Increase daily steps to 8000

Looking forward: You are not stuck at home.
You are SAFE at home. One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

March focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

Aims:

2021 Focus:

• Maintain weight < 150
• Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
• Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
• Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

• 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
• 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
• 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
• That's a WIN in my book!
  
• 2021
• Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
  
• (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
