After losing over 50 pounds with the help of MFP and this thread, I have been resting on my laurels and being too casual about weighing and measuring and choosing food carefully. It's time for me to recommit and get back to my good habits and behaviours.
I look forward to continuing this journey with the help of supportive and encouraging friends. The title says Women Ages 50+ but all women are welcome.
Let us know if you have goals or resolutions for July and how you did in June.

Barbie from NW WA
The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
My word for 2020 is "flexible"---both of body and attitude.

Thanks Barbie, for starting us off in July all proper like.💖. My reset button.
Thanks ladies for nice comments about my photo of my good choices today. I posted it on FB and my one friend said there was too much sugar. Sometimes you can't please people. I said yes the bagels, cheese and pickled beets had sugar, but it was good so sue me!😁
I thanked my cousin on FB for the lovely chat on Messenger. It was like I spent the day with her.👍
Tomorrow, pay bills, go to the post office to mail a handful of letters. 5 are new friends! Intro letters are so interesting. Its when you just blab about your life, your interests, ask questions and mine I just try not to ramble! For those that don't know, I have about 25+ pen pals I write to. The pen pals hail from Ireland, Australia, Germany, and the U.S.. Its a fun hobby.
I received this is a letter today. 💖 A little cross stitch of an iris flower she did!
Sweet huh! That's her and hubby as well😁. I am getting quite a fun cork board of fun things I have gotten in letters. It just makes me smile to see them!
💖Rebecca
I need to figure out goals yet for July. Stay tuned.

Thanks BARBIE
Welcome newbies
Hubby has gone to do weekly shop. I went for walk yesterday and went into supermarket for the first time in 3 months felt a bit strange.
Later will do KB workout plus cardio and a line dance video on YouTube
DH is so pleased that he has an appointment next week for a haircut, I haven’t got confirmation if mine we both go to different salons.
Stay safe

Good morning all! Happy Wednesday!
Barbie- thanks for bringing us into July! I chuckled at the thought of you not dancing because you didn't want to disturb Jake (the man who carries on conversations with Alexa and disturbs your peace. )
Okie - Love the deer pics! That doe, in the fore front of the second pic, looks pregnant! Keep a lookout for fawns!
Karen VA- Bahahahaha! Love your tantruming emoji!
It is 3:42am and I have been awake since 2am. Couldn't sleep, so just got up and made coffee and starting my day. It is going to be a looooong day.
July goals: I am back up to 244. I have prepped my veg for the week and have my meals planned. My goal for this month is a minimum five pound loss (but really going for 10).
Monday was International Mud Day, so I made some mud for the kids to play in; they had a ball. We cleaned up in kiddie pool bubble baths (water was cold, but had bubbles). Yesterday the kids got to watch the road crews begin work on my road. For some unknown reason, they decided to start at my driveway (they tore out the easement into the driveway and are putting in a new asphalt one-not sure why it is needed- taxpayer money hard at work). The kids were in heaven watching all of the construction machines. THEN...the garbage man arrived to pick up my trash! lol The reaction from the kids was like Elvis taking the stage. lol They were in heaven. Then it rained. A HUGE downpour for an hour and filled the ditch that was made at the end of my driveway. THAT got them even more crazy to see the huge mud puddle. AFter the rain stopped, we went outside and played in the pools and looked for (and found) worms. A good two days; but I was exhausted yesterday.
Anyway, just going to throw a few pics up.
lol Photo blast. Well, it is 4am. A little closer to my normal wake up time. Going to get my yoga done, have a bite to eat, put my face on and have my coffee outside with the stars and the birds and watch the sun come up. Have a wonderful Wednesday all! ttfn xoxox KJ (Kelly)

KJ lots of parents could benefit from your wonderful ways with the kids. How often do I hear them saying to littlest ‘don’t do that you’ll get dirty’ best thing for them play in the dirt, jump in mud puddles. When mine were little I let them get covered in paint at the kitchen table. They remember all these things, my grands loved our beach holidays digging and getting covered in sand. Happy memories.
