    I have been doing so well since I started on a strict meal plan in January, but that motivation is faltering big time now. I need to find some sort of motivation and strength to get back on track. I have not been seeing the results I'd like to and that's making it hard to keep going. However, I need to start remembering that I don't have much to lose so it's going to take longer to see the small changes I'm seeking. This may be the start to help me get back on track. Great idea!

    Just for today, I will:
    * NOT drink any wine after work (no matter what "presents" the dog has left for me, no matter how stressful the commute.
    * ONLY have what is planned out on my food tracker, and not a single sip or bite more.
    * NOT weigh nor measure myself.
    * focus on the progress I've made since the beginning of the year, NOT the images of what I WISH I looked like.

    NEW DAY!

    I got my hair cut short, above my sholders, this weekend for the first since I was in 9th grade. Now it's like I'm walking around in someone else's body, with someone else's hair! Very strange feeling, but everyone keeps telling me I look great...so I'm going with that!

    Time for a new pic! :smile:

    I didn't get my arm workout yesterday, but due to some impromptu changes, I got 12,000 steps, which is the most so far this year!

    JFT I will not eat any of the yummy foods at our international fair today, but rather will eat the snacks I have already tracked and brought to school with me.

    Have a great day, everyone!

    I totally caved so I could finish my bottle of wine. Didn't want to waste (facepalm).

    Anyhow...last night, I mentally recommitted to this process and it's about to go down for reals! Started my day with a 3am jog and an upper body weight training session. After work, I'm going to get my Max 30: Tabata Strength workout in. Going to be a good day!

    JFT:
    1) I will only eat what is on my food tracker (not a sip or a bite more).
    2) I will not weigh nor measure myself.
    3) I will focus on the progress I've made since the beginning of the year, NOT any faltering I've done or the images of what I wish I looked like.

    Good morning! I was able to resist the food at our international market event at school yesterday. YAY!

    JFT 3/18:
    I will get to my "burn this many calories" goal. I am realizing that sometimes even though I get enough to meet my "step" goal, I still haven't burned enough calories.

    I followed the "rules" I set for myself yesterday. Feeling motivated and very proud. Ready to take on some serious challenges. :)

    JFT (actually, these are going to have to be sentiments meant for the full weekend as I probably won't be logging on Saturday & Sunday):

    * I will not talk negatively about my body image (ie: I feel fat; I'm gross) -- GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE
    * I will refrain from indulging in any foods or drinks that are not in my pre-planned diary.
    * I will continue to follow my workout schedule, as predetermined.
    * I will write down motivational quotes and post them where easily viewed if my motivation starts to weaken.
