    Quick question...what is a NSV? I've seen it mentioned on here a couple times recently, but can figure out what it stands for.

    Non-Scale Victory. There's an entire thread devoted to NSVs, and I love it. Great for inspiration.

    I can't even remember if I posted last nite, but reposting again.
    Goals today are very simple

    1. log all food
    2. put a pitcher of water in the refrig ... and empty it today. (I am going to use a smaller pitcher, to start out with just 6 cups, per @toaljasa suggestion. (THank you for that suggestion to start out small).
    3. drink a glass of water everytime I go in the refrig
    4. evaluate everything I eat, and ask myself if the calories are worth it
    5. lay out gym clothes for tomorrow morning. With this single digit temps, I am having a hard time wanting to go to the gym in the morning. Have to get this good habit back ... no excuses
    6. get back on here tomorrow. be accountable.


    @tashawitt - thank you so much for sharing your tips for a healthier you. SO many good suggestions - I love the pinterest idea! One thing my husband and I are trying to do is before he comes to the table, I put our food on our plates - kinda like in a restaurant, but portioned better. Then I put anything else in the refrig.... in tupperware containers. That way it is much harder to reach for seconds.

    My problem is that I do great at every meal. Hubby is surprised that I even have a weight problem. Thats because I eat in private way too much. Snacking while hubby is downstairs, grabbing junk while I am sewing. This is my biggest hurdle ... I easily eat 600-800 calories... some nites even more ... just in the evenings, which are my hardest time. SO this is my biggest habit that I have got to change.

    You have spurred me on! I am going to mentally add "no more eating after 8pm" to my JFT. And, I am declaring it here, I guess, lol...I will not eat after 8pm tonight. And tomorrow it goes on my JFT list. Thanks!

    Peace and joy.

Now, I am up to 7-8 cups a day! I still only jft 5-6 cups, but I've busted through that for about 5 days in a row, I think. It's good to start smaller and work your way up...I always tried to start with 8 right out of the bingo box, and then two days later, I'm like, "I'm so done with that, lol!" One thing that has helped is to keep a glass that equals around 1 cup out in the open near the fridge. I'm training myself to get a cup full each time I walk through the kitchen. This has helped...as well as drinking a cup first thing in the morning :) Anyway, just wanted to let you know there is a fellow water struggler on here!


    Thank you so much. I love the idea of drinking a cup each time I walk through. I am going to try that!! Thanks for all the great advice :)
