FEBRUARY 2021 Start: 271.8 lbs Sunday 2/7 - 262.2 Sunday 2/14 Sunday 2/21 Sunday 2/28 February stats: -9.6 lb -3.5% body weight Favorite Keto Meal this week: Chicken brussel sprouts carbonara

February 6th 1- Log everything ✔️ 2- Stick to my meal plan ✔️ 3- 8,500 steps each day ❌ 4- Meditate before bed to help relieve stress/sleep better ✔️ I was feeling much better yesterday! The highlight of my day was finishing up a few cross-stitch projects I had been working on. More snow is expected for today so I will…

February 5th 1- Log everything ✔️ 2- Stick to my meal plan ❌ 3- 8,500 steps each day ❌ 4- Meditate before bed to help relieve stress/sleep better ❌ Yesterday was a rough day, both physically and mentally. Today is a new day though, and I am moving forward!

What kind of protein wraps did you use? I love enchiladas SO much! Yeah, stay strong and don't blow off making healthy decisions because you had a rough day. Maybe conciously choose a treat you can work into you calories/macros?

@tcunbeliever That sounds like good and concious choices to me! Progress not perfection. And I hope the Whiskey helped!

@Ringbearer2 Not as of yet. I have some bone broth recipes I would like to try out, but haven't had the time. I pick up the 4 cup pourable container from the grocery.

February 4th 1- Log everything ✔️ 2- Stick to my meal plan ✔️ 3- 8,500 steps each day ✔️ 4- Meditate before bed to help relieve stress/sleep better ✔️ I didn't feel like eating seperately from my family tonight. I had planned crab salad on bibb lettuce for my dinner, and mushroom lasagna for the family, but decided to make…

@Ringbearer2 When I need some extra protein I drink low sodium chicken bone broth, warmed in a mug via the microwave with a sprinkle of seasoning salt. 10 grams of protein per cup, and it's fairly tasty. Add a skant teaspoon of butter before you microwave, and vigorously stir when it comes out, if you want more fat.

Results for 2/3 1- Log everything ☑️ 2- Stick to my meal plan ☑️ 3- 8,500 steps each day ☑️ 4- Meditate before bed to help relieve stress/sleep better ☑️ Today I even got myself out of the house to play in the snow with my middle little (4.5), while my youngest (2) was napping and my oldest (12) kept an eye on him. It's…

I have issues with SAD too. I live in New England, so it gets cold, but not as low as where you are. Something that has helped me a lot is keeping the heat set lower, dressing a hit more warmly, and making sure all the curtains are drawn letting in as much sunlight ad possible. It's definitely a balance between the heating…

My goals for February are: 1- Log everything 2- Stick to my meal plan 3- 8,500 steps each day 4- Meditate before bed to help relieve stress/sleep better Both yesterday and today, I achieved all four goals!

This is such a great idea for mental health, and contentment with your environment! I will have to keep this goal in mind!!

FEBRUARY 2021 Start: 271.8 lbs Sunday 2/7 Sunday 2/14 Sunday 2/21 Sunday 2/28 I have been working on reducing my carbs for a while now, and not seeing the results I want. So, for February I am committed to making Keto work for me, and also averaging 8,500 steps per day.

I'm 5'9 and 200 currently, so almost exactly like you! I've already lost 115 lbs, and am also working to lose 40 more. I am hoping by my birthday/the end of the year.

My rewards are all things that will keep me striving towards a healthier lifestyle. At 10% loss I will take a healthy cooking class, at 20% I will get a rebounder, at 25% I am going to go Zip lining or to an aerial adventure course. Some other smaller ones are getting a mandolin slicer, a subscription to a healthy living…

@jcavanna2 Thank you for the suggestions. The Inspire line and Syntrax both have artificial sweeteners. I haven't checked into Eat the Bear, Chike, or Click, though I will. For me even a fairly small amount of artificial sweetener will trigger a fairly debilitating migraine complete with loss of peripheral vision, aura,…

Good afternoon everyone! I am very newly post op, having just had my sleeve done Wednesday 2/08. I am trying hard to get all 60 g of protein that the nutritionist wants me to get in, since I can't have artificial sweeteners, and am not in love with the few protein shakes I can safely consume, but I am working on it! I know…

I must be in the minority here, because while I enjoyed the movie. I didn't think it was amazing. It felt like an updated (with special effects, etc.) version of the first movie. The constant, written for the audience not the perpetuation of the plot, inside joke got to be annoying. Yes they had both a woman and a black…

I enjoyed it but I definitely agree that I prefer the modern setting and characters. I wasn't in love like I usually am with Sherlock. The tie in is what I liked most about it. They had their fun, and did a special, but they didn't just leave it there, which I appreciated.

I am currently watching it, and oh my goodness... Mycroft... I can't handle this...

I'm also starting with slim fast. I would love to connect so we can motivate each other!

Even though the water was chilly at the outdoor pool at our apartment (I live in New England), I went swimming this evening. Fun family time + Exercise = Total Win!

Hi! I'm Cyn. I too am a mom, and my love bug is 6 1/2. She is my absolute world! Like everyone else I'm super busy. Full time job, wife, mother, friend, Girl Scout leader. I am super geeky. I love gaming (board, and rpg, with some video), Dr. Who, Sci Fi, and reading. I am also crafty, and love to quilt, cross-stitch, make…

I woke up early and worked out yesterday. I woke up not feeling well today, so didn't work out this morning, but will be hitting the gym at work on lunch! :smile:

I'm interested in challenges. I'm currently trying to make sure I get in more water, as well as 3 servings of fruit, and at least 3 servings of vegetables each day. I would be interested in a work out challenge if one was offered too.

I have a long way to go, but smaller - more easily attainable goals are the way to get there! We can do this ladies! :-)

I am going!! I can't wait! Only 36 more days!! My husband and I will be going for all 4 days, getting into Indy on Wednesday night, so we are ready for gaming Thursday morning!! I'm sad though, as 'Hansel & Gretel & The Sugar Shack That Cthulhu Built' (Cthulhu Dark, 1st Edition) and ' Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga' (Dungeons &…

I saw Aquariums, and immediately thought the kind you go and visit. :-) And the movie Closer - the title of a book that was written in it, being 'The Aquarium'.

Hi! I'm Cyn, and I am super nerdy - and love every minute of it. I am HARDCORE into board games - my husband even proposed with the card game Innovation, since it is my absolute favorite! I love to play tabletop, though I don't get the chance nearly as often as I like (mainly at GenCon these days, due to scheduling). I am…
