Just some thoughts I need to write down and get off my mind.
Pondering my gain this week and the "why" behind my good feeling of being where I am vs. angry at any gain and spiraling to the cookie jar because... "already gained so why not"
Started Oct 1 tracking.. no diet no exercise.. just seeing what I was doing. highest weight 226 on 10/6. End of Oct 224.4. Started mind shift and food shift and exercise shift (when knee could handle it) Nov 1. Ended Nov 214.4. December = kids home from college and Holidays. Ended Dec at 207.6 after bouncing up and down based on food salt and beverages consumed... ending this week with a kiddo birthday and kiddos heading back to school. Next week will be my big jump back. I am okay with all of this and knowing how far I came in basically 2 months and didnt deny myself (even endulged) and can sit here down many inches and lbs be happy at the end of this and not upset or angry at myself is a great feeling.8 -

It’s been a really good first week. The Jenny Craig has been working out well in combination with exercise.
Today I pushed myself farther by taking a walk outside at 17 degrees. Brrr! But it works well if I wear enough layers. And what a great feeling
when I came in from the cold having done it.
Go Team!

@redhatsenior Great week! It's funny, when I lived in Maine I used to walk year round, even in sub-zero temperatures. Now I live in Maryland and if it falls below 30 I don't want to go outside.
Might have to force myself to go outside today though, to let the germs blow off if nothing else.2 -

@sandkp that is awesome! I’m so happy for you!!! One of my biggest goals this year is to not be so hard on myself and feel guilty for how much I eat or what I eat. And not be upset with myself for it. You are inspiring me! Keep going 😊

Analyzing your patterns without judgment is key to moving forward with confidence and success. For me, my 'challenge' is a balance between enjoying alcohol moderately or not consuming alcohol entirely, or overindulging. When I fall, weather it be not committing to my alcohol goals; language goals; (learning spanish)..... that's when the I should be...I didn't...I cant....I'm not worthy thoughts flood my conscience. This is also when I achieve personal growth by acknowledging those pesky thoughts and then letting them go away...they are no longer needed. When they are gone I have room to flood my space with positive energy. Then I grow a little bit. But heck it's a pull and push, or yin and yang, however you want to phrase it. With time and renewed application of this self evaluation we do make 'gain's. Here's a quote that seems to say it just right.
“The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.” – Paulo Coelho5 -

@Krysless2 I like the way you present your data. It's cool with the colors and all. What does the MUAC represent?1 -
