I just read in the news that instead of toilet paper, hair dye and other personal grooming products are now flying off of the shelves. Here is a new F2F group challenge. We want to see it all from you, the success stories, the greying roots, the crazy beards, the long bangs, the tussled hair. Post photos of your grooming successes, challenges or fails relating to you, your family or your pets. Maybe you have discovered your inner hairdresser or pet groomer? Maybe you went a little to crazy with the scissors? Maybe your roots are in high contrast right now? Show us what is going on!

You can post photos and commentary at the thread link here:
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10792163/the-good-the-bad-the-really-not-good-grooming-photo-challenge#latest

Have fun and we will keep this challenge going as long as you like!

My irritation level with the app is high right now. This will be the third time I have tried to post and it just disappears.
All in all, things are better. I'm just going to leave it at that because I'm not typing everything all over again, again.

Steps 4/13 10,304

I drank so much water yesterday and my puffiness is gone away today. I did get my 4km walk in yesterday. My goal is to get a 10k walk in eventually. Problem is I am a slow walker, so it will take me about 2.5 hours. Maybe my pace will pick up eventually.

Today’s goals
1. Walk 4.5 km
2. Tai chi
3. Drink minimum 8 cups water
4. Stay within calorie goal
5. Pick a closet and declutter

not sure why that line is there. Is there a way to edit or delete a post?

Check-in

4/13 steps: 8220

I only walked out to the mailbox twice. The rest of those were from tidying the house and putting laundry away. Getting out of weekend mode.

I think I will just keep doing what I can do on the step challenge. It still is alot more than what I was doing a month ago, and that's what is important, right?

Yesterday's goals:
1. Track food: Started strong, but somewhere along the line I quit.
2. Hydrate. Yes
3. Stay under calories for the day: I doubt it! We had easy chicken Alfredo for supper and I didn't skiml on my portion!
4. Core workout: yes



Today's plan:

1. Core workout video
2. Morning Routine
3. Rest for 30 minutes
3. Lunch for hubby
4. Rest for 30 minutes
5. Sew!!!!
6. Make supper

Today is the day. I plan to finish sewing the dress I'm sewing for a friend of mine.

The rest of this week I want to spend finishing my started projects. It's my nature to start things and be enthused but eventually I leave it undone. Why? I've been listening to a book on the birth order and apparently that's a first born trait. I'm actually a last born but maybe a functional nfirat born or only child since my closest sibling is & years older than I. Hopefully I can learn something to help my own poor habits.

Health goals for today:

1. Track food. All day long this time.
2. Hydrate.
3. Stay under calories for the day.
4. Core workout

I have to drink a ton of water today. I made a casserole with rice last night. I was silly and used a lot of soy sauce on mine. It didn’t need it as it had lots of flavour. My weight jumped almost 3 pounds this morning. I got the 4.5 km walk in yesterday so I am going to try for 5km today.

Today’s goals
1. Drink at least 10 cups of water
2. Walk 5km
3. Walk 10,500 steps for challenge
4. Stay within calorie goal
5. Tai chi

I had a huge thing typed out and then hit done instead of post!

We had take out for supper last night and I'm thinking it messed with my weigh-in. I seldom eat takeout, and certainly not the amounts of simple carbs I consumed last night. I'll was comfort eating after receiving some emotional news.

Yesterday was pretty a much failure as far as health goals go. But I'm getting my energy back! My doctor currently has me on progesterone every day of the month. I think it's not the right dosage for the follicular phase of my cycle. I had about a week and a half that I was really low again. Buut I'm up and running now. (Or at least I was yesterday.)

I finished sewing the dress for my friend, got it packaged up and in a drop box.

Spent time sifting through a whole bunch of old papers. And shredding and throwing them away. How liberating it can be to get rid of some of that old stuff!

I did save one dear little diary from 8 year old me. I just love the entries like the one at Christmas time that says 'Today we played and got very fat!'.

Then in the late afternoon I got the wild urge to rearrange our bedroom. We have this massive bedroom, so there are many options. I moved all the furniture around in there, and tidied and moved decor around and suddenly it feels like a luxerious B&B in our bedroom. I'm so pleased with it.

I still want to finish up more unfinished projects this week. A huge important one is to finish switching around which room is sewing/craft room and which room is office. Each room has a big heavy desk in them that I'm not moving, so there will be lots of little stuff to move. That should help get steps in

I'm hoping to work on that today. Today is supposed to be my rest day from exercise.
However it may be a complete rest day if it needs to. I didn't have a good night last night. Didn't sleep until after 3am. Not sure why that was. Did drink tea in the evening. Maybe too much caffeine?! :

Today's health goals:
Log food.
Stay under calories.
Hit post reply instead of done when I get done typing this.
