NSV . For me is finally looking in a mirror and seeing myself as I am instead of focusing on the loose skin and big middle. It has taken my brain almost a year to change my self identity to reflect reality.
I currently exercise mid mornings but when the weather gets better will strength train in the mornings and walk outside in the evenings.2 -

@lindamtuck2018 I usually work out after work during the week and in the morning on weekends. I’m starting to add more exercise back in. Covid numbers have dropped so our state mask mandate was just lifted today. So I plan to go back to the gym on Monday!
Also. I did a thing. I signed up for a half marathon on Sept.4 with my hubby and sis in law. My husband has been sick for years off and on and had major surgery/several hospital stays at the end of 2021. He now has a permanent ileostomy but is doing AMAZING. So we are going to start training and have a triumphant September and return to health for him. I’m excited and hope he continues to do well.
I don’t know when I posted steps last so I’ll start at the beginning of this week @Megan_smartiepants1970

The hunger-fullness scale, from 1 to 10
Intuitive eating is an increasingly popular alternative to diet culture, and the hunger-fullness scale is a key component of it. Also known as the hunger-satiety scale, the hunger-fullness scale can help you determine when you are actually hungry, when you're just eating to eat and when you're not eating enough. It can also help you figure out when to put the fork down so that you leave your meal feeling satisfied and not sluggish or sick.
"The hunger-fullness scale is a 1-10 scale that is used to rate your hunger and fullness levels, with 1 being painfully, ravenously hungry and 10 being beyond stuffed, so full that you feel sick. A 5 is considered neutral. This scale is an important tool for helping people recognize their hunger and fullness cues, which may sound easy but many of my clients struggle with," says Meredith Mishan, MS, a registered dietitian nutritionist.
10: Beyond stuffed. You're way too full and feel ill and nauseous.
9: Stuffed. You're full to the point of discomfort and may feel stomach pain.
8: Very full. You feel completely full or even a bit overfull, with no desire to eat more.
7: Moderately full. You feel comfortably full and satisfied.
6: Lightly full. You feel satisfied but could eat more (and will probably be hungry again within a couple of hours).
5: Neutral. You feel neither hungry nor full.
4: Lightly hungry. Hunger starts to set in. Your stomach may growl, and you have an appetite.
3: Moderately hungry. Your stomach growls more, and you start to feel uncomfortable, irritable or distracted.
2: Very hungry. You feel low-energy and weak. Your stomach may begin to hurt.
1: Starving. You're painfully hungry and very weak. You may experience dizziness, headache, inability to concentrate or fatigue.
Note that there are some different variations of this scale, some of which include a 0 for the strongest level of hunger. But the concept behind the scale is always the same: to measure the spectrum of hunger and fullness.
This is from part of an article I read earlier, on MSN.com. I found it interesting. Hopefully, below is the URL for the full article. Lee

Happy Thursday, Downsizers! Things are still incredibly busy here but I've been getting my exercise completed and I have stayed in my calorie range.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 Steps for 2/16 7,034
I hope you all have an amazing day!
I am really impressed you haven’t let your exercise or eating change even though you are busy. It is so easy to let things slip when life gets busy. How are the knees?1 -

I'm ok with this. I've not been very good this week at getting my steps in or journaling. Also had a little stress this week with a health issue. Everything is ok now - just getting through it was rough.

I'm still trying to do this on a regular basis. If I do exercise, it's usually early evening - just after dinner.3 -

@888Angie888
You can get back on track. Set a goal or two and work on those until you are ready to add more. Have you thought of rejoining the step challenge to help you meet your step goal each week?
@Beautyofdreams
That’s a great NSV!
@Bluetail6
Nice loss! Very interesting article. Intuitive eating is something I would like to try eventually. I really like the part about watching a child eat. It is so true. When I was a kid, we had to eat everything on our plate before we could leave the table. I wonder if this contributes to not being able to determine our level of hunger as an adult.
@rwood566
Your meatball glaze sounds interesting. I am not a fan of molasses even though I come a place that everyone eats molasses and bread.
@aneedlecraft
Fantastic loss!1 -

I am glad your health issue as improved. Stress makes weight loss difficult. I hope your coming week is better for you!2 -
