NSV for me yesterday! I actually ate under cals by 200 by accident! I am really happy with myself. To get one day complete is something for me but under by a bit? Yay!!! Lol!
@LaurieWrobo Congrats on your new kitty! I am sure you and your other kitties will win her over in no time.

Good morning everyone!!! May I please change my weigh in day from Sat to Friday?💕 Friday is more workable for me.
We’re expecting a heavy snowfall this weekend here in WA state, also❄️☃️
I’m still trying to figure out a good plan for consistent weight loss. In the past I’d eat 2 regular meals, exercise and skip supper. That worked well for me with good results so I’m going to start that today. If I’m hungry at night I’ll have a cup of tea☺️☕️ I have 40 lbs to lose so I need and want to hit it hard🙋🏼♀️
Hope you all have a lovely day! At the moment the sun is shining! A rare sight this winter. Sure helps to brighten the spirit☀️

YES! It was almost light out today on my way to work, and this is a big deal here up north. The day is already 30mins longer than it was on winter solstice on Dec 22nd. Even today, the sunrise was 9.15AM and sundown at 3.38PM. Skies were clear all day today and I admit to just closing my eyes and pretending I was tanning for a while at the office when the sun shone directly to my face, instead of getting up and closing the blinds so I could see my computer screens. One more month to go until the day is long enough that I could theoretically see the sun both when I go to the office and when I leave it (8 hours).
So, today I had plans to go to the gym and just do a cardio workout on the treadmill. What I did not plan for was a group fitness class taking up all the treadmills exactly when I wanted to use them. The class is only 30 minutes long and only happens twice a week, so this was a really annoying coincidence. I could have just joined the class, but I was there 5mins after it started and it was already full. I ended up spending 10 minutes in line to ask questions about the treadmill situation, and then 15 minutes just trying out other machines I haven’t tested yet. I got my workout in anyway, but it wasn’t even as good as previous workouts this month.
Tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday are rest days from working out, I’ll see some friends tomorrow and then attend a scout meeting/seminar all day on Saturday. Sunday is for groceries, probably gym and then chilling the rest of the day.5 -

My furry team
This is my team:
Black dog is Tucker. I love him more than most people.
Orange 3 legged cat is “Littles”
Fluffy cat is “Boy”
My husband was really creative with his cats.
The tiny dog is one I dog sit from time to time. She is just the sweetest I just wish she was mine

Nice furry family members, ladies!
@LaurieWrobo, what a pretty kitty and already a cheesehead! You got the pic downloaded- well done. I'm originally from WI, so I can recognize one when I see one- ha ha! You're a sweetheart to take her in, especially with winter rearing its ugly head. Sure, I like snow as much as the next gal- as long as it's only on the grass! After 45 years of winter, I'm in southern CA. Here we only have to worry about fires, earthquakes, and drought. No big deal. After 5 years we're ready to move to where it's greener, which is almost anywhere else but here. A couple of years until retirement, so we're looking already. Back to WI? Too much winter for me, but relatives are still there to visit. I'm still a Packer fan, but miss cheese curds more!
This weekend will be gearing up for hubby to back to work after a couple weeks off. Gotta get frig stocked with his lunch makings and that means grocery shopping. He eats a lot of fruit/veg/yogurt daily. I even make him homemade granola. Yes, he's spoiled, but I eat the granola too. I'll make sure to get a nice long walk in too.2 -

Yes! Loving the fur baby pics!!! I'm a Packers fan as well! And I'm from Los Angeles, but have lived in Virginia for 15 years. Perfect weather here! We get the four seasons but nothing too crazy. Nice and mild 1 -

Go Pack Go! Everybody in this team a Packers fan? I am too, I did a high school exchange year in northern Wisconsin. I ended up there because the host family was of Finnish descent and they wanted to learn about Finland - the weather and seasons were just like home for me. I did end up teaching all the other exchange kids things like ”how to walk on snow”. Surprisingly hard, apparently.
I also have a colleague who’s a Packers fan, and he’s from Mexico. He watches football religiously, but I admit my ”fandom” and following is limited to what my old WI friends post on facebook and hearing updates from the colleague, and *maybe* getting up early to watch Super Bowl if Packers make it there.3 -
Chance is on the Left and Theo on the right. These guys are my best buds, I like them more than people.

Was hoping for more. Just started training this week and I’m very sore! Hoping water retention is involved.
On our way to Houston for my daughter’s birthday. My husband just stopped at the locally famous Czech bakery en route. We haven’t been in about four years. We would normally load up on baked goods but we bought *one* kolache and split it between us. I will call that a win!8 -
I just met with a nutritional therapist (or registered dietician, I just learned this week there might be a difference in these terms in English, I went to see the kind that has a university degree on nutrition and is certified by the state). My head is spinning, there's so much going on, the lady was very intense and I sat there for more than an hour.
We did do some goal-setting, with the primary goal being stopping weight gain, and then losing first 5kg and eventually 20kg. We also set the goal of making sure I have a balanced diet with all necessary nutrients, which I can't take for granted with my IBS.
The tools to do this would be to even out my meal schedule so that there are 3-5 hours between meals, not less or more. Honestly I'm not sure what this has to do with things, but apparently it's important. Other tools are to decrease average calorie density of my foods and upping activity/exercise to an hour per day.
We scheduled our next appointment to exactly three weeks from today, and my "homework" for this time is to find a way to eat a more nutritious afternoon snack and trying to increase the average amount of veggies in my dinner to 50%. Let's see how this goes.
The most concrete take-away information from the hour was that according to her, foods with less than 150cal/100g are pretty much free to eat as much as I want, foods with more than 350cal/100g should be only eaten very consciously. This will be an interesting 3 weeks.4 -

I applaud you taking the initiative to meet with them. That is a big step I still haven't made.
So although I am not keto, I have been doing more low carb meals and found this video to be really helpful as I am on the go all the time and don't have time to make large meals like I used to. I am slowly adding more to my meals, but the spice combos he goes over are really nice to help with flavor profiles.
