Make your own challenge! :) 

Oh my goodness jinajina0202, that is such a good idea! Goals help me SO much. Hmmmm, here's an idea: have a calorie goal each day. Fit in your meals around those goals. If it is a Friday or Saturday AND you made room in your calories, have a Stella. Bread is a total craving for me, but I don't let myself have any unless it will fit in my calorie count. I don't let myself if it will push me over my goal. Just an idea...disregard if it doesn't work for you. :) 

Jinalina/binkytexas I did make my own challenge and kept to it until the week before Christmas and then came off rails. I have the personality that when things get to easy I put up obstacles because I believe I will always win, it goes back to the time I worked in the city of London, went with the Job. I appreciate your advice and will always seek out your advice thanks Jinajina/Binkytexas 

Chestnut your probably thinking about tomorrow business meeting and you probably will be going to a nice restaurant!! so get that out of the way then restart your routine like you used to do. dumbbell a nice long walk.... you can do it! 💪🏽 

Hey Chestie❣ my English brother from another mother.. 😁. I would like to think we all have our moments, days, weeks, months, periods, eras in which motivation seems to flag. Being retired does bring it's own set of challenges with time management... 🤣. However I've found looking at health and nutrition from a 3k meter view, over a week or month. Maybe trying to do one physical thing a day, be it a 5 to 15 minute walk, 4 to 6 minute core/flexibility/mobility workout, making one healthy food choice a day and not beating myself up about "daily" goals helps. One choice will lead to two, etc... then again, with a grain of salt, I could be full of s#!t... lolol. One thing we definitely know, you think about it, care about and that's the start. Plus you've a lot of support here. You got this bro👍💪💕 

The response in the last two days towards me has overwhelmed me there are so nice and beautiful FS members out thank you, I had a nice compliment from a male friend they asked have I lost weight and that i was looking good .Bubblegum it is not the food but the wine and food that I'll be drinking! Ripsic Brother thank you for posting on my journalist is so nice to read your positive words. I started back in October with no set plans until January I think I know what plans will probably settle on them after the weekend,I think your advice will be invaluable to me because as I said to you I see so much similarities between us. Once again thank you and rest assured I will come back stronger.  

Looking forward to you coming back stronger. I know you will become a lean machine 💞💕  

Bubblegum you are truly one kind hearted person and no all the right things to say.❤ 

Chestnut, you are such a lovely person inside and out and you have a great sense of humour. I Love seeing your post and the things you write!!! ❤️❤️  

Bubblegum you sure know how to make a man feel special. 

You need to feel special because you are. Have a wonderful meeting today. Hopefully all goes your way. 💞💕 

Thank you bubblegum I am now a proud owner of two retail business units generating two rental incomes of £850 per month and £1100 per month respectively and a three bedroom flat above them that I will renting out above them I think in the region of £1200 per month any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.  

Very nice👍 life is always easier when you have enough to live and can concentrate on other concerns. Looking forward to more conversations with you chestie. We are similar in age and have lived through the same "eras" and I'm fascinated to learn and "see" your perspective of things from the british lens and share my American lens with you. Brother, it looks like it calls for at least one stella... lol. I'm a porter and stout man myself, white liquors as opposed to dark though rarely drink anymore. Enjoy!  

That's fabulous!!! Looks like you have it all worked out perfectly 👌🏼❤️ I am truly happy for you! You definitely deserve a🍺 Or 🍻💞💕  

Ripsic thank you for posting on my journal it always a pleasure to hear from you mate. Took my power nap early today after lunch time excess awoke again at about 3.00pm. Bottle of wine with the meal then a couple of Irish Coffees sent me to sleep. I guessed we were a somiliar by your post, what your fav music my man? I visit and use the American FS more than the UK find people on the American site more friendly I enjoy their banter more.  

Thanks bubblegum I need a shower to freshen up first then maybe take gf to the pub? 

I'm a musician and I love pretty much all music, not much place in my world for hate rap, hate metal, etc though I do understand it and like the beats/music. Least favorite is probably classical, however I understand it and appreciate its layers, movements and complexity. My favorite to listen currently is pop, kpop, dance music.. 🤣. What is yours? What kind of movies do you fancy? 

Lucky her! ❤️❤️❤️ 

We are in a hotel at the moment she is currently using using the facilities you know how long women take LOl, hence the the time to go on FS. 

she will definitely be a while, especially if she has long hair... 💃❤️🕺
