    Welcome to the world beautiful Grayson!

    Ended up getting some popcorn at the cinema, which wasn't a wonderful idea but I'm not going to let that break my stride! The scales might be up a bit more than expected tomorrow from all the salt though. Woke up this morning and went back to my morning run, now that the weather is above freezing again here. Plan is to still go to spin class this evening as well to help work off those extra popcorn calories. I hope everyone has a great wednesday!

    Sophie...I love going to the movies, and movie popcorn is something I will NOT give up! I plan for it in my diary and rather than get a bucket like I used to (shared with DH), I get a medium bag. The day I go, I usually drink more water and do not eat any starchy carbs. I went a few weeks ago, had popcorn with no gain the next day nor did it hinder my loss for the week. I think planning for those kinds of treats keeps us from feeling deprived and helps us to better able to cope with staying on our plans.

    Good morning, challengers and new people!
    Happy Wednesday and Happy Hump day for those of you who work!

    I'm just peeking in before I go to the gym. Today is lower body strength training and then the pool. It is supposed to be another sunshiny day, and we are looking forward to it.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful, productive, and mindful day!
    Stay strong!

    There is something quite special about movie popcorn isn't there? It just tastes better than regular microwave popcorn! I got a medium bag last night and decided that I'm not going to weigh myself today and will just weight myself as normal. I don't go to the cinema very often so sometimes you just need some popcorn! I'll keep in mind for next time to drink extra water the day I go as well as the next day!

    BGood morning my friends
    I will try this again I tried to post a little about me but however something happen to my post I'm not really sure. so if its on here apologize

    I want to thank everyone on here for the great motivation. I did get outside and start walking again yesterday. this time last year I was walking 3 to 4 miles 6 days a week. for one reason or another I got out of the habit. it is amazing how good I feel this morning. there is every day challenges, mine today is I'm keeping my great nephew. he is almost 2 years old, we both keep each other very entertained. I do not have children but my nieces and nephews are my children. I'm so thankful that my niece lets me keep Cameron 2 days a week.
    I am from Western North Carolina. I'm a cosmetologist specializing in skin care makeup and hair.
    I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
