    1. log all food :) Did not do so good though with food --- too many leftovers sweets here.
    2. concentrate on drinking at least 8 glasses of water :) Didn't get all 8 glasses in, but working on this! I have to drink 4 glasses of water now before I go to bed though :s
    3. go to the gym with husband in the afternoon. (Being that the temperature is suppose to be -8 in the morning, hoping by the afternoon is is warmer) :/ Just didn't happen .... a lazy, but relaxing day! It is -6 degrees out, so we didn't even leave the house!
    4. read one chapter of Simple Abundance (thank you @O'Connell for this idea - something I hope to do everyday this year) :)
    5. get back on here tomorrow ...... be accountable :)

    JFT, Tues, Jan 2
    1. log all food
    2. concentrate on water - 2 glasses with each meal, 2 inbetween. Total of 8 glasses water
    3. read my Advantage Response cards to remind myself of why I want to lose weight
    4. read one chapter of Simple Abundance
    5. work on just 1 shelf in my sewing room :s Time to declutter!!!
    6. work on business taxes. I am SO far behind on this
    7. get back on here tomorrow - be accountable

    So on last year's thread I was asked by Joan for a picture of my daughter's wedding dress and the app wouldn't let me.
    Hey @joan6630 , I figured it out! I think. ;) I can post pictures to threads if I do it through the website but not through the app. How silly is that?
    Now let's see if it works.


    Glad you got the picture thing to work! Now, I'll have to figure out how you posted them on your wall! Both dresses are so beautiful, and I'm sure a lot of work! Something your daughters will always treasure!

    Just for Today 1/1/17:
    • Take my starting measurements :)
    • Drink half my weight in oz of water (87.5) :/ 64 oz so not too shabby!
    • Journal every bite :)
    • Stay in the GREEN :)
    • Aldi's run for this week's healthy snacks :/ Couldn't get myself to go out in the -20 degree weather!
    • Meal plan and prep for the week :)
    • 30 minutes of activity: Mixture of treadmill and Body Groove :) Going to hit the treadmill in a minute.
    • 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. :) 10 reps of each
    • Work on quilt :) Didn't work on actual quilt but did get my sewing nook set back up, ready to go.
    • In bed earlier. Need to establish a better bedtime routine so I can have a smoother morning routine! Plan to hit the sack tonight around 9.

    Just for Tuesday, 1/2/17
    • Get up with alarm. No hitting the snooze button!!!!!
    • Journal and stay in the green
    • Hydrate, increase water intake from Monday
    • Read Advantage Response cards x5
    • Read Beck Diet Solution...
    • 30 minutes cardio; 10 reps light hand weights
    • Smile. Be kind. One random act of kindness.
    • Prep for tomorrow by packing lunch, setting out clothes.
    • One hour before bed, unplug and write in gratitude journal, Simple Abundance Chapter and begin "Read the Bible in One Year"

    I know I always get excited and have so much resolve at the beginning of each year, and then I end up fizzling out. I sure hope I can stick with it this year!!!

    (Posting this tonight because I have an early morning meeting and don't want to not have time to post tomorrow!)

    Beck Diet Solution: Day 2
    Day 2 of the Beck Diet Solution: Training your brain to think like a thin person (ending the binge eating)

    Pick a diet plan you wish to follow.

    Whether it be low carb, calorie counting, etc. This was easy for me, since I am just counting calories. The book says to pick 2 plans -- one to use as a backup. But for me, I am just trying to count calories.

    1) Lose the last post pregnancy 10 lbs. Ok so the twins are 4 but I still like to blame them.

    My kids are 23 and 26 and they still get some of the blame. :laugh:

    HI everyone, I have a grandiose 2018 dream. I would like this to be my best year! I am 61.
    56 here - oops! now its 2018 so I call myself 57. (It's easier to remember the age with the new year - like in racehorses) Keep to your dreams. It can't come real if you don't reach for it!

    Hi everybody! I found the 2018 thread and I’m excited to be here! Today is my last day off and I’ll be returning to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off.

    Welcome - are you a teacher? I am getting ready to leave a school district job and one thing I will miss is the winter break days off. I do accounting and systems work, but my husband is a teacher and he will still have the long winter break.
    @bcTRA
    Nice work - beautiful dresses.

    @Bex953172
    You are always such a great cheerleader! Thanks for keeping it up.

    @joan6630
    Although I have left the burden of new years resolutions behind me it is hard to not set some new goals at the start of a new year. It is Day 1! (or it was - it's Jan 2 as I post thi@bcTRAI

    I did the cards this morning and they're set beside my morning waking up space. Regarding day 2, counting calories pretty much works for me plus there are multiple accounting methods to use. Thanks.
