Boo-- I was doing pretty well and then I let my mother's 2-week visit derail me.
March goal -- waiting to see how much of this is water weight -- maybe 130, maybe <130.

Thanks for starting the thread, Alexis. Love the set-up:
Set your goals, track your weight, track your exercise, or just post in for daily accountability!
Goals: Lose two pounds. Exercise each day, starting on Monday, until I lose a half-pound for the week. Get a yoga picture book, and familiarize myself with new poses. Take vitamins five days a week, marking the calendar.
Exercise for today: Jogged/walked for 1 hour, with 1/2 hour warm-up/cool down, and did yoga.
Weight: Official last day of Feb weigh-in: 111.4
3/1/15 - 117; 3/2 - 116.6
Making the goals is half the battle! I just made that up, but it may be true. Good luck and God bless, everybody!

Got in 25 minutes of running today, plus housework- today is vacuuming the downstairs.
I have plans to make zucchini chips later and last night, I got to eat my fresh green beans (yum!)
Still working to finish SB Phase 1; there's a lot of temptation and it's frustrating because my mother-in-law brought home more cookies last night.

CrunchyMama - Way to go! And your plan sounds good. Do you mind sharing what South Beach entails, if you feel like it and have time?
Good going on the exercise! And zucchini chips sound SO good!
TheSame7lbs - So good to see you! Your name reminds me of something I shared yesterday - that I've lost the same forty pounds more than once.
Jen - I have the same scale situation - one weighs higher than the other. But the difference between the two is not always consistent. Sometimes they're even the same! Truth be told, on official weigh-in days, I will take the better of the two, if I even bother to check the higher one. But they are next to each other, and, IIRC, yours are in two completely different locations...
Kifli - I love your goal, maybe just because I love low goals, in general. Lol, that sounds a little funny, doesn't it? But I get more success that way, personally, and success sets one up for more success! Or, as a page from an old Spongebob calendar on my office wall says "I am confident in my abilities to successfully succeed"!
Alexis - You're on a downward spiral - in a good way!
Wedeburn - You're really lost a lot! Glad to hear you're getting the good stuff - veggies, protein, etc. - in your approach. I think those help us remain level in the face of temptation.

I am waxing a little philosophical this morning.
It's the day-to-day that makes the difference, imo. I'm not the first one who noticed this, obviously. But it pops into my mind from time to time.
It's good to look forward, and plan for a positive future. But's it's in the nitty-gritty, slogging-through-the-trenches, "What will I do today? Tonight? Right now?" that our goals are brought to fruition.
Looking toward the future helps a lot when one thinks to "How will I feel tomorrow if I do/eat/say this right now?" How I deal with today/right now has a lot to do with how I will feel tomorrow and on down the line.
In March, I want to try and do right now what's best for myself and others in the long run. How can I be both happy now and in the long run?

Hungerwerks, this may be my new mantra: How can I be both happy now and in the long run? I struggle with bingeing (binging?) or what I think of as compulsive overeating. This little sentence kind of captures the friction between what I want NOW and what I want in the future.

So glad you like it! I struggle with my "off" switch, too. It kind of reminds me of the situation with, say, alcoholics that just can't ever drink again. But we HAVE to be around food and eat food. Thus the necessity for approaches that can help us know when to say "no."
But it's not always "no." We, or I, at least, get SO hungry, that we need to eat or drink something, even if it's not pre-planned. With the "long run" philosophy, we can choose foods or drinks - or both! - that we can nosh, nibble, or even scarf on that will not "break the bank," as it were.
It's our choice, and I think that's delicious. It's empowering, and that, too, will help us in the long run.
