Sometimes it feels overwhelming with how long it takes to lose weight… but when I look back at the last 3 ½ months, I’m sure thankful to be down 21 pounds AND feel healthier. Had I not joined this team, I probably would have gained 5 pounds in that time. So thankful for this team’s help to keep me moving in the right direction!

Exercise & Steps: 30 minutes strength training; Day 2 of yoga; 6,736 steps
Day 4 in my string
After losing my November momentum I'm feeling a little more optimistic. Its so hard to stay on track this time of year. Trying to keep it simple... more fruits & veggies, nuts & seafood; less beef and fatty foods. Making sure I have healthy snacks... hard boiled eggs, mandarins and nuts at the ready for when I get hungry. Steps were low yesterday because it was a snowy, windy, nasty day. Trying to drink more tea.. yesterday was the second day in a row I remembered to make a cup in the afternoon. Baby steps LOL
Wishing everyone a great day!!

Day 11 in my string
Yesterday went well until nighttime. I didn't get a ton of steps helping decorate my friends house even though I felt like I was running up and down the stairs all day Lol! So after we had dinner, I was exhausted and actually was going to go up to bed around 8pm but I decided to finish up a few things, then I decided to do a Leslie Sansone video to get the exercise in and steps, then...I couldn't sleep. I was up until 4 am. I was able to sleep until 10 today but it is going to screw up my whole day AND I feel like I was hit by a truck. I kinda look like I was hit by a truck too. I also woke up to texts that everyone is coming to dinner tonight Lol! I love that they are but just not tonight. Today I have to get my hair done at 2:45 so I have a few things to do first, hopefully get to the gym with my daughter and then go. I also have to run to the store now that I am going to have dinner guests. Tomorrow I am having a "brunch" for my bunco group. I still have to plan that and it is my first holiday celebration so I am a little nervous. I need to plan that AND I need to have a plan for me for that...Off I go...the coffee isn't really helping this am, maybe the gym will.
@cyndiesstuff That is basically maintaining. It is more important that you are remaining on track especially with everything that is going on. Will they finish on time? Sorry about your client.
@bbcbw nice loss! Hope all is well!
@carlsoda those holiday parties are what usually derail me. Great job limiting what you had and getting right back on track! I also am done shopping for my dog lol! Who knows about anyone else
@ljdanny nice walk
@Shirin_K You will be in the 160s soon!! Great job!! I am happy you are doing so well and the group helps. I feel the same way.
@nstephebson01 Another nice loss! Sounds like you have a good plan and you are on track AND it is working. Great job. I want snow but we are getting a ton of rain instead this weekend

Daily check in Wednesday
Cleanse transition going well
exercise-soon
Yoga-Day 12
steps-8551
I came home last night and knocked out my yoga before I had dinner. I have a to do list to get ready for my "moon" launch this weekend. Last night involved soaking seeds and nuts. Sunflower, pumpkin, pecan, walnut and Almonds. I also am soaking GF oats. I washed the new dehydrator and all it's trays. The night before I made chili oil from New Mexico Chilies that I had ordered. I was dragging a bit but still managed to get everything done.
This morning is a different story. I woke at 5:30 am bursting with energy. Molly is usually the first one up so it was nice to be the first one down stairs. I turned up the heater, put all clean dishes away, straightened up the whole downstairs, let Lula Mae out for potty and had coffee waiting for Molly when she came down at 6:30. She was pretty surprised. I was too...lol. Then I rinsed all my seeds and nuts and started up the dehydrator. I made oatmeal for Molly and Skylynn and a to go jar of hot oatmeal with blueberries and special "fairy dust" on top for my daughter Robin to take to work with her. Then I cleaned up the clutter in the dining room and set the table with our Christmas cloth and dinner plates. Once everyone was gone I did breakfast dishes, got dressed and ran to the grocery store. Came home made a detox smoothie and packed my lunch and snacks for work. (I didn't work today until 11:30). I even had time to wash and dry my hair.
So to answer your question @cyndiesstuff....my cleanse is going extremely well! I am on day 2 of transition. Tonight I am making red swiss chard for dinner with garlic and avocado. I also have kombucha squash left over from last night. I plan to sprinkle it all with my special chili oil. Just a bit for flavor boost.
When I came to work today my co-worker said "wow you can really tell that you have lost a lot of weight". haha
Team your all doing great! Keep hanging in there. This is our health and well being that we are dealing with. Is there anything more important than that???2 -
Today I read a bloggers post about going from being a vegan to being a meat eater. I loved that blog. It is what I have said all along...we need to listen to our intuition on what is right for us. And we have the freedom to change our path as many times as we need to. That particular blogger was a vegan for 4 years and after 3 weeks of eating meat found her health had improved leaps and bounds.
There is no one right answer. Each of us is so different. And not only that...what works for us today may not work for us tomorrow.
I asked Molly a few days ago about her 3 No No's and her 3 Yes yes's. She is so extremely flexible and supportive. I don't want her getting caught up in living a life that is perfect for Angelina...but maybe not so perfect for her. So I pressed again yesterday and finally got an answer from her. Her No No's are fried food (French fries), doughnuts and ice cream ...and her 3 yes's were Apples, romaine lettuce and steak. As she pondered she said also eggs and sushi made her feel more vibrant.
We talked about strategies how we could live true to a nutrition path for both of us.
Today grocery shopping I made a point of stopping by the fresh sushi market. They made a brown rice spicy tuna roll for me to take home to Molly. She will be so happy!
I think the 3/3 is a good place to start for most of us. It kind of gets us to thinking about our bodies in relationship to food. Just because we are able to identify the no no's doesn't mean we have to stop eating them...but it does cause one to think about them...how often we eat them and when we are most likely to eat them.
If food is our medicine...what are the no no's?

Thanks for the feedback on attending these business seminars and the food situation!! I made a huge mistake this morning (day 2 of my class) and ran out of the house without eating breakfast!! So I skipped the breakfast food (pastries) they served and at lunch they had similar crappy food. I asked one of the workers if I could get a salad without dressing and they made me up a nice plate of lettuce, tomato and cucumbers!! I think I will need some protein at dinner time!!!!! Not planning ahead usually gets me in trouble and hopefully I’ve learned my lesson! Anyways, I shouldn’t have any more business meetings until after April 15th!! Happy Thursday to everyone.5

@cyndiesstuff @sleepymom5 thank you.
Im struggling to do my 3 miles walk at home. It was a rough week for me because my kids are down with seasonal infections. Plus im having flu as well. Can somebody suggest me a good detox smoothie?4 -
@bbcbw yes I can...I will have to get back to you though. For now I would look to zinc lozengers and Elderberry tonics. I actually have made my own elderberry syrup. More later with Smoothie recipe. But something that includes vit C...I love fresh squeezed OJ, strawberries (frozen), banana and kale or pineapple is yummy too.2

I'm having the same problem. Must be a MFP problem! The last update on my post feed is from Wednesday and it still says that was yesterday2 -
daily checkins
Wednesday 14 december
food - over a lot so much I can't bear to look
water on target
exercise
50 mins swimming
Thursday 13 december
food 22cals over
water under
exercise 30mins running fartlek sessions told the coach I have named it "Stitch and *kitten*" cos when I run fast I get a stictch and when I do the recovery I moan about getting a stitch.
So Wednesday wednesday wednesday, I fought the demon in my belly until mid afternoon then if hit me over the head and fed me the contents of the biscuit (cookie) barrel and the reminder of the chocolate tin. Then I went home had dinner and ate my daughter's. I was doing so well up to that point I have no idea how all those heck (sausages) happened. I had a days leave yesterday to see my daughter in her school play because I was out of rhythm I forgot to post so this is me catching up. I am in a bit of a bad place motivation wise. I am thinking big family do tomorrow, we are big eaters, so what is the point in trying to be good. I can go back to it on Sunday but what if I don't... I could try to be sensible but the demon is growling and prowling. I am sure to gain because of Wednesday. I don't know what is going on with my head. Oh moo!5 -

Love your post! I also agree everyone is so different and we need to eat for our bodies not someone elses. I eat low carb paleo. I feel great with fatty meat and plenty of veggies and healthy nuts. I feel horrible eating all those carby treats: cookies, donuts, etc. I can feel how they change my eating pattern to eat more sugar then healthy foods. It's taken how many years to figure this out LOL!5 -

Have a great Friday!!5 -

At work early, painters are painting away. Flooring guys of course are not hear. Mom has another UTI. Man... She just can't shake that. Doc put her on a month long course of antibiotics. If it does stay away after that, she is going to a specialist.
@Shirin_K yay! Nice loss. You are doing great. Your right, this is tough. That's why it is so important to stop and reflect on how good you've done. Mini milestones.
@nstephenson01 yay!! You have a nice loss this week! Good job!! It is very hard to stay on track this time of year. I always try to adjust my thinking to I will make it thru the holidays without gaining!
@sleepymom5 yeah it's Tom for me too. So I'm not really worried about it. You sound like you had a crazy day yesterday too. We need to right a book called my crazy life!!
@Mrsbell8well I dehydrated jalapeno peppers and spices from my garden this year. Next season I am going to play with that dehydrator more . And good job spoiling your wife. Lol job security!!

@amsandos sometimes if you just eat to maintanace for a day. It makes it easier. But watch out for the slippery slope lined with biscuits!!
