You know what I realized? I haven't felt GUILTY about my eating in a couple of months! Not that I haven't screwed up and eaten the wrong things, but focusing on positive goals and moving on each day has taken away a sense of guilt that I have been carrying for a really long time. I wonder how much 40 years of guilt weighs? I definitely feel lighter with it gone!

I like that bri170! Congrats on feeling more positive!
Well, I stayed under my calories, but I was too tired to go for a walk after work. I only ate some sugar free jello from the kitchen during work other than what I brought to eat. So that was great!
so Just for today:
1) Stay under my calories
2) Get in at least an hour of exercise
3) Try not to feel so fatigued- I have a cold.
4) Get in 6-8 glasses of water
5) Work on my crochet.
Everyone have a great day!!!0 -

Getting really sick of this just deleting what I've written. There was more under both quote posts above.... can't be bothered to write for a 3rd time....
Essentially am back on track after having a poor week last week and putting on a lb.
Tuesday's goal:
Stay under net calories
That's it.0 -
I love seeing these goals! I love the emotional ones, like staying positive, being happy. Important things to think about beyond just the scale and diet...
Today was to not eat sweets or snack after dinner- achieved!
Tomorrow:
- Avoid sweets
- get outside for a walk
I think what helped me achieve the goal was working out first thing in the morning and having food generally prepped and ready. Also, having a game plan- i actually ate some food in the car because of one kids baseball practice right during dinner time. I felt a little embarrassed eating in the car, but I know myself, and if I go past a certain point of hunger, I just let myself go and succumb to sweets and other poor choices. This way, I could come home from the 1.5 hour practice with energy to get the kids fed, bathed, read stories etc, instead of stuffing my face.0 -

Didn't post my goals yesterday and did ok with food but then had 3 alcoholic drinks b/c my cramps were so bad (sorry, tmi) and that put me over my calories and up on the scale. No beating myself up, I'm just back to drinking my water today!
Today:
log everything!
eat with intention, no mindless eating!
enjoy the day, live in the moment!(this has a profound effect on how my eating goes for the day as well as my heart & soul)
no eating after dinner

That is sooooooooooooooo exciting!!! Congratulations to you--what an incredible accomplishment!!!! Go, go, go!! Hopefully you have something quite fun (non-food) set up as a reward for that one.
And I think I'm going to lose what I've typed here if I go to a previous page to find my last post, so I'll do my JFT's on the next one.
