@emgracewrites - I once had a VP when I was complaining about the time it took to do things ask me to write everything I did for a week. I even wrote the time it took me to write her stupid list and still didn’t get help.

@pridesabtch - hope your computer issues get settled. A new kitchen sounds like a lot of fun, and expensive.

Hi there! I forgot to come back and update my progress yesterday. I guess it'll take me a few weeks to get back into the habit of logging into MFP. I don't use my laptop much and I don't like trying to type on my iPad. As a matter of fact, I just had a big long update and the whole thing disappeared on me suddenly, so here I am on my laptop retyping my goals. Grrrrr.... My own fault. I hit something I shouldn't have I'm sure, but still....it's annoying!

Hope you're all having a good day! :flowerforyou:


JFT Wednesday, June 12th

Yeah it was a lot of drama but good news is today the neighbours kids ball came over, I threw it back straight away and she was actually nice to me and told her kids to say thank you. So thats ended. And as for the ex-friend I dont Think she's gonna bother me again. I'm not even going into the town centre for a while. I have a bus pass so anything I need in the town centre I can get somewhere else in nicer areas. Where we live is kinda "rough" in comparison to where I grew up.


Little update from me. I bought a 30kg weight set not long ago, can't remember if I mentioned it. But we finally got round to using them, they're brilliant, bit bulky but it's all interchangeable from straighbar/curlbar/dumbbells and even into a kettle bell. We bought some protein for after our workouts and we bought a pre-workout to enhance our performance whilst working out. It's mostly caffeine.

Anyway, tried that today and I've been SO jittery, despite a big workout. So think maybe do a half scoop next time rather than a full one 😬 oops.
Dreading tomorrow when my muscles are gonna be sore! But we take 2 rest days after each workout. Plus the ab roller is killer 😂

Food wise I've not been logging really but I'm not eating as much anyway. I'm quite happy with the way that's going in my head.
And I've noticed my face and legs and ash said my arms look thinner today so yay for me!

JFT Wednesday 12th

Only one snack yes
Be mindful with food yes
Pay tax bill yes
Walk dog yes, 55 minutes
Gardening, if dry yes, before the rain started

I got as far as looking in the biscuit tin on my way to bed last night, before I came to my senses lol. So one planned snack in the afternoon after dog walk. I'm finding it hard to eat well right now so pleased at even a very small victory. I really need to start logging again.
Still trying to walk the dog every day, but my back is pretty sore. In fact, I ache all over. My grandson arrived very early as he wanted to eat breakfast in my house (he brought his own cereal lol) and I was even struggling to walk down the stairs, so stiff first thing in the morning.

JFT Thursday 13th

Only one snack
Be mindful with food
Walk dog
Do bins for Friday morning
Laundry
Gardening

Hoping to do something in the garden before it rains again. I think it's rained every day this month. My garden is much bigger than I wanted, and there's an awful lot to do in the summer to keep it under control.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your back! I’ve been MIA for a bit…did you hurt yourself or do you have back issues? I have arthritis in many joints and it’s miserable especially when it rains. Hope you feel better soon! 💞

I think it’s adorable that your grandson came early with his own cereal just so he could have breakfast with you! 🥰

Also, good for you with only having one snack! Every small victory should be celebrated! It’s all those small victories that lead to our success!

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.

Also, just remembered I need to have my coffee stuff quite early tomorrow because i’m taking DH to an early appt.

@Snowflake1968 I love Michaela's owl bank! She's very talented.

JFT Thursday 13th

Only one snack 2, or maybe 3. Not good
Be mindful with food meals were fine, snacks not
Walk dog 45 minutes, avoided the rain again
Do bins for Friday morning yes
Laundry yes
Gardening yes, a bit more done

JFT Friday 14th

Only one snack
Be mindful with food
Walk dog
Order autumn bulbs, too many to choose from!
Make phone calls
Indoor stuff

I'm not going to do any gardening today, I think it's meant to rain most of the day anyway. I need to rest my back a bit more, and I have loads to do inside.

My only goals for today are to log my food and survive the workday. I’m being pulled in so many different directions at work I don’t even know which way is up. It feels like this week has been one giant drawn out Monday, and next week looks like it’s going to be even more ridiculously busy. My company talks about how they care for the mental health of their employees, but they sure don’t practice what they preach.

Happy Friday! :flowerforyou:

JFT Friday 14th

Only one snack 3
Be mindful with food meals fine, snacking not
Walk dog 40 minutes
Order autumn bulbs, too many to choose from! Not yet. Really, how hard can it be to just choose a few?!
Make phone calls 2 out of 3
Indoor stuff some, not nearly enough

I'm not going to do any gardening today, I think it's meant to rain most of the day anyway. I need to rest my back a bit more, and I have loads to do inside.

I am amazing myself at how much I can procrastinate and how long it's taking me to do anything. Seriously need to get on with things.

JFT Saturday 15th

Only one snack
Be mindful with food
Foot exercises
Housework
Find a blanket or two (planning an indoor den with grandson next week)
Order bulbs (last day for discount)

I'm not listing a dog walk, as she was limping last night. I'll see how she is in the evening. All my family is away this weekend, so the dog is at mine for a sleepover, it will be a very quiet weekend.
