    Just for today

    Thanks to all of you for being so inspirational. We have all had a great week. I know we have all done better because of this thread. Joan.....do you think we can continue this for next month? :)
    I would like to restart the thread each month, so it doesn't get so big. But yes, it is so inspirational to me as well. Thank you so much everyone that participates. Keeps me going, one day at a time!

    Yesterday, 1/22
    1. Drink water!! I struggle so much with this. I know it makes me feel better when I am hydrated, and makes me eat less, so why is this so hard for me to do! :) Did better with this, but still not enough water.
    2. Bundle up, and go out for another long walk tonite instead of snacking after dinner :):) It was 34 degrees, but I got my 3 mile walk in!!!
    3. Log everything I eat :):)
    4. DO not let the scale dictate my success :)

    Just for today, 1/23
    1. Today will be a busy day, so plan my food in advance.
    2. Drink water, especially in the evening when I want to snack
    3. Walk minimum 30 minutes, or get on my ellipitical
    4. Log every bite that I eat!
    5. Stay focused for long-term health

    Happy Friday to everyone!

    Just for Today 1/22
    1. log everything I eat :(
    2. Keep calories at 1200 :(
    3. get in 10 minutes of positive meditation :(

    Big bump yesterday. I got into the cookies from the baking contest at work. :'(

    1. I will not let my set back yesterday, turn into a routine. Wipe myself up and start fresh.
    2. I will log everything I eat
    3. Keep calories at 1200
    4. do that dang meditation. gotta get back into that routine, it helps!

    Today, my manager is taking us to lunch, so I need the strength to make smart choices. Fortunately my manager and working partner are both pretty healthy and don't eat a lot of crap, so hopefully there won't be much temptation.

    Just for Today
    1. Don't use food during stress
    2. Focus on ONE THiNG AT A TIME
    3. Remember my protein drink
    4. Don't let the scale get in your way!

    Long long day yesterday! I really really can't wait till we are actually driving back to Washington! Last night I received a phone call saying Triahs in pre labor but they're not close enough! It's extremely hard not being there with he, ugh! She has an appointment today so we should know more, :) Plus when I stepped on the scale I was up a pound! I'm positive it's because of stress! I just need to remember JUST FOR TOAY, FOCUS FOCUS!!!!!

    Happy Friday!

    Now, January 23 Just for today I will

    1. Log Everything I eat :)
    2. Take a walk. Early so I do not forget :)
    3. Drink 8 or more glasses of water :)
    4. Stay calm and look for the positive, :) well...for the most part anyway

    It is so much easier to look at some of these goals one day at a time. I can do this for today, I do not need to worry about tomorrow yet.

    January 24 Just for today I will

    1. write down everything I eat (no access to my log most of today, so this should at least keep me aware of my eating)
    2. Take a walk. I may imitate you Joan and do this after dinner. When I work late, snacking after dinner is a problem for me.
    3. Drink drink drink Try keeping a glass of water on my desk at work to remind myself.
    4. Stay calm and enjoy the ride. It's going to be crazy at work for the next couple of weeks.

    Enjoy Saturday All!

    I thought I had posted here at least once this month. ;-/ Evidently not. ;-(

    January 24 Just for today I will

    1. Pay attention to my activity tracker when it buzzes at me every hour and get up and do something for 5 minutes.
    2. Get a half hour of moderate activity in. I'm visiting relatives so a full out workout isn't possible today.
    3. Drink my 8 glasses of water.

    Just for today January 24:

    1.) I will do as much moving at work as I can before the two hour car trip to the show tonight.
    2.) I will allow myself enough calories for dinner on the road tonight and NOT overindulge like I tend to. Eating because your nervous is not okay.
    3.) I will stay hydrated and focused. I will help load and unload as much equipment as I can for my little bit of excersive (since I can't get a real work out in today) and stay away from the bar.
