    I picked up a saying last year, and I think it resonates.. Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.

    Thanks for posting this! I really needed to hear this and read it on an hourly basis....

    Track?: Yes!
    Calories: Over but by a little. And I think I exercised it off.
    Exercise: Dance. No idea how much I burned but I was tired by the end
    Water: 60 ounces.

    Also, I weighed myself this morning and the scale was 192.1 again (not 194.4 that I logged in for my weigh-in day yesterday)? I don't get it lol. Why did it have to fluctuate up yesterday lol.

    That's exactly what happens to me. My weigh in day is never my lowest weight of the week. And weight loss is never linear either, over the last 9 months, mine looks crazy, up and down, but the overall trend is down, and that's what you need to look at!! And you're doing great, just keep going!

    Finally I started exercising again. I am at my daughter’s home and when I am in my own place, I exercise at least 5 times a week for an hour. I made a decision that We, my husband and I) will exercise every day here. Our minimum will be 20 min. Anyone can do 20 minits, right? I am doing OMAD.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes Hit my step goal and did my strength workout.

    True! I'm still going towards the right direction! I was looking at my report too for the last few months and it's just like you said- spiky but overall downwards trend. Thank you for supporting me! <3

    Track?: Yes!
    Calories: A little over but nothing that I'm worrying too much about. But I do realize that if I want to drop weight faster I need to stay under my caloric limit so I'm going to try harder to do this. I'm always "a little over" each day which may be slowing me down a little. Today I WILL be under!
    Exercise: Tuesdays are honestly extremely busy for me and I was too tired by the end of the day to exercise. I know it's a not an excuse though.
    Water: Around 60 ounces I believe.

    Yesterday was a rough day in terms of everything else but I've noticed that when I keep working towards my fitness goals, even if I'm having a rough day it doesn't feel like rock bottom (like it does when I'm having a rough day AND way over my calorie limit) and that helps me a lot.

    Today, I messed up, many samples at Costco, pretzel rolls and a big blueberry muffin after being so good! Tomorrow is a new day. I don’t know why I fell so low and I was losing!

    Track?: Yes!
    Calories: Under!
    Exercise: No, just walked a lot.
    Water: 72 ounces

    Comments: Yesterday was a much better day. Pretty productive and under my calorie goal which always puts me in a good mood. Also I reached 191 this morning which I haven't been in a looong time but I was able to reach it in a month mostly thanks to this challenge keeping me focused on my goals (It REALLY helps because even if no one reads your post, you're still the one thinking through how your days are going and taking that time for reflection and daily thinking about where you are and where you want to be and how to get there helps tremendously. At least it has for me. Of course I have a long way to go but I feel like my progress had been so stagnant that seeing change is really reassuring). Stay positive guys :)

    I think it's really important to think about your day and how it went...and that's the idea behind the daily posts, helps with accountability, but also helps you think about what worked and what didn't work and how you can adapt to meet your goals.

    I always read the posts, don't always respond to all of them, sometimes I'm just too tired--but I always read them :)
