    J4T Thursday
    1. Plan dinner :smile:
    2. Take breakfast lunch and snack with me to work :smile:
    3. Stick to calorie goals one meal at a time :smile: did great all the way til after dinner and ate about 450 more calories than I should have. I'm still under when my exercise is added in, but I shouldn't have eaten when I wasn't really hungry.
    4. Gym in evening :smile:

    J4T Friday
    1. Be careful to stick to calorie goals. No eating when bored. No grabbing something out of the pantry. No late night snacking.
    2. Finish putting away the Christmas decorations.
    3. Zumba in evening.

    Jft Fri 1/15
    -wash, dry, fold and put away laundry
    -90 oz of water (yesterday not so good)
    -lost .8 lbs last week. Be happy with it. I feel better after two weeks. It's a marathon not a sprint.

    Yesterday was the first day this week I had a slip and didn't meet my commitments. My exercise was on, I worked late and missed my steps by about 1500. My husband out of town and I raided the candy jar. The candy wasn't on my plan when I logged first thing in the a.m. but I did end up tracking it. Drank all my water and used the stairs.

    So JFT
    1. Stick with the eating plan I have prelogged
    2. Stick with my exercise plan and use the stairs at work
    3. Drink all my water
    4. Get over yesterday's candy incident

    JFT, 10/14

    1. Stay within calories :)
    2. Straight to the gym after work for cardio :) Awesome elliptical workout, 45 minutes, intervals, actually kind of sore today
    3. Walk the dogs :/ poor doggies
    4. No alcohol o:)

    JFT, 10/15

    1. Stay within calorie limits
    2. Walk the dogs
    3. Strength workout: Lean Circuit 3
    4. No alcohol

    So, prepping for a trip to Tahoe next week. Monday-Sunday. I hear the snow is awesome this year so hoping to get 3-4 days of boarding in. Going with a group and staying in a rental house so downside is lots of food and alcohol. Ack.

    1. 75 oz water
    2. Track everything
    3. Wear my Fitbit
    4. Do not let the success on the scale dictate choices today. There is no room for self-sabatoge. Keep my eye on the goal. 10% = 250.2 lbs. Put in the work now so I can enjoy my first achievement reward.
    5. Decide on 1st reward today.
    6. Weigh in on Friday.

    Just for Today Jan 15/16
    1. 75 oz water
    2. Track everything
    4. Do not let my first 10% goal reached AND the fact that it's Friday AND I'm sick... Dictate my choices today. Think before eating. Remember my goals. This is only 10% achieved - still 90% to go!!
    5. If I am going to indulge, plan for it and balance it throughout the day with awesome choices!
    6. Remember: Being sick is not an excuse to binge. It means I need to take BETTER care of myself than usual.

    Hey Joan...Just a suggestion...

    Is there a protein rich snack that would work for you in the evening instead of popcorn?

    Popcorn does the same thing to me that you are dealing with, it makes me HUNGRY, so I try not to have it at night.

    How about a protein bar, a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder, an apple and nut butter, nuts or yogurt?

    Popcorn is so hard to resist 'cause it smells so damn good, but if you had a ready supply of protein snacks to fight with, maybe you can beat it!

    Love ya!

    Thanks @bri170lb . I try to eat protein at meals - just never thought of eating protein in the evening. Thanks for the suggestion!

    thursday, 1/14
    1. no sugar, low carbs :/
    2. drink water throughout the day. :)
    3. after dinner, keep my glass of water with me, and drink it :)
    4. Beautiful day out today - go for a long walk :)
    5. try and get my daughter to go to the store with me. She is isolating herself more, and need to really concentrate on trying to get her out more. :/
    6. Write in gratitude journal :/

    I SO went over my calories yesterday, but I still did OK. It was a beautiful day out, so I spent the entire day cleaning the garage, taking things to Goodwill, etc. Then I went out for my walk. Got home, and hubby suggested we go out to eat since I will be gone all next week. We ended up going to a mexican restaurant -- it was so good! But, I had a margarita (have not had one of those in ages!), and a chicken buritto, refried beans, rice. I should have put 1/2 of my meal in a to-go box right away, as I ended up eating the entire meal. And, was totally stuffed when we got home. But I logged in my calories as over 2000 just for that meal, so I was way over calories. But -- it was worth it. We had a good time. I have to learn that this is life. It is OK to go over, but today, I plan to get right back on track. I will not weigh myself, because I know my weight will be way up.

    JFT, Friday 1/15
    1. eat lightly today, but make sure to get protein in for each meal
    2. drink water
    3. make out grocery list for hubby and daughter while I am out of town
    4. go out for a long walk
    5. gratitude journal

    You are doing so great - and one day of slip up will not hurt you. And - you logged it. So great job.

    Have a great time! That sounds wonderful. You will burn tons of calories snow burning so hopefully extra food and alcohol will balance out :)

    I struggle with the negative self talk too! You are beautiful and you can do this, you are worth it. Keep on your path and you will reach your goal eventually. I took a detour the last 6 months from my path and it was not a good one!!!

    This must be pretty common because I am my own worst enemy when it comes to self-talk!!! Good reminder to be kinder to myself today. I think it's good we know we do this...it's a start anyway!
