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!!

Molly... today the SUN is shining brightly as the snow squalls pass through town.  somehow that just isn't right... but it IS MARCH....

so... I keep looking for crocus' & daffodils one of these days I WILL SEE THEM!!!

The other day I actually FELT like going for an early morning walk...

perhaps soon I will actually get out of bed and get back on track with those early am walks. The cabin fever has been tough to deal with this winter. So much SNOW ... no place safe to walk. 

Today I determined to stop letting myself have so many "treats" ... the scale has been creeping.... in the wrong direction. My early determination has returned with the sunshine and I'm heading back to my goal weight. 

YOU are still an inspiration to me ... keep up the fight!

Thanks!   You are my inspiration also!!!  I am not worried aobut you getting a few pounds off.  Just make sure it is only a few......:-) 

On another note, I can't wait until April and May roles around!!  I am going to put in 30 hours voluteer work in April and 50 in May.  We have CO in May so I am good to go.  I am doing spring cleaning now so I can gear up for April and May.  Good hearing from you dear.
