Just for today...I'm gonna try to forgive myself for eating the crap pizza and Doritos for dinner! I tend to have a "I already screwed up" attitude. I don't want to do that....and I already got my T25 in, so now I'm only -68 calories...thank heaven for the 397 I burned.0

1. Stick to cals--
Fine coz I exercised alot.
2. 3+ pints water/tea--Yes
3. Exercise 30+ min-- Got this in already, but I'd like to do more to make up for yesterday! Later: Also went for a bike ride with my olders--Yay!
4. Keep focused/do my reading for peacefulness in my day! --Fair...I have a lot of "deadlines" coming up. May will not be so fun. I will need to be disciplined here.
1. Stick to cals
2. 3+ pints water/tea
3. Exercise 30+ min
4. Try to relax today!0 -
Kwfitgal - I am increasing my water today. I appreciate your tip about the lemon juice. I used to do this and forgot all about it. I will give it a try for a few of those glasses today. Just the increase the last few days has made a difference - I feel less lethargic the more water I drink.
@cathi1992: Glad I could help! But I think it is also helping me, coz I've been sure to be adding lemon now, and I find it much easier to drink more water!! I am really thankful this topic came up!! Thank you!

Going to spend most of the day driving to a dance fitness event, so both food and steps are a little up in the air....
1. 12,000 steps

3. try to have reasonable dinner out0 -
Just for Today 05/02
1. log every bite
2. Take control of the "weekend attitude" It's not a job that you take a break from, it's a choice that I do for myself. I think I have done this even though I haven't logged. I am quite active on weekends with yard work. Definitely not at a desk for extended periods of time.
Just for Today 05/03
1. Drink water

So my commitments are:
- I will not drink alcohol at lunch. Empty calories that would just send me to sleep ☺
- Enjoy my lunch and stop when I'm full ☺
- Get out for a 30 min walk somehow, somewhere0 -
... didn't do a walk but managed around 25 mins in total plus mowing the lawn.
Over on calories. Not hugely and made generally good choices. Over due to: 1. Fruit salad after dinner 2. A small piece of dark chocolate (it's THAT time of the month and I'm starting to really crave sugar) 3. A glass of wine (it's a public holiday here tomorrow so was my holiday treat).
As you've seen... I have some great excuses. But I made those choices.
All I can do is move forward and not be too surprised if I don't hit weight goal tomorrow. Yes, about 50% of the reason will be the bloat I get once a month at this time
And the other 59% will be because of choices I made this week.
So... Monday's goals (holiday):
- push it at bootcamp and if body (recovering from injury) allows, do the 2nd class too
- gardening tomorrow afternoon, including buying and installing mini fencing of my raised bed to stop cats getting on it, so I can plant vegetables, and LOTS of weeding
- well under gross calorie goal. Eat back only 1/3 calories max I burn off
:-)0 -
Oops...i forgot about you all yesterday! But I did good and stuck to all my regular goals. Today I walked on an indoor track and JOGGED 1 LAP! (it was only a 10th of a mile
) then I swam some laps.
Just for today ( Mon May 4)
1. Take breakfast lunch and snack with me to work
2. Walk 1 hour after work
3. Stick to 1200 calories

"Just for today (Wednesday, April 29):
1) Chiropractor appt at 10am and then ride my bike home (10 miles) as practice for the 5 borough bike tour on Sunday,
2) Get ready for an interview for a personal trainer position this afternoon."
Did both of those. The interview went well and so did the bike tour today
It's too late to post a just for today, so I'll post tomorrow.

I'm new here and so far I just love MFP. So many members are committed to not just losing weight but getting healthy and I Love this. I was told by my doctor to lose weight, but not only that, to get to my ideal weight without going under (not been a problem for me) but not only to lose weight, but also to get fit!!! So here I am. Wishing you all a good healthy dose of motivation and inspiration! Cheers to a great start for the week!!0 -

Welcome! You've come to a very nice group of supportive people--hope you enjoy it here!
Also, wow--your doctor actually had the good sense to tell you to get healthy! That is almost unheard of in this day of doctors who would rather prescribe medications. You are lucky to have this doctor, and in some short bit you will be feeling great and so proud of yourself. Keep coming back!

Thank you so much. I already feel so empowered being here and learning so much about true, healthy weight loss. Yes I feel so lucky to have my doctor as I've had doctors who've pushed diet pills in the past. This one is most certainly a keeper and admits that she too finds it a struggle to keep herself as healthy as she can. Apparently she's been a junk food addict in the past. It's nice that she understands.
I look forward to getting to know people here and learning from everyone.0 -
Had an issue thats taking me to New York today so my goal is to

Just for Today 05/03
1. Drink water
2. log
Wasn't the most successful weekend. I don't feel like I go overboard like I used to. I just get busy, and things come up and logging just doesn't seem to be enough of a habit for me. I will get there eventually. The next few weeks will be difficult as my dad is coming this week, then Mother's Day, then the beginning of what we refer to as the "Birthday Time" My two kids and I have our birthdays spread out approx two weeks apart, stuffed in between Mother's Day and Father's Day. It's quite a crazy time for us. If I disappear from here, someone please pull me back because I am going to need this desperately.
Just for Today 05/04
1. log
2. exercise
3. take time for some pampering tonight0 -
For today and the month of May -- have more consistency in my daily calorie intake!0

Along bottom of whoever's post you want to quote is a quote symbol with "Quote" in blue. Click on that (from within the person's post)--it will copy the whole quote of the person into your new post box at the bottom of the thread. You should see something like:
[ quote="person's name" ] at the beginning of the quoted post, then the content of the person's post, and then
[ /quote ] at the end
So, you can then delete any extraneous info you don't want to quote with your backspace or delete keys. To add on your own comments, you'll want to type after the 2nd [/quote]. Hope that helps.0 -

Love this! And since I'm coming off of a weekend where I kind of gave up due to holidays and celebrations (UG! Why does everything have to celebrated with food and alcohol?!) - (I've always been pretty awful at setting and completing goals. Maybe starting small is the key).
So just for today 5/4/2015 I will:
1. Track everything I put in my mouth
2. Drink water with every meal
3. Go to the gym with my son after work.0 -
I didn't log my food or post anything on the weekend but I did better than I typically do with food and beverages but not as well as I had been doing last week.
Just for today I will...
1) Drink 64 oz of water
2) Log all my food and drink
3) Go to sleep before 11pm
I am going to keep focusing on these three since they led to a wonderful 2lb weight loss last week!0
