Dinner - 748 calories. Salmon, asparagus, baked potato with sour cream, cantaloupe and raspberries, half roll.
I did 33 minutes cardio on my stationary bike. Haven’t hit my step goal yet today. Water is good.
@Andreabroadley I tried the Chia pudding with frozen strawberries. It was good and VERY filling. Had it in the afternoon. Held me until dinner.
@cory17 The bread at breakfast is Trader Joe’s Sourdough.5 -
Hey friends!! Here are my responses to the groundhog challenge. Even if you aren’t participating, these two felt important and wanted to share. Feel free to answer the questions here if you like.

Day 12 - February 13. How have your habits changed or evolved over time?

Wow! So much has changed since starting with F2F. I move more all the time. I am purposely inefficient. Learned about those NEAT calories and take full advantage. I make myself exercise regularly as I strive to make it a habit. I have learned so many things about healthy foods and have tried lots of new foods and recipes. I log the bad days as well as the good days. I’m not kidding anyone if I don’t. Most importantly, I’m not giving up. This is my new way of life.2 -
Thursday already! OK. @micki48 Steps 3,200
@jugar 186.7 (when will you be back?)
I can tell my stress levels combined with heavy protein and lower fibre has added to my bloat this week! It seems that my go to word to remind myself of my commitment is "Focus". Of course, I use this word to complete regular tasks doing desk or school work regularly. I'm working towards adding other strategies to manage ADHD without the meds I've used for the last 6 years. The jury is still out on that idea.
My habits are still a bit covered up and jumbled since joining the F2F family. I'll think about it and add some more in the next couple of days.
I will be exercising more tomorrow since it's a day for teaching a class as well as scrubbing some of the pool stairs, etc.
It's supposed to be wicked cold tomorrow with negative wind chills. However, my lunch is all planned and my brekky will be simple and not too heavy so I can actually get my weight moving back down in the right direction this weekend!
Have a lovely night.
Back on the horse (and eating off the dark blue small salad plate instead of any of those bright colored dinner plates which "fire up" the appetite!)...ride on, sweeties.5 -

Well I am very happy to report that the test is negative, according to the report I just saw yesterday afternoon. Still seeing a cardiologist in a couple of weeks but I will assume the radiologist who did the final read got it right.
Yay! Thanks everyone for your support! 8 -
Way to go @micki48 those changes are fab!1

Tuesday I was 159.3 and thought I would have made more progress by Friday but didn’t happen. I did workout every day this week. But I do have to say though that my Tuesday and Wednesday workouts were kind of lackluster. My scrub pants are fitting better though. I am back in my mediums and put the large back on the top shelf of the closet. Still frustrating not seeing the scale go down.5 -
I have to tell you guys since doing the pilates on a regular basis for 2 weeks, I was putting on my shoes this morning sitting on a bench cause the dogs were on the couch, so I was telling the dogs how they are spoiled, well I noticed when I was slouched my mid section hurt, but when I sat with proper posture, it did not... I am going to count this as a good thing... a very good thing, because I have the worst posture...6

Happy Friday!
My last day here in Alberta
-- we'll be out playing with the horses, then going over to a friend of my daughter's for dinner and feeding a couple of really young calves(!). It has been a great week, but it has gone by way too fast. There's a lot of new snow back home, though, so I'll get plenty of snowshoe time to compensate for too much couch time here!
There have been some seriously impressive weigh-ins! WTG everyone - the energy of the spring is starting to bubble up!
See if we can get everyone caught up by the end of the day:

I'll go back through to make sure I didn't miss anyone - thanks!4 -
We're going to the gym for Valentine's Day lol. Hoping this means it's extra empty, I love an empty gym.
I have 5 days off work after today, just gotta hang in there for 4 more hours. I sucked it up and booked a massage for next week too. I hate being touched by strangers but I rolled over in bed this morning and heard/felt something crunch nastily in my back so it's time. I'm not in pain at least. Just stiff.
Next weigh in is probably gonna be bad, what with all these birthday plans this weekend. My SIL's birthday is the day before mine so there's a lot happening. =P4 -

Hi. Weigh in: 105.2
Have to say pleased with that, as with my Hypothyriodism, I haven’t had a BM for 2 days. I’m sure the number could be a good 1/2 # lower if I could poop. Been nailing it all week since Jugar told me to eat more veggies. Feel so satisfied and accomplished

Amazing loss @Pearl4686 So sorry you had to suffer through a stomach bug. Hope you feel better with every day.Andreabroadley wrote: »Well I am very happy to report that the test is negative, according to the report I just saw yesterday afternoon.

@Andreabroadley So glad to hear that your test was negative. Hopefully the cardiologist will give you a clean bill of health when you visit.

Oh dear! Most likely water weight but will be more careful this next week.
Hope everyone is having a great Valentine's day. Made a nice steak dinner tonight since I do not want to be crammed into a restaurant with a million people. Tomorrow is date night and massages. Sunday we have 2 birthday parties to take kids to...ugh. Monday we are all off but no plans yet. Spent 3 hours cleaning house and cleaning up messes from the puppy. He was on a roll today! Glad it's evening and the kids are in bed! Have a great night!5 -

I’ve been working on catching the negatives this week in what I say to myself. That has really surprised me and also put me in a better mood. I’m working to be more thankful for my body in every way!6 -

That helps so much, doesn’t it? I’ve been including the phrase, “I used to...” or, “The story I told myself...”
It definitely contributes to my serenity.

@jugar safe trip home - your niece, family, and sister can’t wait to see you!
@Terytha as a massage therapist myself may I offer you the reassurance that any hesitation you experience about receiving a massage has been dealt with by your therapist a lot. Share your qualms. We’re there to help your muscles and Myofascia release old emotions so you can be freed from those stuck places. “Once shared, the burden is halved”. In my experience, it’s removed entirely! Good luck!
