    Thanks Gail! and to you!

    Finally got on the scale; wasn't pleasant but needed a baseline starting point to determine what changes I need to make to get back to where I feel comfortable weight wise. Looking forward to the "decline" LOL. :)

    Gail - that is an awesome accomplishment!!!! And how fabulous an inspiration for you to START your new year keeping that loss?? SO impressed... I have no doubt at all this is going to be the year for you getting what you want for yourself - well done!

    I have 30 lbs I want to lose this year; but more important to me than an estimated "number" of pounds, is that I get back to a weight where I feel comfortable, and wanting to WANT to eat healthier along the way; thinking about WHAt i'm putting into my body and choosing things i love that are also good for me, rather than the crappy junk I've been shoving in for the past few months that leave me tired and listless and cranky LOL.

    Keeping it simple; focusing on eating well, eating less and moving more. That's me goals for this year. :)

    I decided to delete all my previous weight loss... as it's immaterial at the moment to what I need to do now for myself.

    I started at my original weight of 203 in July 2012, and deleted 3 years worth of check ins... felt a little weird I must admit... but the reality is it doesn't matter what I've lost before.. it matters what I'm going to do now to move forward.

    So today, I'm here to start fresh. with a new ticker of 0 lbs lost, and 30 pound of fat to lose. :)

    That's a great plan, Snoozie!! It was hard for me to clear mine out last year, but I believe it helped give me the motivation to lose some this year, instead of relying on seeing my total previous loss.

    GREAT job Gail!

    One goal today.... drink 6 glasses of water... DONE.


    Just made a big pot of veggie soup.. at least 8 different fresh veggies in there and used a low salt veggie stock, so will freeze it down later and use as a low cal filler for those times in between lunch and dinner when I think i'm gonna starve :)

    Gail - thought of your 60F temps this aft - was a beautiful day at the lake as it was just above zero - but was SO WEIRD to see sand..... and ICE together!!!! Too funny!!! Couldn't help on the way back stopping to write in the sand to make myself believe I was somewhere else!!

    yes!, That is unusual, I thought when I first looked that you were in Mexico! Carmel, maybe?
    With your Margarita on the way.......
    It's a goal anyway! lol

    I was so hungry last night that I almost blew my whole days amount of carbs!! Will do better tonight. I will eat a snack before going home.

    Suzanne, you are so committed!! I probably would just shake off the notion of walking in that Brrrrrrrr....weather. But, I realize you are a bit more used to seeing those temps than me.
    Have an awesome day!!!


    30 min. Exercise -Done!

    hahaha Gail - I knew the dream was over when I had to write in the sand with my MITTENS!! but it was a "what the hell" moment... and nobody saw me climb down there except the ducks...ha I was thinking tho I bet everyone walking by that day ALSO took a pic of my "mexico" in the sand LOL

    It's not bravery tho.... I just really dislike (I've changed from hate - positivity factor lol) the treadmill ... so if I CAN get out.. I will... I do have to lose a bit more weight tho so I can fit long johns under my pants :/

    HUGE congrats on meeting your goal today Gail! well done you! i'm aiming for a 6 glass water goal today; back to work on evening shift and some running around this morning before I go in.

    have a great day Gail - and don't sweat last nite's moment.. it's a one off, not a regular so forget about it; you've already figured out the solution of a snack! Speaking of which better throw one of those soups in my lunchbag!
