Well you can’t see as much sweat as I feared – thank goodness! But I did like this photo featuring my tie-dye head-sweat scarf.

Podcast Recap

Stéfanie and Sue are on the bravery report for taking a leap of faith and trying 10 days without the scale. Sadly, I’m still not ready. On the positive side, my bike riding and hiking have been fantastic due to feeding myself enough food to support these activities. Who knew that fitness could actually feel fun? Serving sizes take on a new meaning with my intuitive eating practice. Shout-outs to new Facebook poster and brave companion, Lucy, to my first Amazon.com shopper, and to the 10 brave companions who have me on their Stitcher playlists.

My latest bravery. I asked Mark to take a photo of me full body in my clingy bike gear on our last bike ride! I also added the full resolution version of this one to my weight photos page. Even though my weight is slightly up, I feel I look as good as I felt on the ride – fantastic!

It was so hot, and I feel SO much more comfortable in my body, even at its current size, I wore shorts to the park in front of God and everybody!

Podcast Recap

That darn scale, I still can’t keep myself off of it every morning! How can I get over this bad habit? The truth about my former weight maintenance methods and how intuitive eating differs. Shout-outs to Alen Standish for his kindness in providing me a quick way to get ALL countries’ iTunes reviews and to Cheryl for giving Alen’s show a try and for posting a comment to him. Why I so appreciate how you brave companions support me and each other. Hello from new brave companion Helen, brava to brave companion Monica from Australia for stepping up to say hi to us, and we hear from one of the original brave companions, Crystal, who gets back in touch and highly deserves her place on today’s bravery report! More about money and my adventures with Amazon. Finally, Insomnia drives a wedge in my progress and we do an experiment to identify fullness in our tummies and guts.

It’s hard to take a flattering selfie to show your bravery wearing shorts to the park on a hot day. BUT I feel really good here, tummy and all. I wore my shorts and nobody passed out in horror. In fact, NOBODY noticed at all. Great step for me.
