Koaladle Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 You know, if we let disillusion take over when we find ourselves backtracking, that only means that we'll have to recover more ground later on.

I would keep in touch with your doctor, and keep in mind that just because something is healthy doesn't mean it isn't a sugar bomb. Unhealthy foods may not spike the numbers the way some healthy foods do, but that doesn't mean that losing weight was a waste. <3 30 minutes ago, Strickland5 said: Goals : Minimize booze Workout consistently Work on list of SFO move items SFO? That means San Francisco airport in my head. O.o I am with you on working out consistently. I'll be doing my routine in the mornings, so I will check back here and stay accountable if that's encouraging for you. :-) I know that the scouts were always a small group, but without our more talkative members it sure feels lonely around here.
