Went to visit my bff today after work because she's going out of town in the motor home for a few weeks. She's the friend who always says I'm losing TOO MUCH weight and tries to feed me snacks and sweets the whole time I'm there! Her hubby offered me a beer several times and I just kept stalling and finally had to just decline.... so they asked if I was "giving up alcohol"! I told them yes! (It's just easier that way!) In the past he's brought me one anyways... and I would take a small sip or two, and eventually go to the restroom and take it with me - and pour it down the drain and fill it with water!
Tonight was also the first night that I ate ALL of my allotted daily calories and seemed to still be hungry after finishing my supper. I busied myself with cleaning up the kitchen, but in my mind I told myself that I would figure out something very low cal to snack on a little later. I knew that it would put me over for the day, but hopefully not by much. By the time I finished cleaning up the kitchen and joined hubby in the family room - I was surprised to find that I was NO LONGER HUNGRY! I drank a large glass of water and was VERY pleased with my successes of the day (both at my bff's house AND not snacking after dinner!)8 -

I feel like my biggest mindset change has been the "all or nothing" mentality. Before, if I felt like I'd blown it, it would very easily become a free for all! Now, even if I go over my calories for the day - I don't go crazy. That's a huge #win in my book!3 -
@Mrs_Hoffer - WOW - talk about 3 big WINS! - turning down alcohol, getting past the late night snacks, and overcoming the "all or nothing" - that deserves a happy dance!

Yes x 3
How has your mindset changed because of your new healthy(ier) lifestyle, and knowledge that you've gained in your journey?
This is just a few weeks in for me, so not a huge mindset change, but I'm working towards losing what @Mrs_Hoffer referred to as the "all or nothing mindset." I used to dive into new work out programs, pushing hard, doing everything, often.
Now that I'm older, I can't pull it off. I can do a lot, but I need more recovery time. I'm learning to be okay with that, to take an extra day to rest, not push so hard. I can do everything, just slower with more days in between. And I'm learning to be ok with slow progress.5 -
@SummerSkier- Happy Birthday!🎉
Exercise: Went for a walk in Central Park with a friend.
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes
I think my viewpoint on food has changed. Before I saw it more for taste and comfort during times of stress, now I see it more as a way to improve my health and help my body. Taste satisfaction is still really important to me but there has been a shift there. When my friend and I went out to eat yesterday, I ordered a butternut squash salad and loved it. I actually wanted to order the salad instead of filling like I should have one. I find I enjoy greens and vegetables more. My friend and I also had a long talk about how to support each other when school gets stressful.

@Mrs_Hoffer
Wow O! 3 big wins!
I applaud you for saying "No".
I always tell my kids that "no" is a valid answer.
When we were kids, we used to sing this song on the playground for our friends that become sick after eating too much.
"Wherever you go, whatever you see, do not say YES when you mean to say NO"

❤️Sleep
Making good progress on my sleep habit!
Two excellent night’s sleep in a row.
Besides eliminating screens two hours earlier, I experimented & found stitching relaxes me even more than the book reading. I do this on the side of my bed. Then slip under the sheets & sleep!
Also, I cut all decaf coffee & dark chocolate off at 3:30/4pm which worked great.
My new Morning Walking habit is going great. Cooler, better air quality, less UV. I am usually done by 10 or earlier with all my steps/minutes/arm & planks DONE!6 -
Mindset change: Ever since i was a teen ive always been on a diet... So i hve had to rid the diet mindset, Uac and half size me was the driving force behind this. I also had a very unhealthy relationship with food seeing food as bad food but i now see certain foods as fun foods and i dnt deprive myself from hving them i am able to eat them im moderation which has stopped the binging as i dnt feel restricted. Lastly i am learning to not eat based on feelings so wen im nervous, happy stressed or bored!! Xo5
