    Good morning all! Did my run this morning (w4d2 of C25K), then broke my fast with a delicious scrambled double yolked turkey egg with some low fat turkey sausage in it and half a doughnut.

    @jessiquoi - love the little bit of whimsy with the tall feathery stuff against the "blank slate" of a wall!

    Hello to @wellthenwhat ! How often do you fast? Do you fast for health or spirituality? And well done!

    Hello to @mbam89 ! Zumba is a blast. What a good way to get moving! Good for you!

    Good work on the treadmill, @jessiquoi ! Wooooo!!

    I'm doing poorly at tracking my sugars. But, on the whole, feel more connected to my dieting self! So, today, I'm trying to get in some more calories burned! I sawed up a tree and carried it to the street. Google Fit counted it as "walking, slow pace".

    For my Beautiful Behavior tonight, I am writing this from my lawn chair, barefoot, digging toes into the grass.

    Love to all.

    Good evening, all.

    I see everyone is doing well.

    Update: Completed 89 minutes of Lifting arms, abs and then Incline cardio on the treadmill. I procrastinated until the afternoon to go to the gym. I sat and watched Scyfy movies. I didn't feel like going but once I was there, I kicked booty. I just made and ate dinner, I'm full! It's refreshing to know exactly what's in my recipe and I weigh it on my food scale. Unlike guesstimating when I eat out.

    Thought for today: I regret that workout, said no one ever! *Just think if I would have decided to skip the gym, I would feel so bad. The gym is my therapy, it's my time to work on myself for myself. I feel so powerful leaving the gym. *I will share a pic soon, I'm too lazy to get on my computer and my phone won't cooperate.

    Good morning, all!

    Happy Sunday to you.

    It's going to be a rough day to get exercise. I slept poorly last night. These are the days when commitments to self are truly tried. :|:(:|:/:#:s:D:p:)

    Ehhhh. We got this!

    Love to all.

    @aleahurst I do it once a month. It's for multiple reasons. It is an exercise in self control, it helps keep small portions satisfying, keeps me in tune with my body, and makes me more aware of the food crisis other people face. Plus I figure if I am ever in a crisis where food is not immediately available, I will know how to function without food.

    @wellthenwhat - I would call your fast a spirituophysical goal. (Is that a real word?) Wow! Cool.

    Google Fit says that I just spent 20 walking. In actuality, 3 hours in the yard, cleaning under the gum tree. It looks so much better now.

    Success! I finally got into the gym both Saturday and Sunday. The diet...under calories? I'll do better at planning ahead this week and get back on track.

    I bought a face mask! But kind of ran out of time to do the face mask/nail painting/movie watching thing I was hoping to get to this weekend.

    So this is me reminding everyone and myself to make time to be nice to yourself! <3

    Had amazing barbecued brats and hamburgers. Plus a bunch of Easter candy, I didn't stay in my goal very well. I think I am going to lower my calories during to week in order to give myself room to go 'overboard' on the weekends.

    I love the idea of this thread!!!

    I played softball for the first time in years today. I had forgotten how much I love it!!! The way the bat vibrates when hit the ball just right!!! And then being sweaty and gross because you were having fun.

    One of those days where you step back and watch the curtains move in the wind and listen to the frogs outside.
    Goodnight everyone, peace be with you

    Hello this is Diane back on again. I got really busy with family and work things and again stopped logging food and checking in here. When I stop checking in it all just falls apart. So. Here's to starting again. I have gained a few pounds so my first goal is to get back to where I started---and then buckle down.

    @dlm4mom - hey, Diane! Nice to see you back.

    @susanrobison32 - your softball game sounds awesome!

    @wellthenwhat - good for you realizing what you need!

    @ParanormaLauren - I hope you got a few minutes of be-nice-to-you time!

    Pushing myself to burn a few more calories each day is kind of leaving me nauseated. So, I may back off just a little to see what is wrong. I was hoping to feel more connected to my healthy self. I should accept a slower pace! I have made good connections here.

    My beautiful behaviors for tomorrow:
    1. Spend a couple minutes in prayer to start feeling more connected to good health
    2. Drink lots of water
    3. Clean the fridge
    4. Dig toes into grass
    5. Spend time with Mom

    Sweet dreams! Love to all.

    Lea
