    Amazing August - W.I.S.H. Goals

    Hi All! I'm back from my work trip and had a lovely time eating good southern food! The scale wasn't happy but it wasn't too bad. I am up about 2 lbs. For 5 days of BBQ and fried chicken and biscuits and desserts-- I'll take it. I also realized that I have turned a real corner. I...

    Amazing August - W.I.S.H. Goals

    Happy Monday, all! It's one of those Mondays that has me dragging, but the good news is I am all caught up with work in preparation for being out of town from Wednesday on so I have a little time to be on the Dis! I'm a bit down because on Friday at the gym, I injured my shoulder lifting...

    Amazing August - W.I.S.H. Goals

    Hi Everyone! I'm late to the party this month, but have been following along. I'm still on my maintenance/loose maybe just a few more pounds journey... and definitely looking to loose a few pounds as the scale has been creeping up these past few weeks. Now I am starting to understand the...

    W.I.S.H - A July to Remember

    Oh man! I have been missing some wonderful questions!!! Sorry I have been MIA-- but for good reasons (if not healthy). Business has been great this month which is wonderful in and of itself. Then I also completely remodeled both mine and DH's office. And I LOVE it! I am so happy to be at...

    W.I.S.H - A July to Remember

    Thank you, @Oneanne for hosting! I really like these two questions. These are the basics that I think keep me grounded in being realistic about what I want to do versus what I will actually do Haha! Will Not Do/Will Not Give Up: 1- I will not run. It hurts my hip and I don't like it...

    Jeez! How is it Thursday already!? Let's see -- belated woohoo: the stars aligned last night and I was able to squeeze in a full moon singing bowl meditation that I wasn't planning on. It was sooo lovely and the teacher poked a nerve that probably needed to be poked-- which led to a little...

    We didn't experience a whole lot before the afternoon thunderstorm rolled in. We were there for a few hours though and rode the big water coaster which is really neat and uses mag lev so you actually accelerate uphill. Then we also did the big drop slides and the wave pool. I daresay they...

    Happy Monday All! We got back from Orlando last night -- what a fun trip! We did Volcano Bay and a little Harry Potter stuff at IOA, and most of the time was spent with family. It was so nice to get away. I ate mindfully but not restrictive and my body isn't exactly thrilled. Tell you...

    Happy Belated Birthday, @Oneanne !!!!! Belated woohoo: We leave for Orlando today to join up with my family! We will be seeing Incredibles 2 tomorrow morning at Disney Springs then going to The Void-- which I just heard about but apparently is some awesome virtual reality Star Wars thing...

    Oh no! I hope what I was saying wasn't offensive to anyone. I was just talking about my frame of mind in my journey. What works for some doesn't work for all. But I will 100% agree that what you commit to should be sustainable, and I 100% agree that the pace or size of step doesn't matter --...

    I couldn't really think of anything too woohoo-ey yesterday. Still digging deep but woohoo for a fun weekend ahead! I'm going to a friend's birthday party (and his family always cooks great food! Haha!) on Saturday, and then getting together with another group of friends to watch the Tony's on...

    We're half way there - JUNE WISH month of motivation

    The one thing that I have noticed as a habit is how I grocery shop now. It feels so weird to shop the aisles. My habit now is just shopping the perimeter for fresh stuff and only venturing down the aisles to the processed stuff for DH's special requests and dried spices -- and occasionally...

    Late to the party this month. But I want to challenge myself to really stay on track this month. Last month got away from me-- a few trips, our anniversary, busy busy at work, and I quit posting. I want to get back at it though because it keeps me focused. Plus, I love reading about what...

    APRIL WISH Goals - Monthly Thread

    I have never heard it call this before but it's truly really fitting. My cousin left her home and life in Hawaii to take come home to care of her mom who had it, and I remember her telling me she was so shocked and unprepared for what she was signing up for. Such an awful disease! :grouphug...

    I've been pretty busy lately-- but it's been good busy. I have at least been reading along the past few days though to keep up. Yesterday's question was great! It really got me thinking about what are joy foods and how they have changed or not changed in some cases. I used to think buffalo...

    Popping in to answer yesterday's question and evaluate this week! DH was a very negative impact for a while. In fact, he likes to credit himself with a fair amount of my weight gain. LOL! I don't give him all the credit though. I could have had self control, but bless his heart he loved...

    APRIL WISH Goals - Monthly Thread

    Tuesday QOTD: I know I am getting off track when I start getting lazy with my planning and making excuses for myself. Now, I can't say I'm very good at pulling myself out of that, but I do know that's my pattern. I tend to get into that pattern when I am trying to incorporate fun foods into...

    This quote changed how I viewed my whole weight loss journey. Before I was trying to get "everything right"... and failing miserably at it. Once I decided to just be better today than I was yesterday in whatever teeny tiny way it was, things changed for me. This week is a week I need to be...

    APRIL WISH Goals - Monthly Thread

    Hi all! I am in for this month as well! I'm Patricia, 29, living a few hours south of WDW. I am so close to my goal I can smell it, but these last pounds are a bit stubborn. I am also trying to not be crazy strict with my lifestyle and eating as I creep down to goal so that I am not going to...
