    Just for today, January 3rd

    I will be grateful for the beauty around me and get outside and walk over 10,000 steps... even though it's winter in Minnesota.

    This is great! I wish I had found it yesterday!
    Just for today 1/2/15:
    1. Do today's workout, and yesterdays (because life got in the way yesterday)
    2. Stay in my goals
    3. Log -everything-!

    I find that trying to make up for something done or not done from day before doesn't work. Forgive yourself and move forward. If you work extra hard the day after you missed a workout, or the day after you went over calories, you should just be proud of the workout you did and not consider it the punishment for the missed one from the day previously or the "bad" you might have eaten. Good luck and keep focusing on the day at hand!

    Forgive yourself and move on!!! Love it - Lisa

    Well I did it! 30 min left in my shift and I walked twice, kept to my healthy snacks, and drank my water. I'm ready to head home where my hubby has grilled chicken breast with fresh peppers and onions, quinoa and black beans for dinner!

    - Jan3rd Just for today I will:
    - Do better on my water; keep the sugar grams down to within my allotment; get 30+ min. of exercise; TRY to get in 7-8000 steps. I seem to have trouble getting in more most days.
    - Well I wasn't totally successful, got in just 7000 steps and did not get more water but did keep within my sugar quota and did 60 min. of exercise on the recumbent bike and treadmill.

    ~ I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. ~

    Just for today I'll go to the gym. I won't let my poor eating (which I have done for the past two weeks) keep me from starting over tomorrow.

    1. i will get in 8 glasses of water (this is a challenge on weekends, when I'm not stuck at a desk with a glass sitting next to me) :)
    2. do 5 minutes of meditation :)
    3. log everything I eat :):):)

    I feel pretty proud on logging what I eat! Logging is something I have only done when I'm on top of things, so of course everything looks good. But lately, I'm working on logging the good, the bad and the ugly.

    Yes, I find keeping my diary secret helps me be completely honest. Other times feel like sharing it keeps from eating something i will have to admit. Try it both ways, see what works best.

    1. Fill out my tracker on this website every day for food intake, exercise and BP.
    2. Weigh my self every morning and take my BP 3x's a day.
    3. Print out the summary every day and keep in a file to take to my heart/general practice doctors to report on how I am doing so I can get off all these medications.

    January 3. Just for today

    1. log everything I eat :) Not happy with the results, but it is logged
    2. drink lots of water/hot tea (I think I may be catching my husbands cold :( ) :)
    3. take a walk :\ It was a very short walk. I need to do better

    Yes Joan6630, these days inside are a grazing nightmare. I need to get the stuff PUT AWAY so it isn't too easy to walk past the table and grab another handful of pretzels or gummy bears. Maybe I'll just replace the goodies on the table with fruit and raw veggies. At least I should graze on healthier choices.

    January 4. Just for today I will

    1. Log everything I eat and really pay attention
    2. keep drinking water and hot tea. I think it may be working. :)
    3. take a walk. Outside if at all possible

    Happy Sunday Everyone!
