Welp, I had a busy week, with end of semesters and hosting two parties. Low on exercise and high on aa bunch of the wrong foods for me. Welp. Back to work! Hurray for having a group that's here for the long haul. (Maybe some is salt? Whatever!) Monday Weigh-in @Katmary71 AustinRuadhain SW 223.1 PW: 208.3 CW: 212.1 Today…

I apologize for keeping you waiting! It has been a crazy day, and I was determined to get this to you today! Monday Weigh-in AustinRuadhain SW 223.1 PW: 209.2 CW: 208.3

Hi there! I have to not fall behind. It's fun and easy enough to read posts if I read them 1-2 times a day, but if I get behind, I get lost. All this to say, I have not yet found the post where @trooworld talked about Dr Fuhrman?! I'd be excited for any company on that journey. Dr. F's plan is the one that works well for…

Monday Weigh-In Monday Weigh-in AustinRuadhain SW 223.1 PW: 209.9 CW: 209.2 @vegan4lyfe2012 - Oh, I am so, so sorry. Work and family both this week. I am afraid to ask if your coworker apologized. Ugh. You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad Hunter's getting out of a bad situation, but that all…

Monday Weigh-in AustinRuadhain SW 223.1 PW: 210.7 CW: 209.6 :) I am looking at how to add to the momentum this month.

Welcome @reshii_devi! I hope this group is helpful for you!

Thursday Ice breaker question What is a food combination people eat or drink that you just can’t get behind? (For example, dipping french fries in Frosties.) I had to go look up what on earth Frosties was, in this context. Imagine my surprise! Anything involving mayonnaise (or the kind of white "salad dressing" that comes…

What a great article! I especially appreciate that last step, Look for Trends: "After you’ve been tracking for at least two weeks, go back and look at your data. Can you find any trends?" @AmbersWay - I am sending you all the best in your goals of logging calories, and fighting the carb cravings. Maybe the food logging…

@Katmary71 - I hope you are feeling better by the time you read this. @@ninyagwa - Sending you sympathetic thoughts regarding the challenges of being a mom and still taking care of yourself. @laurelfit57 - Oh, my, Ty looks adorable on the stairs! Those eyes! That pink puppy tongue! Wednesday Checkin 🟢 Tiny Habit: Kitchen…

@Jactop - Hurray for staying level this week! @Veta2018 - I am so glad you found Benny! It was nice that your husband went to have the *(hard?) conversation with the girl planning to keep him. Did you get in your workout this morning? A big thank you for your comment about making salads fun! I am inspired. Yes, I need to…

Tuesday Plan 🟢 Tiny Habit: Kitchen pushup 🟢 Floors: 5 🟡 Eat a salad & steamed greens - compromised on a vegetable smoothie, as it was quick 🟢 Outdoor walk (with husband? even a black walk would be a win on Tuesday) 🟢 Track all my food and check out at day's end 🟢 Think about a new Tiny Habit to focus on - I picked chair…

Monday: 🟢 Tiny Habit: Kitchen pushup I did 3! 🟢 Floors: I hit my 5! 🟢 Eat a salad! 🟢 Eat steamed greens 🟡 45 minutes exercise - I got in some movement, but won't do the 45 min. Instead, I prepped for tomorrow and am going to get some sleep. If all goes well, I will get in a longer session tomorrow. 🟢 Track all my food and…

@Katmary71 A spring challenge would be fun. Something about spring cleaning and getting outdoors? Hmm! :) And would a Tiny Habits thing be fun at some point? I have been doing that. Maybe after the spring thing? WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LOVE NOW THAT YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED YOU'D LIKE IN THE FUTURE? Salads! Today, I had…

Monday Weigh-in AustinRuadhain SW 223.1 PW: 209.7 CW: 210.6 :( I am sorry to have let the team down this week. Last week (spring break stuff) got away from me. Ah, well, Back at it! With @19shmoo69's great post right above me, here I am posting an in-the-red weigh-in. As he says, this is a long game! On the plus side, I…

Monday Weigh-in AustinRuadhain SW 223.1 PW: 211.4 CW: 209.7 A big hurray to having done damage control this week. We ate out twice, and I was definitely making the best of things, rather than eating optimally.

Spring break has meant spending time with my son this week -- woohoo! Tonight, we have dinner with him and his girlfriend, then he's back to school and life here gets back to normal. :-( Saturday Plan ⚪ Food on plan: vegetables & fruits ⚪ GtG Pushups: Goal for today is 5 sets (12+) - I have done 3 so far ⚪ Steps: 6,000 ⚪…

@TeresaW2024: Yes to the time change disorientation! It's always odd. @Katmary71 - The juice spill sounds maddening. You acted fast, so hopefully the white snowflake sheets will be fine. I hope the rest is helping and that you are starting to feel a bit better. @laurelfit57 - Hurray to the writing everything down!…

Monday Weigh-In AustinRuadhain SW 223.1 PW:213.4 CW: 211.4 O am going to work really gard this week, and hope to change that second digit soon!

Happy Saturday! I am going to check in really quick before I head out to see my kiddo. He is off at college, but near enough we can visit, and we are going to get together this afternoon. So I will come back later to do more catch-up. Saturday Plan ⚪ Food on plan: vegetables (big steamed greens, big salad), limited fruits…

@laurelfit57 "our pets do keep us entertained don't they?" Oh, my, yes! I am making something with string this evening (a gadget for middle schoolers to experiment with the Doppler effect, of all things). It involves a string, and I am so delighting my kitten! @KatMary71 - Ha! You are so perceptive. I do do well when I am…

@txcritter69 - Thank you! Enjoy your trip. Inks Lake State Park is such a nice place! And I love that you may take the scale!

Hello, all! @19shmoo69 - Yes, protein bars are a mixed bag! I don't normally eat them except as a very occasional treat, and am back to whole foods now the trip is done. I did read the label carefully and chose carefully. @AmbersWay - I am glad you like the chart! Colored circles work really well for me. @micaroo4 - Hurray…

How Saturday Went I was travelling, so I was all about damage control. My biggest victory was going up and down the hotel stairs to get in steps and exercise. I ate a little off plan, but nothing disastrous. I did still fit in fruit and veggies. I am home and back at it. Sunday Plan ⚪ Food on plan: vegetables & fruits ⚪…

Hi there! I think I caught up on the reading. Hopefully I didn't lose any notes as I went. It was great catching up on this group's checkins. It's so inspiring! @Jactop - 🥳 Welcome back! @Katmary71 - Hurray for all the great work rehabilitating your gums! That is wonderful! And good for you for getting a good new…

Hello, Austin here. What @TeresaW2024 said applies to me as well! I was once a long-time member, but I let life get in my way. I dropped out and, in the process, gained some of my lost weight back. And all there is to do is -- get back to work! So here I am! This is month 2 of that renewed focus, and I am seeing…

@ninyagwa - Welcome to Slimpossibles! I hope this group is a great source of support and structure for you! Ice Breaker Thursday Coffee, Tea or.........? All of the above! I like both coffee and tea. For me, coffee in the morning and herbal tea the rest of the day. I have a stack of tea boxes in my pantry, including…

@trooworld - Thanks for the shoutout! I hope you are feeling better by the time you read this. I so, so get being overwhelmed by too long a list. You are doing so, so much. @Katmary71 - Oh, yay! The BeeGees video looks like great fun. I just made myself a scoreboard for Self Care Bingo. Woohoo! The charity work sounds…
