    Yesterday
    1. log all food :)
    2. drink water :) -- I am trying to drink water each time I am in the kitchen -- just jugging down a glass of water each time - no ice. This seemed to help me.
    3. no exercise today, so eat as healthy as I can :/ Suffering from a bad cold, so skipped going to the gym or doing anything yesterday.
    4. get back on here tomorrow :)


    Yesterday was a good day, despite the fact that I am coming down with a cold. I got my water in, which for me is really hard to do. Each time I walked into the kitchen, I just chugged down a large glass of water - no ice. I think this might work for me to get into this habit.
    I did eat more in the evening that I wanted to (popcorn again!), but since I ate lighter for lunch and breakfast, I was OK.

    So another day .... one day at a time!

    JFT, 1/4
    1. drink water each time I walk into the kitchen - aim for minumum of 6 glasses
    2. log ALL food - no matter what
    3. DO NOT WEIGH MYSELF! This is hard for me, because after 1 or 2 good days I want to weigh myself. But if the scale is not down, I tend to get discouraged. So I am going to try and only weigh on sunday mornings, and no matter what the scale says, do not get discouraged
    4. do some sewing! I have been without my machine since after xmas. Hopefully it will be finished today, and I can pick it up, and get back to sewing.
    5. Encourage at least one person on this thread.


    I hope everyone has a great day today. We can all do this, one day at a time!

    Starting afresh wasn't quite as easy as I'd hoped, didn't take account of the fact of January grumpiness :) hopefully I'm over that now though...


    January is always a hard time for me as well ...... Christmas is over, and its so cold out, and gloomy. Listening to Christmas music is a good idea .... think I will do that today also!

    Just for today I will:

    1. Stick to the pre-planned meals that I have entered into my diary - Check!
    2. Drink water instead of giving in to unplanned snacking - Didn't drink water, but also didn't snack...
    3. Think only positive thoughts when I look in the mirror- Meh

    Well, at least I stuck to my pre-planned diary entries! Here goes.

    Today:
    1. Stick to the pre-planned meals in my diary
    2. Drink water
    3. Replace negative thoughts with 3 positive thoughts

    Great idea!

    I haven't weighed myself in 4 months. We moved from Boston to Washington and the majority of our stuff is in storage as we currently are staying with my husband's family until we get our feet back on the floor, which is soon as I start my new job next Monday! Unfortunately we ate like complete crap in the last 4 months and my body is paying for it, I went a size up!

    I have been watching my calorie intake for a week now, and drinking only water. I already feel better. My goal for January is to complete the rest of the month without drinking alcohol.

    My goal for today

    1. Log everything.
    2. Stay within calorie limit.
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water.
    3. Play with my pup for at least 30 min

    Hi everyone,
    I started my journey 12/26/16 and down 34 pounds ( was 40 before the holidays..) Slow and steady for me, constantly reminding myself this is a marathon and not a sprint.

    Today
    1. I will do at least 30 minutes on my indoor bike or elliptical.
    2. I will walk on both of my 10 minute breaks at work.
    3. I will not eat back exercise calories.
    4. I will drink at least 6 cups of water. (that is a lot for me, I usually only get down 3, or less..)

    Good luck to everyone!!

    Just for Today - 1/4/17 Wednesday
    1. Stick to meal plan and journal every bite :)
    2. Hydrate :/ Not as well as I would have liked to. Too much coffee, too little water.
    3. 7000 steps on FitBit :/ Went to Ortho Dr today and found out I have been walking on a fractured foot for months. They put a knee-high boot cast on my foot and told me to stay off it. So....less than 5000 steps today. MRI on Friday, so we will see what happens there and what the plan is then. Hopefully not surgery!
    4. 30 minutes activity :/ See above.
    5. Finish my tasks for the WWD project :/
    6. Budget for 2017 - list of extra expenditures this year :) Got a very good start on this.
    7. Unplug by 7 pm except MFP :)
    8. Stay positive. No drama at work. Use earbuds to help stay upbeat. :) Worked at home today after doctor appointment and boot cast.
    9. One random act of kindness :)
    10. Bed one hour early to unplug, read and write in Gratitude Journal :) Going to bed at 9:00 tonight!
