Here you go, the February Fit2Fat Habit Tracker

@19shmoo69 I’m so sorry for the loss of your family members. Prayers for you all!

@askewcr What a great day you had with your “sweet potatoes!” Yes, let’s get those goals together and have a great month!

@Katmary71 I hope you have a good doctor’s appointment! I used to be horrible at planks but I’ve gotten better but still modify quite often.

@amioc Welcome to the team! The end of the month and new month chat threads can get confusing. You can post an intro in both or just one. I look forward to getting to know you.

@trooworld What a nice day you had yesterday! I’m jealous of your California weather. What’s hubby cooking?

@vegan4lyfe2012 Please don’t leave and please don’t quit on yourself. I know what it feels like to have to begin again. I’m doing it after gaining 20 lbs since October. Almost every day I feel like I have to regroup and start again. Tomorrow is a new month and another chance to make some positive changes. Are you with me? I sure hope so!

@nfll406 Up in the top left corner of this page next to our team name you will see a small flag. Click the flag and that will let you be notified in the small bell up by your profile picture at the very top right of the page. I always click the bell to be taken to this group, which I find to be much easier than other ways. I hope that helps! We are so happy to have you here. Living on a cattle ranch in Montana sounds very interesting and I look forward to hearing more about it. Corgis are the cutest!!



Hi Team! Today was a good day. I went grocery shopping and then came home to do my workout. I restarted Beachbody LIIFT4 and had forgotten how hard it is from day one. But I love it and I have vowed to do all eight weeks with my BOD team. Hoping to see some real changes and muscle gains. I’m getting serious about having a great February and even set up the Habit Tracker, which I will use! I am also going to post here to help keep me accountable. So please feel free to call me out if you see me not posting or doing what I said I would.

2022 Word: INTENTIONAL
Workout/Treadmill-Day one, LIIFT4, chest & triceps
Eat one meal below my DDF blood sugar trigger-My trigger is 84, and when I had dinner it was 75
Track my food and macros-Yup, I actually tracked it all!
Eat min. 100 grams Protein-Protein was 116 grams.
Bible study/reading-Yes, I worked on this week's Bible study. Read a chapter on fasting while eating string cheese!

Hi I’m a little confused (doesn’t take much 😂) I joined a few days ago should I have introduced myself in the January chat group or February chat group?

Hi @amioc just chime in here, even if you posted in the January chat group it can't hurt to post here too.

Thank you 😊

Happy Tuesday!

Today is my dog's vet appt.... He has a potentially serious gut issue and he's 12.5. He's acting normal. Not sure what's going to happen at this appt. My vet scared the heck out of me regarding how serious this could be.

I'm struggling with a habit I haven't conquered yet. Eating while cooking dinner. Even though I usually have a snack around 4 pm, I seem to be starving when I'm cooking around 5 pm. In the past, allowing myself a snack plate of veggie while cooking has helped, so I will try that tonight.

I'm getting back on the horse with exercise- it's been a bit sketchy lately. I'm still wanting to see a 6 in my weight, which would mean I've dropped down to the next set of 10 pounds. Didn't make it in Jan, sure hoping I can do it in Feb.

@FushiaKat I do what I call my “laundry walk”. I take my clothes from the drier one piece at a time and fold it on the way to where it belongs then do a fast walk back usually pumping my arms. It raises my heart rate as much as a normal brisk walk with the added bonus of having my laundry folded and put away when I’m finished. Clear a path first and crank up some workout tunes

@Cornanda I have the same issue while making dinner. I find carrot slices are helpful since they require a good amount of chewing and if I don’t want to eat at all I’ll put on a mask so I don’t put anything in my mouth without thinking lol

January turned out to be a crappy month for me. I usually like the start of a new year, new goals, etc. but this year I can’t seem to get myself motivated. Maybe I need to set small goals by the week or by the day. Any suggestions?

No loss but no gain. But... I lost 2.5" last week, so I'm taking this as a win! 💖
Loss to date: 69.2 lbs

@nfll406 Welcome to Slimpossibles!

@amioc We do an intro every month so if you can also post it here that would be great! I still learn new things about people that were here before me and I'm going on three years. Welcome to the gang!

@Cornanda I feel the same about the group, it's the only group I've stuck with so long. Prayers for your pup today.

@19shmoo69 I'm so sorry to hear about the death in your family.

@vegan4lyfe2012 You can't leave us, who would we talk about horror movies with among all the other many great things you bring to us? I hope you stay, if there's anything I or all of us can do to support you please let us know.

@trooworld Sounds like a beautiful, relaxing day! It's been windy today so I'm staying inside.

@nfl406 Welcome to the gang, you must be really busy all the time on a cattle ranch. So glad you found us, I'd love to see pictures of where you live sometime!

@TeresaW1020 Love how you're starting off the month strong! I'd asked how your husband was doing but just read your last post, I really pray it's the end of the cancer and there's some way to improve his memory, keeping him in my prayers.

@askewcr So glad your heel/ankle is doing better! I love the idea of the heart stickers, I respond well to that kind of reinforcement too.

@FushiaKat So glad you're having a good pain day, sounds like you got a lot done! I wouldn't sweat not getting rid of anything, you finished a lot of stuff!

@trooworld Way to go on finishing yoga! I like the idea of making yourself do SOMETHING, that helps me a lot to keep it open as once I say I have to do something I start disliking it.

@Jactop I would think small things, you can think of now as a new month, new moon, new Chinese astrological year, end of Mercury retrograde, lots of good reasons to try something new now! Like a new recipe a week, a different workout, for me it helps to change things up to keep it more exciting even if it's just different music. I used to put things I had to do on little pieces of paper and pick them out of a jar, you have to do whatever you pick no changing your mind so if you picked scrub toilets you're scrubbing toilets! Since my workouts are pretty repetitive I play a game when I'm bored where I have to work out to songs with a certain word, I did "love" recently so LoveGame, Love Bites, etc, you get the drift or bands/singers that start with a certain letter. I get some weird suggested playlists from doing that though from opera to metal to rap! Recipes I just look for something that sounds good but I get Skinnytaste emails and she sends ones sometimes. Rewards can help too. I've roped a friend into trying an Instant Pot recipe with a pork roast this week from my Rootitoot cookbook so I'm excited to try that!

Hi everyone! So I did this thing, I was telling a friend how I moved here to be by my family but don't know many people around here so I don't go to concerts or anything and she asked me why I don't go alone? Never really crossed my mind to go alone, I was supposed to see Lindsey Sterling with a friend for my birthday but my ex-boyfriend was supposed to be out that weekend and I wanted to keep an eye on things so that was a bust and of course he dragged it out. Anyway, I bought a ticket to go to a thrash concert in May in Sacramento this morning, I'm really excited! I have a couple people that would like to see them but no one around here, neither of my best friends are into metal so it's all me. So now I want a cool outfit and would love to lose a little more weight by then! I'm going to have a ton of snap peas, every seed has started. I didn't go to the food bank farm this morning because last week I was soaked from sitting on the ground, I'm going to wait for it to dry out a bit. My OB/GYN agreed to keep me on hormones for now at my appointment yesterday. My nephew cut school again yesterday so I went over to talk to him. I told him I didn't want him to fall behind in school, of course he said he wouldn't so I told him how Aunt Kathy cut school and fell so far behind she (I) got sent to a continuation school where all the troubled kids went. This post reminds me of something @AustinRuadhain would say:

@Jactop I'll have to try that laundry work out. It's a good suggestion.

I set daily goals for myself, small ones that I can accomplish. Goals should be obtainable but with a slight stretch to reach them. If they are too big or too hard, they just won't get done. Then there's the feelings of guilt for not meeting the goals we set for ourselves. Start out small, maybe set a low step goal or water goal to start with. You can always increase or decrease the goal later depending on where you are. I use my Fitbit Versa II to help keep me on track. I have it linked it to Amazon's Alexa so I can set timers and alarms. I recently add alarms for the times I should be taking my medications because I suffer from Brain-Fog at times, which is just the most frustrating in the world and I need a little help now and then with reminders. It was not enough to have a pill box with different sections. I was keeping up really good then last week I missed 2 afternoons. Since I take medication 5 times a day, I find the reminders most helpful. It also reminds me to walk 250 steps per hour. I never thought I needed a Fitbit but now that I have one, its great and I use it every day.

I stocked up the freezer some today, I will need to make another trip for shrimp, but I will get lettuce at the same time. It feels good not to have to worry about hub's dessert, the shelf I picked out for his Sherbert can hold 14 cartons. I read that I can freeze yogurt, I'm just going to put a container in there and try it out. It said the texture might change due to the water content, but Greek yogurt is the best to freeze.

I was so busy today. I'm trying to keep up with my goals, I'm on my 5th book. I love Kindle Unlimited, I really love when it goes on sale at Christmas, and I buy another year. I need to find a new recipe, but I don't mind eating the same meals over and over. I just mix up my selection during the week. Lol, my husband has 3 recipes he eats, and I have 4. It also makes it easier for me to shop. Before I would have cringed if you told me, you at the same thing twice in one week. I have changed. I spice up my Squash Noodles with different flavors of sauce. But Roasted Garlic is my favorite.

I'm looking forward to losing weight this week, but if not pounds then I will settle for inches.
