    I spent the first 4 days in hospital and had my gall bladder removed. Haven't been able to exercise as required to rest. Still managed to lose 3.4lbs.

    WHEN: You're on a run and hit a tough hill
    THINK: This hill is tough, but I am tougher

    WHEN: Your to-do list has you tempted to skip a workout
    THINK: Exercise gives me energy and makes me feel happy

    WHEN: Your muscles are fatigued and you still have one more set left
    THINK: I am powerful, I am unstoppable

    WHEN: You argue that there’s no way you’re putting on spandex-anything today
    THINK: 30 minutes of effort, lifelong rewards

    WHEN: You feel defeated that your Warrior I looks nothing like the instructor’s pose
    THINK: Strong, focused, determined

    How do you push through that annoying voice in your head?

    Sounds like you're on the steady road to recovery Onoiam50 - glad you're still with us in this challenge. Slow and steady still wins the race.

    Happy Sunday Team MFP CC

    Sorry to hear about you being in the hospital. Hope all is well. Congrats on the loss.

    Hello to all the Calorie Counting Countesses!!! Yesterday I did an 8.5 mile walk, getting ready for a half marathon on March 1st. It was cold and I was tougher than the cold!! I spent the afternoon waiting on AT&T to fix some connectivity problems. While waiting I made a great low fat turkey chili and portioned it out into containers and put most of it in the freezer for lunches!!

    Today we have a light freezing drizzle and my outdoor activity is cancelled.

    Onoiam50 I hope your road to recovery is a speedy one. Give your body all the time it needs to heal. Do Not Try to Rush!

    Tomorrow I am trying spiralized zuchinni with quinoa!! I will let you know!! :p

    It's the first weigh-in for our team today so head over to the weight loss spreadsheet when you get a chance. I don't have a scale at home so will add mine as soon as I can.

    Fantastic - love that you don't let that crazy weather of yours stop you in your tracks. Chilli Turkey sounds yummy.

    Finally made Steel cut oats in my crock pot this week. First attempt was the Banana Nut Oatmeal I got from Julia's crock pot group. Apparently my crock pot was too hot and burned a bit on the edges despite the fact I did spray with oil first. (Still tasted very good!) Next time I tried it without the Bananas and nuts and cooked this morning when I was home to watch it. Cooked in only 3 hours (I must have a super hot crock pot) Have to say I do like the steel cut oats and they really stick with you! Nice on a cold day!

    I did a short cycle and some walking. Feeling tired today so little energy for a lot of exercise.
