Happy Thursday team. I am determined to make it through tax season eating healthy. There have been past years where I start to feel sorry for myself and somehow convince myself that I deserve to eat .... whatever crap I feel like. That usually makes me feel worse all the way around. So maybe by this age I’ve learned my lesson 😀

I have my computer back!! Oh happy day! Lol! I just need a bigger screen to do things. I don't know how people do this on phones. I was struggling on the ipad too.
There is no reason for me not to have another good day today. I am walking Charlie, getting my hair done and then running errands. I have dinner planned even if we end up going out. I really need a good weigh in January. Last time I lost, I am not too sure why I did but this time I had a good week.

We will go over to the February Thread Sunday. Once it opens up, we can go over and start introducing ourselves. Instead of the weekly challenges each team did in the past, we have something fun planned for February. I am looking forward to it. I really am proud of our team, we did great with the keeping it green in January. We have had a lot of changes behind the scenes in F2F in the past 2 months. Everyone was putting an effort into keeping it up and running. January we settled in and now we ready to get moving in February!


@JillyBT I don't know what I would do if I lived by you. It is weird, I just can't watch. After I heard the initial reports, I couldn't watch anymore. It just breaks my heart too much. Kobe grew up near me and I feel like I watched him grow up. I remember him going to the prom! I actually was listening to a podcast that they were talking about how important it is to feel your feelings and I think I am trying to avoid that. For goodness sake, I didn't know him personally but I guess we can all relate how a tragedy like this would change our lives forever. Also to lose such young people...just so heartbreakingly sad. You are right, it does make us appreciate our families more. xoxo
Also I need your steps for Sun-Tuesday when you have a chance.
@brown6267 Amazing as usual my friend!
@lennoncpa I think with planning you can definitely get through tax season eating healthy. Maybe even plan some snacks and meals that are healthy that you can have when you feel like you deserve a treat. I know you can do this!
@nstephenson01 I know you are up from where you usually are but this week you really didn't gain. You did have a better week than usual so just build on that. You know I was struggling right there with you! I tell you-February is going to be our month!

@brown6267 you do an amazing job with your consistent step counts! Impressive.
@lennoncpa I do remember you talking about tax stress eating in the past. Sounds like your ready to change that pattern. I know it’s an intense crazy time for you. Maybe you can schedule some sweet self care in there too. Bubble baths, walks, favorite foods and healthy nurturing treats that are your favorites. Some mini pamper times.
@nstephenson01 like everything else we have energy patterns. Sometimes we wake up and todays the day. You will get your groove back! Hang in there and let’s celebrate our February successes!
@sleepymom5 yes January green on this team was impressive! Great job everyone. I do all my posting on my phone lol. Glad you finally have your computer back and good job on your string of good days. That’s all we need is 1 good day and then another.
As always huge thanks to you and @Cafelelia for doing such a loving supportive job of captains of our team. It’s a big job and you both do it so well!
@pacsnc6 so glad your back is feeling better. It’s so debilitating to suffer back pain. Sometimes you need to focus on one thing then the next. Habit tracker is a great idea. You will get back in the food groove too. You have come a long way.
@ljdanny great job on your loss this week. Especially with all that you have going on.
@jmilner89 going down!!! Congrats!
@timibotkin we love winter and winter walks. Your trail is so beautiful! I have lost some of these posts and am behind. I think about you and hope you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing the photo!
@fi45 oh the colds and flus this year have been terrible. Stay hydrated and take care of yourself.
@rosieposiesrl oh so sorry to hear about your friends husband. My goodness that is a huge weight loss. Stress does a number on us that’s for sure! Your a fun asset to our group. You do not need to re register. Just jump on to February thread on Sunday for monthly introductions.
@JillyBT yes very very sad about Kobe and his daughter. My parents were big fans. So shocking.
TGIF...anyone else ready for February???
I feel like January was such a jumble. It’s all part of life. I always think it’s not that these things are happening, that’s part of life, it’s what do we do when they happen. It’s our choice on how to respond. For me I choose to stay focused on my goals to strengthen my health and appreciate moments of joy and happiness.
