    1.) Cardio at lunch (done)

    JFT -
    Yesterday was a struggle to get my "exercise tonight" goal in, I did it and firmly believe it is because I had committed to it here ( as well as drinking all the water). Why it is easier to keep my commitments to others (I don't even know) but can't to myself is beyond me. So, here is today's
    1) Stick to my eating plan
    2) Stick to my exercise plan
    3) Get a whooping cough vaccine (my daughter - soon to be Mom wants this)
    4) Take stairs at least 3 X at work
    5) Drink at least 40 oz of water at work and 60 oz at home

    Goals went good yesterday but did not get in the upper body workout. Shooting for today.

    1.) embrace how good I feel after 2 weeks of eating better and regular exercise. The scale was down 2 lbs this morning & I feel so much more energy.
    2.) legs and arms at gym today
    3.) help my friend paint her living room after work
    4.) be productive at work today and put in 110%

    have a great Tuesday everyone!

    Deep breathing!! Meditate.
    Walk
    Drink 9 cups of water
    Preplan meals for week
    Track everything
    Be patient with my children

    I need to ask myself what I can do differently to make tomorrow better.

    I really took yesterday's list to heart & this morning was so much better.
    JFT
    Walk & soak up as much Vitamin D as I can.
    Listen to a podcast while walking.
    Pickup some fruits & veggies at market.
    9 cups of water.
    Laundry.
    Errands.
    Yoga.
    Early to bed.
    Kids have a 1/2 day so I'm cramming in as much as possible before they return. We may splurge & go see a matinee.
    I hope to catch up on our posts tonight b/c I haven't had time to read them! You're all an inspiration.

    JFT Tuesday
    Take care of my back. I think I slept a long time on my back last night and n ow my lower back is killing me. Easy walking, some stretching, painkiller and a hot bath when I get home are in order. Right now I'm just trying to keep it warm and supported while still trying to move around some, so I don't have it lock up from lack of motion. I didn't realize it was this bad when I left forwork this morning so I don't have any pain killers with me.

    Log my food

    Those of you with chronic back problems, my hat is off to you for actually getting stuff done especially exercising as I'm barely functioning from the pain.

    JFT, Monday, 1/11
    1. No sugar, low carbs :):)
    2. Drink water :):)
    3. Remember - do NOT weigh myself. Keeping healthy is not about the numbers on the scale :)
    4. Write in gratitude journal :)


    JFT, Tues, 1/12
    1. DO NOT WEIGH myself. Being successful is not about the numbers on the scale
    2. No sugar, low carbs
    3. Drink water
    4. Write in gratitude journal
    5. Sew up 4 more chemo hats tonite
    6. clean house
    7. put meat in crockpot


    Yesterday I did SO much better. I think of what all of you wrote, and how this is baby steps. Like @bri170lb said, we need to commit to becoming healthy. I can commit to doing this for 1 day at a time! Last nite I drank a lot of water, and did not snack. I think once I have even a bowl of popcorn, it gets the craving started, and then I blow the entire day.

    SO hoping everyone has a great day today! We can all do this -- we are important!
