After a long absence, I am trying to get back into this. It has been a hard month. Our 38 yr old daughter moved out on tuesday into her own apartment. She has pretty severe mental illness, so we are not sure how long it will last, but we are hoping it will last awhile. It gives my husband and I, and our daughter, all a break from one another. Her apartment is less than 5 miles from us, so that is the good thing, as I can check on her often. We are hoping this will also give her some hope. No 38 yr old feels good living with mom and dad.
So now, I have to learn to let go, pray that all goes OK, and concentrate on getting myself healthy again.
so jft
1. drink water
2. log all food
3. think positive, and turn it over to God
4. get out for a long walk

This is a continuation of a thread I started a thread late October, and another one in January and February, to try to stay on track, "JUST FOR A DAY".
We have had over 500 replies each month, so I am going to restart this each month. This has helped me tremendously, to start each day new. It has kept me going, and to keep on trying, one day at a time. And, I've met some wonderful friends along the way! Reading others goals for just one day has given me so much inspiration and goals to set for myself.
If I can do this for JUST ONE DAY, well, maybe that one day will lead to another day, an entire week, an entire month, and this will help me to develop better habits for my life, taking this one day at a time.
So each day I am going to post what I would like to accomplish. While I post my "Just for today" list, I am also going to post how I did the day before, so I am accountable to you guys as well.
Would anyone like to join me!! I am always so encouraged reading others goals, and together, we can all reach our goals for 2015 and beyond. I hope to keep doing this, starting a new thread each month.
March is a new month, a fresh start!

Hi everyone, I am new to MFP as of today and am excited about this new journey. Having never had weight issues before, (I'm 56 and 5'9" tall, luckily) I find myself about 35 pounds heavier seemingly overnight! I have always been active playing tennis and dancing (swing, ballroom, disco) until a couple of years ago. As I became more of a homebody in the evenings, this bad habit really put on the weight. I have never had to diet, nor count calories, but I am determined to do whatever it takes to feel in my "normal" weight again. I do now, however, play pickleball at least 3 - 4 times a week which helps keep my cardio workouts going. I find it hard to stay motivated to be active after working a full-time office job during the weekdays. Sharing your stories of struggles and victories help all of us with our journey toward healthier living. I found MFP through a tennis friend and her daughter who looks amazing after having lost 70 pounds, which I found totally motivating and a became a believer in this weight loss method. A big motivator for me is an upcoming pickleball tournament, the 1st Ever US Open for Pickleball, and I really want to be in great shape to play and look my best. April 28 is not far away!0

I stuck to my previous goals over the weekend. Going into this week feeling strong and determined and motivated.
JFT:
* I will continue to avoid my wine fridge and rack...regardless of stress factors.
* I will stick to my workout plan (even try to get in an extra walk or workout if time permits).
* I will not get frustrated with lack of immediate visual results but find reassurance in the fact that change is coming because I'm doing ALL the things that are required to achieve it.0 -

Welcome back, @joan6630.
Weekend went good overall. Had an impromptu dinner at my house for the family but had went bike riding for a few hours earlier in the day so didn't do too much damage. The whole week last week was kind of jacked up with a total deficit of around 900 calories.
JFT, 3/21
1. Walk the dogs
2. Stay within weight-loss calories
3. Workout if possible during the day today - having something at our house tonight so no time after work

Great Idea.
Just for today I will try to finally reach that 10,000 gal on my walking app.0
