    Yesterday I gave in to my chocolate cravings and went over my calories.
    Today after breakfast I'm going to the gym and running two miles and will stay under my calorie goals.

    I will strive to eat ALL of my calories in the hopes of slowing my weight loss to a sustainable rate. At least for today.

    JFT
    Another birthday!! I'm grateful to be here & healthy. Birthdays have been a time for me to reflect ever since my midthirties.

    Drink water-9 cups.
    Tracking starts out good but by midday, I'm not doing it. I'll try to track as much as possible in advance since this has been successful in the past.
    Had to cut my gym workout short today SO, I will do 40 bent knee push-ups & 60 side leg lifts at home.
    Go on short walk with daughter.
    Found some great progress articles so I hope to read a few tonight.
    Celebrating with dinner tomorrow night. Will be sure to order lots of vegetables!!
    Reflect on goals.

    Not 'new' but restarting after about 18 months of life changes that assisted in gaining back every pound I'd lost plus 20. Looking for a simple way to ease back into healthy eating and needing to take it one day at a time. I love the idea of JFT. So JFT:
    1. Log all meals
    2. Stay at/under goals
    3. Finish masters papers.

    Whitney-I'm sure you'll get the support & motivation you need from JFT. They are an awesome group. Even if I haven't checked in for some time, the group is always there & welcoming. Best wishes!

    J4T SUNDAY.
    1 Stick to calorie goals :smile:
    2. Pre log and STICK TO THE PLAN! :smile:
    3. Do not go over 1200 calories unless I have some exercise caloies. :smile:

    J4T Monday
    & a whole new month!

    1. Only weigh myself on Saturday (As I am getting closer to my goal weight, I am starting to get frustrated by the scale. I lost 6.4 pounds last month, which is exactly on track, but it felt like the scale kept going up, up ,up. So I am going to step away from the scale for a while.)

    2. Try to sneak away from work to go grocery shopping

    3. Only go over 1200 calories in the evening if I have exercise calories AND if I am actually hungry! (Another new thing to focus on for February)

    4. Remember to ask God for help when start to struggle
