Not a bad start. Exercised with the nephew today. He is 12. After finishing he told me, in his modest 12 year old way "I wasn't born in a nursery, I was born in a badassery!!"0 -
Badassery! I love that

I hit my 100 lbs lost mark today. Staying focused and fighting off my gremlins is the recipe that works for me.0 -
Phenomenal accomplishment. Bill!0

It may be helpful to select one area to focus your positive attitude on, thereby allowing yourself to take the pressure off of "loving" this whole experience. This is a hard task, losing weight, and trying to be positive all the time about all aspects may be asking a lot of yourself. I work on approaching exercise in a positive way because I HATE it with a passion. I cajole myself along by thinking about the benefits and how happy I will be when it is over. Conversely, I don't force myself to be delighted over vegetables or small portions of favorite foods. THAT is asking too much of my grinchy, grouchy self.
Thank you for this! You're right. I can't be perky, positive in all aspects of my life... ha! So, to be more specific, I need to be more positive about recording food in MFP. That's been getting on my nerves lately, but I also know that it is key to making me stay on track. Yay! Thanks so much!
Yesterday was a good day with all but the being positive part. So...

Survived a family get-together with my streak intact. It was one of those unknown menu situations at a fancy banquet hall. Good news was they had a buffet so I could serve myself. Made a first trip to survey the options and just get a plate of salad & veggies. Then went back for the main course after doing some quick mental math on choices and calories. Ended up the day with a slight deficit! Gremlins were crawling all over that place!0 -
Buffets... they are a gremlins breeding ground! You did really well though. Coming away from a buffet with a deficit is great!0
