I’m very late to today’s party. I’m mulling doing a half marathon and this morning decided to aim for my longest run ever. I did it! 18km (11.2 miles) in 1hr 44. Even starting before 5:20am it was hot, so I’m super proud of myself. But all kinds of sore now!

    The distances I’m running suggest I can do a half marathon. But when I think about it I feel so scared! I know that’s silly. Logically I can see that I am pretty fit, but inside I still sometimes feel like the unathletic fat girl who would never be able to run. I definitely need to work on my confidence. Any tips please send them my way.

    On to the goals...
    Sunday goals recap:
    - Pick up P from sleepover ✅
    - Head to parents place for lunch and pick up L ✅
    - Laundry and finish cleaning ❎ some but not all
    - June challenge ✅ was about 50 cals over but I logged it all!
    - lay out running gear ✅
    - Bed by 9:30 ✅

    Monday goals:
    - morning run ✅ longest ever at 18km! 1:44
    - pack snacks and schoolbags ✅
    - GaG on arrival ✅
    - home lunchtime for car and shake ✅
    - hydrate! ✅
    - call new school with reference for IW ✅
    - groceries on way home ✅
    - kids hair wash
    - June challenge
    - bed by 9:30

    The distances I’m running suggest I can do a half marathon. But when I think about it I feel so scared! I know that’s silly. Logically I can see that I am pretty fit, but inside I still sometimes feel like the unathletic fat girl who would never be able to run. I definitely need to work on my confidence. Any tips please send them my way.

    My husband's average half time is 1:30, and he's qualified for Boston 4x (run 2x). He is a beast. Even he struggles to find his groove the first mile or 2, just push through that. My daughter is running her first half this year and he told her "If you can run 10, you can finish a half". He has her training only up to 11 miles.

    When I run, especially hills I have a mantra "fast & light". When my legs feel like lead, "fast & light". It helps me some. I also have a tendency to get a cadence locked in my head, and just try to keep it going.

    When I ran my first half, the furthest I had ever run was 10 miles. The day of the race I was nervous as all get out. I had the added pressure of running with my cousin. He and I have always competed over everything. About 9 miles in, I felt a wall of doubt, but I heard the people around me with similar fears and I decided if I quit it would give them the excuse to quit. That kept me going. I finished in 2:01:59.

    My second half marathon, about 5 months later, I didn't train for at all. I decided to do it a week before the race because my daughter would be at a gymnastics skills camp there. My long runs those days was ~5 miles, but I was extremely fit and very active. I just wasn't running much. That morning, my husband dropped me off in a strange city and my doubt was crazy high. Well, I'm stubborn and highly competitive so I played a little game my husband taught me. Ok, not really a game, just knowing how to size up the competition (realistically). So basically, I picked 3 women. One was a stretch goal (she dropped me at the 10 mile water stop). The next two were my best guess for similar times. When the first lady left me, I was pushed by the notion that one of those other two women would catch me and pass me. I did not want that to happen. I finished a little slower than I'd hoped, 2:01:05, but I finished. The one lady crossed about 5 minutes after me. The other lady was sitting on a picnic table eating a Popsicle when I finished. Guess she was ahead of me and stayed that was.

    I guess for me, what I needed was a reason to push when my mind said "This is too much for you". Find your incentive. For me it was those around me, whether I was competing with them, trying to stay ahead of them or trying to be an encouragement by not quitting.

    My half goal was under 2:00. At each race doubt caught up to me in the homestretch. Literally I could see the finish line and I just stopped. I thought I was way behind pace and I just broke emotionally. If I hadn't done that I would have met my goal. Don't give up your goals to fear. You've got this.

    @nimackey98 I'm sorry but your friend's response to you does not sound fair. I hope she can understand your struggles and move forwards, 30 years is a long time and should have space for understanding and forgiveness. Hugs for you.

    JFT 6/24


    Going to go for a walk then a swim :)
    Healthy food choices :)
    Lots of water :)
    Dinner at home :)
    Bed early -- Not bed time yet but I am definitely going to do this.

    Feeling a little better this evening, and definitely tired out. I'll absolutely be going to bed early! It was a hectic day trying to get some things accomplished since I was gone all weekend. Went for a brisk walk then did a few laps, spent some quality time with my family. Managed to stay under calories today and eat pretty clean so hoping the scale goes back down as the water retention goes away.
