Hi everyone, I am also posting for the first time. Almost 57 and down 22 lbs (18 on MFP) with 50 more to go. Nana to 5 grandchildren. Live in the beautiful NW but 4 of my grandchildren are in New Hampshire! Fly back often but need to fit into the plane seat better!
My goals for January are:
1. Log all my food daily
2. Lower carbs and increase omega 3
3. Exercise daily. Poor health so need to go slow but do something everyday!
I am enjoying readings the community posts. It has motivated me!0 -
Good morning and Happy New Year, ladies! I hope everyone had a fun time ringing out the old.
For today, I'm just posting an interesting article about a new book. It talks about something I harp on all the time - how carbs, and in particular sugar, affect our body and why it's the reason we overeat.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2255442/The-REAL-reason-eat-New-theory-revolutionise-way-lose-weight.html
Now I'm going to catch up on what everyone's been up to and be back to chat soon.

I am not a fan of new years resolutions (for myself) I am finding better results with monthly goals...for me this is changing 25+ years of bad habits...so that being said...January goals:
60 miles of movement...bike, row, walk
weight train or kettlebell at least once a week
2 veggies for dinner and cut out the mindless snacking after dinner
Keep a positive attitude with the new office...I don't remember who said bigger isn't necessarily better...but we are happily discovering that our little office did ok for our customers and I guess we are surprised that this Corp really seems to be behind the times...hopefully we can bring some new insights...we shall see how receptive management (never had that before either lol) is...sorry got off on a tangent!
Rebel - I look forward to the fruit/veggie challenge...I think it will really be a challenge for me but hopefully fun to do with others
I am not too good at responding individually, but I read and enjoy all the posts...welcome to all the newcomers and thank you barbie for continuing the thread...did you get the bike fixed...I hope so...if not yet, soon!
Hugs and high fives!

hello all
I lost my way somewhere between Thanksgiving and now and gained a lot. It's time to readjust my priorities and make time for me and take care of me. I am an emotional eater--I stuff emotions that are better left unsaid by not saying whatever, but stuffing it down by stuffing my face.
Goals:
1. be kind to myself by eating quality food.
2. exercise to reduce stress and shape up 5x a week
3. record what I eat in a notebook daily, and online at least 2x a week
4. weigh in weekly
5. write out what is bugging me instead of stuffing my face
hope everyone a blessed new year!0 -
I am struggling with how to respond as well, so I wish us both success in figuring it out!0

Hello everyone -
I trust your day is going well. It's been a pretty good day here. It's very cold, I've stayed indoors and have been busy reading information online and from a book I'm finding quite interesting. So if there are any Dr. Fuhrmanites out there, I've been reading about toxic hunger and true hunger. I get it---toxic hunger and cravings are very bad and we want to rid ourselves of them BUT true hunger I'm not understanding as well. He describes it as throat hunger. I think my entire life I've had the growling stomach, stomach crampy feeling, etc. and that's been hunger to me. If anyone out there has moved to true hunger can you clue me in a bit more?
I did some walking today, also a Leslie Sansone fast mile, and a bit of really slow jogging. Which leads me along to my action plan for 2013---I want to increase the intensity of my activity as often as I can. The first target is 2 days a week.
I already eat fruits and vegetables every day but I'd like to hear more about the challenge.
Wishing everyone success. There's enough to go around for everyone!!

Glad to see that there is a whole thread for 50+. Been on MFP for about 3 months. Have lost 10# with just diet alone. Pretty good for not being very motivated. My goal is to start an exercise program this year. I don't post much, but like to read others' posts for motivation.0

And now I’m catching up with everyone in the New Year. If I haven’t said it to you yet, Happy New Year to all my loser friends lol :laugh:!
DebA, congratulations on all the positive changes in your life. You are a great motivator to us as well. I hope you continue to come back and help the rest of us on our journey.
Lin, LOL :laugh:!
JanieL, welcome!
Jb, tamales – yum!
Mary8, welcome! You’ll find lots of help and support here.
Texasgal, Happy New Year to you as well!
NancyS, welcome. I hope we have lots of victories this year.
Jen, hope the game went your way. I have lots and lots of LA friends who were disappointed, but my neighbor and her daughter/alum are very, very happy today :drinker:.
Kathy2924, welcome and congratulations in advance to the new baby. I became a grandmother a little over a year ago, and she was one of the main reasons I started getting serious about becoming healthy.
Mshuggys – welcome!
Lila – we love sushi. It’s about the only meat I eat – raw fish lol. When DH and I were still dating I bought him a sushi-making kit, and we’ve been perfecting it ever since. I even bought another serving tray for Christmas this year. So fun.
Linda, your meatloaf sounds wonderful. Yes, more vitamin F for the new year!
Nancy from TN – yes – lucky 13!
LillieMaesMom – welcome and good luck. Love the cutie-puppy!
Michele, yes, it does feel good. I’m trying to not get too comfortable here, but it’s a good place to be even if I don’t lose another ounce. However, I really want to lose another 20 lbs by next summer. We’ll see if my body is in agreement lol.
LindaFJ, congratulations on the loss so far, and I hope you reach your goal. You are already quite a ways along on the path – good job!
LindaS, wow! Congratulations on the loss so far – and enjoy being able to play with those precious little ones.
FiftySix, that’s a good resolution!
CA1954 – I agree, it’s so easy to let exercise slip and then see the weight start to creep up again. In fact, after I finish this post I’m going to go do the workout I skipped this morning. Good for you for recognizing what’s happening and acting to keep it from getting out of control.
Happy New Year, Eileen and BJ and Amanda.
Katla, I agree, I’m not big on resolutions but will post mine here shortly.
Lin, LOL on the water in your cup. It’s in mine now– but I had the coffee too. Your open house sounds fun – have a wonderful day!
DeeDee, you sound like you did wonderful for December. If you keep on the healthy path, your scale will come along, and even when it’s not budging your body is getting stronger and more fit, and that’s really the goal.
Barbara, welcome back and keep coming back!
Sigmarhose, I like your goals a lot too. Always treat yourself with kindness – it’s a gift that will keep giving.
Robin, good for you for letting the stress go. I hope you feel better soon:flowerforyou: . I’ve been so fortunate to have skated free so far of all the bugs going around – I blame it on never leaving the house lol. I also think getting outside and getting lots of fresh air and exercise has helped a lot. Have fun with the baby’s first birthday!
Bjmcq, keep on with the good clean eating – it makes such a difference.
JeannetteMac, we always have room for positive people lol! Is that a picture of you? It’s beautiful.
Doobiedoo, I hope the new year brings the changes you want.
Rka58, welcome – we have a number of people who are struggling with meds and weight. Grr. Yes, you will need lots of energy for that baby
.
SaltyMama, you sound like you’re in exactly the same place I was last summer. I too have a birthday coming up:flowerforyou: – another Aquarian? This is a one-day-at-a-time journey, but it’s such a grand feeling.
Rebel, congratulations on that loss for December! That’s quite a feat! And yes, get moving. It will make your body stronger and lead to a better ability to fight the good fight lol. Looking forward to hearing about the veggie-fruit day challenge!
2gabbee, great goals!
JaneM, good goals too! Love the picture of the new baby – so cute!
Cheryl, LOL about the cookie! No way was I going to be able to log everything from last night – up to and including the drinks:drinker: . Does your fitbit include net calories? I wouldn’t fret about the horseback riding – you can’t do much about an injury.
Sassmo, (love the name) – glad to hear you’re learning a lot here.
Mouth5667, ugh on the stress eating. It’s the pits – when you’re feeling stressed it feels like the least you can do is be able to treat yourself. I understand. I hope your husband is doing better – and welcome to that new grandchild!
Colleen, glad that you’re finding your “voice” lol :laugh:.
Joyce, yes, it’s so hard to make ourselves a priority but it’s necessary. We don’t do anyone any favors if we’re running short.
Cherisuzanne – welcome, and congratulations on the loss so far! I too have a grandchild across the country, the other way. I can relate to the seat fitting – they’re hard to fit in when you’re “normal” sized!
Jen, I like making your goals something tangible, like a set number of miles or minutes – great way to think about it!
Lorarock, I like the idea of writing out your thoughts too. I find it’s helpful.
So, I completely went on vacation for the end of the year – but thanks to an active vacation of chasing around DGD and skiing managed to keep my weight in check. However, yesterday was bad, so I’m grateful it’s today and I can get back on track. DH and I generally go on a New Year’s clean-out – healthy eating, less or no alcohol, etc. He’s still trying to decide what he wants to do for exercise – he has a big trial coming up soon and will be traveling a lot. He’s also gained back around seven pounds of his 25 lost. He’s not the type to stress about it, but I know he doesn’t want to gain it all back so he’s going to get back to being serious about losing.
As for me, I like the idea of making my goals tangible. I’ve been pretty good about sticking with my goals – exercising every day, drinking my water most of the time, eating pretty good. However, I let the chips and cookies get in the way this past month and tend to rationalize a little too much to myself that it's OK, so I'm cleaning out the cupboards in addition to my body this month. I’m also setting a mini-goal of losing 20 lbs by next summer – I have a feeling I’m going to have to push past a plateau that seems to be coming on, so that means more exercising on a regular basis. Good thing I’m changing up my workout.
January Goals:
:flowerforyou: Exercise twice a day: Combat in the morning, then another workout or walk during the day six days a week.
:flowerforyou: Try to reduce stress more by keeping on top of my work and keeping my space clean. Finish my work before playing.
:flowerforyou: Increase my protein intake – get my nutrition plan back into a 40/40/20 ratio.
Cheers!

Happy New Year. I missed a new years party last night, thereby missing the temptation of the foods that would be there. Not that might pizza and whine ;-) I mean wine was any better choice! Did give me some reflection time, cleaned out cabinets and drawers in my kitchen, rearranged spices, cooked a pot of really good bean soup and feel good today.0
-
Well, had a blast at the New Year's party, I did eat a little too much, but not as bad as I would have been. I pretty much stuck with the meat and veggies, and I did have a little key lime tart, but only ate half.
I'm still working on my Jan goals, so I will post them tomorrow. Yeah the pool with reopen tomorrow, I can't wait.
Happy and thinner New Year all. Tigress0 -
Hi Ladies! I'm new to this forum and a hit & miss on MFP but am motivated again since it's January! Excited about getting healthy and thinner in 2013! My husband bought me a Fitbit for Christmas and am thrilled that it syncs with MFP. Looking forward to connecting with you all and being part of your support system!!0
-
Hi All,
I'm new to this group. I hope that I can be a support to all of you.
My resolutions are:
1) Eliminate processed sugar and gluten from my daily diet.
2) Reduce my use of dairy
3) eat whole grains/green salads etc.
4) walk 60 minutes 4-6 times a week
5) reduce a total of 50 lbs from my 186 lb. frame (4 lbs in January 2013)
Hoping all of this will enhance the quality of my life.0 -
1st day of 2013. I have decided this wil be my best year yet! I will exercise more, drink more water, eat more vegetables and cut back on alcohol consumption. sounds like a good plan - just have to stick with it.
What I miss most about being thin - being able to go into a store and try on clothes knowing they will fit and look good!! I have a closet full of beautiful clothes that I want to get back into,
time for supper now0 -
I would like to join this group!! My resolutions for January are: weight training 3x's a week, walk over 100 miles this month and eat as healthy as possible!0
-
Happy New Year - Thanks to Barbie for keeping the thread going and to being such an inspiration to me. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Well as Michele said, it's a New Year, time to wipe the slate clean so to speak and look forward.
Goals for Jan:
Log on everyday for my dose of Vit F
Drink more water
Exercise!!
Positive thoughts
I'm back at work tomorrow, and I'm planning on eating healthy lunches plenty of salads (or soups if the weather get colder) :bigsmile:
Thanks for the welcome back I'll try to be a better "friend" by keeping up with you.
Best get to bed I'm up early in the morning.
Bye for now

Good evening beautiful ladies:flowerforyou:
I'm back to post my goals for January.....I've thought about what I want to do all day, things like drinking water is so easy for me, I always get in 8 12 ounce glasses, some times even more, so I don't want that to be a goal, that's a habit, I love fish so I don't have a problem eating that twice a week so.....
1. Cook my own beans and peas instead of eating the canned stuff, way too much sodium in those items!!! This could be hard for me, it's just me and I don't know how to cook beans for one. I don't really like leftovers, and have no clue if you can freeze them.
2. Get my closet cleaned out this month, get those too big clothes out of there so I have room for smaller things!
3. Find a hobby I like, I used to knit years ago, I think I would need lessons now though it's been so long! Something besides being on the computer!
4. Find something to laugh at everyday!!
5. Be grateful for every ounce that comes off!
6. Check in here everyday to get a dose of Vit. F!!!
Welcome to all the newbies:flowerforyou: continue to come in and chat! This is a great group of supportive women!!!
Okay, I must go now and finish preparing my dinner, I'm making Jb's low fat cornbread muffins...YUM!!!!
Hugs,
DeeDee0 -
Dee dee...I love #4...find something everyday to laugh about...I write that in wedding cards to my many nieces and nephews! :bigsmile:
Jen0 -
Looking forward to participating in this group. New to posting. Wishing us all motivation and success in the New Year!!! Hope to pull out those smaller clothes and wear them by June.0

Happy New Year to all my friends on MFP
Thanks Barbie for starting the January thread - I really need my dose of Vitamin F.
Short post to mark my spot. Will try and get back on tomorrow to post my goals.

Happy New Year!
I've used MyFitnessPal for quite a while now but never joined the forums.
I was doing well with my diet until around Thanksgiving. I've put on 10 lbs in six weeks!
I made no NY resolutions regarding diet specifically, since I tend to break resolutions and diet needs to be a way of life for me!
I'm 56 and had a heart attack nearly four years ago. I never had weight problems until I hit my mid 40s.
I had great success with South Beach Diet about 9 years ago because of the great support of a forum, so here I am looking for support again!
What works for me?
Journaling my food intake
Drinking sufficient water
Keep moving! (I'm bad with this!!!)
Pushing the protein and curbing the carbs.
LOOKING FORWARD TO GIVING AND GETTING SUPPORT!!!
We can do this!0 -
Welcome everyone new! We're always glad to have new people
FiftySixFit - a great goal!
Did an hour on the rebounder today. If someone lives in an apartment or a condo, basically is concerned about jumping and making noise that might disturb someone downstairs, I highly recommend a rebound workout. I got my rebounder at Play It Again Sports for something like $45. I hadn't done the rebounder since we moved to NC five years ago, I'd forgotten what a good workout it can be, and there's very little impact. Tomorrow I'll do some yoga and then take the deep water class.
Bryan called early this morning to say that he and Dianna had gotten engaged. To be honest, I really don't know how I feel. I'm happy that he's happy. I'm sad in that we've only met her for a few hours once and that was at Jessica's place so I didn't feel as comfortable. I really don't know much about her except that she's a vegetarian (it took A LONG time before Bryan would answer me as to whether she ate fish or not), I only know that she likes shopping because Jessica told me, I know that she likes Doritos, but the ones Bryan told me that she liked now he tells me that those aren't the right ones. I'm sad but glad, does that make any sense? I wonder if a Christmas present for her should be two round trip tickets to the US. See, when we go to France, we have to get hotels, they can stay here. They can use my car. To me, Dianna should know something about Bryan, where he went to college, his friends, his family, etc.
Barbara - it's so good to have you back!
Ken & Lynette were supposed to be here last night. Ken had the flu a while ago along with pneumonia. Evidentally, it took a lot out of him. I did make a citrus ring cake for him. In retrospect, it was probably a blessing in disguise that they didn't come. Having the cake would have put me way over my calorie limit. As it turned out, I just had an orange for dessert (to me, that's a perfectly acceptable dessert) which put me over, but not by much.
Robin - sending virtual chicken soup to you
rka58 - congratulations!
For I think the first time I'm going to make a goal for myself this month. My goal will be to increase my protein. Hopefully, it'll be over what MFP says it should be. I've definitely found that if I have a good amount of protein for breakfast, I'm not nearly hungry during the day. I may nibble out of boredom if anything.
I'm cutting out these cat coasters from plastic canvas for Christmas gifts for the kids and hope to work on sewing them when I'm down in FL. I was originally planning to make a few blankets (crochet) for Christmas, but it looks like I should probably be working on the other quilt that I'm crossstitching and then have to quilt. It's just that I don't find quilting to be calming at all. I already cut out 6 of the coasters, have 12 more to cut out. I figure I can give 3 coasters to each kid and have a few for us.
Can't wait for Reb's fruit and veggie challenge
M - I'm with you cleaning out cupboards, etc. Jessica wanted us to send her Christmas presents to a friend of hers so in addition to the presents I made a cake for him and gave the cookies that I had left over from Christmas (I froze them so they'll be fresh when he gets them)
tigress - so glad you had such a good time at the party. Give Vince ANYTHING that is key lime, and he devours it. Key lime cookies, I make a key lime cake..... Good for you only eating half of that tart! The pool at our Y was closed last week for maintenance (wish they'd do that during the summer so I can use my own pool) but it's open now so I'll be there tomorrow.
roxywa - welcome. There are quite a few others on here who have a Fitbit.
smwert - you WILL get back into those clothes.
manon3 - we're glad to have ya, welcome to a great thread. Just pop in regularly
DeeDee - how do you cook your beans? I would LOVE to use plain beans rather than the canned stuff. A chef who works at Catawba Valley Medical Center told me once that when you soak beans, you get about double the amount. Like the nutritional panel says 1/4 cup, after soaking them it's like 1/2 cup. I think you can probably freeze beans. I've frozen them when I've had them in soup and there isn't any loss in consistency. Yes, get those too big clothes out of there, then it's shopping time.......
kathy5313 - tell us more about yourself. welcome!
Just got the Feb. issue of Consumers Report. There's an article about losing weight. In it they state that MFP did better than any of the commercial diet plans, including WW. It received a reader satisfaction score of 83 out of a possible 100 Mike is quoted as saying "We don't believe it's practical for people to follow rigid diet recommendations long time. If you want to have a glass of wine at dinner, hyou can eat a lighter lunch or go for a run. It's up to you to spend that calorie budget." MFP got high marks for maintenance, calorie awareness and food variety. It got poor marks for fruite & veges, probably because the addition of fruits and veges are really left up to the person, it's not a requitrement. It got pretty good marks for exercise but only did fair on initial weight loss. Interesting article, check it out (it might even be on the 'net, I don't know)
Here's hoping everyone has a great evening.

2012 recap from Fitlinxx @ the Y:
No. of Visits: 154
Weight Lifted: 677,555 lbs = 96,794 lbs per month for 7 months (lost about 5 months because of surgery/recovery)
13,285 lbs per session on average, not counting all the heavy landscaping in the fall
Cardio Mins.: 9,014 = 150+ total hours, approx. 12.5 hours per month over the calendar year
Calories Burned: 65,448 = 18.7 pounds burned off, but I’ve lost a total of 32 thus far
Now that I know what I actually did in 2012 I’ll think more about 2013, but at this time I’m considering:
Weight Sessions: 16 per month
Weight Lifted: 2,000,000 lbs for the year – that is 166,667 per month and 10,417 per session
(easy when it’s a legs day, harder when it’s upper body!)
Cardio Sessions: 24
Cardio Mins.: 16 hours per month, basically 40 mins per session based on 24 sessions
Big goals, but manageable I believe. The weight / size losses will follow. Nutrition wise, continue to eat well, yet incorporate more raw items and monitor my nemesis, that darned sodium!
So in preparation for all the planned activity…..I spent the day knitting, doing all the cards, shampooed the carpets in the front two rooms and talked with one of my brothers for a half hour or so today, too, which was nice. (He is the one I saw at Thanksgiving.) Then DH and I collaborated on a big pot of green chile stew and cornbread for dinner tonight –yummy!
Happy to be Healthy in 2013!

Happy New Year to my MFP friends.
Michele - interesting article about MFP. I wonder if they evaluated the new WW 360 program.
Welcome to all the new people. If you're wondering what Vit F stands for it's for our MFP friends. (F fo Friends).
Spent some time today looking back at my few months on MFP and where I want to be in 2013. I've decided I need my goals to be specific with targets. I love my new NikeFuel because it gives me something to shoot for each day.
So my January goals are:
Log into MFP everyday and track exercise, food and friends!
Make my calories be nutritious food.
Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day.
Increase veggies/fruits to get to 5 per day.
Exercise 5 x a week for 30 minutes (I've listed to types of activities on my goal plan)
I've set some targets based on two week intervals with two major events to work toward.
Barbie - love the graphic, couldn't wait to see what you'd do for January.
Everyone get ready for an exciting journey in 2013.

I didn't quite get to where I wanted to be by the end of December.... I was hoping to get to my goal weight but I still have 3 pounds to go! I had an addition to the family mid-month with the arrival of my brand new grandson... the first baby for my oldest daughter who will be 41 in 2 weeks. She and her husband are going to be incredibly good parents.
January is going to have its own set of challenges for me. I'm having an ongoing issue with my eye that might resolve itself, but it's doing so very slowly (I have a macular pucker... everything I look at in the central vision of my left eye looks like something in a fun house mirror). I see the retinal specialist again on the 3rd to see what he thinks we should do next or if he thinks we can wait a while longer. I hope so because on the 16th of January I'm having a total hip replacement. That is the biggest challenge as far as my weight loss is concerned. I see so many on here who've had a medical crisis of one kind or another who have gained weight during recovery. It's one of the reasons I wanted to get a couple of pounds below my original goal before I had the surgery, so I'd have a little buffer. I still have 2+ weeks to work on that, but I also want to be sure I'm strong and well nourished going into it.
So.... I'm going into 2013 very motivated and hopeful. Wishing all of you ladies a Happy New Year and success in all of your pursuits!0 -
Good evening and good new year to all:
An NSV for me this week...my doctor said I could stop taking the blood pressure meds since I've lost so much weight. I will have to take the b/p every day to see if it stays low enough...Here's hoping.
She also told me to try yoga for a back (well, really side of the back) problem I have been having. It seems like a muscle/skeletal issue to her rather than something more serious. Can I have recommendations for a total beginner yoga dvd? I know I am not at all flexible and it will need to be VERY beginner.:embarassed:
School starts again tomorrow which will make it easier not to snack. I haven't done too badly, but it seems to be getting worse as vacation days go on.
My goals for January are to continue on the same path. It's working! Eileen0 -
Not sure who provided the link to this, but it is worthwhile watching almost 1.5 hours of this 2008 video. : http://www.psmag.com/health/robert-lustig-sugar-obesity-diet-50948/
I watched it and learned a lot about HFCS - high fructose corn syrup.0 -
Happy New Year!
2012 was the worse year of my life, but I am here and looking forward to a new year and a new beginning. My goal to to get back to where I was this time last year and to get a computer!
Jeannie0 -
Happy New Year you wonderful, gorgeous creatures,
Well it has been a festive season I hadn’t counted on, working twice the hours I normally do, sleeping a lot and virtually getting way behind in everything! Happily, it seems most everyone is well again and finally back at work for a few shifts but they are in rough shape so I am still working a great deal.
New Year’s Eve a friend came over after we both finished our shifts and we sat and watched a couple of chick flicks, ‘Finding Never land’ and ‘The Holiday’ while my DH slept and my son was out at a party. Quite a couple of live wires we were as we didn’t even notice the passing of midnight until the movies were over. Yes, we drank beer and nibbled high caloric cheese balls and sausages and loved every minute of it.
I began New Year’s Day ploughing through big box stores looking for plumbing supplies for the bathroom, DH has started the reconstruction. But I want to know is why any stores are open today, is nothing sacred? There used to be three days nothing was open, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day and now one of them is gone, can the rest be far behind as they are trying to homogenize our society so that nothing is ours and we don’t ‘offend’ other cultures. (Don’t get me started).
Anyways, we found what we needed and hubby spent much of the day banging happily away downstairs while I began cleaning upstairs. While everything possible needs a good scrub, I decided to start with the kitchen cupboards, cleaning, rearranging, tossing and finding a home for my new coffee press. It felt good. One day at a time, one cupboard at a time, perhaps all will be clean by the end of the month.
I had my last weigh-in Dec 31 and the news wasn’t disastrous, thankfully, so now I can concentrate on our trip to Dublin in April and do my level best to be down 10 pounds by then. This is the big one, the grand IFALPA conference where we are required to be in our best bib and tucker which means an evening gown. Instead of looking like someone’s matronly grandma which I normally do, I want to look mildly stunning!!! Hahahaha!
New Year’s Resolutions:
I resolve to become a healthier person, to be slimmer and in better shape for Ireland in April and for the rest of my life.
January goals:
- To lock the baking away once morning and get serious again about losing, not just maintaining.
- Buy some weights and get started on some serious arm exercises as the soup cans were a wash-out.
- To menu plan a little better so I am not scrambling at the last minute trying to build a healthy meal.
- To drink my water every day. (Why is it so hard when it’s cold outside??)
- Lose 5 pounds, that’s 1.25 lbs. a week, which should be attainable!
- To meditate every day to quiet the 'monkey brain' so I can get things done.
Wishing the very best for each and every one of you,
Choose happiness,
Kate0 -
Good evening Ladies,
Hope you all.are having a good day.
Ours has been very a very simple hanging out with fiends.
Able to get a workout in. Besides cleaning.. getting ready for rest of my week. Back to work more normal routine. But I am glad this is a short work week.
I need to go finish some laundry. I will be back in a bit.
