    1. Log everything I eat
    2. Drink 4 glasses of water

    I'm getting started yet again, I'm tired, I'm depressed, and I'm not at all feeling my usual motivation as though I can do it, but I want so much to get back to where I was. So today, 2 small steps.

    Your goals for today are clear and simple. I'm sure you can do it - for youself- because you are worth the effort!

    JFT 11/05

    :( 1. Stay within maintenance calories.
    :( 2. Get in 10k steps.
    :( 3. Figure out next workout program.

    Yesterday was an epic fail all the way around. Got back home and really blew it. Not sure what happened. I can break even this week if I pull a deficit next couple of days so that's the plan.

    JFT, 11/06

    1. Stay within weight loss calories.
    2. Get in a cardio workout, burning at least 300 calories.
    3. Walk the dogs.
    4. Figure out next workout program.
    5. Do not drink any alcohol!!!

    J4T Thursday
    1. Get up early enough to put together breakfast lunch and snack to take with me to work :smile:
    2. Focus on sticking to calorie goals one meal at a time :smile: Did an especially good job at this today. Twice I had too much food on my plate and made the decision to leave it.
    3. Work out at gym :
    4. Walk and / or jog at least 5 miles - only did weights, no cardio today.

    J4T Friday

    My husband and I are celebrating today! For the first time in our 34 years together....I WEIGH LESS THAN HIM! Silly, I know, but it makes me very happy!

    1. Take breakfast lunch and snack with me to work
    2. Walk and / or jog at least 5 miles
    3. Focus on sticking to calorie goals one meal at a time

    This is a GREAT NSV! Leaving food on our plate - great job!
    And congrats on weighing less than your husband. My husband does not know how much I weigh :)

    I have started and stopped so many times. It is hard to break years of bad habits. But I know you can do this -- 1 baby step at a time! The important thing is to never give up, and keep trying!!

    JFT
    Walk/Pilates
    Try to reduce sugar intake & process food. Need to educate myself on these issues.
    Drink more water-started early this am. Need 9 cups.
    Finish grocery shopping for weekend (healthy stuff).
    Journal for 10 mins.
    Pretrack food & activity for weekend as much as possible. If I do this in advance, I'll be more apt to do it.
    Go to paint nite on full stomach so I won't go overboard on snacks.

    Ready to take on the weekend!

    Thanks Joan...it's not easy, but I really like this thread - it seems a little easier to pick a couple of small things instead of looking at the bigger (pun intended) picture!

    So JFT:

    1. Drink 5 glasses of water (I met my goal of 4 yesterday)
    2. Log everything
    3. Not beat myself up if I go a little over in calories (focus more on the logging)

    J4T Friday... I will go to the gym and work out after work. I will also take my son for a short walk. I will enjoy the food I eat and not feel guilty, while recording it.
