Good morning everyone and happy February 1st!
Yesterday one of my friends posted a great quote I want to share with you:
"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your Destiny."
This quote truly exemplifies my life philosophy and is particularly relevant when it comes to any endeavor. To sum it up, if you focus on guilt and bad things, you will carry that into bad words, bad actions, bad habits and a bad life. Many people here admit that our battle is mostly in our heads and until we conquer our mind, we can't model our bodies.
We should all try to embrace the positives, focus on what we did right, focus on accomplishments, focus on the good! Once we shift our perspective on a positive course, everything else will fall into place.
If we did one thing right yesterday than we celebrate that and build upon it!

Today is my rest day and I plan to enjoy every minute of it!
Have a fabulous Sunday, stay positive!!!!

    Good morning.

    I hit my goals yesterday, even with the out to eat that we did.

    Today is a much needed "all bets are off" day.

    Danelutza19 your quote and summary remind me of a quote by the great John Wooden, "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." I think so many times we have good intentions and set our goals too high and then get discouraged when we don't meet it. This quote seems so simple but I think it is something else that we always need to keep in mind.

    On that note, my goals for today are:
    1. Make good food choices at our party.
    2. Walk 30 minutes.
    3. Stay under calories.
    4. Enjoy the game!

    Good luck everyone on meeting your goals for the day!

    Had a great day yesterday, last night went to a pre super bowl party and only drank water and eat a few veggies and pieces of fruit. It was really hard to stay away from the other food, but i did it. I ate dinner before i left and was able to control myself. So hope it show on the scale tomorrow.

    Enjoy the game tonight.

    Thanks danelutza19! It was a great game but I was going for the Seahawks so I was disappointed. Now it's time for baseball season!
