    Hey guys! I'm new to this thread. I've been having a stressful month.... struggling with eating foods outside of my prepped meals. I feel like I'm losing control, but I know that it's all mind over matter. I can regain control whenever I like. And I'd like for it to be right now! I tend to get overwhelmed and try to do too many things at once. So, just for today...

    I am eating mindfully.
    I will be especially mindful of hunger cues before bed.
    I will get my cardio in.
    I accept my past mistakes and acknowledge that this does not define me as a person.
    I am working on being free from my sugar cravings.
    I will remember that in stressful situations, food does not solve problems. Food does not make me happy.

    @joan6630 Everyday that we post on this thread is a triumph. As you said, we only fail if we stop trying.

    After 3 days of wedding fever I am back on the train. All went well, it was a perfect day for my daughter and her guests. I'm ready to refocus.
    JFT
    1. Relish my triumphs.
    2. Pre-plan/follow through
    3. 40+ minutes each cardio/strength/flexibility exercise.
    4. 1.5+ litres of tea/water
    5. Shop for groceries

    @ciki90 Welcome to the thread. Stick with it. :)

    In an attempt to stay away from sugary snacks in the car, I ate some sugar-free candies instead. The sugar alcohols upset my stomach terribly. Lesson learned.

    To plan and make invigorating and healthy meals and snacks
    To do an hour of ellipticals
    To create a lovely sensible dinner for two tonight
    Also, to drink a lot of water

    "You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."



    This describes me - feeling like such a failure. But, being a failure is staying down. Today, I stand up, and get back on track!!!

    I can relate to that. to all of that. here's to getting back on that track :)

    JUST for today,
    I'm stealing from feistyjojo:

    no sugar-based snacks

    also, work on my hip pain with a kind attitude and let disappointment go. it is what it is, and worry will do nothing positive for me.

    HAPPY FRIDAY to all of you.

    Solid day yesterday.

    Worked out for 86 minutes including a 2.5 mile walk at a 17:39 pace. Bit slower but went with my lovely bride. Always will trade speed for the time together. Was 10% below calorie goal. Over indulged on chocolate but still within my plan.
    Reminded myself of why I'm becoming healthier in the morning, didn't do it in the evening.
    Found several new podcasts, interested to see if they match their summaries.

    For today:

    I will work out for 40 minutes
    For today I will stay under my calorie goal and won't overindulge in any single food.
    For today I will verbalize the reasons I'm becoming healthier, morning and afternoon.
    For today I will insure I'm positive in all interactions with my boss
