Today is the start of a new year - 2018!! And that also means a fresh start -- JUST FOR TODAY. ONE DAY AT A TIME!

It takes at least 21 days to develop a new habit, so this thread is for us to learn and develop new habits, for a healthier lifestyle. Not just food wise - but our entire well being. It is a thread of encouragement and motivation. Because, at least for me, reading goals that others make gives me ideas to improve my own life. And getting back on here, and being accountable each day, keeps us going, day after day. Even if we do not accomplish the goals we had set -- the key is to keep coming back -- keep trying -- not giving up!

If we can set goals for ourselves for JUST ONE DAY, maybe that one day will lead to another day, an entire week, an entire month, and this will help us to develop better habits for life, taking this one day at a time. Your goals can be as few as just one goal, or many goals for the day.

Each day I am going to post what I would like to accomplish. While I post my "Just for today" list, I am also going to post how I did the day before, so I am accountable to you guys as well.

I am always so encouraged reading others goals, and together, we can all reach our goals for 2018 and beyond. I started this thread originally 2 years ago, and it has helped me so much. I have met the most wonderful online friends - and this year, I hope to reach my ultimate goal weight. I hope to keep doing this, each year - even into maintenance.

Anyone can join - and we would love to have you! This is not a "group", so we welcome anyone who wants to improve their life, and reach their goals. We all know how hard it is to change habits - that's why I love this group of friends.

To bookmark this new thread and help you find it each day, just click on the little yellow star. That bookmarks it, so you can find it easy. When you go to post again, to the right at the top of your page is a bell, a star, and a little flower. Click on the star, and it will show your book marked threads.

    Just for Today 1/1/17:
    • Take my starting measurements
    • Drink half my weight in oz of water (87.5)
    • Journal every bite
    • Stay in the GREEN
    • Aldi's run for this week's healthy snacks
    • Meal plan and prep for the week
    • 30 minutes of activity: Mixture of treadmill and Body Groove
    • Begin lifting hand weights to work on strengthening and toning arms. This is supposed to be good for lymphedema also, which I have in my right arm and it has flared horribly over the past month because of overuse. This needs to become a habit.
    • Work on quilt
    • In bed earlier. Need to establish a better bedtime routine so I can have a smoother morning routine!

    HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

    @cschmitz110515 Now that our Packers season is over, I find myself strangely attracted to watching hockey... Too bad Wisconsin doesn't have an NHL team!

    @clicketykeys There is a used book store right up the street from here that I have been meaning to check out since we moved here 3 years ago! Thanks for the reminder to go! Maybe this week.... :smile: Enjoy!
