I will stay under my calorie goals and make good choices when dining out
I will work out for 80 minutes
I will reinforce my wellness mantra
I am expressing my gratitude that I'll be able to work in a family visit at the end of my business trip.
Traveling for the next 7 days...
Solid day.
Even though I indulged in a What-a-Burger with cheese (had to, it's Texas!) I was still well under my calorie goal for the day. Skipped the fries and shake, didn't do the double and was on track the rest of the day.
Worked out for 87 minutes including my first 3 mile walk at a solid 16:36/mile pace
Reinforced my wellness mantra twice on the day
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal and make good choices for my meals
I will work out for 40 minutes
I will reinforce my wellness mantra
I am expressing my gratitude for my life. On the flight into Dallas, the lady next to me on the plane was airsick and threw up on my shirt. Two couples with their kids across the aisle and the two rows behind me. One lady berated and belittled her husband the entire flight. Beaten man... Me, I've been traveling for a long, long time and after 23 years of marriage my lovely bride still sends me off with a love note in my briefcase. Despite the wild flight, she made my day. I have a good life.

Pre-track food-done!
Mow lawn & walk
Prep some veggies
Bring fruit for snack in car
Buy more fruit
Drink 8-10 cups of water
Preplan meals for the week
Try not to snack while tired.
In bed between 9-9:30!
Have a great day everyone!

sunnydee216...letting go of the past for today. A very good goal indeed! Go for it...the past just becomes a heavy drag...Today you can do without it!!0 -
Earlier today I responded to a post with a comment that spoke right to my own heart...I said"letting go of the past for today. A very good goal indeed! Go for it...the past just becomes a heavy drag...Today you can do without it!! "
This needs to be one of my goals TODAY and not worry about if I can also do it tomorrow...today is enough for today...I'm too tired to keep pulling 60 years of past and it hasn't done any good! So I'm putting down the chain today! Awesome...feels good and it is right....blessings you all....0 -

2. Workout - Insanity Max 30 Tabata Power
3. No drinking (alcohol)
4. Push through any negative thoughts and don't let them derail me0 -
Yesterday, Monday, 9/7
1. keep water with me in the evenings to keep from snacking. If I am really hungry, drink a glass of milk.
2. replace one bad habit with a good habit. Bad habit today - eating while sewing. Just for today, no eating in my sewing room - I had some nuts, but I stopped sewing, went and ate them in the kitchen!
3. My legs are tired yet from the past 2 days of exercising, but I am going to try and get out for a walk tonite - maybe a 30 minute walk.
Got in a 15 minute walk - but saw storm clouds building, so decided to get back home.
JFT, Tuesday, 9.8
1. NO eating in my sewing room -- REplace this habit with a good habit.
2. Drink water in the evenings to keep from snacking
3. get in a 40 minute walk or bike ride tonite!

- Manage portion size at lunch at my dad's tomorrow .... to help me come within 10% of calories target Not so good. Did limit portions but still ate a bit too much of the quiche and had more ice cream than I needed for dessert. Am about 20% over target today.

Wednesday's goals
- double bootcamp and work hard
- avoid having ANY biscuits at my sister's
- hit calorie target or under0 -
Rather on the late side for today, but this is more for the rest of the week and not health or fitness related (at best it counts life improvement). I will keep calm and not freak myself out or work myself out about my driving test on Friday. I'm not a horrible driver just not good yet either. Passing would be awesome and what I really want, but failing the driving test the first time is not a big deal. Very Inconvienent and very annoying, but not the end of the world and is not an overall sign of failure. Accept it and move on by learning from my mistakes, practice some more, and reschedule the test again as soon as possible.0

2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning
Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing
What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?
I do all sorts of crafts, paint watercolours, write poetry. I am an ex-teacher, so I run 4 groups for a local charity and belong to another 10 or so, but will have to put them on hold until I recover from my hip op. I have a new patchwork project, my first full quilt, which I hope will keep me busy.
JFT
1. Listen to the Doctor/physio and follow there instructions
2. Go home. Yippee!
3. Relax. Op went very well! Say the X-ray.
On track for a speedy recovery
JFT Wed 9/09
1. Do physio exercises
2. Get up and move every hour
3. Be thankful0 -

Good day yesterday.
Under my calorie goal and make good choices despite a few weak moments.
Worked out for 38 minutes.
Reinforced my wellness mantra twice
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal for the day. Going out for TexMex with friends for dinner.
I will work out for 40 minutes
I will express my wellness mantra
I am expressing gratitude for MFP. For years I tried to give myself "points" or some other system for making solid food and exercise choices. MFP makes this easy to track calories in and out.

You'll get there! As with many struggles in our lives, we're just not "there" YET. Key word "YET".0 -

Yesterday went well, especially tracking. I waited a little too late for my walk & got caught in the worst of the heat! Lesson learned...
JFT
Walking early today.
Very active today so I'll have to be diligent about drinking water.
Eat fruit for each snack.
Get some important paperwork done.
Start project for church.
Prep supper (already tracked).
Read an inspirational blog.
In bed by 9:30.
Listened to a great podcast that discussed maintaining healthy habits & I have to ask myself "can I sustain the habits I'm trying to adopt for the next 30 years"? If yes, then it's a wise choice.
