My motto of the week is “break the spell”. Doomscrolling, break the spell. Reaching for wine in a stressful life, reaching for the Halloween candy at 3pm (and again after dinner). Trying to refocus, reconnect with me and break the spell of what’s not serving me well. Bummed the scale isn’t moving fast but my body feels good.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! It’s a long one for me so need to focus in on nutrition. They’ll be plenty of moving my body.

Dinner and done. No wine tonight, going to get in bed with my book and get up early for a busy day tomorrow. It’s not even 7:30 but I don’t care. Hope the scale starts moving. Have to keep a positive mindset and feel good about what I’m doing well.

Another day of no alcohol and great sleep, but the scale went up a pound when I don’t really have time for that! Hopeful it’s from sore muscles and too much salt. The weekend is very busy so I need to plan, plan, plan. Plus a little overnight get away with at least 2 meals out so again, need to plan ahead. 🙏

Had a reminder how much alcohol consumption and sleep effect my goals. I’ve been drinking too often. Enough that I looked back and can see my poor sleep for the last few weeks (I wear a garmin watch). Last night I finally broke the cycle and slept amazing. Woke up feeling refreshed, a little down on the scale (despite a salty dinner) and feeling ready to really focus in on taking care of my body. I didn’t realize how much stress I’ve been carrying but it’s time to let it go and work on it in real ways, not through wine.

Went back to the gym, Gained 3-4 lbs

I thought this might be a good group to ask. Thoughts on shakti mats? Any one have one? Opinion either way?
Thanks 😊

I have severe agoraphobia, and was housebound for 6 years. It's taken me another 5 years to build up to being comfortable outside of my home building. I still struggle to go more than two streets away from home without panic attacks. I've set a goal to walk 5 miles OUTSIDE every week. I have a treadmill and cross trainer in my flat, but I'm trying hard to get better at being out. Also, anybody know any beginners weights YouTube channels? I love aerobics and walking workouts, but have a barbell just sitting doing nothing so figured nows a great time to get started with it!

Well, yesterday was day 1 and it started well, had dinner plans with the girls and planned my meal in advance. They are non drinkers so alcohol free, usually makes for better choices. My ex fiancé was at the restaurant 😬, made my evening much more tense and when I got home I drank too much wine and hit the Halloween candy. Tired this morning from too much sugar at bedtime but feeling motivated to eat well and move my body today.

Good morning!! First time i have done ANYTHING like this. Im not one to post or share. Stepping out of my comfort zone here. Here's to a healthy day!🙌
