Where is everyone?!?! It's been so quiet in here lately! :(
- Just weighed out on two different kick starters. I win again!
My diet is off the rails due to a stressful week that involved birthdays, flagrant disobedience from a child, and a concussion—all involving the same kid. I was doing so well! How to ease myself back on the rails?

- I'm 3 days post antibiotic, and trying like mad to replenish my microbiome (I'm a huge microbiome nerd). One of the GI Drs I follow on social media (and he's written a few books/cookbook as well) advocates for 30 unique plants a week. It sounds hard, but if you're predominantly vegan (like I am) it's super doable, with a little intention. In 3 days, here is a list of the 26(!!!) plants i've consumed (plants being grains, nuts, fruits & veggies):
Bulgar, Peas, Carrots, Onions, Chickpeas, Tomato, Rice, Sweet potato, Cabbage, Pumpkin Seeds, Apple, Soy, Wheat, Beets, Raspberries, Spinach, Greens, Hemp, Pecan, Artichokes, Black olives Red pepper, Cucumber, Banana, Blueberries, Almonds
And for dinner tonight I'll be adding corn and quinoa and green beans to that list, so I'll be at 29 in 3 days! This biodiversity gives the probiotics I'm consuming the best chance to recolonize and thrive in my gut.

Wait…looks like the game is saying I can still weigh in? Is that right…?

I DID IT! I don’t know how, and I don’t think I deserve it, ☺ but I made it and got my weigh-in verified!
March 1 really sneaks up on you! Was glad to weigh in today low enough to also hit my goal for my Monday weigh-in, which means I should be able to reuse it (assuming no DB glitch like happened in another game last month).
I have no plans to self-sabatoge before then,
but it's nice to not have to deal with the whole process too many times.
Anyone else have that Process? Gotta move the rug, move the scale to the mirror, open up the shades and turn on the lights to get it bright enough, etc! And I shouldn't even have to move the rug but one time my weigh-in was rejected because something about the angle of the photo made them think the scale was on the rug, even though it wasn't. So since then I make sure it's very clearly distant!

The scale is going the wrong way today! Is that because I’m only drinking water (and one coffee this morning)?
I have lost 15 pounds so far through diet only, which goes to show how awful my eating habits were 😅 I’ve worked on portion control, not eating after dinner, and only drinking water. I should be really proud of those 15 pounds but that little voice in the back of my head says I could have lost more, which I definitely could have! In fact in past diets I have lost significantly more. The problem is that wasn’t sustainable. With what I’m doing now I’m not withholding any foods from myself, I’m just lessening the amount which will be way more sustainable in the long run. This month I’ll be working on a mental goal by trying to tell that little voice that slow and steady wins the race 🐢
