I let my good eating habits and exercise slip during February but I'm ready to hit it again. I had been regularly eating a few different Green Giant steamer bags for lunch everyday at work. I think I just ate so many of them I can't even look at them anymore and I'm having a hard time finding something else simple to grab and go at work. Then I had some issues with foot and elbow pain so everything kind of crashed for the month and I gained 4lbs after losing 21 since starting with MFP. The good news is I am committing to making March my turnaround...can I get a Hell Yeah!!

    Good for you, don't give up. We all have times where we go off the rails. It's whether you can get on track that matters, well done and keep positive x

    Falling off of the fitness wagon is easy to do, I think we have all been guilty a time or two (or more). The good thing is you are getting back on starting today. I too ate so many smoothies that I couldn't look at another one for a while. I think we do that, we find something that is easy to eat and grab while at work so that it is not junk food or high in calories/fat and we burn ourselves out on it. Good job on your 21# loss! Keep it up!

    It happened to EVERYONE at least once. And it is possible to bounce back. You'll do it. Here's to a fabulous March!

    Feb was super bad for me too... no gym and kept on eating uncontrollably - EVERY SINGLE DAY! March will be a #restart month! All the best to us!

    Good luck! I would suggest adding variety to your meals to keep things interesting and tasty. Also, eating protein in each meal is generally a good idea and keeps you full and helps maintain muscle mass with a strength training program. Maybe a bag of steamables, some grilled chicken and some rice or potato and make a "bowl". You can experiment with different herbs and spices to keep things fun.

    And look on the bright side: February is the SHORTEST month, so you picked the best month to have a relapse! Seriously, you will be fine.
