Hi Callie, 

Friday's weigh in was 170.0

Am on track with my fueling and lean/green meal, water intake and reading.

Not sure why it went up, but it wasn't much.

Started going on walks.

Just checking in.

Exercise will cause a stop or slight weight gain. It is initial just stay consistent and you will see a gradual 

improvement.

I am beyond excited you are walking!!! That is a wonderful healthy choice. How do you feel when you 

accomplish the walks?

Don't let the scale be the only determinant of health. Measurements and how you feel emotionally and 

mentally are going to be great barometers too!

Congratulations!!

Wendy~

Noted. I was thinking for some reason, that we were supposed to start walking the second week. Maybe 

because it said Habit of Motion on the journal pages, but I guess that was even on week ones journal pages. 

I like to go for walks, it's just easy not to, i.e. the rain or hot weather. I feel relaxed after the walks. Not that I 

have a need to relax..lol

Am I supposed to be measuring once a week as well? 

I feel good. Week 2 was a little rough, craving wise, as my period ended (and for some reason I get crazy 

teary for a few days after) and I was craving red licorice and a coke and layered bean dip..hahaha.  I like 

bean dip on occasion, but I'm not sure where the licorice and coke thing came from. I don't ever eat those

 things, if even once a year. It's not an issue now, craving wise, and I'm glad to be aware of what my body

 may do next month.

My taste buds seem to be changing though. 

Things that I thought were really bland are actually starting to have quite a bit more flavor. :D

Wendy,
This is so great! I am so happy you are starting to feel those habits of health come through! You are an 

inspiration; so calm, honest, and with the ability to move forward!

Do you have a plan on how you will get through all the 4th of July festivities? Let me know if I can help!

Measuring is going to be very helpful when you hit plateaus. I had a client whose weight did not change for 4

 months but she lost 13 inches around her thighs during that time. So scale should not be your only

 measurement of success.

Keep at it! And have a wonderful holiday!

Am not concerned about the holidays. We've got 2 birthdays, 2 grad parties and so far so good.

I thought I sent this but It looks like I didn't. 

I'm doing well. Really getting use to the fool.

Whoop! Whoop! Are you willing to share these photos on the HEROES page? They would love to celebrate

 with you!

wendy~	6/17/17

Probably not quite ready to share. Thank you for asking. 

CS

No problem! You are doing amazing! I love hearing from you and you ask insightful and great questions! 

Keep at it! How do you plan to celebrate week one? It would be good to know!

wendy~	6/17/17

Thank You! I'm celebrating by being thankful for the opportunity that my mom has given me, with TSFL.

Great place to start! Water water water! Especially after taking your first fueling! If you feel the need to reach for

 food reach for the water instead! Let's get to the bottom of that emotional response you have to food! Ask yourself

 "do I actually need what I am craving? Or am I just caving into a habit I have created!" Stop. Challenge. Choose. 

And I am here! Call me if you need. I am so proud of you!

Wendy

LOL, I'm not really a craving person. I just don't eat. I realized my challenge is going to be remembering to eat, 

as that seems to be a big issue that I need to retrain my mind in. I can see how one meal a day is not reasonable 

or healthy. So, I've set a timer on my phone. I've been practicing with the timer, the past few days. 

It's amazing how much I don't think about giving my body fuel. But explains why I feel exhausted by 2/3 pm. 

I've already noticed these past few days, of just having a light snack every few hours, it has made me feel

 more energized into the evening. Particularly when I am usually exhausted by those times. :)

Monday March 5th, 2018

So I sit here this morning, thinking about what I need to do. The things that I need to do.

• Start rereading the Habits of Health book and actually do the workbook
• Read The Overweight Mind and journal my thoughts about each chapter, as I feel the need to
• Remember to take my monthly photo on Friday, as I don't think I have done that it about 2 months.
• Measure on Friday, when I weigh in, as I haven't done that in a while either.
• Remember to set my phone for my fuelings. (going to take a second and do that right now).
• Remember to drink my water
• Start Blogging what I am eating every day and how I am feeling right before I sit down to eat something. And what that "something" is.
• I'd also like to finish reading the book Savor, which means I need to get it from the library. But I will do that when I have finished The Overweight Mind book.

Also, I went and cleaned the offices today. That was some form of exercise. The movement was good anyway. I spent about an hour and 15 min cleaning.
