I like what @raptor2763 wrote ---- DO what I know I am suppose to do. So simple, yet so true.
SO JFT
1. drink water!!!!!!
2. log all food
3. get out and walk, or go to the gym
4. DO WHAT I AM SUPPOSE TO DO
Another nite of not getting to sleep until 3am, so I am exhausted. Worrying about my daughter, too much to do, leads to unhealthy eating. I had bought some ice cream sandwich bars because they were on sale. I know not to do this, because I eat them until they are gone. It is just not worth buying them.
I want to try and make a challenge to you all about water. I know I for one struggle with drinking enough water. Would anyone like to join me, in challenging ourselves to drink at least 6 glasses of water a day, and posting it here?
I know water helps us to lose weight, keeps us hydrated, and makes us feel better. So anyone want to join me in this challenge?
Tomorrow I will post how many glasses of water I drank - love to challenge each of you that struggle with water. Also, those of you who are able to drink water - what helps you in this?

great job! One day at a time!0 -
Just for today:
1. Push through the leftover soreness and crush power leg day
2. Meet all protein and calorie goals guiltlessly - it's bulking season, it's okay to refeed your body
3. Make time for family. Even if it means cutting sets down to 3 instead of 4.
Just for tomorrow:
1. Hit the gym early and smash 25-minutes of cardio, plus abs and arms
2. Clean the house without being a crazy person even though you're gonna be exhausted after that 5AM wake-up call (plus commute and work)1 -
@joan6630 I usually don't have a problem getting my water in, but the BF does. Here are somethings that can help:
Large container with the total amount of water you want to drink in it. (then you can see how much you have to drink.)
Buy flavoring for the water, such as Mio, Crystal light, or other flavoring.
Get a water bottle with an infuser in it, add fruit for a light flavoring.
Consider other options for hydrating, such as a decaf (Or caffeinated) tea.
Drink water at the same time everyday, making it a habit. As soon as you get up drink a glass of water, before you work out drink two glasses, drink another one when you are finished, on your way to work drink a glass, break time drink a glass, lunch drink two. You do this enough it will be a habit, and certain actions will trigger you to drink.
Hope you guys find this helpful.1 -

Thank you! I will try that. I like the idea of making it a habit!1 -
My first time posting in this thread! I LOVE this concept- it's what I've been following for the 5.5 weeks and I've lost 12.7lbs.
That being said, my goals for today are:
-1 gallon of water (I'm 3/4 of the way there!)
-Keep both breakfast and lunch smaller so I can enjoy a salad and a drink out with a close family member tonight (looking good! almost 1000 calories left going into late afternoon)
-Get to bed before midnight (we'll see how that goes... I'm a terrible bedtime person)1 -
Today : 1. Do not eat not a single redvine on coworkers desk. 2. No alcohol tonight. 3. Pack gym bag for tomorrow am workout. If I accomplish #2, then #3 is easy. Hardest - Tomorrow : get up at 4 am and actually go to the gym.1

Another day on track within my personal goals 0

My impetus for recent ennui and meh attitude is gone. This is good thing. I just need to re-engage my desire and ability to care about making progress on improving my health. So on that note, let's start small & see how it goes.
1. brush /floss before bed
2. no after dinner munchies1 -

J4T, Wednesday, 9/28
1. Healthy choices
Did great until my trigger time at 8pm again. I can't seem to get past that time at night! UGH.
2. Journal
3. HYDRATE Having lots of trouble getting in water. Even now at 11a.m. as I type this, I'm drinking coffee instead of water.
4. Activity
5. Finish up some handouts for class
6. One random act of kindness
Yesterday was not a good day. Received news that one of my best friends of over 40 years passed during the night. Total shock. Only in her 50's. I guess I didn't care about too much after that call.
Today is a new day and every single day is to be cherished. So here goes!
J4T, Thursday, 9/29
1. Eat healthy
2. Journal every bite
3. Drink at least six 8 oz glasses of water
4. Spend at least 1 hour standing at my desk today
5. Think before I speak eliminating "foot in mouth" disease
6. Be grateful for all the wonderful things in my life that I take for granted
7. Random Act of Kindness

Thank you! I will try that. I like the idea of making it a habit!
Thanks for the tips to hydrate, jdelaroy! I also love the idea of making it a habit. The other one that caught my attention was filling up a container with the amount I need to drink each day. Great idea! Funny how something that seems so simple is just so difficult for some of us!
@joan6630 : I will join your water challenge. I will try for 6 glasses today too! 0 -
Jumping in where I am (I think that's the spirit of this thread?).
Yesterday was Wednesday, and my goals were to:
stay within my net cals
take the dog for a walk
turn out light early
Yesterday's outcome: I was under my calories, barely; did 3k walk/jog with Blue; but I didn't turn out my light until after 11pm. I also did over 10k steps.
Today, Thursday, my goals are to:
stay within my net cals
take the dog for a walk
turn out my light before 10:30pm
no alcohol at my social event tonight2
