Just for today --- daily commitment thread

This is a continuation of a thread I started a thread late October, and another one in January and February, to try to stay on track, "JUST FOR A DAY".
We have had over 500 replies each month, so I am going to restart this each month. This has helped me tremendously, to start each day new. It has kept me going, and to keep on trying, one day at a time. And, I've met some wonderful friends along the way! Reading others goals for just one day has given me so much inspiration and goals to set for myself.
If I can do this for JUST ONE DAY, well, maybe that one day will lead to another day, an entire week, an entire month, and this will help me to develop better habits for my life, taking this one day at a time.
So each day I am going to post what I would like to accomplish. While I post my "Just for today" list, I am also going to post how I did the day before, so I am accountable to you guys as well.
Would anyone like to join me!! I am always so encouraged reading others goals, and together, we can all reach our goals for 2015 and beyond. I hope to keep doing this, starting a new thread each month.
March is a new month, a fresh start!

The month of February was a very hard one for me to stay motivated. While I am sad that I did not lose any weight for the month, I stayed the same. So in this way, I have been a success. Winter months are hard for me - as the days are shorter, no sun, so cold, !!!
But getting on here keeps me from just giving up. I am taking this one day at a time.
My goals for the month of March are:
Starting weight 194.6. Goal is to lose those 4.6 lbs, and be back in the 180s!!!
Some kind of exercise, 30 minutes 5x a week.
So to get to these goals, my goal
Just for today, 3/1
1. Log every bite I eat - no matter what.
2. exercise minimun 30 minutes today

Hello again everyone! I was trying to post in the other thread this morning and I kept losing everything right before I click post reply. I ended up giving up before I did something I would regret to my computer.
My goal for the day ended up being Not losing my temper when things do not go my way. And I succeeded. 
Sometimes small steps are important.
Joan, not gaining in February is no small accomplishment. Now that it is March, I want to get my weight loss restarted again also. We can do this together, I am sure of it. By the end of the month I would like to be at least 3 pounds lighter.0 -

I found this thread last week, but I didn't post. I think it is just what I need to remind me to take it one day at a time because otherwise I keep thinking about how much I need to lose and get overwhelmed . So I am jumping in
Today I will:
1. Go to the gym
2. Cook ahead lunches for the week
3. Be more patient with my family
4. Work for at least 3 hours
Have a great day!1 -
Just restarting attempting weight loss today - hopefully to keep it off this time - and this thread popped up on my home page. Sounds like a great idea to not get overwhelmed.
Just for today:
I will log everything I eat
I will not give in and eat everything in the cupboard if I go over my calorie goal.1 -
Thanks for this.
Just for today:
I forgive myself and am starting again by,
logging everything I eat.
Staying within goals.3 -
Just for today:
I will not eat any more Girl Scout cookies.5
