Just for today --- daily commitment thread

Late again posting !
I am on DAY 14 of my low-carb, low sugar way of eating. It is getting easier, and the best part is that it kick-started my weight loss. I am now only .8 of a pound from being OUT of the two hundreds! So I am excited.
But - my girlfriends are coming into town, and I know I will eat more, and probably more carbs. So I am trying to just tell myself, or allow myself, to go off a little, but get right back on track sunday when they leave.
SO even though it is late, today was more of a struggle. I want some ice cream, or something sweet.
so JUST FOR TODAY - tonite
1. Drink water
2. remember how good I feel eating healthy, and don't let 2 seconds while the food passes my taste buds to ruin that momentum.

Forgot my review of today
J4T Wednesday
1. Take breakfast lunch and snack with me to work
2. Focus on sticking to calorie goals one meal at a time - went a little crazy at lunch with hummus crackers and veggies. Ate almost all my calories for the day. But I'm still full at 9pm, so I am skipping dinner and a snack. I am very happy that I didn't just continue overeating, but I was able to hold it together and come in just under my goal.
3. Finally get to the grocery store

JFT
I will stay focused on my goals.
Block time to get projects done.
Drink 9 cups of water.
Walk, Pilates & play with puppy.
Pack healthy snacks.
Salad for lunch. PRETRACKED already.
Read something for inspiration.
Early to bed.
"If not now....WHEN?"
Except for the Pilates, today's goals are the same. Struggling with a lot these past few days. Need to pay close attention to getting more sleep b/c I can tell I'm not feeling energized when I wake up. I keep thinking of things to add to my goals like changing to decaf but I need to take it slow in order for these healthy habits to stick.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

MORNING TIP: Start your day with a full glass of lemon water. 2 cups water, half a lemon, squeeze into glass, microwave for 1 minute. You are dehydrated from sleeping, a great way to start your day.
JFT - stay within calorie goals, don't sabotage all the good work this week with overindulgent weekend (like I usually do). Self discipline!!!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!
Fantastic endorsement, I will look it up later!
Have a great weekend everyone. With a little luck, I'll be able to come up with goals again next week0 -
Just a quick one - as High school friends will be here soon. I know I will go over my carb and my sugar. But JFT, tell myself that this is life -- and one or two days will be OK. Monday its right back on track. I didn't help anything though by baking pies and cookies
, But -- its one day, and that is OK! 0 -

Day 11, losing momentum, staying within calorie/ nutrition goals and logging them every day. Went over sodium yesterday, will do better JFT and hopefully the next. Not as excited as 11 days ago, not posting here as much but I will do this today because I can do anything for one day and hopefully I will be more motivated tomorrow!0

The first few weeks are the hardest so stick in there! Just slog through until you reach a point where it comes easier. It will come easier and you can do this. You'll regret stopping but you won't regret keeping it going.

All commitments met for yesterday. Was coming in way under calories so had some wine (ok, I had 10 OZ! Yikes, that wasn't so smart.). Still within my calories but it sure hits harder when you're in a deficit and not eating a bunch of junk with it.
JFT, 10/24
1. Stay within 200 calories of my limit. Today is a non-exercise day and I have a good cushion this week so I may take in a bit more.
2. Walk the dogs - done!
3. Participate in volunteer activity in the morning - done!0 -
I'm in
Just for today
I will stick to my eating window
I will do Kick Boxing
I will log everything I eat0 -

Back again and into a very busy few weeks whilst dealing with a knee injury which is limiting my exercise.
So what can I do (would be so nice to have some success for a while after some poor choices for a while).
I can:
- do knee rehab. Every. Single. Day. Even if it's just the 10 min version. It definitely helps.
- choose nutritious foods and pay attention while I'm eating so I actually notice I've eaten
- choose to avoid added sugar most days as this really helps me.
So that's what I commit to for tomorrow (Monday)

Writing off last week. Vegas...
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal and won't over indulge
I will express my wellness mantra when I finish MFP update
I will continue to work on patience in all aspects of my life
I will commit fully to my work.
I am expressing gratitude for the 14+ years we had with our puppy dog. No more true or pure love and her presence brought joy to every day. She is missed.0 -
