JUST FOR TODAY!
I am going to believe in myself, that I can change for good.
I am going to exercise because it makes me feel better
I am going to control myself, and not let food control me.
I don't need to eat junk! I don't want to eat junk! I may have wanted it in the past, but not anymore.

Oh I love this idea! I'm kinda late to the party this evening but this is how today went...
I made the commitment to my weight loss consultant to maintain for four weeks. If I lose well that's great, but I need to reduce the pressure on myself at the moment whilst still halting the gaining weight trend. I spent time out with my husband, in my favourite place at the coast. I stuck with an ice cream that I enjoyed a lot rather than fish and chips, an ice cream, and hot donuts (which is what I would usually have) I walked 1.71 miles with the hounds in 30 minutes. I started out wanting to walk a mile but my planned route wasn't quite long enough, so I ended up going a lot further. This is great as to my shame, my hounds don't get out as often as they should and it's important to keep their fitness up as they get older.
So, my just for tomorrow goals... I want to walk another mile. Anything more is a bonus, but the mile that will count must include the dogs. I will pre plan my meals and snacks, which I will not scarf all of by ten am. I will spend some quality time with my husband (we work opposite shifts most of the week) I will not weigh myself. Being obsessively on and off the scales is detrimental.
I hope you don't mind me joining in, I felt so inspired reading your posts!0 -

That late night snacking is a killer, Rebamae. Why does our resolve fly out the window? Sometimes I just have to go out for a late walk to stay away from the fridge.0 -

Limited computer access this last due to new job. I missed my July 15 date of 5% weight loss by a pound or two. I did hit it and then some yesterday though, which means I lost weight on the weekend. Hubby is on a get healthier kick as of this weekend, so it should be interesting. Despite my slow weight loss he said he thought I had gained and that I'm clearly lieing or messing with the scale. Grrrr. So my JFT Monday is get past his comments and get on board with his wanting to be healthier even if he claims it's just for my health.

Good morning on this Monday!
We had a real wind storm come through last night. There was an actual hook on the radar so we are thinking more than just straight-line winds
We are very fortunate that we only lost tree limbs. All of the electricity poles south of us were broken for 3/4 mile. More down on south and east of us.
So, that is my excuse for mindless eating last night.
Sun 7/19/15 1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking. 2. Kitchen closes at 9:00 for me. 3. Plan menus for this week 4. Enjoy my husband!

Today I turn 64. My goal was to be at my goal weight for my 64th birthday, but I am still 22 lbs from that.
But -- I am still here! I can walk 5 miles easily without having to stop. I have outlived 4 of my siblings. So I am very grateful. But God gave me this body to take care of, and I have not. So today is a good day to start getting serious again!
just for today
1. enjoy eating out, but in moderation.
2. think positive. I am still alive. I have so much to be thankful for. Count my blessings, not my troubles.
EAT TO LIVE. DO NOT LIVE TO EAT!0 -

So, my just for tomorrow goals... I want to walk another mile. Anything more is a bonus, but the mile that will count must include the dogs. - done, one mile by myself but the dogs only did 0.75 miles, they were exhausted from the one yesterday. Still counting this! By the end of their walk I was down to crawling pace! I will pre plan my meals and snacks, which I will not scarf all of by ten am. - done I will spend some quality time with my husband (we work opposite shifts most of the week) - done, we ate dinner together I will not weigh myself. Being obsessively on and off the scales is detrimental. - no scale hopping at all
I hope you don't mind me joining in, I felt so inspired reading your posts!
Just for today - I will resist the box of baklava at work. It killed my calories yesterday and while I left an allowance for a couple of biscuits, I didn't allow for this. I will walk a mile in my lunch break, and half a mile with the dogs. I will get some tasks done around the house this evening after work - at least three things I will again stay off the scales. Went on once this morning, no more!
