    1. Log or keep track of all food. I'm well enough to do this again. :) yep. even the 2 cookies I didn't need.
    2. Take a walk, Short or long, this makes me feel better. :)
    3. Drink water. Keep some on my desk if I start to forget. :) But..I need to drink more

    Now, It's Saturday! And I still have to work so I am going to repeat my goals again. Just for today I will.

    1. Log or keep track of all food.
    2. Take a walk, Short or long, this makes me feel better.
    3. Drink water. Keep a full glass of water on my desk at all times.

    Have a Fun Saturday!

    I did this for a bit in January and it really helped. Then I stopped and everything seemed to fall apart. There is something about setting specific goals and the publicly sharing theme that just gives me the motivation to actual stick with my plan.

    Just for today:
    I am not going to beat myself up over my Girl Scout cookie binge last night. What's done is done and today is a new day. Move on.
    I will push those cookies to the back of the pantry where I don't have to look at them.
    I will pack healthy snacks and meals for my 12 hour shifts tonight and tomorrow night
    I will run for one hour today before work
    I will take a rest today tomorrow and remind myself that my body needs rest and night shifts kick my butt and it is OK,

    So I did not meet my goals I set yesterday. I got involved in a big organizing project in my basement and went too long without eating and then binged. Rookie mistake, right?
    Today I will only set the goal of allowing myself only one after dinner snack. (Hubby and I have a dinner out planned) And I will meet my water goal.
    Sunday, I will regroup and plan my food and workouts for the coming week.

    Good morning everyone!
    2/13: Good day under calories despite no cardio & a fast food dinner @ 10:30pm last night :s
    2/14: This will be my 1st weekend with MFP; where the rubber meets the road.
    Today I will strive to stay on course because I'm having a new relationship with food & of course myself <3

    3. Eat under 100G carbs :| Not totally sure about this...had a tiny bit of champagne which was not measured...probably still under goal.

    1. Dance for fun and remember to wear Fitbit! (lost out on likely 8000+ steps yesterday by forgetting it.
    2. Work on leg stretches
    3. Stay on track with eating

    Goals for today were:
    - to go to bootcamp rain or shine ☺ AND I really pushed myself. Under calorie target again

    And am just coming to that time of the month when I crave chocolate.

    So tomorrow's goal (14th) is simply to stay within net calorie goal.

    Not so good today. Over target due to biscuits and Nutella. Time of month means my body is screaming for sugar.
    So goal for 15th:
    - new day, so refocus
    - do some exercise and eat under calorie target to compensate for today

    Yesterday was a mixed bag. I stayed under my calories (yay), i did a very very small/short workout (boo) and failed at doing work...blerg.
    so I need to refocus today! back to simple goals -
    1) stay under calorie goals
    2) exercise for at least 30 min

    good luck everyone!!!

    Now, It's Saturday! And I still have to work so I am going to repeat my goals again. Just for today I will.

    1. Log or keep track of all food. I was perfect until about 10pm. Tired eating is a big uh oh for me. :\
    2. Take a walk, Short or long, this makes me feel better. No. And I'm sorry I didn't :(
    3. Drink water. Keep a full glass of water on my desk at all times. Well one out of three isn't bad anyway. :)

    So I'm starting out fresh today. Just for today I will.
    1. Get at least 10000 steps. I will get a long walk in.
    2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
    3. Relax and enjoy the day with family. I do not want to go to a birthday party but....spending time with the family is something I can enjoy.

    Yesterday is over. Now all I can do is focus on today's goals and move forward.

    Have a beautiful Sunday
