Good going, folks!! Just a reminder, from one of the very first of these threads:

Please post your fitness/letting go of weight goals, as you meet them by the day/week/monthly. Also, feel free to post your goals in your first posting. I like that we've mixed in the encouragement/chatting, but I think it is good to keep focussed, too.

If you have already met your goals, maintaining them is important, too, but may only need to be noted weekly so as not to discourage others who are still struggling.

The scale has been firmly stuck at 201 for - what? - a couple weeks now.

I remind myself that it is a plateau, we hit them periodically, and if I persevere it WILL go down again.

Two bags of books to go to the used book store and see what they will take. The rest I leave for a charity that picks them up there.

This is part of streamlining the house so I can travel light.

2 mile walk to the sports centre this morning, 1 hours high intensity step aerobics class followed by a very brosk 2 mile walk home as it was snowing!

Now we have a Wii Fit and balance board, I suspect my activity levels in the house will increase... hopefully that will get me over that 15stone hurdle I've been missing since November... now I smell pasta in carbonara sauce... the accounting shall begin tomorrow... :D

Hey Kat!

   I've not been posting lately but have been up to lots of yoga and more so, physical work, getting the house ready for our adoption. This month I hope to get back to my more regular routine and also take a closer look at my points. I was doing Core so this switch to points is taking some time and really, I need to pay more attention to it. Today I am taking care of my body and my mom's too...giving us a little extra love by going out for a spa day....massages, a little wine, manicures...ah yes!! I've never been to something like this before and am looking forward to it!

Happy February my Friends!

Michelle

Well, that's what it said on Wiki and a few other sites about the origin of "February." The original term meant "purification" and that's kind of what we've all been doing. It is also the month of Love what with St. Valentine's day and all, so our decluttering can be a good way of showing ourselves love and those around us, eh? In that vein:

I am taking a pledge to improve my adherence to points and keep up the exercise I have been getting because I really do love myself and feel I am worth it.

When I am counselling someone through my metaphysical work, I often ask them to look in a mirror and speak love to themselves. It is surprising how difficult this can be, esp. for women. When we value ourselves, we may find it easier. This month, I will do some "mirror-work."

Thanks, my friends. Can you believe we've been at this for a year now!? Yea, for us!!
