Haven't been here in quite a while. Work's been wicked busy and the last thing I've had time for is counting calories. But I will say that the time I spent on here since January taught me how to eat better, which was one of my goals. The other, moving more, well...eh. Hard to do that when you a) hate exercise, b) hate sweat, and c) have roots growing from your butt to the office chair.
That being said, I haven't gained a single pound. I haven't really denied myself anything, either. It's been more of an unconscious portion control issue. I'm better at eating until I'm satiated and then stopping. I don't have that horrible overfull feeling anymore! Yay! Also, taking a page from Portia Degeneres, food's lost its power over me because I grant myself permission to be exactly as I am, and to eat however much I want of whatever I want.
So, ladies & gents, that's about it. See you again in the Spring when work (hopefully) lets up a bit!

Found this in my f.S. travels...Thought you may like it.
FS Community, you need to read this for ENCOURAGEMENT.
YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM A GOOSE
Milton Olson has studied Canada geese and compiled these lessons:
1. Geese fly in a V formation for greater range of the entire flock. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird following. This adds seventy-one percent to their flying range than if one bird was flying alone. LESSON: People who share a sense of common direction and community get where they are going quicker and easier.
2. When the goose falls out of formation it feels the resistance of flying alone and quickly gets back into formation. LESSON: Stay in the the company with those headed in the direction you want to go.
3. When the lead goose gets tired another goose takes the point position. LESSON: It pays to take turns doing hard tasks and sharing leadership. (For us at FS, everyone should pitch in and offer encouragement and support, not solely relying on the same ppl to do it for the masses. Don't be a sponge and soak it all up - give some back, too. smile)
4. The geese in formation honk to encouarge the lead goose. LESSON: Be sure your honking is helpful.
5. When a goose gets sick or wounded two geese fall out of formation and follow it to the ground and protect it. They stay until their companion dies or is able to fly again and then launch out to catch up with the flock. LESSON: Stand by each other in difficult times.
I thought this was such a blessing and wanted to share. I've heard it said "There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. ~ John A Holmer" That's the kind of person I want to be in life...to everyone in my sphere of influence, including my cyber buddies. I'm HONKING for YOU today!
