    1.) do cardio at lunch today :)
    2.) lift weights tonight after work: nope

    Just for today
    1.) Accept that I do not have all of the talents other have but I have my own talents and I am just as worthy:)
    2.) Cardio at lunch
    3.) weights tonight
    4.) track all my food

    I decided I am not going to use a frown face when I do not complete my goal because I am doing my best. I do not want to tear myself down and want to work on positive energy:)

    Yesterday, 3/2
    1. Log every bite that I eat - no matter what :)
    2. minimum 30 minutes exercise :) = Got in 35 minutes on the ellipitical, and went on a brief, 10 minute walk. It was cold and windy outside, but I think that walk helped with me not overeating for stress!
    3. Do not look forward and worry about the future for my daughter. :)
    4. Do not turn to food for comfort. :)


    Just for today, 3/3
    1. 30 minutes either walking or the ellipitical
    2. log everything I eat

    Goals are simple today, to just try and stay focused. I am so down because we were going to meet our son for our grandsons 9th birthday this weekend, 4 hrs away. Our daughter with mental illness is attempting to work, and whenever she does this, she quickly spirals downhill. She started a new job Monday, and even though we planned this trip 2 months ago, now she says she has to work on Friday. We cannot leave her alone. I am so disappointed, but I have to always look at the positives, and just pray that our son and grandson understands. But I will have to work at not turning to food for comfort.

    Ruby - you are so right! Even if we do not meet all our goals, we are trying, so that does not deserve a sad face. I think all of us that come on here are doing are best, and that says a lot. So very proud of everyone here!! We are all going to make it - with each others help! Sending positive vibes to everyone!

    I'm noticing so many of us struggle with the same all or nothing thinking. Me too. We did not get here with one extra snack. The problem is (or at least for me, and I think for some of you too) when I make that one poor choice, I give up and keep eating even more poor choices. I need to let myself enjoy my treat (planned or not) then climb right back up on the wagon and make better choices right away. This is the only way I can make any of this work for the rest of my life. One day at a time, one choice at a time, one tiny step at a time.

    SOOOOO TRUE! And a good way to say it. Thank you!

    Just for today, I am going to not stress at work. They can stress out someone else for a day. My eye hasn't stopped twitching for 3 days.

    Happy Birthday Grandma Jackie!!! Hope you have a great day and congratulations on the year of maintenance!
    Ruby: I agree, don't use the frowny faces! Keep doing your best!
    Taxmom: I agree, I do get in that cycle of if I make one bad choice, I just keep sliding down that slippery slope. We should enjoy the treat and move on.

    Just for today:
    1) Get in 75 total minutes of elliptical, stationary bike and walking
    2) Drink 6-8 glasses of water
    3) Stay under my 1200 calories, make better choices.

    Everyone have a great day!!

    Hi all. Got caught up last couple of days as am away with work for 3 very intense days (13 hours today).
    So quick recap of last 2 days:
    Good:
    - pushed self in bootcamp again. Making progress
    Not so good:
    - ate 3 bowls of rice krispies for breakfast. Why oh why?
    - snacked early eve while working at the hotel
    - spectacularly missed calorie goal

    Today:
    Good:
    - made time to meditate despite only 4 hours sleep
    - ok healthy hoyel breakfast and did not overeat
    - fab healthy lunch & did not overeat
    - resisted temptation to comfort eat pizza tonight and had salad. But with potato wedges

    Not so good:
    - someone left a mars bar on my desk at lunch. I wolfed it before I even thought about it.

    Next 2 days will be equally challenging. Hope to get more sleep tonight to help me manage it.

    Wednesday's goals:
    - 10 min meditation
    - healthy breakfast
    - no morning snack frome the hotel cake selection
    - stay within normal calorie goal + 20% (would rather succeed on an easier goal than fail at a tough one)

    Just for today: 3/3

    I forgive my mindless skipping of breakfast because I was killing financial things all day, and for that, I pretty much kick butt.. hard. I will enjoy a great dinner as almost -anything- is do-able, today.
