    Yesterday I followed through with posting how I did with my goals..... Today I'm re-learning I need to post goals for the following day before I go to bed! 4:30pm was my first chance to post today.

    So, just for tonight:
    1.Drink lots of water
    2.Nothing sweet after dinner
    3.Post goals for Friday, 9/4
    4.Take a blood pressure reading

    Thursday's goals:
    - stay within 5% of net calories
    - meditate and stay calm for my dental surgery (root canal... Yuck! )
    - Remember the September goal and the wonderful connections and resources I can access to help me achieve it

    Achieved all. Am even slightly under calorie target which I find tough on non - bootcamp days. My evening trick was to spiralise a courgette into 'spaghetti' to eat with my veggie quorn sauce. Very tasty and saves a tonne of calories by avoiding pasta.

    Root canal surgery went v well thanks. Painfree while in the chair. The bill was a different matter though! And whole area aching now. Hopefully fine in a couple of days.

    Friday's goals:
    - push it at bootcamp
    - hit net calories which means minimum alcohol when out in the evening

    Once more, remind myself of the wonderful web of supportive connections I have in life. :-)

    I will stay under my net calorie goal for the 7th day in a row
    I will reinforce my wellness mantra both morning and afternoon
    I will work out for 40 minutes today
    I am expressing my gratitude for our little 16 year old dog who still wants to be on this planet

    Yup, that could have gone better.
    Didn't work out in the morning and lost a battle with the couch and college football in the evening.
    Didn't work out, was 50% over my calorie goal, didn't express my wellness mantra.

    New day.

    For today:

    I will work out for 80 minutes
    I will stay under my calorie goal and make good choices for dinner
    I will reinforce my wellness mantra
    I am expressing my gratitude for the flexibility to work from home. While I started before 6, I'll be able to work in a walk at lunch.

    The last few days I have been craving any anybody else's notice/acknowledgement that I'm losing weight and it's a good thing. The scale is not being evil and keeps showing the weight dropping at a fairly steady rate, my clothes are looser, I'm not really wanting the junk despite being lazy this week. Clearly I'm doing at least some things correctly, because those are all good improvements, however my brain is trying to screw with me in new ways. so my JFT for today and until my thoughts/mood are changed, find more ways to "prove" to myself that this is working or to just shut up my brain. Try on old clothes, push my self physically, try something new. I don't know.

    JFT 9/3:
    1. Do 15 mins of low intensity exercise
    2. Stand and stretch for 2 mins every hour (desk job = too much sitting)
    3. Drink 5 glasses of water

    I did not do the exercise. No one to blame but me!

    JFT 9/4:
    1. Go for a walk to the park after dinner
    2. Drink 5 glasses of water
    3. Complete my meal tracking for the last week in MFP

    Yesterday

    1. replace ONE bad habit with ONE good habit. Today, instead of a caffeine-free diet coke in the evening, opt for a large glass of ice water. :) Drank 3 glasses of water last nite instead of snacking.
    2. No sugar or snacking after dinner. If I am really hungry, drink water, wait 10 minutes, and if I snack at all, count out 10 nuts. :)
    3. think positive. Stress can actually force your body to hold onto weight, so try to stay stress free. Walking helps with that

    Did so much better yesterday
    JFT
    1. water
    2. Water
    3. water -- Remember, thirst, not hunger!

    I have been sitting for 2 hours catching up on my reading on this thread and a few others. What I should do, however is change my clothes and go jogging....so....so...so...

    J4T
    1. Ask my daughter if she wants to go with me.
    2. Regardless of her answer, change my clothes.
    3. Turn on my music.
    4. Jog 5k.
    5. Feel really great.

    There. Now I have to get off my lazy butt!
