    Catching up on posts. @mshawski - omg the story of your son just warmed my heart. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that. And @seilidhe - congrats on the new shoes - how nice of your daughter to do that for you.

    I’m writing this on Monday morning so technically a day late. Weekend event went great. I manage a general aviation airport. We had vintage planes, antique cars, crafters, universities, flight schools, pancake breakfast, food trucks, raffle for an airplane, and rides in a B-25. The pancake breakfast alone had around 1,000 people. I had lots of happy volunteers, all my staff helped, and the only complaint I had was from a very cranky hangar owner who was mad that cars were parked too close to her hangar, so that was an easy fix. We had a beer and pizza party to celebrate at the end of the day. I tracked my food Saturday and counted all my steps as my exercise. But Sunday I didn’t even track not because it was hopeless or I went crazy, just because it would have been complicated and I decided to not worry about it. I slept all night last night for the first time in weeks. So it was definitely a success and now I can retire.

    My NSV - on Sunday late afternoon I needed something to eat but just wanted something lite, not a meal. I looked over our snack selections, decided to pass on the chips, cookies, crackers, etc and chose an apple! The apple honestly was more appealing than anything else. And I totally attribute that to my newfound focus on freggies.

    Pass days: 2/3

    Thanks for the update @biketheworld — sounds like it was a spectacular event and all your hard work and planning brought a lot of joy to many! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    ❤️Sleep

    NSV: I am effectively eliminating worry, negative self talk, and discomfort with my affirmation.

    This is huge.

    That is beyond huge. That is part peak of self-actualization so kudos for continuing to climb the mountain (this is a Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs reference but I'll spare you the pyramid pic lol)

    Thank you @MaltedTea very much. Yes, I’m a Maslow fan, too!

    It’s been a real “game changer for me.” Ie Letting go of all I might wish wells different”

    Thank you for your support!!! YT ou are very inspiring 😘

    pass day #4 which makes me disqualified, but I will continue to post daily to develop my posting habit

    I remember a quote @Mrs_Hoffer posted previously that said "you can't manage properly what you don't measure".

    I am starting at the very beginning again. I need to develop the simple habit of tracking more consistently. Over the weekend, I didn't track, which kinda proves my point that I need to get back to the basics. :smile:

    Good for you @KCJen - I periodically have to tighten up On this too!

    #You’ve got this!

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

    Kitchen Closed? Yes
    Going "nuts" with nuts today? No (13 days-free )
    (I go "nuts" with nuts most times, trying to continue a good habit this month. Counting the number of "nuts" free days.) I am still learning a lot about myself in this area!

    Lots of freggies today? Yes

    Pass day 2/3 (this is for accountability to myself and my records).

    Thank you all for all the motivating NSVs.
    My NSV this month is going for a weekend trip and just enjoying it without spoiling it with too much food. Just having fun.

    Like @donna25trinity I am going to say my NSV this month has been keeping some "dangerous" foods in the house and managing to portion them out without going into binge mode or ending up throwing them away. One thing I have found in maintenance is that every once in a while you need to take a step back and remember to savor your food and not just gobble it down. LOL.. Being happy with smaller portions of tasty food and not letting the enjoyment lag because you are not savoring.

    Have a great Sunday all!

    Keeping fun foods in the house is not easy! Well done 4 resisting temptation!
