I struggle with this too. I needed the reminder.

For me it's more water. I do pretty well when I'm at work but at home or out and about I do not drink enough. I'm committing to drinking 8 glasses of water a day.

Thanks guys. You are awesome!

My action today was this post. I want this group to be a place for positive, uplifting interaction that helps others realize they can accomplish any goal they set for themselves. I always worry no one will find my posts worth reading or beneficial .

It's nothing I've had to deal with but I'll see what I can find out about it.

My Accountability for Today: I worked out - day 4. I've been getting up early even though I'd much rather sleep in. The other thing I'm focusing on this week is getting my house in order. I head out of town next week and I need things neat and tidy.

@new_me_14: Great to have some company. I'm just going to take it one day at a time.

Me too.

Good for you Patti!!! You can lose the weight you gained. Those steps you took to listen to your body are huge.

Glad it helped. It was an eye opener for me.

I will admit I tend to want it now but I have to remind myself that I didn't get out of shape in a day so I'm not going to get back in shape in a day either.

1. Holly 2. Washington State 3. Healthy Eating I don't want to get older and not have the energy to do anything. My husband and I had kids young (21) and by 40 they were graduated and moved out. Now we have time do stuff together and I want to be able to actually do something.

Wow!! What a loss. Very impressive. Sounds like you are working really hard. Keep it up and I'm sure you'll hit your goal

Congrats on both awesome positives. I know the house search has been quite a process. And your loss is an amazing!!!! Keep up all that hard work!

On Monday I'll start an introduction post so we can get to know each other better. We need to get some dialog going in this group.

Good point. I was thinking about it in my perfectionist mindset.

Interesting recipe. I'm not a big sweet potato fan but I should try it before I pass judgment, Thanks for sharing.

@varula - awesome victory. Saying no to something can be hard. I know I can be the "are you sure" person at times. Having something else there to help you stay away from temptation was a smart idea.

The blog I've gotten the bulk of my recipes from is www.blessthismessplease.com

Thanks!! It's going to be a tough for a few days but I can do this. Love the support.

I'm sorry about your grandpa - I hope he's doing ok. Great job pushing play even when you didn't get a lot of sleep. Definitely something to be proud of :)

Awesome post @FitnessFairy127. What a great feeling to have your friend join you! Sounds like you are already an inspiration to others. I'm struggling a little this week. Round 2 of the stomach flu has hit. Hoping it will pass soon. I guess on a good note, I won't be eating anything I shouldn't

Nice to meet you Katie. So glad you joined us.

Thanks for getting us started. I've been going to post a welcome and haven't gotten around to it. Please feel free to invite others to join.

I think this gives you a good example of how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9msEniBkbU

hollydohrman - pretty original aren't I?

I think Basketball is the hardest season. It seems to last forever.

English was never my strong suit.

Our bodies need fuel from different sources. We just need to make sure we are making wise choices.

Great tip. I'll have to remember that one.
