Rough morning with youngest having a meltdown at 5:10am😬 but I was able to bounce back and get to a Qi Gong class (2nd time ever). Felt more calm after completing. Typically, I would resort to emotional eating throughout the day but I believe the class helped. Pretracked some of today's meals. Listened to Half Size Me…

[quote="bisonpitcher Great straightforward plan! Thank you for sharing.

"pb1workouts- my mom is a type 1 and her blood sugars seem to stabilize within a good range as long as she has protein with every meal, snack & before bed. She also quit drinking alcohol which seemed to drive her to low blood sugar in the middle of the night. Best wishes!

IslandGal3-you look terrific. Please share what lifestyle changes you made, how you reached goal, what keeps you on track... I know all about those aches in your 40s lol. I'm hoping to post my own pics someday!

I've been a member of HSM for a few years now. I really like Heather's "no gimmicks" approach to weightloss, maintenance & healthy lifestyle. Her webinars are even better than her regular podcast interviews. They routinely close the membership but it opens up frequently.

@mytime6630 & @PackerFanInGB You both have some great plans ahead of you. Very inspiring! I took a break from tracking & MFP but continued to exercise. I know the food tracking is crucial and this group keeps me accountable so I need to keep posting. Today I will: Log into Happy Scale. Listen to a Half Size Me webinar.…

I grew up around women (aunts, mom & grandmothers) who were & are all avid letter writers. Wish I could pick it up because I know how good it feels to get a personal letter in the mail. As for the self care-I never struggled with this until my 40s. Now I'm 48 and I swear that some people are sizing me up b/c I look like…

Another week of not posting! Well, back on the horse as they say! Kids were off all last week & due to ice storms we couldn't drive to Ontario. Did 5x5 Stronglifts at gym yesterday and I'm much more at ease lifting now. Not as self conscious as previous weeks. I notice other lifters watching each other (probably for form).…
