I agree with your post. You'll get no woo's from me because my n=1 experience had shown that I do way better when I'm focusing on whole foods (lots of fruit, veg, some cheese, lean meats) but also having some balance in my diet (small treats but not going overboard). My personal their, which may be wrong but seems to be…

Week 2 Weigh in on Mondays Username: skram01 PW: 257.7 CW: 257.3 Glad to see it's in the correct direction. I know I'm still holding some water weight from period eating and starting back to exercising so hopefully next week I will really be able to help the team!

You did an amazing job. It can become easy to minimize our accomplishments when we don't reach out goals, but I think you did amazing. You set a realistic goal, loved your life to the fullest, and though you fell short, you still made amazing strides. Continue to reach! I'm so proud for you that you were able to complete a…

Took an online seminar on prioritizing and planning my month. Tonight my husband and I are going to Tacofest!! I'm looking forward to tacos.

My self care dropped off for a hot minute. So last night I went and camped in the woods. I spent the evening spring in front of a fire reading. This morning I say around drinking camp coffee and eating rice and beans while I read. It was so nice. I need to get my *kitten* together because I have been slacking lately.…

This weekend I visited with my sister. We went to the sheep and will festival and it was such an amazing time!! Yesterday I went hiking. Today my husband and I worked in the garden. Later I am hoping to finish putting together or bookcase, do a little reading, do a little painting, and snuggle with the dog. We are going to…

Yesterday I picked up a book from the library that I have been looking forward to reading and started reading a little bit. Today I am taking a break from the gym and I'm going to do some trail work on one of my sections that I haven't gotten done because if weather and schedule issues.

I haven't had a chance to post here much but I have been doing a lot of self care. I have been hiking more and working in training. I have also been working on spicing up my house with new shelves and potted plants. I've also let myself sleep in the last couple days because I've been feeling a little run down.

Yesterday I went to a professional development seminar. I was feeling grouchy earlier but I'm glad I forced myself to go. It reinvigorated me. I wrote in about 15-20 minutes and performed an ABC story (a type of Deaf storytelling) that I was really happy with. One of my mentors who is an amazing language model told me my…

My husband and I met online when we he had just to turned 30 and I was about to turn 31. We hit our 5 year dating anniversary earlier this year and in two months we are celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary. Love happens. I'm sorry for your loss. I promise it can happen after 30. I also promise that 30 is not a death…

There will always be disadvantages to any body type, I promise. You look wonderful and I think perspective can definitely help. Yesterday I went bathing suit shopping and I literally can't but one piece sits. I'm a full size different between bottom and top. If I'm an 18 in bottoms, I'm a 16 in tops. If I want a one piece,…

That was supposed to say acrylic painting, haha. Stinking auto correct. It sounds like such a wonderful time!! I'm a similar vein: for Thursday my self care was to follow through with making plans with friends that I run into every few months. I'm really making an effort to be a good friend and cultivate strong…

This month I've started up fairly strong. I did a manicure for myself on Monday Tuesday I organized all of my makeup and makeup tools as well as starting an access painting. Yesterday I did a watercolor painting, and did a classy mask. I also met up with a friend for coffee and to exchange birthday gifts. It was so…

To finish off March, this weekend my husband and I went to a trail steward meeting and also picked out our anniversary gift to ourselves which is a new book shelf. Instead of spending money on things we don't need, we put money into something for the house. Last year we got ourselves new chairs that we desperately needed.…

I kept meaning to post this in here but life got away from me. But, now that I have more to show and some portions look better due to being more filled out, this is almost a blessing. Warning: longer post with lots of pictures. Thses are some of my entries in my health bullet journal collection, my hiking/training bullet…

My husband gets this from my mom. She mostly says it to me though. He is 5'11" and usually is around 167-170 (recently at 173 so wants to drop a couple). I simply tell her that he's at the to end of his healthy bmi. I think he looks really good. He even still has a little belt and comments are made. Although she does also…

@Orphia what an amazing and inspiring post. Thank you!! Sunday my husband and I hikes a chunk of my section of trail that I steward. It was my first real exercise since getting cleared on Wednesday. My first exercise in March. It was such a lovely day. We also had some really difficult discussions that will hopefully help…

On Wednesday I was cleared to ease back into activity. I am so jazzed!! Yesterday I went to the outlets and found new hiking shoes for only $50 so I got them in both colors. I will need them since I'm putting in a crap Tom of miles this year!! Today I am back to reduced calories. It is going to be super difficult because…

I know that I used to be insanely insecure about going to the gym. As others have said, you don't necessarily have to go to the gym. You can set one up at home or get into body weight fitness. There are ways to do BWF where you don't need any "tools" other than a sheet and door that locks. Or, find activities that your…

I truly believe it ends up being a little bit of both. You're trying to eat in a way that will be sustainable for the rest of your life. For most find it will be just about eating less of foods you like to fit them in. For me, there are a handful of food that I can not limit myself on. I end up over eating then no matter…

You are right. That was supposed to be "attacking" friends. Haha. Yesterday I found some motivation for getting smaller. I found a shirt I love on clearance. I got it in a size that should fit me close to goal. My husband and I also went to a talk on training for a challenge I'm going to be doing and I got two pairs of…

I've started doing origami and I found a cicada that's easy but super cute. I'm going to make a took if them and start "stabling" friends this summer.

Yesterday I went to the movies with my husband and then to dinner with friends. Such a wonderful day!!! I ended up sleeping really late this morning but I got over 8 hours!! Now if I can just do that consistently but get up at a reasonable hour, haha. The other day I also cleaned out all of my makeup brushes. Saturday I…
