    WE SURE CAN!!! AND WE WILL!!! :flowerforyou:

    I've been adding some fruit to my diet. I eat a lot of veggies but not so much fruit. I've been trying to eat an apple a day. I usually eat it on the way to pick my daughter up from school.

    I'm so happy we are all on the same page & re-committing!

    1stPaul -- I was wondering how many inches of snow y'all got with the storm last week? My daughter always tells me... "I don't know." All I could find was the prediction on-line but not what ended up having, there. I am always curious about what she is now living in after being born & raised in Texas. She used to keep her Winter Coat on in the house, here. Ha!
    BTW, I've never been sledding, but it sure does sound fun (but cold)!

    Goldk -- I'm looking forward to the Spring thread. So far, so good this week!!!!! It's been a long time since I've truly stayed under 1200 calories for a week. I'm almost at the end of the week. Consistency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals?Yes!
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes!
    What did I do today that I am proud of? l stayed under. This was really hard considering that I had such a rough day! New job, locked keys in my car along with my lunch, had forgotten cell phone at home on charger so had to borrow other phones to call & leave message with my husband, secure environment so no way for him to reach me, etc.
    What would I have done differently? Nothing!
    What is tomorrow's personal goals?stay low in calories & exercise.

    Hi gals! You guys kept me motivated through the weekend and I was down 3 pounds this morning! :drinker: Which was especially gratifying after a weekend with relatives (fun, but also stress!) and lots of food temptations! I repeated my mantra to myself a few times - 'stay strong,stay strong' - thanks Goldk!
    Elbee1 - where does your daughter live in Minnesota, is she in St. Paul? We got about 8 inches last Tuesday at our house, but I know other people got closer to 10. I inherited the old family farmhouse that my grandparents lived in, and that is near LaCrosse, WI. That's where we went sledding over the weekend. We had a famly get-together there with my parents, brothers, cousins and kids. There was a little less snow there, and unfortunately it was rainy and cold all day Saturday ... but luckily it was just light rain and that didn't stop the kids from sledding. But I didn't sled, climbing up the icy hill just didn't seem like a good idea when I am still getting over a back injury. But it was fun to watch the kids.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? a little over on calories but great on carbs - so I am; going to say YES
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? YES
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? really tried to stay low carb ... it wasn't easy with banana breads, coffee cake, cookies, etc. around the farmhouse
    What would I have done differently? gotten a walk in before we left the farm
    What is today's personal goals? eat in balance every meal/snack , go to step tonight
