Good Luck with your goals Everyone.
I am trying to stop all diet sodas - so may try some teas!
I also love your idea of trying out different recipes - something I want to do also. Love to have you share some of your recipes. I feel like I make the same things all the time. I have a hubby that hates chicken dishes, and for fish will only eat cod. He wants ground beef, etc. So its been a challenge!0 -

You are doing so good with eating healthy foods. Its so easy to grab junk food when we are stressed - something I am still working on!

I know if I keep going, I'll transition back to regular & more challenging poses....it will just take patience & consistency.

Below the 175 barrier (again). I have a pattern of losing through March then gaining the rest of the year. I'm a bit overwhelmed that it will happen again. But trying to focus on today.

Lol I started reading at the beginning of the thread and kept checking my calendar...it is only 2/26 here where in the world is it 3/1...then I realized it was the year 2015.

Got a new Fitbit yesterday because my Flex that I've had for 2 years finally broke. I chipped it right by the charging ports so it wouldn't connect to the charger anymore. So, I'm trying out a Charge HR. I'm going to wear both my HRM and the Fitbit for a few workouts to see how they compare.0 -

Friday, 2/26
1. Cutting back on diet soda - to give it up completely! I did OK yesterday with just 1 small can. I sipped it all day. I have 2 more cans left, and when they are gone - NO MORE! I know diet soda is terrible for me, but have been unable to stop. But if I'm not going to stop now, when will I. So time to do this now.
2. Drink water!! Concentrate on drinking water. Whenever I have a sip of diet soda - follow it up with water.
3. log every bite I eat
4. grab a healthy snack when hungry - fruit or whole grain crackers. No more popcorn smothered and cooked in oil.
The past few days I have been telling myself If I don't change my bad habits now -- when will I!! I am going to be 65 this July. I hate not being able to fit in my clothes. I have a closet full of beautiful clothes that I don't want to get rid of. So -- what am I waiting for. Time to do this NOW, and enjoy the rest of my life wearing nice clothes, having energy to do things, feeling good about myself.
Life is short. Last week I lost a very dear friend to cancer at the age of 67. I lost 4 siblings before any of them reached 60. And now I find out my only remaining sibling, a brother age 57, has serious heart problems and has to wear a life vest with a defribilator attached to him the rest of his life. He doesn't even have the energy to walk 1 block. So if I plan to get healthy -- what am I waiting for. We all take life so for granted. Things can change in a second. So I want to be the best I can be - today.
Food tastes so good, and habits are so hard to break. But feeling good about ourselves, doing our best to live the fullest life we can is so much more important than the taste of food. And if we can do this, one day at a time, those days will add up.
I know I have been struggling for the past year. I was 15 lbs from my goal weight, and started to gain, and have been unable to get in control. Today is the day I change all that.
