Having today off, my daughter and I walked nearly 3.5 miles. She rode her bike for most of the way until she decided to walk and I pushed the bike. I am thankful for these little moments and the cooler weather today. Now to do some strength training.

Hi Everyone!

You are almost there! I know there have been ups, and downs, good days bad days! Big wins, small wins, but the way you should look at this is- it's all growth- and when you grow your learn. Use those insights to propel you forward toward an on going healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

What going to be your biggest focus for the next 3 days and for the remainder of September?

Last night I had my treat meal with pizza and a small amount of ice cream. I made sure to eat my veggies throughout the day. I made sure to drink plenty of water. I’m reasonably active throughout the day being a preschool teacher. I weighed in today and my weight stayed the same. I normally gain. I was happy to see the same numbers as yesterday. I have .7 pounds to my goal.

Remember that your palate is fully capable of changing according to the foods you choose to eat. Your cravings will noticeably subside, and foods you used to enjoy will soon lose their luster. Nothing is better than how the right foods make you feel - that feeling lasts and tells your brain to crave those foods instead. Veggies are by far the most satisfying thing for me to eat! I literally feel more alive during and long after!


What are your favorite veggies?? And what do you not crave anymore??
