    Yesterday was a decent day. Our weather is absurdly warm for Montana in January. Spent a couple hours stacking firewood which I hate doing... its so monotonous but I love using our wood stove in the winter so it has to be done. I just tried to remind myself all the calories I was burning. Next week it will be cold again. The chinese barbecue pork turned out just OK.

    Today I'll plan out the week's dinners. I'm not much of a meal prepper but I think that may be the answer for lunches when I get really hungry.

    What a transformation @lenka1. You're doing so well. Hope you're feeling better! and yep, summer will be here before we know it!

    Good job @Shirin_K Together we can do this!!

    @cyndiesstuff isn't it amazing what they can do with ice sculptures?!?! Chili on a frigid day sounds delish!

    New week... new motivation! Happy Sunday everyone!

    @amsandos great job!!! And that’s wonderful on you NSV! Very inspiring. I’m looking forward to adding a weight routine in February. And it’s always good to explore how different foods enhance our performance. I started out my journey very focused on macros. I worked very hard to stay 100% in my calories and at the recommended protein level. I was happy losing .5-1 pound a week. In October I did a diet overhaul. I too researched. I was so tired of forcing the protein. I switched back to a vegan diet. Since then I have consistently loss 1-2 pounds a week on average, I feel better and I’m rarely hungry. I now focus on micros. Getting a higher quantity of fruits and vegetables was a game changer. I no longer log and am very happy with this lifestyle. My daughter has also been doing this for 3 weeks and turned me on to Dr Gregers DailyDozen app. It’s easy to use and I have started using that as my guideline. But everyone is different. I have constantly tweaked to find what works best for me.
    From a weight loss, health and performance stance this is the best I have ever felt.

    I am loving running again. Lula Mae, Skylynn and I braved the cold yesterday and did my running routine. I’m feeling so good. It started snowing as we finished.

    My sneak peak this morning has me at my January goal of 159.8. Now to hold it till Wednesday weigh in. I’m pretty excited! It was an ambitious goal.

    @mrsbell8well your food always looks so delicious. I think when I pull back on the weights sessions I will eat less meat and go for more vegetable sources. It is better for the environment. I am a bit wary of carbs as we have a high incidence of type 2 diabetes in my family. Although unprocessed carbs are better than processed. I think it is a good idea to switch things around. I get bored easily and like trying new things.

    Enjoy your running adventures. Congrats at getting to your goal.

    @CassieGetsFit2013 my daughter's birthday is also January 27! Hers was unusual as well this year. We will keep you in our thoughts this week. Hugs.

    Had a good weekend, though lazy. I did keep up with the yoga though. Calories were a little bit under - I tend to eat breakfast and only one other meal on weekends plus a snack. Still working on my puzzle - about 60 pieces left to add. Almost done with the cross stitch too, only the back stitches left. My weight dropped back to 166.2 and I'm trying to get down another .2 before I weigh in on Friday.

    Hi everyone! I am back! It is going to take me forever to catch up so I will check in later. Hope everyone is doing well!
    Thank you @cyndiesstuff for taking care of things while I was away. I really thought I was going to be able to check in more.

    Hooray! Welcome back Pam! I missed you and I know I'm not the only one. Your absence left a void. xoxo

    I'll continue in the step challenge.

    @sleepymom5 I will continue with the step challenge.

    I actually got out of bed today with no problems at 4am. It was surprising. My legs were really hurting yesterday from the pound class on Saturday then going to Zumba yesterday. It was a little tough yesterday afternoon. My Arbonne girl text me today to tell me my package of goodies to start my weight loss challenge should arrive next Tuesday. I'm going to hope it works or at least gives me a little jumpstart, especially helps with my ibs. I'm excited. Hopefully all the drinks taste good. I think I have to give up some of my treats I save for every now and then. And I think no beer. Lol.
