@Kuhl50 - that’s great you had your appliances delivered. A lot of calories are burned cleaning.
I think Rodger will take this very seriously. If nothing else just the cost alone related to diabetes is crazy. He’s walked the last two days and has been studying up on what he should and shouldn’t eat.
@SERmom3 - you are doing so well on the no chip challenge! I am not doing as well.

I did nothing I wanted to. I had a bad headache all evening too which didn't help.
And we got take out for dinner. I got a chicken parmesan sandwich but I didn't get cheese fries like normal so I guess I'll take that as a win.
I'm definitely going to try and get the goals from yesterday done today. We'll see!

GRATITUDE: I am grateful for my family.
WOTY: Habits4 -
I had a bit of a messed up weekend. I had trouble sleeping, which normally isn't a problem because once I've done the girls breakfast and set them up with some telly I know i can get at the most an extra hours nap.
Except, the kids just wouldn't be quiet, wouldn't settle down at all. So no sleep, but no big deal, it happens. Except they did it on Sunday too. So by Sunday I was really feeling it and I'm pretty sure I didn't really speak to anyone properly till about 3.30pm lmao!
But despite being tired, I got even more done? I scrubbed the stairs, painted the skirting boards on the stairs, painted the stair walls, painted all the upstairs bedroom skirtings, then painted two feature walls upstairs and downstairs, stripped saskias room and Marleys of toys and moved drawers. And this is on top of general cleaning and washing (this did get just left in the end lol)
All that ^^^ just because I'm having carpet fitted today (finally!!!)
I panicked because I knew I needed to paint but wanted to do it before carpet. Because when glossing I always get it on the carpet no matter how much tape or sheets I use to protect the floor lol!
So now its done I don't have to do that for atleast a year.
And today I'm still shattered because I haven't caught up on sleep yet and its Marleys birthday!
Bring on the coffee ☕6 -
I’ve been lost in action for a week or so and in need of a mini reboot. I had a good week off, got lots of exercise so finally feeling a bit fitter. But... I ate pretty much what I fancied and did quite a lot of guessing with the logging.
Today I am back on the case!
JFT (Monday):
Log everything, stay in the green.4 -
@Bex953172 , it's amazing how fast you can paint when you have a carpet deadline!littleblackskirt wrote: »

@Snowflake1968 - I know that once I break my streak and eat chips, it’ll be all over. Trying to hang on as long as I can. It’s actually getting a tiny bit easier. And it helps that the scale has gone down since I started, so that’s always a good motivation!
SUNDAY:
- pick up party mess🟢
- NO CHIPS🟢
- log everything🔴 / stay green🤷♀️🔴
- Laundry🔴
- Softball! - first 2 games of the season🟢
The softball season finally kicked off yesterday. Two of my girls had games. It was so nice to feel a sense of normalcy. Made me a little emotional just being there. Happy to have it going, but sad seeing the kids trying to keep their distance and wearing masks. But I guess they need to get used to it (if/when) we go back to school.
JFT MONDAY:
- Log everything / Stay green
- NO CHIPS
- Exercise
- Practice music
- Dishes / laundry
- Meal prep
JULY CHALLENGE:
In an attempt to refocus this month, I’ve decided to try and give up chips. This will be extremely difficult. I eat them almost daily. They are my weakness. I’m using a bikini as my emoji, since that will be a goal for next summer!
*************NO CHIP CHALLENGE*************

Monday goals
Stay green
Only fruit and veggies for snacks
No:beer, m&ms, ice cream or anything else as a snack that can’t be picked off a tree or vine
1 hr tempo ride after work
The frustrating thing about weight maintenance and just staying healthy in general is that you can’t really get to your goal then cruise. Even maintaining takes mental effort. My week of vacation helped me learn just how easy it is to go backwards. Happy to report I’m getting back to baseline quickly but I find myself longing for endless m&ms and pints of ice cream and beer. Well maybe not so much the beer but you get my point.
Back to the fight, see yah tomorrow6 -

AND I'M OUT OF THE 200'S!!! Lol. Sorry. I'm definitely going to try and keep these trend going! I wish it wasn't so gross out all the time because I would love to go for a walk again. But 95-100° with 80-100% humidity is very not good for me. 😭 I've been trying to do in-home work outs but it just hasn't been working. I'm ready for fall I think.
Okay, onto some goals!

Was rather disappointed in my hike yesterday, I'd allotted 2 hours, but the trails at the park I went to were quite short (but with nice elevation). The weather was perfect, slightly overcast and in the mid 70's. I only got an hour instead of 2 and was in a funk about it all day. I know it is still better than nothing, but when my plans are disrupted it messes with me mentally. Anyway, I didn't do much the rest of the day but take a nap and watch the telly. I also didn't have much of an appetite, but ate a little dinner. Then I was so hungry at night I couldn't sleep so I had a bit of a snack at like 1:00 am. Not surprisingly, my weight is up a bit today. Looking at my spreadsheet, I'm still within 1 pound of my projected loss. This should settle my mind, but it isn't.
JFT Goals
- Weigh in +0.4 lb disappointing
- Work by 8:00
- Check in with MFP
- Protein bar for breakfast
- 11:00 am Zoom virtual tour of University of Rochester
- Home by 5:00
- Rowing workout, 1K warm up, 3 min rest, 5x 5K w/2min rest.
- Walk
- Put away laundry
- No cookies/candy
- No late night snacks
- No alcohol
- Bed by midnight
Have a great day y'all!3 -
@HEGoddard0928 Way to go! That is a super motivating plateau to break through, mentally as much as physically.
I haven’t been making daily entries here the last week or so but I do read it daily. My head messes with me. Sometimes I need to pull back and only write in my journal, rather than in the Community, to keep myself on track. I had a long texting conversation with a friend yesterday and that helped put things in perspective.
Soooo, for today, Monday 7/13
1. Exercise
2. Log all food, stay in the green
3. Prepare the foods I need to eat, not just what other family members want.
4. Grocery shopping for produce
5. Make a schedule for the week with reminders on my calendar. I need more structure!3 -

I’ve been flat out since Thursday working on finishing DGS’s Birthday Gift. Delivered it to him yesterday at family celebration for 3 birthdays, 1 graduation and a new job. It was great to see people face to face again, albeit at a distance. Granddaughter flies back to Oxford on Friday.
We are dog-sitting for elder daughter this week.
Hope everyone has been doing okay. I will try and read back some time today.3 -
PS: it was only us and elder daughter’s brood (7 people) so not a mass gathering by any means 😂3
