December will be a tricky month for sure for eating at a deficit surrounded as I will be by treats and temptations and parties and meals out. I will certainly try to plan as many healthy meals as I can and not avoid the treats all together (because come on its the holidays !!) but try to regard them more as treats to have…

So end of month check in. How did I do? The pottery course is great. I am really enjoying the creative aspect and have met some lovely new people. It continues into December for three weeks so I will go with that and hope to take a beginning knitting class at the end of the month. The discovery mind goal was fun too. I…

Had an ok week this week. Did lose a pound but wasn't as diligent with less carb as I wanted to be. Goal for this week is get 40 minutes walk outside at 4 times this week. No alcohol. No added sugar. Try for two meals a day with a 6 hour window.

@FLMOM22 absolutely! it is Anastasia Murtagh 30 Day Arm Workout Challenge she switches is up on each Monday and recommends doing it 4 to 5 times a week. So tomorrow she will post a new one for week 2. Its only 5 minutes a day

Hello November! Age: 56 I would like to lose 50 pounds and I'm giving myself a year (actually 14 months) to do this. In the past I have set my goals too high too fast too strict and have inevitably failed to stay on track long term. This time I am taking a more gentle, gradual approach. I am adjusting daily calories up…

Mid month check in has me down 5 pounds. Woohoo!! continuing with early morning walks with a friend -a 30 to 40 minute zippy pace with some gentle hills. I find it so much easier to get up and go when I have a pal relying on me being there. so much easier not to ditch the walk if it's raining or if I don't feel like it…

I have had a good week so far. I have walked a bit everyday, anywhere from 4 to 10 km which I have done first thing in the morning to get my heart rate up a bit and to feel energized before coffee (which I did NOT think was possible!!!). I have stayed under my calorie goals mostly and enjoyed the foods I have eaten. I did…

I have committed to walking with a friend every morning early for just 30 minutes this week. we are on day 4 and I am loving that it is a quick, energizing, over and done with and a little boost of motivation for the day.

Hello August! I still haven't overcome the all or nothing approach to changing my daily habits for a more balanced way of eating and activity. I know this is basically step one for meaningful, lasting change but I always slide back into extremes. Extremes of restricted eating and obsessive calorie counting to extremes of…
