Its Spring fever!

I am so ready today.  Spring is in the air.  Can you feel it? 

"It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"  ~Mark Twain

I love seeing signs of spring on the way.  New beginnings and time to get ride of those coats so it is time to step it up for me.  I need to get some more weight off so I can wear summer clothes hanging in my closet for 2 years now.  Yes I am losing weight to get healthy but I am also losing weight to feel good about myself and to LOOK   better also. And I will do it, one day at a time.

My March plan is:  To focus on eating healthy and under my calories most days of the month.  I am taking a page from WW with their bonus points system.  On weekends I will give myself an extra 1000 starting Saturday to be divided however I want to eat them between Sat and Sun. 

This will not include exercise either.  If I exercise this is additional food I can eat and probably will.   This should work well.  This will give me wiggle room without going overboard and not feeling deprived for special occasions or events over the weekend.  My goal on weekends is to maintain. Eating 500 to 1000 extra calories over the weekend for me will not be a gain with or without exercise. 

I will lose more than one pound in March.  I am glad I did not go up in February for sure but I want and need more.  

Thanks again for your support!   It means more than words can say and is so helpful to my journey.  You rock!  Have a good week everyone and let's do our best to stick to our plans and goals whatever they may be!  We can do this!!  Consistency not perfection.

Go for it, Molly!

You are right, spring is a time of renewal and you (and Lee) have the right ideas on using that as motivation!

I'm right there with you!   We can do this!

I hear ya Molly

It is starting to feel like spring has sprung and therefore I have to spring into even more action to assure that I will make my goals.

Keep your heat tight and your motivation right and you can do it.   At least that's what i'm hoping.   

Molly there's nothing like having a good plan in place.  I'm excited about Spring and my clothes fit from last spring ( with a little more wiggle room).

Kave a good week end!
