Can really use this today! Last week I had a lot of work/social activities and was not able to prepare many of my meals. I still stuck to plan with the exception of yesterday's dinner, but I'm back on track this week and looking forward to preparing food that I know is healthy and delicious.
Just for today, I will:
1. Go on a nice walk and hit 13,000 steps
2. Drink 1 gallon of water
3. Stay under 1300 calories
4. Celebrate my victories!0 -

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before! Where have I been?!
Just for today....
1. Stay under my 1600 calorie goal.
2. Get to bed before 10:00 (I have fire/rescue meeting tonight.. this will be a challenge)
3. No chocolate (it's just one day, I should be able to handle that, right?)0 -
First time to post here. Would like to lose 50 pounds! I'm quite skeptical about it. Sigh, well, here goes! For today, which is fast passing by!... I will do some stretching! I actually have some other things I would like to do that would burn more calories, and I will put them on my maybe list. However if I can even just do the stretching for example some restorative yoga poses, I will be happy. In the past "over goaling" has been an issue. Am peri-menopausal, and metabolism machine seems to be broken! I gain weight just breathing air! Anyway, will try again!
Welcome!
You can achieve any goal you set yourself if you DECIDE you're going to do it. So perhaps just decide an achievable yet stretching weight target for just this month... then use this thread to make a daily commitment to it here.
so... break up the bigger goal into smaller chunks and decide you're going to do it.
We all have off days. And... We can choose whether to let that beat us, or get back up and keep going.
Good luck.0 -

Why would you need to be hungry?0 -

Well have had a very indulgent 2 days with far too much chocolate and wine. And I've enjoyed it. And partially balanced by double bootcamp then 2 hours of gardening today (over 1000 calories of exercise).
Back to it from Tuesday
Goals are:
- stay within calorie limit
- no sugar
- check into stomach to gauge real hunger levels regularly
- enjoy my extra day off and the garden. What a joy that sunshine finally came today... spring at last!0 -
Just for today:
1. Resume cal goals
2. 3+ pints of water/tea
3. Exercise 30 min. Got in my zumba as well as calisthenics and planks. Yippee!
4. Take lots of deep breaths. Had a fairly patient day, including a nappie-poo, which always helps!
Just for today, for 7 April:
1. Stick to cals
2. 3+ pints water/tea
3. Exercise 30 min.
4. No sugar for a 3 day cleanse. This will be a first for me in this whole time of being on MFP.
5. Be more patient with my 2nd grader and his reading
@aerochic42: Hope you got to dance!
@feistyjojo: I'll be thinking about you with your no sugar as I'm trying to do mine! Grace to you!
@thisdamselflies: Hope you got thru the store with a shopping cart full of healthy/non-binge foods!!

If you're trying to drink water, try this cute little insprirational app: Plant Nanny. It grows a plant and each time you drink a certain amount of water it grows. You can pick from a range of pots and plants and it's been inspiring me!

"Today mine is kind of silly. I'm in a good mood and I'm enjoying the songs that are bouncing around in my head today and keep "dancing" in my chair and cube. So my goal is to not get caught but to keep dancing as long as this mood lasts. " I kept dancing and didn't get busted. For some reason the fidgety nervous energy still allowed me to really focus at work and actually turn into productive energy as well after work (cooking chicken for lunches and doing the dishes even though it was like 9PM).
Just for April 7, I will waste less time on the internet (so not perusing this forum and only entering my food especially at work). So later my lovelies.
