    - walk to the dentist even if it's raining

    1. Walk the dogs :)
    2. Do not wipe out my entire week's deficit!! Going to dinner and then Phantom of the Opera. Make good food choices and limit myself to 2 glasses of wine - no cocktails! :)Came in under maintenance calories for the day so did very well. Just a 6 oz. filet, a few green beans, and 2 glasses Malbec. Yay, me! Oh, and the show was awesome, too!

    - Leave by 5.15 in order to get to church for 6 :)

    JFT, Monday 9/26

    1. Make healthy food choices and journal every bite :/ Did really good until about 8:00...my evening snack time. Freshly made Rice Krispie treats sitting on the counter that my husband made for our granddaughter and I couldn't resist anymore. Had two of them. Dang it!
    2. Teach my morning class with a smile and be grateful for my job, not crabby because it is Monday and I'm tired! :D My class went off without a hitch and I got really good reviews on the post-class survey the students do. Made my day!
    3. Hydrate with water! :/ Not so good. Try harder. Daily struggle since I don't much like water.
    4. Activity today either by walking, biking or at the gym :/ Does grocery shopping count? sigh
    5. Meal plan for the week when I get home tonight ;) Well, I did plan for today's breakfast and lunch so kinda...
    6. One random act of kindness :) Yup.

    J4T, Tuesday 9/27

    1. Stick to healthy choices and journal it
    2. Hydrate, water, water, water
    3. Get one of my side projects done at work so I feel like I accomplished something!
    4. Go to the gym tonight and ride stationary bike. Bad ankle and knee are no excuse not to find a form of exercise!

    6. Take Kendra shopping for Senior pictures outfits

    I've noticed in my reports that while my calories are (generally) okay, my fat intake is often crazy high! So - for today:
    • Limit the amount of fat I am eating (step away from the peanut butter!)
    • Take the kids for a walk/run after I get home from volunteer thing at 7
    • Do push ups and ab work - even a little will help at this point
    • Pack gym clothing for tomorrow's lunch spin class
    • Lights out at 9:45

    To paraphrase Yoda (we just watched Star Wars with the kids for the first time) Do not try. DO!

    NOT a good day yesterday - had a free lunch which threw me a bit because I hadn't planned for it. Then in the evening - perhaps because the day had already 'gone wrong' I ended up eating the crisps I bought yesterday because 'when they're done they're done'. Two lessons to learn from this:

    - I have to be prepared for unexpected food surprises and not automatically give up when (or after) being confronted by them
    - If I end up with fattening food in the house, I shouldn't just eat it to 'get it out of the way' but should hide it and save it (or let boyfriend eat it!)

    Yesterday's commitments -

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - No alcohol :/ Alcohol was accompanied by gin so need to have another no booze day instead
    - No unhealthy snacks :/
    - Stay within calories :/
    - Have a 30+ minute lunch break - go for a walk if not raining :/ Lunchtime meeting prevented this
    - Exercise class after work :)
    - Plan when to do stress course homework :| haven't really planned properly, but have put a reminder in calendar for Sat a.m.

    Today's commitments - going to a friend's for dinner:

    - Log everything I eat AT THE TIME
    - No unhealthy snacks
    - do not let / encourage friend to make massive portions
    - take fruit to eat for pudding
    - drink a sugar-free drink for every alcoholic drink
    - Have a 30+ minute lunch break - go outside
    - Exercise class after work

    So, I'm not loving this workout program I'm doing so considering stopping it and doing something else. It's no fun working out when you hate every minute.

    I know what I'm supposed to do. Just do it for one day. Just once. Tomorrow is another day and we'll deal with it then. For right now, however, do what you're supposed to.

    Yesterday was so, so.
    Went over calories but got control in the evening.
    Didn't drink all the water
