    This is such a good idea. I am really struggling at the moment so taking goals one day at a time will hopefully help me!

    I have a dinner out tonight so today I will:-

    1. Not have chips with my dinner.
    2. Not have alcohol with dinner.

    I managed to stick to yesterdays. Today I will:-
    1. not give in to my sore throat / cold and still go swimming.
    2. not go and get a hot sandwich like I want to and stick to my pre-made lunch.

    This is just what I need right now! Thank you for starting this!

    1) I will log everything honestly today (even if some of it is bad...)
    2) I will go to the gym and exercise
    3) I will eat healthy the rest of the day! Fruits and Veggies
    4) I will weigh myself tomorrow, even though I don't want to :'(
    5) I will not use my break-up as an excuse to eat out of self pity
    6) I will try not to worry and eat out of anxiety
    7) I will go to therapy (no shame in this game! lol)
    8) I will not beat myself up if I don't meet all these goals today
    9) I will be grateful for what I have
    10) I think I said it all!

    Good for you! You are amazing. Depression and anxiety is not fun to talk about and very difficult to deal with. Going to therapy for it is even harder. I applaud you!

    Oops! Well yesterday did not log what I ate with my auntie. Had a dessert. And later at night found my partner had made a lovely fish lasagne with garlic bread. Did not log that either. BUT did not think Sod it all because I had slipped and binge on chocolate later so for me that is a win!

    Just for today:
    Log everything I eat
    Do not give up and binge if I go over my calories.

    Great thread idea! Love the baby step mentality!

    Just for today, I will:
    Go to the gym for a run after work, even though I'm stuck here 9 hours :smile:
    No snacking after dinner :smile:
    LOG EVERYTHING :smile:

    Happy Wednesday everyone!

    Ended up leaving a half hour early and coming in early this AM so I could get to the gym last night and still cook dinner at a decent hour.

    Just for today...
    Drink 72 oz water
    Log 3 miles on the treadmill (even if they are slower than I'd like)
    No junk food at work
    LOG EVERYTHING - lies of omission on my log are only lies to myself!!

    Have a great day! :smiley:

    3/5- Log every bite I eat, no matter what!
    - Eat my first meal before 10 AM, and last before 7 PM (work is kicking my bum right now, and before I know it, it is 2PM, I am hangry, and my students are suffering!)

    Just for today 3/5

    1. log what I eat (even if it's not the best!)
    2. do 1 hour of power yoga and some dance practice
    3. Be gentle and loving with myself. I've gained a few pounds this winter, but I'm barely over my goal range, my clothes still fit and I'm still 20+ pounds lighter than I was at this time last year. I can get rid of those couple of vanity pounds with no drama and no self-loathing.

    I got up at 5:15 to go to the gym today for my final hard workout of the week.

    I will eat with intent today and accurately log everything I eat.

    Now, off to the gym.

    My February was a "maintain" month - hadn't planned it that way but that's how it turned out. Into day 5 of March, and though I am eating my planned meals during the day, the candy jar keeps calling my name and my activity has been low, so..

    Just for today:
    1) I will do my exercise activity as planned
    2) I will NOT eat any candy or sweets

    Thank You Thank You Thank You for posting this. I too need to remember that, while I am not where I want to be, and I did gain a little, I am still lighter than I was. I can get where I need to be without beating myself up or feeling sorry for myself. I just need to keep doing what works for me and remember that I am already successful.

  • Good morning - just for today I will 1) log in everything 2) keep a positive attitude

    So for Wednesday

    1. Take a walk. Around the office if that is the only option due to rain/sleet/snow Well the weather did not cooperate here. I did take the long way around the office a few times to get some extra steps in anyway.
    2. Log Everything I eat and no snacking after 10pm. I do have everything listed, but we ended up out for dinner, so I am not sure about the final calories. Perfect on the late night snacking though. :D
    3. Relax and do not overreact. I think this will be a day that requires patience. I can do that :D I'm glad I chose this. I ended up with a few work surprised that could have upset me, but I just took them in and kept on going.

    Thursday is here, and I plan to enjoy my day off. Just for today I will

    1. Take a walk. While I need to relax, I do not need to spend the whole day sitting still.
    2. Log everything I eat and no snacking after 10pm.
    3. Keep in touch with my parents. Dad is in the hospital for observation after a minor fall. They do not want to worry me, but they only live an hour away, so if they need help, I can be there relatively quickly.

    Have a Happy Thursday!

  • I love this thread - would love to join it. I have been in the 190s since October. I have spent too much time and energy with negative self-talk. It hasn't been effective in moving the scale in the direction of the 180s. For March my goal is to get from 193.6 to 189. Just for today I will:
    - do a 30 minute workout DVD (done)
    - get more protein in
    - not beat myself up because I have been unable to get out of the 190s since October
    - spend time enjoying my grandson
    - no snacking after dinner unless I am truly "hungry"

    OK yesterday I did eat a girl scout cookie but I ignored the cadbury egg in my desk drawer all day so I will consider my no sugar rule a semi-win for yesterday. I did get a walk in with the dog.

    Just for today 3-5 I will
    Get at least my 8 glasses of water
    Not buy any crappy snacks on my grocery run tonight
    Continue to ignore the cadbury egg in my desk drawer

    Yesterday, 3/4
    1. 30 minutes on the ellipitical - since we are getting freezing rain today. :) 35 Minutes - and it was COLD in the patio room where I keep my ellipitical. But turned on my Ipad and watched "The voice", and before I knew it, 35 minutes done!
    2. log every thing I eat :) Went over my calories, but at least I logged everything in.
    3. no popcorn tonite - find an alternative snack. :) No popcorn, but had HC icecream fudge bar.

    Just for today, 3/5
    1. positive thoughts all day. Both my husband and I have been really down - just a lot of negative stuff going on. Trying to look past the cloud that seems to be over us. At least today the sun will be out, which might help.
    2. Either 30 minutes on the ellipitical, or go out for a much needed LONG walk
    3. Log everything that I eat.
