    I'm getting started yet again, I'm tired, I'm depressed, and I'm not at all feeling my usual motivation as though I can do it, but I want so much to get back to where I was. So today, 2 small steps.

    I have started and stopped so many times. It is hard to break years of bad habits. But I know you can do this -- 1 baby step at a time! The important thing is to never give up, and keep trying!!

    Walk/Pilates
    Try to reduce sugar intake & process food. Need to educate myself on these issues.
    Drink more water-started early this am. Need 9 cups.
    Finish grocery shopping for weekend (healthy stuff).
    Journal for 10 mins.
    Pretrack food & activity for weekend as much as possible. If I do this in advance, I'll be more apt to do it.
    Go to paint nite on full stomach so I won't go overboard on snacks.

    Ready to take on the weekend!

    Thanks Joan...it's not easy, but I really like this thread - it seems a little easier to pick a couple of small things instead of looking at the bigger (pun intended) picture!

    So JFT:

    1. Drink 5 glasses of water (I met my goal of 4 yesterday)
    2. Log everything
    3. Not beat myself up if I go a little over in calories (focus more on the logging)

    4. Be nice to myself and my friends
    5. Finish at least one homework assignment

    J4T Friday... I will go to the gym and work out after work. I will also take my son for a short walk. I will enjoy the food I eat and not feel guilty, while recording it.
