Just for today I will:
Drink a few glasses of water
Go for a walk
Try to rein in the mindless eating.
Item 1-- Check! I've had 40 oz already. That's huge for me. Water is something I constantly forget about.
Item 2-- Check!
item 3-- So far so good! I planned out what I was going to eat today and have stuck to it so far!

Have not had the best 2 weeks, and my weight shows it. Its like I am starting all over again, and feel so down on myself. Why can't I learn that eating sugary things will not help my daughter, will not help me with the stress that goes along with her illness, something I am unable to control.
So again, I am keeping it simple. I am so sorry for not being a better friend to you guys, and not being here more. Its one day at a time. My weight is reset, and today is a new day.
just for today
1. log every thing I eat
2. Mediate for 10 minutes about what is good in my life. Relax, sit out on our patio and enjoy nature.
3. walk
Joan you are an amazing and friend and support to all of us on here, not least because of your honesty and the fact that you ALWAYS come back and keep going no matter how bad it gets. And that's what it takes to succeed.
Thank you for that.
And.... as a certain song goes.... it's a new day, it's a new dawn.... ☺0 -

Joan, Don't be so hard on yourself, honey! We're ALL glad to see your back! Sugar and stress gets a lot of us,
. Your right TAKE ONE day at a time!
These last couple of weeks has been tremendously hard for me to keep track of calories! Yes, late night eating has not helped, Hubby has decided to get a part time job so my schedule has been crazy, ugh!!!! Yesterday, we went to the Tulip Festival, gorgeous tulips! I'm loving
the wonderful nature Washington State has to offer!
Just for today,
1. No eating after 7
2. Water, water, water
3. Log everything I eat!0 -

It's awesome that he joined you when he realized he couldn't convince you to stay with him.
I ended up going on my own last night. I don't blame my wife for not wanting to go...she works 60+ hours most weeks and we get up at 5:30am to walk the dogs before work, so by the time the 7:00pm Crossfit class rolls around, its about the last thing she wants to do.
I agree! She shouldn't have to go with you, but good for you for going on your own! I kind of need him there because I'm starting weights, and I need a spotter

Just for Today 4/10
1. fight the grumpiness; do not turn to food for comfort wOOT!!
2. log everything
That's all I have for today. #1 is going to be enough of a challenge
Very late check in for me today. Have been running around all day, but still not 10K steps. GRRRR. I'm pretty excited that I have had two bouts of grumpiness in the past month or so and have been able to avoid turning to food for comfort. That is such a huge challenge.

1. log everything
2. get more steps in 15k to 17K; even if that means going to the gym and using the treadmill
Welcome Back Joan...you can do this! And you NEVER owe us any apologies. You started this thing, that was such a great help! If you can't make it in to check in, that's okay, we'll miss you, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

@Bailey_432 - Happy Birthday. Enjoy your day! That is a great plan to enjoy but not overindulge.

Hi! I ran into this thread and liked the idea of it, so here I am. I'm three-days old and already having a lot of trouble. I've lost 7 pounds of water weight so far, but I know it's just water weight, so the rest of the road is going to be tough. I have another 25 pounds to go, and I've only once made it to my goal (about 20 years ago). I don't know if I'm doing MFP correctly, but it could be because I don't have the right foods in my freezer and pantry yet. As I run out, I'll replace the items with better choices.
So, here's my "Just for today" list:
1. I will do better at planning my meals so I'm not so hungry. All I think about is food!
2. Make sure I do all of my PT and OT exercises, at least once.
3. Finish cleaning the apartment, which I started yesterday. Laundry has been waiting, too.
4. Reward myself with a long, hot shower and fresh sheets.
If I get those things done, I'll be doing great, especially since it's already 1:00 p.m. and haven't done a thing yet.
