Just for today --- daily commitment thread

Late getting on here today!
But I did so good yesterday - made chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies for when my HS friends come next weekend, and also grandsons the weekend after. I knew if I took even 1 bite, I would want more. So I had my water next to me while baking, and did eat a Atkins bar, and did not eat one bite! They are now in the freezer. Next saturday I've already told myself that I will have one or two, but I am pre-planning it. Hoping by planning a "cheat" day that I can get right back on track.
But, my weight is only 1 lb from being out of the 200s, so hope to keep my momentum going!
So just for today, monday
1. low carbs
2. no sugar
3. drink water
4. exercise.

Off to Dublin for 3 v intense days of work tomorrow (although thankfully in English for a change).
Goals during hat time:
- Do basic knee rehab routine Every. Single. Day.
- Avoid any sugar based snacks in the mornings/ at lunch
- Remember to just pause and breathe to check in:Is it hunger or just tension making me want to eat?
Will reassess how I will go about the rest of the year with potential injury when I'm back.
Keep going everyone. .. your honesty and your posts encourage me.
Good to see you back! Hope your knee gets better soon!0 -

If you want a really good laugh, check out this thread. - You Know When You're in the MFP "Zone" When...
Sorry, I don't know how to make it a link
It's in the success stories section. I laughed so hard, I was wondering if I should count it as exercise!
