    2. Insanity Max 30 workout
    3. No drinking!!
    4. Banish negative thoughts and focus on how much better I am feeling

    I will stay within my calorie goal, watch my sodium, drink plenty of water and exercise on my elliptical after work--oh yeah, and celebrate my accomplishments to date instead of thinking how far I have left to go!

    Just for today:

    I want to not eat at a level so my "weight in 5 weeks" is not my current weight.

    To drink this bottle of water next to me with immune system tincture in it.

    I want, for the remainder or the day - because it is afternoon - to eat because I am hungry and not because of stress.

    I want to eat small bits and not large portions which make me full afterwards.

    I just read through a little bit, and I like this idea a lot! It's so easy to get discouraged by the 'big picture' of losing weight (have already lost 100 and gained back 40...have another 80 or so to go), but taking it one day at a time seems a lot easier to manage.

    Just For Today:
    1. Stick to the eating plan I mapped out this morning (going out to eat and have pre-selected what I'm going to eat)
    2. Go to bed at a reasonable hour (not midnight like the last few nights...aiming for 10/10:30)

    If I can manage those two I'll be doing great! The bedtime is harder for me I think.

    ~Chelle

    Stuck mostly to yesterday's goals - I had a whole sandwich at Panera instead of half and half a salad. I consciously made the decision to do that, so I'm happy with the decision. And I went to sleep at 10!! It was because I was exhausted, but it was still 10!

    JFT
    1. Walk the last two flights of stairs at work if I end up going downstairs for anything (work on the 7th floor) - this one is also for tomorrow morning.
    2. Go to bed at a reasonable hour again.
    3. Stick to eating plan for dinner tonight - cooking at home.

    I am expressing gratitude for the ability to set my own travel schedule.

    Decent day yesterday.

    5% over the new calorie goal for the day. Made mostly good decisions while dining out but it's always eye opening how the bread, butter, cocktails etc. add up.
    Worked out for 39 minutes and expressed my wellness mantra

    For today:

    I will stay under my new lower calorie goal.
    I will work out for 80 minutes.
    I will make good choices while dining out.

    Good idea, I think I will focus today on sticking to calorie goals one meal at a time instead of looking at the whole day of calories, will give this a try. You are either up very early or up very late.

    Solid day yesterday.

    Well under my calorie goal even with four restaurants. Good choices excluding a Top Pot doughnut. Eh, not worth the calories.
    Nice victory in walking away from 1/2 bag of m&m's.
    Worked out for 90 minutes including a 50+ treadmill session at a sub 16:30 pace.
    Expressed my wellness mantra.

    For today:

    Will work out for 40 minutes.
    Will stay under my calorie goal.
    I will express my wellness mantra.
    I am expressing gratitude for some of the best wellness advice I've ever received. "If you don't feel like working out, do something small." Didn't want to treadmill walk last night but talked myself into 1 mike. 1 turned into a solid 3 miles.

    I will increase my activity by adding an evening walk.
    I will continue to track.
    I will snack on more veggies.
    3 days in a row I've drank my goal for water-need to maintain this.
    Cleaning!!
    Bath puppy.
    Continue working on resume.

    My son & husband have taken notice when I grab fruit for my dessert. Not sure if it's a "WTG mom" or "is mom crazy" look (lol). Also there are some people in my life that I would like to hear words of encouragement from but it will likely not happen. I have to accept this & know that this is my journey not theirs. I will not rely on others & disconnect from the negative.
