It was crazy. There were 3 confirmed tornadoes in Delaware this morning. So much damage to trees and homes. Our power just got restored. It came back a lot quicker than I thought it would have.2

Good morning Fit at Fifty and Beyond Friends.
I hope you’re all doing well. Today and tomorrow are my days off, and today looks like a clean the house day, since it rained last night. Tomorrow will be a yard day.
My son goes back to college soon, so after today the packing starts. One good top to bottom tornado tidy and cleaning, then I’ll be ready to focus on packing with him.
What are you up to today?

Sorry I haven't been here much. I've got a couple bulging disks in my low back that have flared up which causes extreme pain in my low back and numbness in my thighs. Yesterday I spent the day lying on the couch with a heat pad. Today seems to be a repeat of yesterday. I was so bummed out yesterday I turned to food for comfort, not the best kind of food neither ☹️. I've got to do better today, no more comfort food! It hurts to stand on my feet so ate a lot of snack type foods that I could just grab. I need to boil some eggs and get some cheese so I've got something healthier to grab.
I've had to stop exercising for the time, at least until I can move without being in pain.1 -

So back on MFP and logging everything, determined to lose now, a little afraid of all the news report around being obese and C19 if thats not a motivator I dont know what is. Trying intermittent fasting and counting calories, and walking 2miles every day (min) hoping to see some results soon! The struggle is most definitely real

This is one of my favorite YouTube workouts. It’s a great way to sneak in 8 minutes of dancing. They call it a warm up... to me it’s medium intensity. If there is a move that my body won’t do, I just walk in place.

Confession time: I’m back up to 219 pounds after eating the most delicious nut-filled birthday cookies for my husband’s 52nd birthday.
His coworkers sent these beautifully thick and chunky cookies to our house, since my hubby is still working from home. No one but me likes nuts in our family, so I ate all of the nut cookies.
It was wonderful to eat them, but I felt horribly guilty afterwards. But, instead of going completely off the rails and continuing this caloric binge-fest, I logged each and every cookie. Yes, I went well over my calorie goals, but I counted each cookie. This made me feel better and back in control.
Thanks for listening!

Good morning! Well MFP told me today is my ninth anniversary, so I have been here awhile. I have started over numerous times during those nine years. Today is no exception. Time to make some goals and work to reach them.
SW: 215.4 (today)
1st goal: 200
2nd goal: 180
3rd goal: 160
Goal weight: ~145
So I am setting goals and will work towards them. I haven't been exercising for a long time, but love to lift weights. I plan to start with walking first, then some weight training.

@grandrory great photos of your proposed garden sight, I know it is hard work preparing the spot and doing the work now for next year is the best plan. Here is a photo of my chickens enjoying helping me clear my spot lol

The way I post them is by using a dud FB account to store the pictures then link them from there...
I have no doubt that there is an easier way but this worked for me so I am happy...
Here is a picture of my little lady.
Lily
Not the most lady like of positions but she was happy under the bed...
We got her from a neglectful home. The woman who owned her got herself a boyfriend who hated cats and used to kick her, even kicked her down the stairs on, at least, one occasion!
She is quite happy these days though.

They do a good job with the added benefit of free fertilizer lol 😂

Sorry you back is giving you trouble. I pray you feel better soon. It is no fun to be laid up in pain.

Thoughts from across the pond to you Grandrory. Take care of that back girl.

Okay.....Well, that was a big surprise to this rather unfit body...
I missed out on exercise yesterday so decided to catch up today..... Yep, two miles on the elliptical and then a short stint weight training!
The poor old muscles do not know what has hit them at the moment....Tomorrow morning is going to be sore....4
