I lost all that momentum from.last week.
I don't know what's been wrong with me. I feel like I've got lots of brain fog. I can't quite focus and I'm sleeping more than normal again.
Which indicates to me that its my thyroid but I've not missed a single dose for a month and I take it properly (before breakfast, no caffeine or food for 30 mins)
*sigh*. I dunno maybe it's just the time of year?
I've barely spoke to anyone today, not even my partner, just sat by myself in my own misery.
But I had a bath, shaved my legs (they were getting gorilla like LOL) and still feel a bit miserable.. But clean and miserable.
Must just be an off day for me!
Send me some positive vibes for tomorrow! (wheres @maryrobinson40 when you need her?!)
Just posting in solidarity of gorrilla like legs lol. Bug hugs and all the positive vibes for a better day for you tomorrow!!!1 -

Hello all!
Back after my hiatus. I lost a bit of motivation after the winter weather started setting in, along with the darker shorter days. I also started seeing someone and had loads of family get-togethers (I'm not complaining!) but this led to me dropping off the face of the earth for this group. I have missed you all so much! The good news is that some of my habits have stuck, and despite minimal exercise this last month, my diet changes led to me maintaining my weight loss! So now I want to reboot and lose these last 20 pounds. And learn to exercise during winter as well, so I'm not an out of shape blob come spring. Love you all my sister tribe-happy to be back!
For tomorrow:
Up with alarm
Drink 80 oz. of water
Work out in am
Follow the Mayo Clinic Diet 2-week plan (DAY 2!)
Track and post here6 -
@mytime6630 - hugs! What a difficult time with concerns over your niece. Don’t sweat the weight uptick. I’m sure you’re right and it’s mostly water/food from Thanksgiving etc. You’ve been super active with leaf raking and all kinds of other things I am sure it will balance out.
@slittlemeister - great questions to consider. I’m thinking now about my start, stop and maintain...
@Bex953172 - sorry you’re feeling rubbish. Other than thyroid, what else could it be? Are you sleeping enough? I know you were blasting through the activity last week with some days on 3 workouts. Could you aim for 30mins a day this week and see if it gives you a mood boost without exhausting you?
@snowflake1968 - your company makes me so cross on your behalf! Just horrible people. I’m so sorry you have to tolerate this but happy for you that it’s nearly over. Fingers and toes crossed for the job opportunity.
Lovely to see lots of people back here after a break. X4 -
Hectic day yesterday and another busy one today. Woke up at stupid o’clock again this morning (last night?!!) and I’ve been doing housework and various admin until it’s workout time. Slightly worried that I’ll be ready to go back to sleep by then though! Really need to fix this sleeping issue. I go to sleep the minute my head hits the pillow but rarely manage more than around 4 hours. Not good..

Ah Bex .... so sorry you had a bad day. Somedays are just like that though ... whether it be the weather, thyroid, or you are just plain worn out and tired! You kicked butt all last week exercising .. maybe your body is just saying to take a day and rest. Massive hugs to you!
I hope tomorrow you feel much better. And don't forget how hard you worked to get those 10 pounds back!!! Don't let one day stop you from keepin on!!
Now, go and put some pretty make up, dress in some nice clothes, and let yourself rest (if you can with 3 little ones!). Take a walk outside and soak in some fresh air. And give yourself lots of credit for all that you have done.
Heres lots of positive vibes 4 -
SO my goals for today.
1. log all my food
2. go to walmart -- buy a food scale! I have not been measuring my food ... I know this is also a part of being successful.
Not enought time today
3. mindful eating. Stop and drink water, especially in the evenings when I want to give into emotional eating Went to a zumba class tonite.... and it really helped. Not only got me out of the house so the evening is not so long, but with the exercise in the evening, it was fresh in my mind ... so didn't want to erase it all with mindless eating.
4. check YMCA for classes in the evenings. Yes ... and zumba class was at 7:30. I had a hard time keeping up though .. but at least I was moving and shaking for 60 minutes!
5. read response cards during the day
6. work on tote bags Doing that now
7. clean up sewing room
8. help hubby with work
9. write in journal. I also started a new journal, to keep track of my weekly caloric goals, and to write my feelings, thoughts, etc.
10. try and call niece again
11. sit down while I eat!!
12. get back on here ... be accountable. Do not give up. Remember that nothing taste as good as being healthyfeels. feels.
JFt, Tues
1`. log all food
2. go to walmart if I have time
3. mindful eating
4. sit while eating
5. read response cards
6. work on tote bags
7. write in journal
8. try and call niece
9. concentrate on water - 2 c every meal, sip on water in the evening
10. listen to podcast
11. do SKY breathing (I think thats what its called)3 -

I've slacked some lately with my eating, but I've still been good about getting to the gym, so I haven't lost the progress I made previously. In a year I'm down about 40 lbs and go to the gym regularly (something I NEVER thought I'd say...haha). I have a good way to go, but I'll keep chugging along...slow and steady wins the race, right??
Great job Sarah!!! What a wonderful way to end your year .. so proud of you!!! All your hard work!!slittlemeister wrote: »What habits are you going to...
... Start?
... Stop?
.... Maintain?
For me it's:
Start: ACTUALLY making healthy choices when I socialise (e.g. eating out, dinner parties, etc.).... Including not eating all the food that is on my plate if the portion is large/ I am full!
Stop: Drinking wine in pubs. It's terrible value for money, racks up the calories, and makes me crave stodge
Maintain: My exercising and lack of snacking
I imagine yours are different from mine!
This is such an excellent post -- something to really make us all stop and think!! Thanks so much ... you helped all of us!Snowflake1968 wrote: »I'm not sure where @toaljasa has been, but on September 19th she challenged us to lose 8lbs by American Thanksgiving. I have been tracking that as well without averages, just the number on the scale and I lost 6 pounds as of last Thursday. If it had been by today's weigh in I would have made the 8. I'm pretty proud of myself for that because it sure doesn't feel like I've been making much progress.
I've missed you all this weekend, I have a bit quieter weekend next weekend, at least it's not an hours drive to get there and back so I am hoping that I don't make this a habit on the weekend. 5 more show days to go!
Great job! And we missed you! I figured you are so busy with your craft shows!Hello all!
Back after my hiatus.
We missed you!! And so happy to see you back. Great job in maintaining!!5 -

Hi All,
I would suggest learning the sudharshana kriya from an art of living center which is spread out all over the world. I am yet to see a youtube video showing how to do it. People with certain health issues are not supposed to do this which they ask before starting the kriya. To tell you all the truth, I'm not confident in suggesting it to anyone after reading mixed reviews of health. For me, I can confidently say it helped me during my depression & it hasn't done me any harm.3 -

This is the video I had watched. Are there reviews on it saying it is unhealthy? I did it this morning while watching the video ... looks simple though, and I don't know if we have a art of living center near us, nor would I go though. But you intrigued me when you said it helped with depression, so I was going to jsut try it for a week.

@mytime6630 : I do it differently, fast & slow breathing in a different pattern using both nostrils. But the concept looks the same. It should be done only once everyday as per instructions. I have done it for 60+ days without missing a day & I'm fine. Like I said before, I'm just confused after reading mixed reviews. I have also read reviews of it benefiting people with depression. And my experience says so too.
How do you feel after doing the one shown in video?
Take a look at this: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-step-by-step-method-of-practicing-Sudarshan-Kriya
Also, you can do a google search on 'Sudharshana kriya reviews'. It is called the Happiness program under Art of living.

A few weeks ago maybe even months, time seems to be flying, I cleaned out my hope chest and went through some boxes in my craft room. When I did this I came across pictures of people with Santa and thought I would actually display them this year at Christmas. Tonight I went searching for other pictures to display. This is me and my Dad Christmas Eve 1988. I was expecting our eldest and we were comparing bellies. I was about 6 weeks from my due date.

Ah man, I fell asleep finally at around 2 am.
My partner sent me downstairs for coughing at around 3.30... I tried to get back to sleep, couldn't do it. So watched YouTube videos and then I started to feel. Sleepy around 5am until Marley started shouting me saying she'd been sick, fortunately it was just water she threw up from. Coughing so I changed her sheets and it's now 6.25am and my. Alarm goes off in 5 mins!

I really want to go get my e cig from.the bedroom. But don't want to wake my OH!
But anyway, I took a pic of Casey yesterday in ultimate chill out mode haha

I noticed that you meditate. How do you do it? And how do you feel afterwards? I can't seem to get myself to sit still to meditate.0 -
