Checking in. I am in the city with my daughter and this morning was up much earlier then she needed to be and as its a studio unit was trying to be ver quiet. I was sitting catching up on sll your posts Nd got so inspired got dressed and went out for a walk. It was beautiful around the botanic gardens the opera house on…

I am still here, just been a bit busy lately. I love reading your posts and how you are all doing. Bit jealous about the warm weather most of you are having as we head into winter, and what looks like being a colder then usual one this year. Not so jealous about tropical storms or possible hurricanes. Having to split my…

Why is it when you go off track it is so hard to get back on. I know my head just isn't in it, today. I have bought plenty of healthy foods. And I had my meals planned for the day with the proviso that I was doing zumba tonight and now it has been cancelled. I now have to dig deep and burn some serious calories myself at…

taking in a gasp of air to try and keep it alive

<<< my girl is in pink beside her dad.

Just checking in. Will catch up with you all later, (I hope). You never know what life brings you. Have been in the city staying with my daughter since last wednesday. First to see An Officer and a Gentleman the musical. Very good. Stayed on to work thursday. Daughter had migraine. (stress) . Stayed friday for daughters…

Thanks for sharing.

Glorious sunny Tuesday. Busy day ahead, my mum (81) is unwell, I will take her groceries and clean up for her today. she wants to stay in her unit, which I understand. Just means an hour each way for me.

1.30am and not able to sleep. :frown: :frown: So frustrating as I am very tired, having a chamomile tea and will watch a bit of late night tv that should do the trick, I hope. :yawn:

Monday is always such a good day. Start the week out well. I just wish every day was Monday. Oh well. I have been given another chance to get it right this week. Weekly shopping done, lots of fresh vege in, zumba tonight. Must learn to do well no matter what pops up in my life. Important for me this week to get in some…

:flowerforyou: Hi beautiful Sunday

I will have to catch up all on the posts, tomorrow after a good nights sleep. Sorry i haven't been around much this week. At the beginning of the week my daughter was sick so i went into her. (1 hr away). Then my mum got sick. now torn between the two of them . Went to my mum Wednesday night and spent all day today…

mem I so understand anxiety attacks. :grumble: Hope you get out into the garden this sometimes helps me. :flowerforyou: Happy Mothers Day. The day is over for me, walked 8km for breast cancer fundraiser then over indulged. A good mothers day.

So much to read and catch up on, that will be tomorrows pleasure with a cuppa. Quickly tonight a note. Mothers Day is over for me as many of you just begin. My daughter and I and hubby got up early put on our walking gear and went and joined 10,000 others in doing the Mothers Day Classic 4 or 8km run/walk. No breakfast in…

Evening all. Thank you to so many of you who helped me cope with being a worrying mother. Its true, one of you said its worst being a parent of an adult child, you worry, without often the power to fix it. At least when they were little you could take control, hug, put a band aid on, talk to the teacher etc. Its nice to…

I need some advice and what better place to ask then here. My daughter seems to attract drama. Today at one her jobs, (she has a few casual jobs), her boss blasted her for a mistake that was made. He went over the top (he is a drama queen) . I also work there so know him, however, his reaction to this error was quite…

Such a beautiful way of looking at the 'helping hands' you had by you. :heart:

:flowerforyou: Cath that is an awesome lost, well done, you are off to a great start. And all that lovely home produce. :cry: Michelle, sorry to hear your news and that the trip is off or should we say just needs re scheduling. It would have been worst if your husband hurt his back while travelling. :ohwell: have not…

Just a quick pop in, I have so many posts to catch up on but the electrician will be here by 7am. I got home last night on the late train was in by 11.30pm. My botox procedure went well but it is very painful to have. Was ill for a few hours afterwards, but all good now. Went to an xtend barre class with my daughter the…

A quick good morning, have early morning doctors appointment and then straight on a train to the other side of the city ( take 1 1/2 - 2 hrs) to see my hyperhidrosis doctor and get some more botox injections. This will be my 2nd treatment. the first last November. how amazing after 51 years of excessive sweating and I mean…

Never to late. Pop on in and post and tell us about yourself. Its great here everyone sharing and caring.

I'm here. breath in, breath out... yep its still alive

Ah oh, trying to avert a bad day, 2.30pm already eaten most of my calories, come on jen you can do this, you have had 8 good days make this 9. I'm tired and have a lot to do. Thats the problem. Not enough sleep and stressing. One job at a time, one day at a time. Going to reduce this to each hour now. Make each hour a…

barbie thanks for the video, perfect timing. I woke this morning and felt like doing nothing, its cold and I am/was using that as an excuse but now I AM INSPIRED TO MOVE. :smile: Think I will use a dvd this morning. Enjoy your Tuesday/Monday evening ? everyone.

OH my. I started to reply to most of you early this morning, (yesJen its already Monday for this Jen), and then the electrician came, yay I have a working stove again, then i went to continue my replies and so many more posts had come through, and i had to get to the shops and now I'm back and there are more. no longer…

Was just checking in before I go to bed. Seven good days in a row. Yippee! Weigh in tomrrow. Better be a good one. :smile: Cath on sunny skye. What a beautiful view from your front door. How envious I am but also feel so lucky to 'meet' you and see this beautiful place. Goodnight all.

I tried wearing just the chest strap, but it didnt work the watch needs to be close by I guess to read the signal. its fun having a HRM. I use mine a lot, surprising what burns a lot of calories (gardening), and it seems a lot less my walking, I guess I'm a slow walker. I have the Polar FT7.

:heart: Barbie, great advice about the clothes, I got mine ready last night in the spare room, and I’m up ready but hubby decided last night he would like to walk with me this am but he is struggling to get up, I will wait a little longer. I think I will move all my exercise clothes into the spare room. :smile: Michelle –…

Good saturday Morning to you all. Now trying for 6 good days. Day 5 went well. Not my 5th day on MFP have been here way longer, and no, my counter does not reflect it. I have been set back to zero a few times even with daily logging, but as that number is not as important as the one on my waistband, I dont worry about it.…
