Its rather late here in the UK so just for today:
1. I'm going to squeeze in an exercise dvd before bed
2. Have a protein drink after, and
3. Log everything I've eaten today
Well after doing the ironing last night I failed miserably on the first of my two aims for the day0 -
Goals for today,
1. Get over totally blowing my calorie goal for yesterday
2. Stick to my calorie goal today
3. Complete my scheduled 5 mile run
Happy Sunday everyone0 -
Good morning,
I did well yesterday and accomplished all 3 of my goals:
Just for today (17/1):
1) Don't give up - definitely didn't do that!
2) Go to the gym and exercise 30 minutes (first visit since June!) - did the treadmill for 35 minutes. Need to wear my FitBit though because I couldn't figure out how to log my speed properly since the fitness diary doesn't offer higher than 5.0 mph. Ended up logging it as race walking.
3) Track all food - came in under my calories but only because I didn't want to eat all my exercise calories.
Just for today (18/1):
1) Plan healthy dinners and breakfast for next week
2) Dance for 30 minutes or go for a 30 minute walk
3) Track all food0 -

It is 12:38pm and today I have:
1. Finally set up the FitBit tracker that bought myself for Christmas and downloaded the lolo Strength Cross Training apps to add variety to my workouts
2. Walked 6971 steps - hope to reach 10,000 by end of day
3. Drank 5 glasses of water - hope to reach 10 by end of day
I exceeded my walking and water goals! I was about 1500 steps short by late in the afternoon, so I went to the local mall and walked around for about 2 hours. By the time I went to bed, I had made it to 12,649 steps!0 -
Good morning! So happy that I met all of my goals yesterday.
Just for today I will:
1. Try my first workout from the lolo Boot Camp app that I downloaded yesterday
2. Eat at least 8 servings of veggies
3. Walk 10,000 steps0 -
Good morning,
I met most of my goals yesterday. The tricky part was meeting friends for lunch at a Mexican restaurant. I just focused on the amount of food I ate and eating until full. Did pretty well and then had a light dinner later that evening.
Just for Today (1/17/15)
1. Drank 10 servings of water.
2. Completed more than 30 minutes of run/walk intervals.
3. Ate generally healthy meals (including snacks).
Just for Today (1/18/15)
1. Drink 10 servings of water.
2. Exercise for at least 45 minutes.
3. Eat five healthy meals, including snacks.0 -

Nothing I will take credit for
3. Stay positive at work. It's too easy to start grumbling when things aren't perfect, but focusing on the negative will not make me feel better. Well I did grumble a little, but I am making progress here, so I am giving myself credit for that.

Love this discussion!
Just for today 1/19
1. Walk at least 30 mins.
2. Stick to my meal plan0 -
I love this thread! I think it is exactly what I need to keep me motivated. I will try to commit to three challenges for my "just for today" posts. I will have a mental challenge; a food/drink challenge; and an exercise challenge.
1. I will accept myself as I am. I will think about improving my health, not losing weight or looking skinny. My worth is determined by my attitude, not a number on a scale or a dress size.
2. I will plan my meals for next week today so I have time to shop and prep before I get too busy.
3. I will get out for a walk today.

Yesterday 1/18
1. Get a long walk in. DONE! Walked 4.75 miles. It is beautiful out!
2. Keep busy in the evenings to keep from snacking. I plan to sew I did do some sewing, and trying to learn applique, which was more frustrating than fun. Ended up eating a protein bar out of stress, and then popcorn later. But I think with my long walk, calorie-wise I still did OK.
3. Drink Water!! Forgot to drink my water
Just for today, Monday, 1/19
1. Just because the scale was UP this morning, I will not let that lead me to eating unhealthy, or eating too much.
2. Drink Water - remember to put a pitcher of ice water on the counter, and drink the entire pitcher
3. Get out for another LONG walk
4. Log every bite I eat
Happy Monday everyone!0 -
