    J4T
    Been a while since I've been on MFP, got tied up with life! Scouts with my son, church, the holidays and just being way way too busy!! I FINALLY hit onderland!!! I hit 198 at Drs office when I went in for bronchitis!!! Felt too crappy to do much of a happy dance but that was motivation baby!!!! Ok can't do water aerobics just yet, still coughing too much, but, I think I could manage some weights. So, my goals for Friday, 12/4/15 will be to do an hour of weights, do all my logging and spend an hour maybe 2 cleaning house!! Stay within my calories, get some rest!!!
    Onderland is hugely motivating!!!!

    Good day

    Expressed my wellness mantra in the morning. Didn't get to it in the afternoon
    Over my calorie budget by 240 but giving myself a pass as I was in full day meetings and a late night dinner. For the most part, made good choices.
    Worked out for 36 minutes, three day streak
    Great work day

    For today:

    I will express my wellness mantra, morning and afternoon
    I will take a swim through the MFP community before I settle in for diner
    I will stay within my calorie budget and not overindulge.
    I will work out for 60 minutes
    I am expressing gratitude for my health

    Mixed day

    Expressed the reasons I'm becoming healthier in the morning but didn't in the afternoon.
    Didn't take a dose of reinforcement by visiting MFP in the afternoon
    Worked out for 36 minutes in the morning but didn't work out in the afternoon
    Made good choices through coming home after a long day. Fell prey to the couch and chips, wound up over my calorie budget

    New day:

    I will express my wellness mantra, morning and afternoon
    I will visit MFP in the afternoon for a booster of motivation
    I will stay within my calorie budget and no overindulge
    I will work out for 69 minutes
    I am expressing gratitude for the progress I've made. Was with out of town co workers and faced the choice of walking up two high floors of stairs or taking the elevator on my own. Did the stairs, something I couldn't have done at the beginning of this year.

    Good for you for continuing to whittle away at the pounds even when life gets crazy busy!

    I am still amazed that I am under 200 and it's been a couple of months since I got there. That's a wave that you get to ride for a long time!

    Last February I restarted my WL journey and was successful until I visited family this past August. I fell off the wagon, tried hopping back on, but repeatedly fell off again and again!

    I am tired of falling off and am ready to get back on so I can reach my final destination! I love the idea of taking things day by day, so I'll try to start with this and see what happens!

    JFT 12/4/15
    1. log ALL food
    2. drink more water
    3. workout

    New to this thread and will now look forward to it daily.
    Started in September and have lost 13. The past week I have not done a good job with food choices but have continued my workouts. Consequently had my first gain:(

    So for my first JFT:
    1. Do my cardio dvd
    2. Go back to eating the way I did in the beginning- NO AFTERNOON SWEET!!!
    3. Log everything
