    im in!! just for today I will exercise.....I will NOT sneak a bite of chocolate chip cookie as a "reward" for staying within my daily cal limit lol. I know that defeats the purpose of cal limits, but its what I've been doing

    Good morning! I was wondering how the just for today was working for everyone? I'm loving it and when things got rough at work yesterday and I really wanted pizza I was able to tell myself "just for today." I've also found that deciding what I'm going to do instead i.e. eating the lunch I had brought from home INSTEAD of pizza helps me too.

    With that being said, Just For Today

    Log my food
    Get my run in
    10-15 min of yoga
    Drink my water

    Count me in, too. I need some extra support and taking it day-by-day seems like a good way to start.

    Just for today:
    1) track my food
    2) walk a mile during lunch time

    I didn't get all of my water in, but I was satisfied with the first goal!

    Well, I got all three in that I set for today, even talked to principal at school about setting up the Faculty health group and she loved the idea. I got my full 8 glasses of water today with my new 'carry water with me' as I am use to my well water and hate drinking the school or even bottled water. haha.... So, tomorrow my goals.....
    1. Listen daily to the meditation video I found on youtube.
    2. Keep up on my daily logging of my food, exercise and bp.
    3. Start setting up some sort of system for our faculty health group.....have to think of a Name for our group......we are a bunch of educators......our school mascot is Bronco.....any ideas???

    yesterday I ended up eating a bigger portion of meal... :( ... binging is my weakness....though I have cut down on unhealthy foods, carbo are really my cravings. I just cannot control the portion on rice :( . I have to eat less carbo....I have to eat less carbo...I have to...will be my mantra for the day.

    Just for today:6/1/15:

    1) control on rice quantity
    2) eating healthy
    3) 30 min walk
    4) staying active, avoiding the couch
    5) avoiding being alone ....alone leads to me binging or being a couch potato ....
    6) try to include some exercise ....

    2) I will stay under calories and remember to close out my diary at night
    3) I will get on the treadmill while catching up on Once Upon a Time on Netflix...
