    I like to "snack" in the evening so what I started doing is eating fiber cereal. Not the sugary kind, the bran psyllium buds. I add some cinnamon and eat it with a hot cup of tea and it takes away my desire to eat bad in the evening. You could always give that a try on those days you really need to "snack" and great job at taking it one day at a time!

    I love this idea! I WILL post my list the night BEFORE and go BACK that night to see how everyone's done!

    Just for Today (Tues 11/4)

    1. Will wake up early for my run!
    2. If I NEED to snack at night it will be fruit!
    3. I WILL take one day at a time FORGET these last couple of weeks! I CAN do this!

    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

    JFT I will do my toning and cardio workouts and log them as well.
    JFT I will accomplish (at least)1 task that I have been avoiding.
    JFT I will stay mindful and live in the moment, not worrying about tomorrow.

    I had been in Michigan visiting grandkids, and fell totally off the wagon. Way too much halloween candy, McDonalds, Pizza, etc. I was hoping the candy would be gone at my house when I got home, but hubby and daughter saved me some. Wasn't that nice of them - NOT!!

    SO.. just for today
    I will not beat myself up for overeating.
    I will start each day fresh, and not look back, only look forward at the 20 lbs I have lost so far
    I will log everything I eat
    I will do minimum of 10 minutes on my ellipitical

    Just for today, I will think I am spectacular and be social and inviting when I meet new people, instead of hiding like a mouse. :)

    I'm so happy I found this thread!! I have been off the wagon for about 3 months now. And I am dying to get back on!

    Just for today, upon returning from work I will NOT convince myself that I am too tired to go for a run and can start again tomorrow.

    Just for today I will not have a SINGLE piece of leftover Halloween candy. (It was snowing here in Chicago and I only had ONE trick or treater and 4 bags of candy!)

    Just for today I will not "forget" (I really don't forget I just remember late at night and am too lazy to get up and do it) to make my lunch for tomorrow.

    So happy so many are joining us in this thread. I really need to get back doing this. I was going to make another suggestion. While we post our "Just for today" list, do you guys think if we all posted how we did the day before? So we are accountable doing the things we listed?

    Yay, for me!! I was able to get my run in! It takes a lot for me to get up early for my run! Once I'm up AND OUT it feels awesome! The tempts been down in the upper 40's so it does wake me up, lol.

    Love this, and would love to do this everyday! :smile:

    1. Just for today, I will do 30-45 minutes of exercise (one of my Turbofire videos).
    2. Just for today, I will prepare a healthy lunch to take to work tomorrow.
    3. Just for today, I will drink a minimum of 100 ounces of water (currently at 40).

    Thanks for the idea about Water!! I need to add this onto my list as well. I always forget to drink my water - probably what leads to overeating at nighttime!

    This is great, thank you for posting it.
    I have 20lbs to loose, but want to loose 8-10lbs by Christmas. I too have a sugar addiction, and once I start eating it I can not stop. I also make lots of excuses about exercise. So my Just For Today will be
    - Walk for 30 mins
    - Eat only 2 biscuits
    - Do 20 squats using the squat rack and 20 chest press, pushing 7.5-10lbs.

    Just for today
    11/5
    1.Do 15 mins of Gazelle!
    2. Do NOT buy ice cream, when I go grocery shopping!
    3. Make HEALTHY food choices! ( NO CANDY)
