Round 141

Please join us! Starting on 02/11 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 141
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

    I'm in! Thanks @GrandmaJackie!

    I'm preparing to tackle a "No Buy Year" and have decided to start food shopping months in advance, so will most likely have to incorporate a higher carb content (as I eat a mostly vegan diet and have limited freezer real estate), it might be a bit rocky to start with weightwise but I have faith that I can adjust eventually!

    02/01 - I love my body She may not be perfect, and I may not always love her as I should, but she never gives up. The bloating I'm dealing with is her trying to keep us alive despite me not taking the best care of us. She does what she needs to do to make sure we stay as alive and healthy as possible. She works hard and though she may not be as strong as she once was and has some titanium upgrades, she still helps me walk, run, play, and work. And shoutout to my body for her dedication to us: ruck marching 12 miles on torn ligaments and tendons in my ankle with 30lbs, learning to walk and exceeding the necessary requirements for release after my back surgery (when there was a chance I'd lose use of my left leg and potentially both legs), suffering through a torn intestine (first time we ever fasted 3 days!), and just plain surviving what I (and life) throws at her for both of us. Body, you're a complete bada**. I absolutely do not love and appreciate you enough, but I'm so glad you love me unconditionally.
    02/02 - I love this group This group is an escape. A getaway. A place I can go when life gets a little heavy or when I have something amazing nobody else would truly understand or appreciate. I never thought I'd ever open up enough online (its a scary place) to call anyone a friend, but I consider all of you my friends. My little 10-day family on repeat. Not only are we all on a journey to health, but we are on a journey to get the most out of life and its beyond inspiring. Without this group, I know I wouldn't be making the progress I am. Reading all your successes keeps me going, knowing it IS possible. Without everyone here posting about their struggles, I wouldn't understand my own and how to overcome them. I look forward to coming here every day, not always to post about me, but to read how everyone is doing. I'm invested in your journey. I worry about you when things get tough and wait impatiently for the next day's post to see if you're okay. I'm truly excited for you when things go wonderful. Especially during COVID when it's hard to get together, I'm not missing out on this group. We come together regardless and it brings so much normalcy back when normal isn't possible elsewhere in my life. I appreciate all of you so much <3
    02/03 - I love my family I'm talking about my blood family AND my chosen family. They're all there for me, all the time. My blood family is small but we are close. We share struggles (yes, my parents share their struggles. Completely transparent) and good times. They've led me to things I didn't particularly want but have set me up in life now (a begudging thanks). My chosen family...well, I chose them because they feel like family. We have zero ties other than our love for one another and that is something absolutely amazing to me. They are the reason I finally got to move to Texas after years of wanting and waiting. I love that I have so many people that look through my anxiety and bad days to love me regardless, blood or not. I hope they all know how much I truly love them in return
    02/04 - I love my garden Just yesterday, I noticed 7 little sprouts from my habanero seeds. My starters have turned into a giant bush of baby tomatoes and baby Anaheim chilis. My little jalapenos I planted last year are somehow still hanging on outside and trying to produce fruit, despite it being much colder than the plant prefers. I love that my first year attempting to start from seeds has, thus far, been successful. I love that I'm getting amazing practice in for when we can finally own a home. I hope to build a greenhouse and expand my garden to feed us all kinds of fresh fruits and veggies. I love the practice of being in nature and working with Mother Earth to provide, it brings me back to my days working on our old family farm. Mom had a garden once I was in college and they moved - I love that I got the green thumb from her and we can bond more over our hard work. I love that my dad supports me because he wants me to be independent and this is a great way to feed myself. I love that my BF, though he's not the biggest fan of gardens, allows me to have a small one (and has actually helped by building me a raised bed! He's sweet) knowing I'm doing it to keep me happy and to supplement our food (it does help he loves spicy food and I'm growing tomatoes and all the peppers! Hot salsa and hot sauce from the garden, anyone?! Had to win him over somehow!) Last thing: I love that gardening gives me a purpose
    02/05 - I love my pups - I have 2 but MY baby is with my parents. Rebel is my little babygirl. Love her to death and miss her like absolute crazy every single day. Thankfully mom and dad send pictures, let me talk to her on the phone, and spoil her for me when I pester them about it. Then there's the dog I live with, Harley. She's a pain, but she's also a total love bug. I'll have a picture in a separate post. If I need some love and snuggles, she's RIGHT THERE. I joke with BF she's my dog during the day and his at night when she snuggles with him in bed (before he stops petting her and she uses my feet as a pillow). Poor baby goes to get spayed the Monday before I get lasers shot into my eye. We will surely be comforting each other that week.
    02/06 - I love my jeep My jeep, Jarvis, was my original boyfriend. He was the standard. He's my second one, but bought brand new and he will be paid off in 2-3 months!! MINE ALL MINE (: He was an early graduation gift from my parents after they sold my car and old jeep (that's still a rough patch between us). He traveled with me from New York, Indiana, Chicago, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and now Texas. He has helped me move my entire life twice -- not bad for a 2 door! First time stuffed full with a trunk on a carrier off the hitch (yep, microwave, bed, clothes, army gear, fully stocked kitchen, and all in that little bitty thing. Tetris is my favorite). Second time I had a real mattress (not air) and a couch so he towed a trailer while still being stuffed full for me to move out of state yet again. He's even moved BF's bike to Texas! If I wasn't a Jeep girl with my first one, Jarvis certainly sealed the deal <3
    02/07 - I love football I love the game, whether it be high school, college, indoor arena, or NFL. Any opportunity I get to watch, I'm very happy. Especially any opportunity to watch live, in person! I'm dedicated to the game, so much so that I'm not even particularly unhappy about not having a true SuperBowl party - I'm just content there's a game to watch at all! To close, I'll add GO CHIEFS!!! (hey, I lived in Kansas for 4 years and Mahomes is from my new home, Texas).
    02/08 - I love sleep And right now I miss it. Sleep is restorative, not just for energy, but for healing and basic body processes. It's important, vital to life. Plus, it helps me fast by allowing hours without food to pass without me noticing!
    02/09 - I love cooking I never used to like cooking all that much, but lately I've been appreciating it more. I can experiment, try new things, its cheaper, and I know what's in it! I've always loved baking, but nobody around here really eats sweets, so I'm replacing that with cooking. Even trying something really new to me - chinese food tonight! I'm pretty excited to try it
    02/10 - I love my mental progress 2 years ago, this sudden gain would've destroyed me. I would've felt like I was failing, despite looking better than I ever have, even in the army and "in shape". I would've gone to extremes. I would have hated my body for a number on the scale despite my measurements. Now I understand so much goes into my weight, but the goal isn't a specific number on the scale, its health. It's how I look, and even more important, how I feel. I feel healthier. I look healthier. I think I've made significant progress on any visceral (dangerous) fat I may have had from all those years of crash dieting and horrid foods offset by the army's forced physical activity. My skin is clearer. My bloat is almost nonexistent, at least these last 2 days which is huuuge. Even better is this inspires me to keep aiming for healthier because I'm not quite there yet (60-40%, aiming to be healthy 75-80% of the time). Despite what the scale says these last few days, I know I'm doing what's right and good for my body more often than not and way more often than ever before. It will work itself off in the end so long as I keep going and focus on health.

    Going to try to avoid pitfalls. (pitfall is an interesting word that I use without even thinking what it literally means.) How do I avoid pitfalls? By keeping my eyes open.

    I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

    Really trying to pack a lunch most work days when I don't have a business lunch. And, I want to limit myself to 2 cups of coffee per day. One aeropress (so good) at home and one K-cup at work.

    I have decided to start food shopping months in advance, so will most likely have to incorporate a higher carb content (as I eat a mostly vegan diet and have limited freezer real estate), it might be a bit rocky to start with weightwise but I have faith that I can adjust eventually!
