    Refocus on not eating mindlessly and on not being a bum after work. I realize I've been sliding back into old behaviors and need to stop that action.

    Just for today Wednesday April 15th
    1.) go to the gym after work and do cardio and weights
    2.) put away laundry when I get home tonight
    3.) appreciate my health and realize today what I already have, stop wishing for more all the time. I am truly blessed and having your health is worth a million dollars. Too often I let myself focus on the things I have not accomplished and do not value how far I have already come. Aging is part of life and is not realistic to think I will have the same physical shape in my forties as I did when I was in my 20's. :) and that is OKAY. I am more than OKAY and I have the ability to change!!!!

    Uggg...yesterday I skipped my workout due to extreme soreness from lifting heavy and a possible fibro flare. I ate ONE almond flour cookie, which I did not track. GAINED SEVEN POUNDS. My weight doesn't fluctuate much, so that is likely not water weight. Have I mentioned that have five different metabolic diseases and that this SUCKS big time?

    I have to be so strict with myself in order to get anywhere. Mostly I just deal with the reality, but today it has me pissed off. Anybody else who ate and exercised like I do would look amazing, but I am still fat and, today, angry.

    Tuesday:
    1. 12,000 steps or bust :smiley:
    2. Cardio/weight workout :)
    3. 10 fruits/veggies :)

    Feeling a bit better today. Only up three pounds instead of SEVEN. Still not great, but I can deal with it. I think that I may have missed one of my injections, which could explain the weirdness. My weight does not usually fluctuate wildly...but those of you who frequently have that problem have got my sympathies!

    Wednesday:
    1. 11,000 steps
    2. swim
    3. do gardening projects

    1. I guess I'm stuck doing the treadmill today because they are calling for 1 to 3 feet of snow. Maybe I'll be adventurous and go for a walk in the snow if it's not too cold.
    2. Take breakfast lunch and snack to work
    3. Stick to 1200 calories

    Just for today:
    -I will log everything I eat.
    -I will take a walk today.
    -I will be gentle with myself.
    -I will refer to my lists.

    I entered the "be gentle with myself" with ambivalence. I have now entered it with each post and as long as I enter it with thoughtfulness I will continue. It has worked for me when I start that litany of negativity toward myself and my "issues". I am the family cheerleader and now I am cheering myself, too.

    Went to the gym had a great work out. Felt really fat in my workout clothes. I just rejoined a gym it has been about 2 years since a membership... this is the 1st time ever I have felt self conscious about how I look in my gym clothes in public. That really kind of sucked.

    Today 4/16/15
    1.) do cardio at lunch
    2.) do not compare myself to others, this is my own journey and I will enjoy the scenery as I continue it :)
