    So glad to get back to JFT!! Miss you all!

    Drink 9 cups of water
    Walk 45 mins
    Talk myself into going to gym -either yoga or weights.
    Pretrack as much as possible.
    Plan dinners for next 4 nights.
    Clean out some clutter in home.
    Call a good friend & my mom.
    Keep listening to podcast "Tips from the scale".
    Early to bed-9:30

    I have to set smaller goals. 40 lbs is overwhelming. I'm going to try for 5 lb increments.

    Glad to see you back. I am like you - thinking of the 40+ lbs I need to lose is overwhelming. So its one day at a time, 5 lb increments!

    Today I'm going to walk to the end of my street and RUN back.

    I proved to myself yesterday I am a runner. I can do this. I ran the small track 3x at the Y yesterday.

    Thursday:
    1. 12,000 steps :neutral: 10,356
    2. gym workout, light on weights (sore shoulder) :(
    3. ~75G carbs :)
    4. 8 freggies :neutral: skipped dinner...think I had 5-6, depending on how you count

    Decided that I needed to rest more than I needed to work out, since I did not sleep Wednesday night. Did get in quite a bit of walking though, so the day was not a total wash! Still tired and I have huge blisters on my feet, so not sure how far I will get on...

    Friday:
    1. 10,000 steps
    2. gym workout
    3. ~75G carbs

    2. Drink more water - haven't done as well this week at work :(
    3. Exercise as planned - this doesn't seem to be the problem, though admittedly some days I'd like to sit on the couch and play scrabble - but I do the exercise annyway
