    @FeraFilia You made me chuckle twice! Once, because you use the same excuse I do when I eat a cookie or granola bar right before bed....I need it in my belly with my meds! Second, I love your last bullet point "No, seriously, rest." We have similar sense of humor. Thanks for the chuckle. I hope you feel better soon! :)

    Just for today, Monday, 1/9

    Hope everyone has a good day. I am starting to feel a little better, thank goodness. I hate being sick and not having energy. And the best is that the temps outside are in the 30s, so that alone is reason to feel better!

    I have made it through Day 8 sugar free and no snacking either. 7.15pm now and I'm going to bed with a cup of tea so that I don't snack. I even resisted a mini pack of jellies I was given today and just put them straight into the bin.

    Weighed myself this morning and down 2.4 lbs as of last week.

    Tomorrow:
    1. No sugar
    2. No snacks

    Hi all, my name is Cat. I'm new to the community section of MFP, starting over on weight loss goals again... Hopefully for the last time. I love the idea of just taking this one day at a time.
    Goals for Mon 1/9 (starting small):
    Walk for at least 30 min
    Log all food and stay within calorie goal
    Drink 6 glasses of water

    Been finding it hard to post this month - normally post on my morning train ride but have had to work instead pretty much every day so far! Posting in the evening for now until normality resumes....

    Tomorrow's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - No unhealthy snacks
    - Stay within calories

    - 30 + minute lunch break
    - Meditate
    - Don't just focus on the big key priority - get it done quickly and make time for some of the less urgent stuff too (this is the complete opposite of my normal commitment here...)

    Seems like everyone is having so much snow/ice! We had temps in the low teens. Today, finally in the 30! Its no wonder there are so many people, including myself, that are sick! I am SO impressed with your 60 situps!

    Hi! Glad to see you back. I found out today that it's a ligament and no broken bones, so I'm very happy about that! They had me worried. So, I have to continue wearing the orthopedic knee-high boot for two more weeks and then they will re-evaluate at that time. It's like trying to walk in ski boots! I'm bumping into everything!
