@Coralisara9089 Welcome! I’m new too! Here’s to the journey ahead! 🙌🏾

Just saw this video on Self Sabotage and I had to share. Thanks in advance for helping to raise each others’ “internal temperature”. https://youtu.be/xFaw6IOJPns?si=LiqAPCakSKV-AUUt

Thanks for the warm welcome! @jugar Bridget here! A Christian 40 something married mom of 2 school aged boys living in the States. A Michigander in the house!

@itladyee I would like to send you a friend request, but having a hard time doing so. Would you mind sending me one?

Hey Fam, It’s a “Question of the Day” kinda day. Question: What small, consistent action that you are currently doing (or would like to start) today that your FUTURE SELF would thank you for?

Looks good to me @LazyBlondeChef

I married into a tradition called “Fam Jam” that takes place each year the Sunday before Memorial Day. It coincides with the celebration of the hostess’ wedding anniversary and other family members’ birthdays. But I work on Sunday mornings and on Monday—me my four, no more—we just relax.

I struggle with eating my meals distraction free and notice that I try to multitask with phone or computer. To practice eating more mindfully, for one meal, I set a 20 minute timer on my watch, and look at my food notice the taste, textures, smells and try to count chews a minimum of 20 times with each bite. I try to catch…

3 yeses! To manage stress, I go for walks/workout and go to sleep and I try to plan my schedule better? I'm learning I need to break down task instead of trying to be perfect and "hit the bull's eye"--just "hit the target" and move in the right direction of my goal/project.

Claiming my 3 yeses. It’s gonna be an active day with washing clothes and going for a walk. Tracking food—and doing better about water intake. Hope to keep it up.

@lesdarts180 thanks for the unique opener I’ll have to say I miss having to homeschooling—it was a gift to spend time with the kids. Honestly I wish I can do it again —I just went to a homeschoolers high school graduation where one student was graduating with 30 college credit hours under his belt. Both my kids are in…

Three yeses—tracked, was way under cal, and I was physically active for at least 20 mins doing odds and ends, bosu throughout it the day.

@jamcnewman thanks for sharing What stuck out for me Be mindful of your eating habits Because I’m doing a mindfulness guided program through Fitbit and l find it hard to eat without screens/my phone. So excited to challenge myself in that way as well as listen to hunger cues/body. Cook more often—something I don’t do and…

🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾Today Sleep hygiene is something I work towards but is elusive. I avoid alcohol before bed—it effects quality of Sleep And make an effort to avoid caffeine 10hr before bedtime/ Definitely by noon. (So before I have a coffee/latte —I think twice. But caffeine is not really apart of my daily lifestyle and I aim for…

Oh—I gotta work on tracking my water intake. I worked out and believe I was under budget for the 18th—I’m doing much better tracking that’s my issue and I’m pleased with the progress I’m making. I’m headed in the right direction. That’s all that matters.

@donna25trinity thanks for the opener Sugar is kinda an issue for me 1) Logging/tracking my food helps me pump the breaks 2) Sugar substitutes like stevia extract (630 servings a bottle) from Trader Joe’s is something I add for certain things things like smoothies instead of agave 3) Trying to make my “sugar” count when I…

Non Scale Victory (I missed the 15th/this happened 5/17) —Got ready to get in line at the Ikea bistro— they have chocolate chip cookies and cheap yogurt cones. I walked towards it. Contemplated the 2 for $2 cookie sign. Briefly imagined the impact, energy and sensations in my body as a result eating the cookie and I said…

@BMcC9 yours is a good one! @jamcnewman yours rocked too! I can’t think of a song and typically don’t have memes 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ll ask my husband. Haven’t worked out yet. So I guess I’ll hop to that But I have been tracking for the most part and I’ll be under.

10 min kettlebell workout—I was proud of. I was over but logged food. Working on capturing every “BLT” (bite lick taste) Also working on fasting zone/not eating too late (within 2 hrs before bed) and not having caffeine 12hr before bed time. Sleep hygiene has been a little wack so brushing over my habits and diet might be…

Wishing you luck. I feel your pain. Going through a similar situation with the eating and realization with the scale. Be encouraged. The UAC always keeps the light on for you.

Keep showing up. You're doing great in that regards. It's not a small feat. Trust me.
