1. To be more active in this group. I haven't been in the past challenges I have done.
2. Log all food and drink.
3. Be more active
4. Lose 5-10 lbs.
I have to say so far I am very proud of myself. We live in South Carolina and have been watching Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isaias. Normally we would be buying lots of junk food and giving into the stress of the storm. This time we have stayed away from all that stuff.
Yikes @ahelgers10! I've only been through a small hurricane when I lived in Houston, and that was enough for me! Being stuck inside for 3 days just about drove me crazy! Hope it passes quickly with no damage! Try and make a shopping list of healthy snacks and stick to it when you go and shop. That will help you when the time comes.
We made it through Tropical Storm Isaias just fine. It barely hit us as we are about 30 miles from the coast. It was just a typical rainy gloomy day. I was very excited when it was done last night so I could get out and go for a walk around my neighborhood. I was very excited because after having lived here for 5 years I finally tracked the distance of the walk I take around our subdivision and it is just over a 1/3 of a mile. It will be nice to know I can do a couple laps without getting to far away from home and still get at least a mile in.2 -

Happy August you guys! I weigh-in on Wednesdays but things are a little hectic so I’m posting slightly early.
This is my 10th month with this group and I’m happy to return!2 -
Week 1 Question: I think my biggest obstacle is not letting life get in the way. I always seem to let changes in my life derail me. 8 years ago when I first joined MFP after a couple months I started a 2nd job over night and I stopped being as serious of tracking my food and was up over night on the weekends which lead to me eating more. Then 2 years ago I was at almost 30 lbs down and then started dealing with some health issues and yet again I thought I needed to take a break when in reality I should have stuck with it.2

@ahelgers10 - Life is a huge obstacle to a lot of our goals, especially right now! I am a major planner in all aspects of my life and unfortunately, I constantly get my plans stepped on. Since I have been like this most of my life, I have learned to shake off the things that get in my way, pick myself back up and find a new path. Forgiving myself when I feel like I have failed is a BIG thing that I have learned to do in order to not get discouraged. Hang in there and don't let obstacles stop you from achieving a healthier life!0 -

You must be doing something right, nice loss! I have a sweet tooth too, sometimes just giving it up for a few days, (including artificial sweeteners), does the trick. Good Luck!1 -

It helps me to have fresh fruit for when those cravings hit. I love my chocolate and ice cream and not having any sugar pushes me into overdose on those two things! But an over 2 lb loss is not a bad thing, either! Good job!0 -
