@boehle @Beka3695, I am leaving on vacation Thursday -Tuesday. Can you please put me on support for that time?

I got my fitbit charged and working again! My goal is to drink water, get some exercise daily, and track my calories daily!

Seeing the post about how all the teams the last week in December made me feel better. Remembering that we can't be 100%, 100% of the time is important. I easily forget, and then ensues the negative self-talk.

I'm excited about this week to come. I did my meal planning today, and think I have a good eating plan for this week. Because I don't want to overwhelm myself with too much, I'm only committing to Zumba once this week, but hope I'll go twice. I'm also really really hoping the lockdown ends the end of this week, and the pool reopen again next week. It seems like lots of people in my province did not make good decisions about travelling/spending time with family over Christmas/New Years, so I expect we'll see a spike in cases, which will extend the lockdown.

Every week when I make my menu, I put a quote on the menu I post on my fridge. This week my quote is "No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again" - Buddha.

@Dogmom1978, good for you for making that decision! I've done a lot of that too. I have a large pile of clothes in my home office that are too big, and I plan on donating/selling them. I have a few bins of clothes too small for me, waiting for me to get there. I'm so excited to get there! I organized my bins by size, and kept two shirts and two pairs of pants out for the next two sizes down so I can try them on as I lose weight so I know whether it's time to open those bins. I'm also going into another 'I won't buy clothes for a year' phase. I did it from May 2019 to May 2020, so I hope to go a year again. It really helped with my pocket book, plus I honestly do have too many clothes! I should be ok with the clothes I have, and let's face it, I'm working from home, so who cares what I wear?!?! LOL

I noticed a few others in our team are using the habit tracker, yay! I've not used it before, so this will be my first month. Looking forward to seeing the progress of all our team members who have put some things in there.

@heatherbluebell -I’m in Ontario and we are starting online school today -trying to figure out a schedule as we live fairly rural and internet sharing for all of us will be hard. I went grocery shopping for appropriate lunches for all of us -it was so nice not buying “school snacks” -but soups and salads etc.

Hello Shrinking Assets Team. My name is Tanya, I’m 44 and I live in Ontario, Canada. Married, 2 kids (11,14) and I work in primary care so last year was a long one. I joined MFP in 2018 with some good success and came back in October of 2020 -and found this great group! I really enjoy reading all of the posts -the positive outcomes and challenges..., and very happy to meet new members. My current weight is 231.8. My highest weight was shortly before joining this group at 257. I have had a pretty steady loss, and feel the need to share that I am on a weight loss Rx called Saxenda-this was a tough decision to make but necessary on account of my health. The plan is for the medication is short term while I continue to build in good, lasting habits. My goals for January include: tracking my food intake on MFP, doing my Kundalini Yoga 3x/week when I work from home (Monday, Thursday and Saturday) walking on my lunchtime 3x/weekly when I’m in the office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday).

Kelly here... let me start by saying I was a lousy team mate in December. It is my promise to you, my team, to do better in January.

PW 256.2

Goals:
✔ food is fuel/nutrition NOR for comfort mindset
✔ eat small meals every few hours, followed by a lean & green dinner
✔ No more BEER
✔ Be more accountable and active in this group.
✔ walk at least 3/4 days a week for 30 minutes

We got this!! 🦾🦾

Happy New Year to everyone and a warm welcome to all our new members.
@Beka3695 I am going to remain on the Support Team for a bit longer due to my ongoing health problem. After many tests and two bone biopsies my doctor has not been able to figure out what is causing my hemoglobin level to drop. My hematologist stated he had other patients with the same condition, some patients required blood transfusion and after some time on immunosuppressive meds have recovered. But thank God my levels were not that low that I needed a transfusion. I am currently on immunosuppressive meds, which has help to stabilized my condition, but had caused a weight gained about seven pounds, my current weight is176lbs. I had a recent NSV my HbA1c Ievel is back to normal went from 5.8 to 5.5. a good reason to celebrate. I get really tired because of my low levels, but I will not quit I will continue my weight loss journey.
Hope everyone have a Great day and a successful weight loss journey.

Thank you for the update. I think I speak for the team that we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!!! We are here for you -- feel free to drop by any time.
