    Im battling a drinking problem (I really enjoy beer and wine) and am trying to wean off safely. With the holidays coming up, it's gonna suck *kitten*.

    I have decided to give up alcohol again fully. I seem to binge drink these days when I do drink. I no longer just have ever 1 or 2 I have the bottle. So no more for me.

    In the interest of page count, what are you considering for goals/resolutions in 2017?

    Here are mine:


    1. A 350 pound deadlift, at least. (Currently one rep max is 315.)
    2. Ten pull-ups in a row! (Can do six.)
    3. I paid off all my credit cards this morning!!! Goal is to keep them that way.
    4. Fit comfortably into my tightest pair of size 10 pants. Don't really care what the scale says.

    Goals
    • One power lifting competition with provincial qualifiers.
    • Learn conversational french (Basics!) - in progress, looking at signing up for a class as well.
    • Go sky diving
    • Do a ceremony (hippy things yall!)
    • Learn and use tarot cards - already in progress
    • Help win Letnick campaign - grow connections
    • Be more involved with community charities
    • Invest money wisely - LOOKING AT BUYING A CONDO!
    • Travel to one international place (US counts)

    I wish I could hit a powerlifting comp. If that happens for me, total bonus!

    Lately I have been hiding from the scale, with the super heavy lifts I've been doing I find that my weight is higher than what I had expected. I have some crazy anxiety over the whole weight gain thing so I stepped away for my own sanity.

    I've been scale-free for quite some time now, and it is wonderful!

    I need the accountability to the scale. Otherwise I convince myself I am not gaining weight. When I am. Even if I miss a few days.

    I've been very good about logging and working out. Totally honest with all of that so I know that I'm doing everything right. Obsessing over the scale was driving me crazy and pretty pointless. I'm much happier now. I get that some people need it though. Whatever works.

    It was closed for renovations on our wedding anniversary in September of this year. It was closed one or two other times when we tried to go..can't remember when though.

    Done with my last patient. Getting ready to book out of here for the evening. I am really glad to see so much activity today. It helps get me stirred up and headed in the right direction as far as getting my stuff together.

    Have a good night, LeeAnn. I'm out in about 45 minutes. Time for gym therapy!

    Well I've been good with logging but not working out! You have always done great and look fabulous, so no scale is clearly working for you!

    I'll bet you could surprise yourself if you sat down and painted something. Abstract isn't right or wrong.. it's just expressing how you feel and moving paint around. :)

    Can someone please explain to me the obsession with mesh in leggings right now?

    What I want to know is what's with the obsession with LEGGINGS right now? I had to shop for HOURS and in like four different malls just to find ONE pair of pants that weren't leggings in the stores here. :neutral:

    I only have one pair of leggings that are NOT for the gym, and wear them very rarely. All my other leggings are gym wear, and I wear them constantly (going to the gym, not for athleisure).

    Me too. Leggings are not an attractive look on me. But I wear them constantly at home. And yoga pants.
    I live in yoga pants at home if we don't have guests. When I leave the house, I wear jeans..then right back into my yoga pants when I get back home.

    Me too! So comfortable.
