Writing my daily goals down here is really helping with accomplishing them
My commitments for today
1) Work out on the elliptical
2) Eat only when hungry (no bored eating!!!)
3) Stay within 1200 calories
4) Go for an hour walk this evening
5) Stop feeling crappy about my weigh in this morning. The temporary weight gain is water weight due to TOM. It will go away soon. Cheer up!

@OConnell5483 -- Congratulations!! TWINS - how exciting!
I've been missing getting on here - the past 2 weeks have been so crazy busy, and by the time I get on here, its the end of the day and I'm ready for be (other than lurking!). So since the day is almost over, my goal is simple for today:
1. Get on here first thing in the morning to post my goals!!
But I have been eating so much healthier, and getting to the gym almost everyday. It is amazing how much better I feel when I eat healthy, and get in the exercise, and water. Still not doing so great on water though, but that will also be tomorrows goal.
Welcome all new posters! Yes, what I think works for me is to post my goals, but then get on here to say how you have done. You know, -- its being accountable to someone!
Congrats to you guys on meeting all your goals!1 -
Just for today, want to resist the urge to eat anything else although i want to until my heart is content. I burned 880 calories today and went 200 calories over goal..... I worked so hard with exercising that I felt like it was ok. Just for today.....1

Thursday 10/27
1) get some exercise
2) log my food faithfully
3) love who I am today0 -
have to get back to thinking about actually being healthier. So small JFT, paperlog all food. (I've decided to do this after already eating breakfast and making lunch without weighing and would rather not guess). The paperlog doesn't directly help with calorie counting but I does make me think about what I'm eating.0

I drank my water, got my steps and tracked my food. As for the good choices at the restaurant: sigh... I did eat good dinner items. But then... I caved and have the creme brulee. It's my favorite desert of ALL time and it was just sitting there on the menu calling out to me!

It was a rough day
I drank all my water, only got 8,500 steps and didn't go to Water Areobics. I got hit with my time of the month pretty hard and stayed home under blankets nursing a bad headache. I DID track my food and made good choices though.
Friday:
1. Drink all water (most will be tea with the way I'm feeling)
2. Get 8,000 steps (lowering my goal due to bad cramping)
3. Track all food
4. Be gentle with myself today and not beat myself up for lowering my goals
