@Shirin_K and @lenka1 thank you for the kind words of encouragement. @lenka1 have a wonderful trip to Europe and enjoy your time with your family.
Daily check in: Thursday
Food: didn't log
water: plenty
exercise: First time in awhile I was able to carve out time for a couple quick walks that totaled 30 mins and pleased to be well over 10,000 steps for the day. Spent some time outside taking photographs with a real, actual camera. LOL
Upon reflection I probably should have taken a break in February with so much going on but I'm ready to get back on track for March because as @lenka1 said "summer bodies are made in winter". Summer and the big 50 will be here before I know it. Yikes!!
Happy Friday everyone!!

February in review (tried to post yesterday and the internet was not agreeable):
- Lost 3.2 pounds
- Went on a 2 week diet break and learned much to be applied to current and future journey
- Maintained my weight the week I was in Universal Studios on vacation; didn't feel deprived and ate treats several times throughout (6 kinds of butter beer for a start!) in small amounts while still feeling very satisfied
- Bought two new work pants and both were size 12; had bought a size 12 last month but figured a fluke with the way women's sizes are so inconsistent. All the 14's I tried on this month were loose. Size 12 it is.
- Did 7 strength training session at the Curves
- Attended 6 yoga classes and did two videos at home
- Used my yoga breathing during stressful times
- Saw my BMI come out of the obese range!!
- Reached another milestone --> Down 20% from my starting weight 6 months ago
- Growing more settled in my new routines and way of life; not a struggle and living with ease
Goals for March:
More of the same. Lose 3-4 more pounds. Check in (if not post) to this group daily. Settle deeper in the healthy routines. No major changes during this time of work and family stress, but hoping for a few goal in April. Happy first day of March team!5 -
Great month in review!! Congratulations @phoebe112476!! Enjoyed reading your previous post about your routine. You’re crushing it!!1

Sorry team that I have been MIA! It was 10 days of that horrible head cold plus a really busy time at work. I kept up with physio & logging/cico. Ate more carbs though on my sick bed & digestion was completely messed up from all of the cold medication. So I think this all factored into the gain this week, Whatever, it is a new month & I am finally feeling better. The best news is that I am having sustained pain free days & physio has moved to every 2 weeks! I still have to keep at it, but I am finally healing!! Not sure that I can get through all of the posts that I missed, but hope that everyone is doing well!3 -
@eyesopennow Was hoping it would at least be more exciting for you. Safe travels!
@pacsnc6 Nice loss! I guess I am getting over my snow blues. It will be nice when spring is here.
@carlsoda Good luck! I like how you are starting on a Friday instead of putting it off for the weekend. You are going to do great!
@lennoncpa Nice loss! Love seeing all your working out posts. You are so consistent!
@nstephenson01 I am so happy you decided to stay on. I would miss you if you took a break. I am really enjoying all your pics. With all that snow you wonder how the wild animals survive. I didn't even think of that until you posted those beautiful deer.
@FieryVixsin Nice loss!
@phoebe112476 What a great month you had! You forgot you also survived the car ride with sick kiddos! Sounds like you are already in a good routine. Was it hard for you at first? You really are doing great and I love hearing about your progress!
@Cafelelia I am glad you are back! I am also happy to hear that you are starting to string together some pain free days! That is great news!3 -

Ok, I am ready to kick some butt in March! Today I downloaded & printed a 30-Day Workout plan - i realized i stuck to my January plan so well because i knew in advance what was coming up - may as well try that method again. February got the best of me, but my motivation is back and I’m excited for March!

had a binge urge again yesterday. started at work when i was bored out of my mind. i had already done tons of steps, i had listened to podcasts, i had watched some dr phil. i was saying you can have some candy, when you get home you can have some girl scout cookies, then we could stop at mcdonalds on the way home. errrrrkkkkkk but on the brakes girl. i realized what was happening. i did the self talk i had rehearsed for this occasion. i felt better for a minute, self talk, minute, this went on and on, got home with an hour before i was going to leave and meet jim at the cpa's to get our taxes done. i sat on the couch and kicked my feet up and rested my eyes. it felt so good to relax. finally the binge went away. went and got my taxes done and then jim and i went out to dinner. i ordered grilled chicken with artichoke hearts, onions and mushrooms and a side salad. i ate till i was satisfied and then moved my plate away. just like at home.

Things i will give up in march:
Telling myself I am fat.
Telling myself it is ok to over eat.
Telling myself it is just this once.
Telling myself I'm not good enough.
Telling myself I just can't do this.
These are things that i say to myself that I will no longer tolerate in March. If i am going to give up something, this is what it is.
What I will start doing in march:
Telling myself I am beautiful.
Telling myself it is ok to eat the food on my 24 hour plan.
Telling myself joy food is ok if i plan for it.
Telling myself I am a rock star.
Telling myself this is the last time i am going to lose this weight.
What will you give up in march? What self talk will you just not tolerate any long!!6 -
Ok, I am just responding here quick and then I am over to the March thread!
@twyla77 I am with you! Let's let March be our best month yet! You did do great with that 30 day plan in January so this is a great idea. You are beautiful btw!
@DananaNanas Nice loss! Hope all is going well!
@Cyndiesstuff I love how you fought ED off! You did an awesome job and best of all, no regrets today!
@bbcbw I am glad you will be joining the cheer squad! You may need to come back to refocus after your trip! You know where to find us! Safe travels and enjoy!2 -
@cyndiesstuff love your new self talk. I learned these strategies a long time ago. There were times when that voice would say something unpleasant and I introduced an advocate voice that would gently but firmly say “leave her alone. She is doing the best job that she can”. Then she would say to me “I’m really proud of you. Your doing great! You can do this. Breathe “. It has worked for me. I even taught Molly to say this to me. So she says. “You got this babe, your doing great. You can do it!” I’m surrounded by love and support!1

Ugh I gained a little of what I lost last week. But I will keep trying and I will see a loss next weigh in1 -
I had 1 pair of size 10 pants left. Bye bye. Back to thrift store for another pair of black 8’s. And my bras are too big again. I researched how to size. Viewed many sites. According to these sites I would be a size 38DD. Oh that is still so big. I was a 40D. So off to bra shopping too. I am interested to see what size I wear but it’s a starting point. This should be my last bra purchase till I’m at goal.
Last night was dinner at the foodies. I did share ahead of time that I’m beegan. So Grayson did his magic. I didn’t bother sharing my long list of no no’s. I drank wine and ate sugar. I had 3 dinky sips of wine. Didn’t really want it. He made cauliflower soup followed by edamame pasta with his homemade tomato sauce. I ate a lot of pasta. It seemed like a lot. Dessert was a berry fruit crisp. I asked for a sm piece and ate 2 bites. The sugar was too much for me. I think he was offended that I didn’t eat it. I just said I was full from pasta. And this morning the scale moved down to lowest in ages.
I too am ready for March!2 -
