    JFT 9/10
    1. Eat within my calorie limit - done
    2. Workout - Insanity Max 30 - done - was able to do more of the workout without modification so making progress
    3. No drinking alcohol - done
    4. Take a walk once it cools down this evening - done
    5. Do not dwell on negative thoughts; just work through them and don't give up - good day yesterday; felt really positive after getting in my workout.

    JFT 9/11
    Rinse and repeat.

    Been gone a couple of days, nice to read and get caught up on everyone's goals.
    JFT Fri
    Bike 30 min
    Drink 8 glasses of water
    Stay below calorie allottment
    Peaceful thoughts

    Ulrite958 my plateau busting diet is a very low calorie (900) diet, and increase exercise and increase water. After a week or two of this I find I am not as hungry as I was and can eat less and still be satisfied .

    Yesterday Thursday, 9/9
    1. No eating while sewing. Stop sewing if I want to munch. :)
    2. Drink more water. I forget how much better we feel when we are hydrated. :/
    3. read success stories. :)
    4. Log every bite :):/:/ I logged everybite, including the dairy queen buster bar. Hubby brought home a 6 pack. I did OK most of the evening with my water, but at 9pm ate one. But I am going to not let this stop me. My calories were over 2000, but I will try and think of this as an entire week, and not just one bad day, but 4 good days, and 1 bad day so far this week.

    JFT, Friday 9.10
    1. remember water
    2. Look at the entire week, not just each individual day. I had a bad day yesterday, with giving into sweets and 2 glasses of wine, but my other days were good.
    3. Try and get in a long walk today to make up for my buster bar last nite.
    4. no matter what I eat, log it!!

    5. Reflect on 14 years ago today -- and never take life for granted. Enjoy every moment, everyday.

    Forgot to report back on Thursday and set goals for Friday.
    Thursday can be summarised by "wow I pigged out"
    Friday can be summarised by "Nice recovery and hit goals" (the recovery was from a potential disaster on the calorie front.... went for a coffee after bootcamp. Arrived a few mins after my friends to find they'd ordered me a cappuccino (I normally drink calorie free black coffee) and a huge slice of banana cake)

    Proud of my choices for rest of the day and have come in on target. :)

    Saturday's goals:
    - complete my house jobs list so I can completely relax on Sunday
    - good food choices AND I will allow myself to have a scone at the teashop in the afternoon and a glass of wine in the evening
    - :)

    Is there a particular format to this or is it just whatever we want to say?
    It's a bit late in the day, but I still have goals to meet.

    1. Not to exceed 1500 calories today because it was a bit of a lazy day. (so far so good)
    2. Continue drinking water and avoiding diet soda. (that stuff is one hell of an addiction)
    3. Do my stretching routine before bed.
    4. Get to bed earlier and try to get quality sleep

    Tuesday:
    1. 10,000 steps :(
    2. swim a mile :(
    3. under 100G carbs :)

    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 carbs

    Good for you for listening to your body. Sometimes we just need more rest. I feel guilty for taking a nap & I have to remind myself how beneficial they are! Plus, I snack on sweets when I'm tired. Hope you feel better.

    Ha ha, I am actually not ALLOWED to take naps due to my brain injury/sleep disorder. I've been doing it off an on though lately and that is probably part of why I am having trouble.

    Going to bed early sometimes is probably not a horrible idea though!

    I met my calorie goal and avoided soda but the rest didn't really happen.

    So today my goals are basically the same. Only if I have trouble sleeping I want to try to remain calm about it and not let anxiety make it worse.
