    @snowflake1968, not buying them is the only thing that works for me too! I got some as my brother came over for a bbq but I think I’ll have to find other snacks or make sure he eats them all in future! Hehe!

    JFT Tuesday 23rd June

    Log everything yes
    Stay in the green yes :)
    Back exercises no
    5 fruit and veg 5
    Walk if it dries up yes
    Parents weekly shop yes
    Iron bedding no
    Cut vinyl and fit in cupboard no

    I was so lazy regarding chores yesterday, just didn't do them. Did parents shop, and a few bits for myself. I bought their bread and forgot my own. I can't manage a whole week without bread! So when the rain stopped I walked back into town to buy it. Was out over an hour but forgot to time it. I seem to be forgetting quite a lot this week!

    JFT Wednesday 24th June

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
    5 fruit and veg
    Leave car at garage and walk home
    Do chores
    Toddler-proof my house, in anticipation that they will soon be able to visit again (I still have stuff lying about on the floor from the move and decorating)
    Enjoy the garden, it's sunny today :)

    JFT Tuesday
    - Protein Bar for breakfast :smiley:
    - Meeting at 9:00 :smiley:
    - Start looking at development on new method. Nasty chemicals with this one. Dangerous and stinky. I gotta make it safe for the workers before I'll release the test. :smiley:
    - Scrounge for lunch :( Waited too long for lunch and ended up haing a slice of pizza when I got home
    - If not raining, leave work early and set up for ride so I can go straight from appt to ride :neutral: It was raining
    - If raining, Peleton or rowing :smiley: Rowing & walk in the rain
    - Dinner with friends post ride :( No ride
    - Max 2 beers :smiley: 0 beers
    - No candy/cookies/brownies :( Damn Oreos
    - Log everything :smiley:
    - Stay Green :smiley:

    Make yourselves proud!

    Food was not on point yesterday, I was under calories, but had pizza which tends to stay with me for a few days. The scale reflected that this morning. It shows a 2 pound gain which I doubt. Today is a work from home day so there is no reason my food should not be on point.

    After work today, I'm going to do the ride I didn't do yesterday, but just hubby and I. It's a nice ride, rolling hills with a climb at the turning point. I will try the hill, but I'm just not sure I'll make it. Actually I'm pretty sure I won't, but we'll see just how far I get.

    JFT Wednesday
    - Weigh, DAMN
    - Breakfast <300 cal
    - Lunch <500 cal
    - Afternoon meeting
    - Evening bike ride, accept the challenge and try the climb at the end
    - Dinner out
    - Log everything
    - Stay Green
    - Positive self talk
    - No sweets!!

    Have an exceptional day all!

    @Snowflake1968 keep us posted on your test! How is work going? My mom works at a nursing home and were in a hot spot so she hasnt been able to hold her grandbaby since he was a month old...hes almost 5 months now. Are you seeing the grands again yet?

    @hegoddad0928 im sorry about the anxiety. My depression comes out as anger not sadness. It's such a mindf@&k! I hope you have a better day today. Also...the heat makes me angry lol.

    @Snowflake1968 , that is a real tragedy. That poor family.
    My extended family has also had a suicide this year, he was still a child. I don't know how a family ever gets over something like that.

    The Covid test sounds pretty horrible, thanks for telling us what it was like.

    JFT (Thursday): log everything, stay under goal.

    @Snowflake1968 I am so sorry to hear about your cousin’s son. I can’t imagine how devastating that must be for the family.

    I can sympathise on the COVID swabbing though - I’m in one of the vaccine trials and have to do and send my own swabs once a week, it’s not nice!

    JFT - Wednesday
    15k steps👍
    Log everything 👎 Giving myself the thumbs down - was a bit lazy with my logging and I think I underdid it! Bad old habit of mine.
    Stay within calorie target 😮I don’t know! See above.
    7hrs sleep 👎
    Plan menu for the week👍

    @snowflake1968 I would usually do the same with my step children! Looking forward to seeing them more often again. Sorry about your sad family news. Mental health is so important and I think it’s even harder for some men to talk about their mental welfare.

    Have a great day everyone - look after yourselves. I made some bread yesterday and had a massive slice with butter and marmalade for breakfast - I’d better get stepping! x

    I have a couple of little dozen daily tasks.
    Doctor’s phone appointment.
    Have not eaten yet but bar-coded ahead of time for the coming meal. Tried to bar-code in stuff just generally not for the meal but it did not work. Getting to know the system. When does the A.I. kick-in?

    Yesterday MFP was down just after dinner, and I wasn't sure I would get dinner in before bed. I was worried that I wouldn't meet my JFT goal! It's amazing how a group like this can help a person stay on track.

    Hello all! Looks like you're all smashing it with your daily goals. Keep it up, and if you aren't where you want to be give yourself grace.

    Today I will:
    - reach 10k steps
    - drink 1.5L water (even though it makes me pee every 45 min)
    - stay at our below my calorie goal

    Why is putting laundry away the WORST part about laundry? Been there and definitely will be there again (probably tomorrow because I'm throwing stuff in the wash today). Good job on setting boundaries with your work, that's so important.

      Thu 18: 149.2🤔
      Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
      😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.

      🌷Birthday project for grandson

      We were delighted to be told that grandson has graduated from QUB with a first class Master’s. He is deferring his doctorate for 18 months as he has got a job starting on 1st July.

      I’m Intensifying my training, as I would like to improve muscle tone, stamina and flexibility. This morning I did 25 minute warm up walk, 20 minute HIIT with dumbbells, and 35 minutes Standing Pilates w/out. I will still be trying to keep under 150, but think it might be a bit of a stretch, with the extra workout time.
