MFP Calorie Counting

Sorry not been in here much lately - been a bit busy and super tired. Hate TOM - Just coming off my monthly visitor - my whole system goes into complete meltdown. I'd like to say I'm looking forward to the day it stops but not so sure how the next phase will be (sigh). Some months are better than others but sometimes there's no fighting it - you just have to be extra kind to yourself Dilly and sometimes answering what your body wants is better than ignoring it. It'll be over before you know it
Hug xx That's interesting advice Astraea about the magnesium thank you, anything's worth a try - can't get any worse - right!!! - It would be so helpful if we came with an individual manual when we were born *LOL*. Now my energy has returned I've been mixing up my exercise as starting to think I don't have enough variety to maybe kick start the pound shift. So, as well as cycling and walking I've added some quick burst 15 min cardio, stretching and strength workouts to see how that mixes things up. Hoping I can shift something ready for our next weigh in. 0 -
Astraea - definitely try the hot tea if you're having trouble with water - not easy when it's cold. The herbal teas are much better these days so if you've not tried them in a while and want a rest from caffeine it's worth having a look - I can recommend my current favorite by Celestial Seasonings - Honey Vanilla Chamomile Hope you're all having a great weekend. 0

Sorry ladies - I'm up a bit for this weigh in
I had my IUD replaced last week and I'm struggling with bloating and cravings ...plus, I'm just really struggling with this weather...uggg...it will not stop snowing and it's consistently been around - 25 degrees Celsius. I'm just really starting to feel the blah of this time of year.
Gotta snap out if it though - leaving for the Dominican in 6 weeks!0 -

Sorry to hear about your health issues you can only do your best under circumstances like that but you're still here with us so every little counts. It's so tricky when it's cold too, body needs more fuel to keep warm so that's important too. You've done so well with this challenge and everything you have done is a wonderful achievement. This minor blip is only a wrinkle and you have a great vacation to focus on so keep that in your sights and keep going slowly and steadily. 0 -

I have always been a big fan of Chamomile and the Honey Vanilla is amazing! Thanks for the great recommendation Julia!Astraea - definitely try the hot tea if you're having trouble with water - not easy when it's cold.

I had an IUD once and really did not work out for me at all. Hope your body adjusts to it soon and bloating and cravi.ngs stop. I can really relate to the weather. It can def be a drag especially if the sun is not shining! I have been checking out the seed catalogs and planning my garden. Trying to find something to look forward to. Found a different Leslie Sansone video on youtube to mix things up a bit.BuddhaMom74 wrote: »Sorry ladies - I'm up a bit for this weigh in I had my IUD replaced last week and I'm struggling with bloating and cravings ...plus, I'm just really struggling with this weather...uggg...it will not stop snowing and it's consistently been around - 25 degrees Celsius.

Seems like this challenge really fast can't believe it is almost the end of Feb! Summer will be here before we know it! Hope to see all of you in the next challenge! My goals for this week are drinking more water and staying under my calorie count!0

I need to kick this in gear too. After my mouth heals I plan to get in a more regular exercise plan! My nephew is getting married in June and I need to find a dress to wear!0 -
Where did the time go...it's been a fab journey. Changing and mixing up my workouts is my next plan of attack as I think my body has started to get used to the same routine.0
