Number 14 - rainy day! I'm visiting my dad in Massachusetts. The contrast with a couple of days ago when our high temp was -5F is amazing, but the rain is relentless.
SO, I was very grateful my dad has a dog. I kitted myself out in my dad's rain jacket, my stepmom's Tilly hat, my overly warm but blissfully waterproof winter boots, a good audio book, and, of course, the dog. We walked for a good hour, got completely soaked. I see that a dog would certainly be a good incentive to get out in every kind of weather. My dad's dog is a wonderful mix of Great Pyrenees and Labrador Retriever - she's tall, and loves to walk. I can't have a dog at home - hubby has terrible asthma -- and I really miss them. I'm always game to steal my dad's though!
I'll be down here in balmy weather until Saturday. Eating out some, but keeping up the workouts and the walking.2 -

Not doing great with really anything in my life right now. I though about quitting the group but then I thought quitting will not help anything so I'm doubling down and getting back to basics. No eating after 7. Cut out the carbs. Measure everything. No snacking. Back on track!6

Good for you for staying! Ultimate success in this journey is much more about getting up, dusting yourself off and getting back on track than it is about perfection. Eventually, you will slip less often and get up more quickly. We are here for you!5 -

I agree, good for you! I find that when things are tough, even doing just a bit to stay on track with my health goals can lift my spirits. I hope the same for you.2 -
I am feeling good, my weight continues to trend down and expect to post a loss on the weekend. The weather here is really yucky and I have a few tradespeople coming in, so I will be housebound. But I think I will put some music on and do some stepping in my basement. Then maybe some stationary biking. Have a healthy day everyone!4

"jogged around Paris" for 30 minutes yesterday - even "passed some places" (the glass pyramid at the Louvre; the square in front of Notre Dame Cathedral) I actually walked myself for real last June.4

Thanks! After tomorrow a huge anchor will be lifted. I will finish my german class that I have been attending 5 days a week 4 hours per day. I have not enjoyed it at all and it's been a huge energy suck from my life. I'm not sure I will pass my final test but that is not so important for me. I will just be happy not to come here anymore.3 -

Oh, you bring back memories. I lived in The Netherlands for 18 months, and the first couple of months taking Dutch lessons every evening was extraordinarily exhausting. I'm glad I did it, but it sapped everything I had for a while. It was worth it, though - and everything got better afterwards. I hope it is the same for you!
I am also glad you're sticking with us. Post a message from time to time to rant, send news, celebrate little victories - anything. It is always great to hear what is happening.3 -
Postings caught up to date - let me know if I missed anyone.

Even if you are unhappy with this particular weigh-in, everyone is down in weight since the beginning of the month. Keep on keeping on. It is working.3 -
Last day of Week 4, people! A few items for you:
- weigh in if you are due or overdue
- I think we are responsible for week 5 challenge. @mari_moulin ? Are we? If so, what about a veggie challenge - more colours, more veggies on our plates. Photos and recipes welcome. Sound good?
- Everyone staying on for February? You don't have to do anything if you are already on the team and have been weighing in. If you want to leave or change teams, let me know. I'm definitely on for another month!

Well I got consumed by tradespeople so no stepping etc yesterday. Today out for a mall walk, because it is -11C. Have a great day!2 -

Heres an interesting graphic to consider that I have used in the past that might be helpful. I am not sure I buy all the stuff under support column, but the colours get you thinking about variety.
