Yall I always slip up everyday. I start my day doing amazing then around 2 it goes down hill. I have a goal though to track everything that goes into my mouth even if it is zero cals. I need yall to help me stay on track. 🙂

@Katmary71 My porch will get some sun throughout the day and once summer hits it gets really intense sun in the afternoon. I might try a few herbs when I do my spring planting. I have this cute metal corner shelf that holds four pots. Thanks for the birthday wishes! I spent a great deal of time yesterday reorganizing my kitchen to fit the new things my mom gave me. I even made dinner using my cast iron skillet. I love it!! I hope that your pain will ease for you soon, but do go to the hospital if you must! And there is no such thing as too much cheese!

@trooworld That is good that you got the shot. I have heard that the second one can make you feel much worse than the first, but I’m sure you will be fine. Will you start doing things that you haven’t been doing once you get the second shot? I’m just praying the mask mandates get lifted here before summer gets here!

@TwistedSassette That is great that you had so much fun with your friends. And yes, you are right that the pizza weight gain is from sodium. You will get it off in a day or two. I looked up yoga wheel Pilates and I can see why your core would be super sore. What a great workout!


Hi Team! Today was just another Thursday. I went and did my church cleaning and then had a staff meeting. Afterward, I took my mom to her eye doctor appointment. I made Buffalo chicken wings for dinner and they turned out so good! But I also had pasta salad and that is NOT on my plan. Last night, I shared a bottle of red with hubby and finished off the birthday chocolates that he had given me. So, my weight is up and I’m not sure what weigh-in will do for me tomorrow. This is why I’m calling enough and tomorrow I’m back to strict Keto and will get back to my longer fasting hours. Yesterday, my hubby looked up my BMI and was super happy to let me know that I’m no longer obese but just overweight. That is huge and very motivating to keep going. I want a healthy, normal BMI.

Beck Diet Solution Question of the Day
DAY 29 – Resist the food pushers! We all have food pushers in our lives. There's an exercise in the book that helps us identify the cost of giving in to food pressure from others. We need to have responses ready to go when people offer food that is not on our diet. The other issue is that you perceive you will hurt the feelings of the food pusher if you turn down offered food. What is the worst that will happen if you turn them down? Most people won’t even remember five minutes later, and they certainly won’t be obsessing over the fact that you turned down the offered food.

Think about the costs you will incur if you say yes to these food pushers. Check off all the statements below that apply to you:
• I’ll have to deviate from my plan.
• Eating this might set off cravings.
• I’ll feel like I’m being controlled.
• I’ll feel weak.
• I’ll be giving the message that it’s okay to push food on me.
• I’ll feel bad after I eat it.

These are very good questions to ask ourselves!!

@TwistedSassette Yes, I've heard that too. My husband got his 2nd dose of the Maderna vaccine a few weeks ago and complained of a very sore arm but that's it. I hope I have that kind of reaction, if any. Leftover pizza is a good thing! Well, not for dieting, but it's delicious! That's great that you still had a deficit. You'll get that gain off in no time.

@gettin_healthy_with_fibro Welcome! Tracking everything is a great idea. Tracking is so important. I hope you find this group as helpful as I do.

@bmotisko Hi! I'm glad you posted. I hope you are having a great week, too!

@TeresaW1020 I've heard that, too, and my husband's arm was much sorer after the 2nd shot. I will start doing some things: eating outside at restaurants, seeing friends, but I will still wear my masks everywhere. Yeah, I hate wearing a mask in the summer! I'm glad your wings came out well. Overweight category: what a great NSV! Congrats!

Hi all. I'm very happy I had a loss today, after an emotional week, I thought I'd have a gain. Not much going on here, I'm glad for a new week.

My phrase for the year: CHANGE HAPPENS

@GabiV125 Great job on setting a goal for exercise that you can stick to. I think many of us set unrealistic goals and then get frustrated and angry with ourselves when we don’t live up to them. I love the thought that we are in charge of the gray areas!

@gwamajtw91, @Cornanda, @itsmegina, @mlhopp93, @digger61 and @bmotisko Yayyy on the scale going down for you all this week!! Keep up the great work! @mlhopp93 A BIG congrats on hitting your 90 lb. mark. That is such an amazing accomplishment!

@dignow96, thanks for the birthday wishes! That is great that you are feeling more comfortable in fitted clothing. I’m right on the edge of that feeling and looking forward to when I don’t feel the need to dress in baggy clothes anymore. Well, that Lego city needs to go on display somewhere. It’s very impressive. I once tried to help my husband’s 7-year-old grandson build something out of Lego’s and he gently took it from my hands and looking me straight in the eye said, “Maybe you should just watch me do it.” Evidently, I’m Lego challenged.

@gettin_healthy_with_fibro We have you down for your weigh-in day on Mondays. If you want another day just let us know and we can change it. Also, when you do weigh in remember to do the correct format so @broncobuddee can easily find you.

Hi Team! Today has been a fairly relaxed day. I did a treadmill walk because I pulled a hamstring muscle so I skipped 80 Day Obsession and all the squats and lunges that were on today’s schedule. I had a Zoom call with a Facebook group of Christian intermittent fasting women. The guest speaker is someone that I have followed around in several IF groups. She has lost well over 100 lbs and today came clean with her struggles with sugar and regaining some of her weight back. It was honest and heartfelt and I was so moved. Here is this woman that I think has it all together only to find out that she is human and still battling her demons. It reminded me of how much we all need community and how important it is to not do this alone because when our struggles occur we will be left alone and that is not healthy or good. Having a tribe of like-minded people is so very important. It’s why I love this group. I can be real with you all and I hope you feel safe enough to be real right back.

Beck Diet Solution Question of the Day
DAY 30 – Eating out / Special Events
It’s important to fully engage in life and to enjoy going to restaurants, parties, celebrations, special holiday feasts, and other people’s houses for meals. You just need to develop helpful attitudes and have a plan of action. We are going to be faced with eating events the rest of our lives, so planning for them is key. The book has all kinds of strategies to help with eating out and at special occasions. For me, I have been fond of saying that I’m not going off my diet but instead I’m going to have a “planned indulgence.” Like I did for my birthday. I have gotten much better at getting right back on plan after I have one of these “planned indulgences.” However, I realize that I need to be careful with this attitude so that I don’t start thinking I deserve to eat off-plan just because I’m at a restaurant or it’s a holiday.

*I’m including Day 31 because these two days seem to go hand in hand.

DAY 31 – DRINKING ALCOHOL
Drinking alcohol is a personal choice. You may prefer wine, a mixed drink, or a beer to a food-related treat. Alcohol calories add up fast if you aren’t careful, especially when you are out at dinner or at a party. You have to learn to plan your alcohol intake before you go, just as you do your food intake. Don’t decide on the spur of the moment to have a drink—or an extra drink. Really solidify your ability to make and follow a plan.
Many of you know that I love my wine! But I had to come to the reality that “Wine Fridays” weren’t doing me any favors with my weight loss. So, I have given up wine, except for special occasions. Like turning 55!

@Cornanda thanks for the encouragement. I hope it also helps you too, knowing that catching weight fluctuations is a helpful skill.

No cubes this week too but it's I waa lazy not to fold one after eating only 1 square of chocolate than my bormsl 6 square per sitting

@apple852hk - Tiredness also makes me lose motivation for exercise. It's the pits. You've been great at keeping your weight fluctuations small by reacting to them quickly- excellent. I will miss seeing your cubes this week, but I'm glad you only ate 4 chocolates.

@Cornanda thanks for noticing! I just realised too. Well done @TeresaW1020.
Thank you slimpossibiles team mates for all your likes, support, comments and suggestions 🙆🏻‍♀️
