I will stay under my calorie goal and make good choices for my meals
I will work out for 40 minutes
I will reinforce my wellness mantra
I am expressing my gratitude for my life. On the flight into Dallas, the lady next to me on the plane was airsick and threw up on my shirt. Two couples with their kids across the aisle and the two rows behind me. One lady berated and belittled her husband the entire flight. Beaten man... Me, I've been traveling for a long, long time and after 23 years of marriage my lovely bride still sends me off with a love note in my briefcase. Despite the wild flight, she made my day. I have a good life.
Good day yesterday.
Under my calorie goal and make good choices despite a few weak moments.
Worked out for 38 minutes.
Reinforced my wellness mantra twice
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal for the day. Going out for TexMex with friends for dinner.
I will work out for 40 minutes
I will express my wellness mantra
I am expressing gratitude for MFP. For years I tried to give myself "points" or some other system for making solid food and exercise choices. MFP makes this easy to track calories in and out.

I will keep calm and not freak myself out or work myself out about my driving test on Friday. I'm not a horrible driver just not good yet either. Passing would be awesome and what I really want, but failing the driving test the first time is not a big deal. Very Inconvienent and very annoying, but not the end of the world and is not an overall sign of failure. Accept it and move on by learning from my mistakes, practice some more, and reschedule the test again as soon as possible.
You'll get there! As with many struggles in our lives, we're just not "there" YET. Key word "YET".0 -

2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning
Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing
What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?
I do all sorts of crafts, paint watercolours, write poetry. I am an ex-teacher, so I run 4 groups for a local charity and belong to another 10 or so, but will have to put them on hold until I recover from my hip op. I have a new patchwork project, my first full quilt, which I hope will keep me busy.

Yesterday went well, especially tracking. I waited a little too late for my walk & got caught in the worst of the heat! Lesson learned...
JFT
Walking early today.
Very active today so I'll have to be diligent about drinking water.
Eat fruit for each snack.
Get some important paperwork done.
Start project for church.
Prep supper (already tracked).
Read an inspirational blog.
In bed by 9:30.
Listened to a great podcast that discussed maintaining healthy habits & I have to ask myself "can I sustain the habits I'm trying to adopt for the next 30 years"? If yes, then it's a wise choice.

Yesterday 9.8
1. NO eating in my sewing room -- REplace this habit with a good habit.
After first eating 1/2 of a bagel, then a yogurt, I remembered to grab my water and drink. that at least stopped me from eating more. I know this is just a awful habit of grabbing food in the evening!
2. Drink water in the evenings to keep from snacking
3. get in a 40 minute walk or bike ride tonite! Had to run errands, and then just never got out tonite. Probably my problem with the food eating also.
JFT, Wednesday, 9/9
1. NO eating in my sewing room. Have my water ready! Replace this habit with drinking water.
2. No matter how tired I am today, walk or ride my bike.
3. I was awake last nite until 4am, so I know this will be a harder day food-wise. I tend to want to eat when I am tired. Take a short nap instead of eating!
4. Be grateful for my health, and never take it for granted. Work at becoming a healthier me.
5. Read success stories.0 -

This is a great thing to think about. Maintaining can be so hard unless we incorporate these habit while losing. It is not a diet, but a lifestyle change. thank you Sara for helping us all remember this!

This made me laugh, then smile! Wow - what a flight you had. But also, what a lovely thing for your wife to send you off with a note! I have been married for 38 years, I am so very grateful for all that I have. So much to be grateful for.
And, I hope your next flight is not so eventful!

Oh Joan I like your 3,4,5 JFT goals for today...I too easy when I'm tired...so take a nap! I don't know why I deny myself that...and being grateful for the health I have...reading success stories are a two edged sword bit I do like talking to real people dealing with real struggles!

Well, yesterday was a complete wash. Wasn't feeling well, so I stayed home to watch NOVA documentaries and then went to sleep early. I've really been dragging lately and I am not sure why. I'm having a bit of a fibro flare, but it really isn't bad enough to use as an excuse. Today I really need to whip myself into shape!
Wednesday:
1. 10,000
2. swim a mile
3. under 100G carbs0 -

- double bootcamp and work hard
- avoid having ANY biscuits at my sister's
- hit calorie target or under
**Sigh**
Yes to double bootcamp and pushing it
Hmmmm. Had 1 biscuit at sister's and resisted more
A bit over on calories despite double bootcamp. Basically. ... on bootcamp days I don't eat before class (or maybe half a glass of home juiced vegs). On double class days that means I eat breakfast around 12, have a very light snack lunch around 2 or 2.30 then a smallish dinner as still have food in my system.
Today drove straight from bootcamp to my sister's 1 hour away. So my first meal was lunch at 1pm. I was still in calorie deficit after lunch. Blood sugar drops late afternoon and I'm starving... hence the biscuit. Left at 7 to drive home... still v hungry so bought some snack biscuits on way home. Felt a bit better. Then had a light dinner.
But the snack took me over where I planned to be today.
Learning:
On bootcamp days I MUST eat more than just an apple after class and make sure I get 3 (small) meals to keep my energy up. Not eating is actually making me eat more!!
