    Today:
    1. Log everything. Even if I go over.
    2. Come back and post here tomorrow.
    3. Be happy with my body right now! Just because I'm working on getting healthy, doesn't mean my body deserves to be dosrespected by me. :)

    Good luck everyone.

    Friday:
    1. Track all food :)
    2. under 100G carbs :)
    3. weight workout :)
    4. 100 situps :neutral: 20 at home on exercise ball, 20 on one gym aparatus, 50 on another=90
    5. 12+ glasses water

    OK, I have learned that while I can do 100 situps, I cannot do 100 situps EVERY day. Hopefully, what I have done will help me look slightly better in my Halloween costume (flamenca--skirt is meant for someone with a flat belly) tonight.

    Saturday:
    1. Track food
    2. under 100G carbs
    3. 3+ hours Latin dancing (mostly bachata tonight)
    4. 12+ cups water

    Just for today, I will eat more vegetables. I was going to say that just for today, I won't obsess over the scale, but that would be a lie.

    Just for the day I am going to enjoy the special day that is Halloween and my birthday. I will indulge, but not to excess, but celebrate the day as intended (by eating candy and birthday cake). Then, tomorrow I will live the day like a regular day (because it is) and put the indulgences away until the next special day.

    I am new to this thread - the title makes me smile - when I was a little girl in Catholic school we had to sing a hymn every morning that was called Just for Today!
    JFT I will measure and track everything and when I reach for food outside of meal times I will stop to think about why I am doing it, hunger, emotion, habit, exhaustion and look for an alternative.

    I think I succeeded yesterday. I may have eaten 5 more pieces. If I was smart I would have left the wrappers out so I could keep count. Despite struggling for the last few months, I found out this morning that I regained less than my husband and currently weigh less than him (which hasn't happened very often in our relationship). I would like to keep weighing less than him, so I'm hoping this work for some new motivation/inspiration. I know, I know being happy at someone else's struggles is not nice, but it's a nice feeling all the same.

    track all food
    No Capes Workout
    15 minute walk at lunch
    sweep/mop first floor
