Shooting range

I had a victory yesterday. I really wanted a glass of wine but there was none in the house. So I refused to leave the house and make a special trip to get it. I just went without, ignored the craving. It feels good to be ok with drinking but not rearrange my life/schedule to acquire it. From now on I’m only going to buy 1…

My NSV was fitting my favorite takeout into my calories yesterday- and still came in under goal. (While feeling totally full and satiated) It’s really nice to know I can still have some favorite foods without banking calories or going hungry. (Because I’m personally really bad at doing either of those things)

My self care today was making a stop at the beach while I was running errands. I could only stay for 10 minutes but it was nice to get some fresh air and take a break from the usual routine.

Wow what a roller coaster ride! I can understand how taxing paternity issues can be. Good on you for reaching out and making your self care a priority. I’ve sent a friends request. Happy to support and encourage!

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like your mom is feeling threatened by your potential and success. Since she continues to poke at you (despite your requests and obvious distress) your best option is probably to ignore her. In psychology there’s a term called Gray Rock. In other words, be as boring as a…

FR sent. Any other ladies looking for mutual support feel free to add me as well. Girl power! :)

Sent you a friend request. You got this girl!

@snickerscharlie thank you for the correction! This is what I love about these forums, that we can all learn from each other. I got my info from someone who I thought was a well respected trainer. I should have gone a little further down the google rabbit hole :)

@dejavuohlala @Orphia it’s called Grid Diary. I use my bullet journal for book notes and memorable quotes. I’m loving the app for quick daily reflection and on-the-go thoughts!

I'm loving this frank discussion! My 2 cents- A heads up to new parents- It doesn't get better. Teenagers are legitimately insane and ridiculously expensive! Years of discipline, advice and wisdom is thrown out the window and thrown in your face. If you're lucky, they listen to about half of what you say. My daughter…

I will preface this by saying Im on the beginning of my journey and have only been tracking for a few weeks. But here is what I’ve noticed so far.... I personally noticed my eating was leaning more towards disordered when I had my calories set super low. I upped it about 200/day and have since done better. Most days I…

Today I walked to the park and journaled. Love using a diary app with journaling prompts. Inspires me to reflect on topics I would not think of myself. Helps me see how the little steps I’m taking each day really do add up!

You’re doing great! You’ve done it before so you know this is totally possible. What an inspiration. You got this!!

I think hesitancy is always a red flag that one should listen to. I found myself in the position of being involved in an industry that I agreed with at one point in my life, but no longer do. The struggle of getting out was very real and emotionally taxing. If a person has concerns before entering, those concerns may only…

You are learning to make healthy choices and bettering yourself! You are looking fab and feeling on top of the world. Your partner couldn’t handle it! Don’t ever dampen your shine because of someone else’s insecurities. 36yo female here. Add me as a friend if you want some extra support right now! Happy to encourage and…

I totally get this! My hubby raves about some gray leggings I had when we met. I want to recreate that moment for him 😏

Yes gurl! I used to be self conscious about making heads turn. Now I’m self conscious because I don’t make heads turn. Fml :D

I stopped feeling hungry at night when I made sure to hit my protein macros for the day. I do this by eating protein with every meal plus a double scoop protein shake with my post workout or pre bed snack. I use unsweetened almond milk and add a little cocoa powder and peanut butter to make it taste like a chocolate treat.

I'm in! Not sure what less alcohol looks like for me right now... I just know I'm tired of drinking my calories! I normally have 1 or 2 glasses of wine 3-4 times per week. I don't like the high cal/sugar intake, which made me think of switching to a different form of alcohol. Which made me realize it is not just an…

I'd like to join. Thank you for this group! My self care today was walking away from a triggering situation and choosing deep breathing and positive self talk over destructive habits.

I sent FR to all the ladies here! I’m also looking for support and motivation. 36yo female with 50lb to lose. Any actively supportive ladies feel free to add me!
