Sometimes we need to tweak our healthy routines and take charge of moving forward even farther.  If something isn't working, we can change it.  It's great to get new ideas when we need a refresher for our routines.  We have the power to be our own leader.  The healthy lifestyle is an ongoing learning process where we change up or add new ideas as we go.  So, be a trendsetter, a leader, and take charge of your inner power.  Let's have a great week and if celebrating holidays next week, we've got the power to plan ahead and make them a healthy experience.

Remember those (4) S's for weighing:
♦ Same TIME of day   (on the)
♦ Same DAY each week (wearing the)
♦ Same CLOTHING (and using the)
♦ Same SCALE to Measure Yourself - Remember, sometimes the scale doesn't budge, but the waistline will.

Here's to a great week and a fresh outlook on being our best healthy.  Please share your stories about being your own leader, making those healthy changes.  Rock on, my friends!

It's been a good week. I'm 193, so I lost 3 lbs. Just been really religious with logging my food on MFP. It's the only way for me to keep myself accountable.

Hope everyone else has a good week also!

I'm up one this weigh in, back to 147. Getting into the habit of using MFP again should help. It's so easy to lose track and then chalk up a "little extra" to just that, not realizing the ultimate impact on the day's intake. Of course, weight fluctuation can happen for a lot of reasons. Staying on track and planning for results to show next weigh in.☺

Glad to see such overall great results this week!!

Welcome, tcamptin!! So glad you're here. Are you using some of the tools available? I use MyFitnessPal to track calories. If we keep up efforts on our schedules and goals, the habits do begin to form. If you fall off track, just jump right back in.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
