@carlsoda yay! day 6. and omg a 2 month old baby falling asleep in your arms. I bet your madly in love!! and you should definitely take a before pic!!
@kirsten11872 wooo who day 4 for you! building momentum.
@GingerPwr nice loss. you are doing awesome. fantastic way to start the month. and good job on being mindful when you eat.
@gottagetthisdown you can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect a different result. try something different. show up for you. I believe in you, you can do this, but it is going to take work and commitment on your part. change is hard but your tough. you will figure this out.

@cyndiesstuff my positive self talk for the day is:
Im proud of how hard I’ve worked over the last year to get rid of unhealthy habits, and know I can work a bit harder on the ones I’m still stuck on.
I have a creative mind and I’m an asset to my team at work.

Had a great 55 minute workout today (split between treadmill and elliptical). Food/calories were a little under today, which is fine since I work off of my weekly average. Tomorrow will be my first official weigh in for the team!4

Daily check in for Tuesday
Food - logged & on target (no chips)
Water - 800 ml
Exercise - physio and 7199 steps
Had a very intense physio appointment today with some acupuncture added. The treatments and exercises continue to get more intense as I heal. It always feels so much better the day after, but I am very sore today.
Here is my positive self talk: Physically and mentally, in work and in life, I am pushing myself out of my comfort zone. It gets uncomfortable and sometimes stressful, but this means I am moving forward and not staying stagnant.
@cyndiesstuff - Thanks for your advice about my chips incident. This is an ancient bad habit that dates back to when I was a (skinny) teen. I thought I had kicked it, but not yet apparently. You are right that stress is going to happen and believe me, I am still feeling it. Pre-injury, I would have gone for a run. So yesterday, I had an afternoon green tea in my lovely Japanese tea set and that is going to be my new habit.
@sleepymom5 - I am very sorry about your daughter and I hope that she is feeling better. So good that you were able to look after her and support her. You are a great mom!
@eyesopennow - I really like the stuff that you are giving up for Lent, especially impatience! I have decided to do a daily five minute meditation this year and had a really nice first meditation today. In terms of giving something up, I guess it is chips!2 -
@sleepymom5 how terrifying Pam! My heart goes out to you and your family. Hope you find some answers.
@cyndiesstuff your support and encouragement are so appreciated! You put so much energy into being team captain. You do a great job! Thank you!
@GingerPwr I kept checking my phone to see if you had posted yet. Great job! I’m looking forward to moving down to the 140’s with you!
@Cafelelia I’m glad your treatments are so beneficial.
Ok sorry that’s all I can muster up. I’m pooped.
I really enjoyed all the bra size dialogue. Nice to know I’m not alone.
I got my rewards for the last 3 pounds. Will post pics later.

@cyndiesstuff i have some positive self talk for today!
I’m proud of how hard i’ve worked to break some bad habits over the last year (for years i used to stop for a morning latte or hot chocolate and a bakery item on my way to work every morning, now i make a tea or a coffee when i get to the office and skip the bakery treats all together!)
and
I have a creative mind and i’m an asset to my team at work. My different way of thinking often opens up new ways of doing things!5 -
@eyesopennow I should work on my paitence too. I am not sure where to start.
@sleepymom5 I hope that your daughter is ok.
@cyndiesstuff I think I am starting to practive more positive self talk. Instead of saying to myself you are rubbish and am now saying to myself. This isn't working what do I need to change.
Gotta go and do some work. More later.3 -

That sleepiness at work is really tough. In response to the tiredness, my body sends urges to eat for energy. Then my go to thought process is, it is time to eat. what can i eat. i want to eat. oh that sounds good. i sat with it yesterday. i felt the urge get stronger when i ignored it. i acknowledged it many times and changed my focus. only to have my mind go right back to that old familiar path. it's like when you are first learning to meditate. it is refocusing the mind on something else. it is taming the primal urges that tell your brain there is a squirrel over there lets think about that and then it says to think about something else. i did sit with it yesterday, it was very hard. but i did it and i didn't die or get pregnant! one day soon this habit will be broken and i will not quit on myself any more. as for being up a pound. not worried about it. losing weight is not linear. i am ovulating and hormonal. i have a dental cleaning this morning at 7:30, so i have to get moving but i dont want to. lol. squirrel!!
positive self talk:
I am learning to sit with my urges.
I am a success and I am strong.
@twyla77 i love your self talk girl. and i concur with you. i am proud of all the hard work you have put into this. this is a journey that is not for the faint of heart. it takes a strong fierce woman, to continue to fight for what she believes in. and that is you.
@hkfleming good job on meeting your daily goals. make sure to give yourself big credit for all the things you are doing. credit worthy acts, no matter how small, need to be recognized!!
@Cafelelia love love your your self talk! ohhhh girl. you are learning new ways to deal with stress besides food. what a great redirection of your energy!
@Mrsbell8well i always love kudos from you! i love my team. i am so invested in everyones journey. and you are my motivation today, when faced with challenges today, i will ask myself, what would angelina do. sometimes when i have a hard time visualizing my new self i pick someone i look up to to model after. thanks for sharing your journey with me.
@amsandos ohhhh girl. that is a great positive self talk. i love the way you did that. because you are not rubbish, that is just a lie you have told yourself in the past! you smile today and stand tall and say out loud, i am a success. my tenacity is perfect for any situation.
ok. i have to run. but what is your positive self talk today? pick one lie you tell yourself and turn it into a positive statement and then let me know what it is.

Positive self talk...
I look in the mirror and say “damn, you look great!” I did this even when I weighed 200 pounds. And I always feel it and believe it.
Also...”breathe, your doing great!”
I use it daily for all situations.

Good morning,
I have to travel early tomorrow morning, which is my weigh in day. So to our lovely captains, I am giving you my numbers a day early! It is March break next week and my husband is taking the kids to his parents, so I am going on a girls getaway to Phoenix, the Grand Canyon and San Francisco! I have a travel scale, so will continue with my weigh in. The white wine will be flowing, but I will do my best to stay on track! Have a great week everyone!

Here are my before and after photos so far. This is the “midsection” edition. I am tracking the midsection because after 50, this is where I started to carry the weight. As I said before, I am petite, so 16 lbs gone is a lot on my frame. I am not great with photos and tech, but here it is:

Positive self talk ...
I can do this, I know I can
I have tried a few things lately that I had convinced myself long ago I couldn't do mostly because of balance issues. I have been working on the balance doing water aerobics and it has paid off. The instructor has told me several times my balance has improved 100% but it has taken me a while to believe it.
During Lent I am working on my response to negative talk from someone. I usually respond with anger and attack. I want to take a moment, take a deep breath, and respond in a normal tone.5 -
Good morning everyone!
Wednesday Check In:
Food - good day! Stayed Whole30 except for communion at church last night. Gosh my sip of wine was SOOOO good
Water - great day
Exercise - got in 12,000+ steps again. No yoga due to our long Ash Wednesday service, but I'm planning to do yoga tonight!
I have the Whole30 daily journal and yesterday was supposed to be a super hungry day and boy she was right. But I ate good healthy foods and I need to trust the process. I am healing my body.
I'm not very good at positive self talk, but I'm starting a program on Sunday through my work called Omada. Has anyone heard of it? I'm still trying to understand what it's all about, but it's about changing our thoughts and lifestyle for the long run as well as clean eating. Ultimate goal is reducing our risk of type 2 diabetes. We'll have a personal coach and a small group of like minded people. And 2 -3 hours per week of lessons and quizzes. I'm interested to see how this works out.6 -

My weight is up 0.4 pounds on the scale, but based on calories for the week, I should’ve lost a pound. I did eat over calories one day this week, but was under enough other days to balance it out. I’m pretty sure it’s due to having a cold and retaining water. Immediately after getting the cold, the scale jumped up a couple pounds and stuck there a few days and is now slowly returning to where I was. Hopefully next week will be better!
Positive self-talk: “I am worth the effort!”

daily check in Wednesday.
food on target
water on target
exercise 40 min run steps 13000
I was so tired yesterday I drifted off to sleep when I put my daughter to bed. My husband woke me up to go swim training but I had been tired and grumpy all day so I said to myself. Look I obviously need this sleep so as long as I go for a run in the morning I am not quitting on myself. so I want to bed at 9pm. Then I got up early for my run. It did unleash some demons in me. I got a bit upset becuase I am trying to do so much and failing. Instead of beating myself I have decided to rework my training schedule so that I go to bed earlier. I need to do less weights, swimming and cycling so I can prioritise my running and get to bed by 10 rather than 10:30. I am only going to get tireder as the miles build. I said to my husband that I feel guity because he and the LO are my no 1 priority yet if you look at my day I spend the least amount of waking hours spending time with them. So I am figuring out how to make this work at the moment OH doesn't get any time with me at all and that is just not on.

@Mrsbell8well nice self talk. you are wonder woman!
@Cafelelia wow amazing transformation. I am a shorty too! I've got you beat tho, I am only 5 foot. so your right, 16.6 lbs is a huge loss. you look amazing girl. you keep that up!!
@pacsnc6 love your self improvement strategy. and also your improved balance. wow. that is great. I love water aerobics. such great exercise and the water washes away your sweat!!
@carlsoda I have never heard of omada. but is sounds interesting and healthy for the mind and body. I hope it helps you. good job at sticking to the whole 30 too. that's a tough but very healthy program.
@Shirin_K that's nothing. it's probably just water weight. you just keep up with what your doing. and you are worth it for sure. great self talk.4
