    For today I will express my wellness mantra out loud twice. Did one already this morning.
    For today I will stay within my calorie budget for the day
    I will work out for 30 minutes. 32 minutes already this morning, flying home tonight
    I am expressing gratitude for a coworker friend that I spent the last two days with. Great sounding board and confidant.

    Decent day:

    Expressed my wellness mantra twice
    Was over my calorie budget but improving. Three bourbons on the plane took down my commitment levels...
    Good workout. Proud of myself for getting up early and knocking it out

    For today:

    I will continue to express the reasons I'm becoming healthier. It makes a difference.
    I will stay under my calorie budget for the day.
    I will walk when I get home from work. Always have the community center track if the sidewalks are still icy
    I am expressing gratitude for the beautiful snow. I missed the shoveling part but the mountains are gorgeous today.

    JFT. - Try really hard to keep to correct food choices. Try to drink more water. Log everything.

    Good Luck Everyone.

    Does everyone have their game plan set up for the day!

    I intend to be very careful between now and Christmas Eve so that I can relax and enjoy the holiday. I want to come through this slightly lighter than I am today!

    Have a great day!

    I will get 10,000 steps,
    I will mentally prepare for my "dinner with the ladies" tonight,
    I will leave the dinner early enough and "save" enough calories to come home and have wine with my husband.

    I'm sick right now so doing anything will help

    Had soup
    Paint nails
    Shower
    Relax
    Do some type of exercise if feeling up to it
    Think of Christmas gifts to buy (haven't purchased anything yet)
    Watch a Christmas movie. Keep procrastinating on it! Haven't watched any in Dec

    Just for today, I won't eat my feelings when I get home. I'm tired and it's been a long week, usually a time that I loosen logging and eat more. But with the holidays coming I really need to stay on track if I want room for indulgence.

    So just for today instead of a second serving of dinner or candy, I will take a long hot bath. Then an early bed time.

    1. Stay within calorie limit :) Well, 14 calories over but I'm pretty sure I shared at least 14 calories worth of food with the dogs.
    2. Walk the dogs :)
    3. Strength workout: Push Circuit 3 :) Rows with 25 pound dumbbells!
    4. Short cardio workout or >10k steps :/ Nope - just tired and didn't feel like pushing it after my other workout.

    JFT, 12/19


    Well, I'm 113 days in and I'm tired out. I'm going to rest today and not worry about working out or eating within my calories. I'm not even sure I'll do any logging except quick add an estimate. We'll see how I feel. The thing is I just don't even feel like eating. I'm hungry but nothing sounds good. I'm just going to be nice to myself today, take the dogs for their morning walk and see how I feel after that.

    Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
