Hey folks, So I've just written all of this on my new blog BECAUSE, that's how I feel I want to be accountable this go around. Check it out http://paleoemotion.blogspot.ca/2016/01/day-1-new-year-new-me.html Here's the synopsis of my goals..... back and holding my Druid friends accountable. Attainable Goals for January 4-31: - Eat only Paleo - Alcohol free - Go to the gym to run the C210K program three times per week. If I am unable to make one, I must walk for 30 minutes outside - Will keep a detailed food and exercise log book If anyone has blog tips or tricks, please share - if this is how I'm going to be accountable I also want to be the best at it. Cheers S

I can relate more than I want to be able to. I find that working out actually makes me feel better. Something about the endorphins making you forget about the hormones. Push yourself to get out there and then snack if you still want to. As for Netflix, who doesn't love that shit - put it on while you're working out if possible. Bang, you get everything in one quick sitting. Good luck!

Way to go! I'm growing out for my third donation. Such a great thing to do - this just made me smile

What made me smile yesterday? I'm a fair and freckled ginger. As I walked into the lunchroom @ work a co-worker said I was TAN. Now, this may not seem important to some, but I'm 28 years old and TAN is RARELY an adjective used to describe me. Yay for being active and outdoors this summer.

"Success does not come in dramatic twirls and grand flourishes; it is born of daily, determined application. Even creative success. Genius is less about ‘a-ha’ breakthrough moments, and more a willingness to persevere, to put on the shoes and get out into the cold, or to sit before the keyboard and start pounding something out." -Haruki Murakami LOVE THIS - http://www.sunwords.com/2011/08/21/success-comes-from-daily-habits-not-natural-talent/

You've got your head on straight this time, lady. You go for it and if you fall, get back up again. There are a ton of people on here in your situation - myself included. You know what? We're still here and we're still trying. Screw the man if they judge - you're the only person who can judge yourself and that judgement cannot be influenced by what you believe others think of you.

OMG - this just made my day. So glad the office is almost empty because I was audibly laughing and I think there may have been some snort action. I think every one of those thoughts have gone through my head.

Hi Folks- I know you're all wondering how my vacation went --- well, fantastic. I didn't make good eating decisions but I walked that off. I gained 2lbs on a 10 day vacation where I'm fairly sure I didn't go more than 25 minutes without eating. To celebrate - enjoy this video that I found and think is more motivating than any other video I've watched recently - #THISGIRLCAN https://youtu.be/aN7lt0CYwHg Love you NF famjam

Well, I haven't taken on the physical meditation portion of the task BUT my friend is a yoga instructor and has been writing an e-book for yoga and weight loss, including sections on meditation and self-love and I've been proofing it for him. I think that's a win, educating myself about meditation. Yeah, I know, I need to step up and actually try it, but it hasn't happened. I did download Headspace, so that's another step - now just the JUMP! I'm down 2-4lbs so far - I'm waivering between 193-195. I head on vacation tomorrow so it will be a challenge to eat as well as I should, but it's all about moderation and wise choices. Thanks for following up spookyfoot, I love that you and other NF members remind me (Gently) to come back and be accountable <3 NF love.

Day three kicked my ass! I was craving sweets so I tried to make a better option with nutella, rice cakes, and banana. When I got home, I had a few beers - a few being five Those five beers exactly put me over my calories for the day. Alright, not horrible, but it's DAY THREE. Getting back on the horse this morning.
