Just thinking about the impacts on my journey today and thought it would be interesting to see what is encouraging you or standing in your way today?

Positive- I stepped on the scales and was down .6lbs (weigh in day is Saturday am) so i didn't log it!

Negative- It's my twin daughters b-day and they wanted ice-cream cakes for their b-day, so I'm phsycing myself up to eat very little

    Positive: I weighed in yesterday at 2.1 lbs down, and I also stayed 800 calories under my calorie goal yesterday (not the healthiest, but I just wasn't hungry all day)

    Positive: I've finally gotten over the mental stuff that's always kept me from succeeding in the past

    Positive: Drinking water has become my life :)


    No real negatives today...it's been a good week!

    Positives - I have tons of energy today, I think it's from my cardio class last night.

    Negatives - I'm going to an Italian place for dinner and the pasta is so yummy! I'll be getting grilled fish. :)

    Positive: I stepped on the scale and lost 1.5
    Negative: I grabbed my ipod for the gym but FORGOT the headphones.
    Negative: I'll have to go out at lunch and buy a cheapie pair
    Positive: I'll double my walking time since I parked three blocks away- so bonus, more exercise minutes to log.

    Double positive- I will still go to the gym no matter what!! :)

    Positive: I'm losing weight with every weigh in and sticking to the plan.

    Negative: My man AND my boss pissed me off today and I've smoked more cigarettes than I usually do! Still trying to cut back and hopefully quit soon! (Positive: I'm down from 10 cigs a day to about 5 a day!)

    Negatives: Didn't feel to great this morning, was prepared to sit it out on the sofa today until I thought you don't get any results sitting on your a@@!

    Positives:
    Felt so much better after my long morning walk with the dog!
    Tummy is starting to look a bit better!
    Managed to remain strong at family's house today when my 6 year old niece trying to stuff jaffa cakes into my mouth! but quite proud of myself that I managed not to eat any!

    Positive: I had a *really* boring and unproductive day at work, but managed to resist the urge to snack.

    Negative: Motivation to exercise was as low as I was bored, so didn't do my usual 3-4 km walk at lunchtime.


    Bonus positives: made some new MFPs today :)

    Negative: ( to get it out of the way first) Woke up late and didnt pack breakfast/lunch for work..boo

    Positive: Thankfully have fruit here for a snack, and ordered healthy sandwhich for lunch instead of running to Burger king or the like...

    Positive: I havent been obsessing over the scale this week, and I wont be looking until my official weight in sunday!

    Positive: Super excited about a party tonight with some members of the Toronto Blue Jays so I haven't sat still once today (must have burned 300+ calories fidgeting and jumping out of my seat at work!)

    Negative: Will be catered, so expecting to go over on calories

    Positive: Already exercised and looking forward to Zumba-ing the extra calories away after the party (luckily it's scheduled to end by 9pm)
