Good morning. Hoping today is better. @aleahurst It didn't. Was a bad night. Felt very dark and sad yesterday....let problems at home get the best of me. I had a binge (small for me) due to it. Stress, sadness and feeling overwhelmed. Feeling like no one cares. So, self care in the pooper. I have to get back on track…

@aleahurst Momentum sounds good! I have made a vow to get my butt on the treadmill tonight for 30 minutes! I can do that!!!! Right? ..... Let's hope my minions don't zap my energy completely today. LOL Have a good day, all ! Kim

@nickiphillips1 Welcome! This is a great group...nurturing and positive! You are a warrior. That weight will come off if you stay consistent. Your nutrition is awesome!

@xxbrimstonexx - Story of my life. I am my own worst enemy. Problem with that is....you get older.... You wake up and you wonder where the last 5 years ....maybe 10 went. Life is short. Live for now. It's not selfish. It's necessary. <3 Kim

@aleahurst That makes you a cheap date. Hi All. Keep rockin' it. Feeling pretty proud of myself these days. Now I just have to find the energy to exercise. Grrrrr! Or even stretch. The aches and pains of this nearly 46 year old body are a newfound joy daily. LOL Kim

Hello all ! Checking in to say hello! Things are nuts, but what else is new? Just want to say hello.... We are in the "post New Year, okay is this all there is to life?, I'm sick of counting, logging and avoiding ice cream" phase. Let's regain our motivation!!!!! Kick butt girls! (And if "butt" becomes "kitten" ....I give…

@CT0526 Do the best you can. My prayers are with you. I have been exactly where you are. Rest when you can...eat as nutritiously as you can.....but be gentle with yourself. <3

I am getting back on track with Self Care and Beautiful Behaviors. I tried to catch up, but I started getting dizzy reading everything backwards. So....I am sending everyone good thoughts, positive vibes, and self care love! I'll check in again tomorrow. :) Slow but sure.... Kim

@trailgirl777 Praying for you. Keep up your strength and don't get ahead of yourself. Sending good thoughts to you.

@happysherri I am trying to catch up with everything and everyone....so I am reading backward. Keeping your Dad lifted up in prayer...God bless him!

Ugh! @jessiquoi Hope the dental stuff goes smoothly and painlessly!

Hi all! Hope things are going well. Going to use the weekend to regroup, rest and meal plan. I am exhausted. I had been very proud of myself for busting out of my funk and depression and being as uplifting as possible. I am going to have to struggle with this again. Funeral was yesterday. The capsule version of the story:…

Thank you for the words of support. I really appreciate them. It is my way to feel guilty .... taking care of myself when something so awful has happened. How can I think of myself at a time like this? It's hard to shake 45 years of conditioning. My Italian heritage makes grief a very very complicated thing. But, I've…

Plans for new and improved motivation are on hold. Sudden death in the family last night. Absolutely devastated. I will be in touch. Kim

Good morning all: Ides of March and a new resolve. I HAVE to get this in hand. I need to dedicate myself 24/7 to my beginning goals. I have slipped into all of my most un-beautiful behaviors. Over eating, distracted eating, not logging, no affirmations....back on Facebook wasting time and becoming unfocused. Ad nauseum. I…

Feel better soon!!!!!!!!! <3

Had a great day Tuesday....but yesterday! Wow. Stress eating galore. Back on track today. Checking in to say hello..... Got March teacher burnout for sure.....with 3-5 inches of heavy snow due in NJ in time for the morning commute. Yay us. LOL

Hi All: Haven't been around. My motivation is nil. I have to start doing things differently. I've gained more than a pound since I began. I have to change things up or I may as well just forget it. The only Beautiful Behavior I've done lately is get more rest. I can fall asleep on a picket fence these days. Going to really…

Happy Friday. Had the nightmare of dress shopping last night. Is there ANYTHING less forgiving than fitting room mirrors????????? Strengthened my resolve but STILL !!!!!! Man! My butt NEEDS the gym. Have a great one! Kim

Ahhhhh....self care, self care, self care. I got away from it for a bit, sank back into poor habits - but back and better than ever! Hi Everyone !!!!!!!!!! Whatever you do today...be brilliant!!!! (unless it's power eating a 16oz bag of chips) :wink: Kim

Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent - and back on track. Sending up a big (busy) hello!!!!!! Kim <3

Hugs to you, Lea. Sending you all of my love.

Here I am. I slipped right into my old ways....the "Not So Beautiful Behaviors". No weight gain...didn't go off the deep end or anything. Just wasn't really logging much, and most importantly, let myself get to last on my priority list....as usual. I went to church and prayed on it, among other things. I am hoping that the…

Trying to get back on track and get it together. Really discouraged and annoyed at myself. Ugghhhhhhh

@woznube7 Good luck with the interviews. Getting closer to church always helps me. I am preparing for Lent, which is quickly approaching. Such a good time for mindfulness and contemplation. Also it helps to eat as if it were always the Lenten season - only what the body needs!!! There is a lesson in that for sure. And…

Same here. Superbowl did me in. Ughhhhhhh

TGIF! Date night tonight....cranky tween going to a sleepover. LOL Red wine will be hard to pass up. But one glass won't hurt. If there's ANYTHING I wish I could do....it would be to find the motivation to exercise!!!! UGHHHH I hope everyone has a good day today. Kim

Hey All: Report card night here. In my classroom....awaiting the 6pm - 8pm parent meetings. Everyone will be here to talk about their little cherubs. :smile: I had the chance to go to a local pizza, wings, burger establishment with the other teachers during our break. I would have loved it. I decided against it. Got myself…

Okay. I'm back in the New York Groove. Or NJ, whatever. Tomato, tomahto. Logging, weighing, meal planning. Feeling better already. Everyone have a good one! Kim

People can be careless and thoughtless at times. I found a meme this weekend that I love. It says: "Let whoever think whatever....just keep getting better!" Take care of you. You can lose more weight and start feeling wonderful a lot quicker than some people can learn to be tactful and intelligent. Some never will. I'm…
