    I hope you all had a wonderful start to October.

    I had a couple good realizations. When setting my goal for the month I thought 6 pounds seemed like such a small goal. But it’s what I lost in September, and if I could manage that consistently, it would mean major losses over 6 months. It feels attainable and it feels hopeful.

    I also love the advice to pause before indulging.

    I’m also getting back into my tea stash. I have dozens of varieties of loose leaf tea in all different flavours. It’s actually great for staving off cravings in the evening. Tonight I made a matcha with beet root. I even have some soup teas. 15 calories per cup. High in sodium but when my alternate is crackers or chips, it’s a great way to go.

    Will report some steps later tonight :)

    Daily Team Challenge: I will pose a treat, tip, question and/or comment everyday and would love for our team to add their thoughts.

    Oct 2 HELLO October! 🍁🍃🍂🍁🍃🍂

    So mind over matter isn’t working?!! What do I do now?

    Let’s Go Back in time....

    Cut back on calories by learning to snack like a preschooler, says Goodson. "Many people get in trouble with snacking because they eat too much. So trick your mind into eating less by portioning your snacks in small baggies. This helps you feel as if you're eating 'all' of something, which satisfies your brain." Ideally, break out portion sizes of chips, snacks, and other goodies as soon as you bring them home from the store so you're not tempted to dip your hand in the entire 10-serving container. To further avoid temptation, keep the portioned snacks out of sight hidden in a cupboard.

    How can we help trick our mind? Let’s share friends!

    LAST 90 DAYS

    The moderators have put together an extended challenge for the last 90 days of the year. Being the last 90 can be difficult, with EVERYTHING that is going on - these 5 steps are designed to keep you centered during the chaos.

    Check out the new EP Moderators' Challenge. Five little things you do EVERY DAY for the last 90 days of the year. You can adapt the list for yourself, but they should be five attainable things that if you do them every day for the rest of the year, you will hit the New Year as a new you already.

    The weather the last couple days has made getting my steps in difficult but I walked around the house a few times last night to make sure I got up to 15,000! Chilly today but no rain so I'll get the dogs out at least.

    The last 90

    Make time for yourself:

    This one is easy for me. My husband has to be up at 3am for work, so he’s in bed before 8pm. Everyone else in the house goes to their rooms for the evening and I get the living room all to myself for up to two hours a night.

    Exercise 30 minutes a day

    Once my exercise bike is here my goal is 30 minutes a day of riding.

    Hydrate

    All good. I have a huge insulated cup that I fill at least four times a day.

    Give up a trigger food

    I don’t keep trigger foods in the house, so I’m good there. My trigger is laziness and the I don’t want that, which leads to ordering food in rather than cooking. I’ve been trying to beat this one for awhile. My plan is to prepare a few meals that can be frozen and easily reheated for when this happens.

    Write down something you’re thankful for

    I’m thankful for three great kids and husband who have been extremely helpful this week while I’ve been sick.
