Tonight I am enjoying a white tea called “bai hao yin zhen” it is a white tea that is made from hand picked buds. It’s delicate, fresh and has no extra added flavours or ingredients.
I chose it when I had earned a free tea - I like to pick the most expensive ones, so this one was, I believe, 23.99 for 50g. I would never have bought it at that price but the free tea was up to 24.99 so of course I am trying the best lol
it’s actually delightful.
Also, I’m finished eating for the day. I finished supper and I won’t eat any more. I did well last night, too. I just need to get a few good days under my belt then I’ll be on a roll. So here we go!
Way to go on not eating after dinner!!!1 -

I was folding laundry and I came to a realization. The only times I sat down this weekend were when I was eating. I have spent hours upon hours in the kitchen, washing at least 15 loads of laundry, vacuuming etc. My feet hurt, my hip hurts, my ankle is still swollen and throbbing. But the only times I sat down were for meals or snacks.
I have conditioned myself to believe I am not allowed to sit down or rest other than when I’m eating. I have also associated food with the feelings I get when I finally sit down. The only time my feet get a rest is when I eat. When I eat my legs get a rest. When I eat, I don’t have to wash or fold or cut or anything else.
So ... what to do with this realization. I am going to make a commitment to deliberately set aside times to relax with no food. At the moment I am sitting and doing some sewing. I’m going to drink my tea and try to feel my body relax without any food in my mouth.
I hope I can manage to work with this new perspective.
Wow!!! Really great insight. Thanks for sharing this!3 -
SALLY AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING BEHINDS THE SCENES TO MAKE THIS TEAM THE BEST.... SHE HAS COME UP WITH SOME OUTSTANDING IDEAS FOR CHALLENGES IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS.
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO ADD ANOTHER LAYER TO THIS TEAM.....
THE MODERATORS HAD ADDED A POSITION TO ALL OF THE TEAMS FOR THE UPCOMING MONTH AND THE NEW YEAR. WE ARE ADDING A FITNESS CAPTAIN.... @Beka3695 AKA BECKY MOD AND CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM SHRINKING ASSETS AND ONE HER TEAMMATES CAME UP WITH THE IDEA AND WILL BE TAKING THE LEAD ON IT FOR THE CAPTAINS
I WILL BE TAKING A STEP BACK FROM POSTING DAILY WEIGH INS AND TURN MY FOCUS TO FITNESS AND NUTRITION. HENCE FOR TEAM WOW'S I WILL BE THE FITNESS AND NUTRITION CAPTAIN.... NOW ALL TEAMS PROBABLY WON'T ROLL WITH THIS WHICH WILL BE A SHAME FOR THAT TEAM BUT, THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
I HAVE ADDED FOR OUR TEAM THE NUTRITION ASPECT AS FITNESS AND NUTRITION GO HAND IN HAND. I DID TAKE SEVERAL QUARTERS OF NUTRITION IN CULINARY ARTS SCHOOL, AS CHEFS WE NEEDED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT WE ARE PREPARING FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. AS THE CLIMATE HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS SINCE I GRADUATED I HAVE KEPT UPPED WITH IT FOR HEALTH REASONS FOR ME.
AS THE OWNER OF THE GROUP THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW ME TO VISIT WITH OTHER TEAMS IN THE GROUP AND HELP MOTIVATE THEM. I FIND IT VERY DISCOURAGING WHEN THE TEAM CAPTAINS PUT ALL OF THIS WORK INTO MAKING A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR THE GROUP AS A WHOLE AND THEN NO ONE PARTICIPATES IN IT. WE AS MODERATORS ARE GOING TO TRY TO FIX THAT SCENARIO BEGINNING IN THE NEW YEAR.
NOW THAT BEING SAID WE ARE ADDING ANOTHER CO-CAPTAIN TO HELP SALLY WITH THE WEIGH INS AND MOTIVATION...NOT THAT I AM GOING TO COMPLETELY STOP, BUT WE THOUGHT IT BETTER TO GO THIS WAY SO I DON'T FEEL OVER WHELMED. SALLY WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR NEW CO-CAPTAIN ON THE SPREAD SHEETS POSTING AS WELL AS THE TEAM AND GROUP CHALLENGES. ONCE SALLY IS RTG WITH THE NEW CO-CAPTAIN WE WILL ANNOUNCE IT OR RATHER SHE WILL.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO DECEMBER AS WE WILL ROLLING OUT A ANOTHER NEW FOR YOU WARRIORS TO HAVE AT YOUR FINGER TIPS. WE WILL KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE AS THESE IDEAS START TO GEL AND WE GET READY TO ROLL THEM OUT.
LET'S ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEK ...WHAT YA SAY ...

1. Stay under my calorie goal (currently 1770) ✔1712
2. Get 5,000 steps a day✔ 7994
3. No eating out ✔ I’m counting this one as completed. I ate all my meals in, but the husband and I walked to the burger/ice cream place again and got some ice cream because someone had eaten part of what I planned for dinner, but I didn’t notice until I went to eat.
4. Exercise for at least 20 minutes a day. ✔ 25 minute walk,
5. No caffeine after 1pm (my dr's suggestion for sleep issues) ✔

Good Monday Morning! I was successful with my no late night snacking had to go to bed but hey I woke up with a pound lost over the weekend!! that is a first !!
part of weekend consistency is logging I knew that just didn't want to do it but you guys have turned a light switch on me I have my moments where I melt down and crumble about all the tragedy around me in my personal life and in the world and I try and Shake It Off and press on
it's hard to explain I hate to keep saying it God sent you all to me and I'm going to try to do a better job of giving back because I'm overwhelmed with the support
if there's something I can do, please let me know!
wish I could have a small training on how to get this phone to work but I'm here for you all!5 -

My feet did hurt a couple of the days! We had such a short time in Rome and it's such a great city to explore on foot so we did lots of walking!

✅1. 7,500 STEPS or more daily. 8455
✅2. Eat fewer calories than my daily goal with at least 5 servings of fruit/veg daily
✅3. Create (not imagine or read about), but actually create art each day.
✅4. Use UltraVolt on muscles 5 mins daily & arm/back stretches another 5 mins daily.
(+ ankle & PT bands) Total 14 mins
✅5. Immediately catch self if thinking negative body thought & say something very Positive about my body & something about how grateful I am to be thin & healthy.
Had to do this several times. It helped each time!
This may be the most important thing I’m doing right now! I’m thin. I need to help my brain realize it more often.
Just realized: I might need to go buy an article of clothing. I haven’t purchased much at all. (I still hate clothes shopping- so many horrible experiences when I was 73lbs heavier...) Time to re-write that story! 💙5 -
