I wanted to start a thread for daily goals. They can be simple things like trying a new food or going five more minutes on the stationary bike.

Small goals help me to reach for the larger ones by acting as a ladder.

I'll start...



Today I will...

Drink 2 more glasses of water
Walk a little farther/faster
and
Remember that I am on a journey from A to Z, that has many milestones in the middle, and I will not reach the end overnight.

    drink 10 glasses of water at LEAST.
    cook supper before or after choir rehearsal instead of picking something up on the way home because it's "easy"
    Support my friends with everything I have because I'm doing what they're doing and we all need a little support sometimes.

    Today I will be more mindful of the grazing that I do when I am making dinner for the kids. I put a lot of food into my mouth that way. I will walk a mile and drink at least 4 bottles of water.

    Eat reasonably when I go out to eat with a friend I haven't talked to for several years.

    And I did! 1/2 of buffalo chicken wrap and 5 kettle-cooked chips (instead of the WHOLE wrap and the pile of fries I could have ordered)

    great job h20logist! I find that so hard to limit myself when I am eating out.

    ................not eat a cookie from the break room.

    ................walk past the Tootsie Roll minis, and eat no more than the 2 I've already consumed, lol.

    ................not go out to dinner with my husband, but instead make the tuna casserole I planned on making.

    ................enjoy the hell out of the chips I'm about to eat, bc I fit them into my calories. :)

    Increase my intensity on the treadmill...I did, I jogged for 2 mins with my sons encouragement!

    See the positives instead of the negatives

    Be an encouragement to someone

    This literally made me laugh out loud. I know that feeling when you fit something into your calories and you want to savor every single bite!

    * take a second and THINK about every single thing I plan to eat or drink

    * remind myself that I am worth it

    * move, move, move

    * CLOSE the kitchen after I am done cleaning up from dinner ~ with the exception of my water and unsalted sunflower seeds (that keep my mouth nice and busy so I don't snack mindlessly!)

    Go to the gym

    Straighten up my house...it make me feel better and puts me in a better state of mind

    Eat a sensible lunch

    Make a game plan for tonight budgeting extra calories, as I'm not sure what we are doing for dinner (we'll be out)

    I am glad to have found this group - as I am on a path of change in way of life to eat less and move more. I know this is a long slow journey, and it is hard not to get impatient.

    Today I will get my absolutely critical work done for work - so I can have tomorrow off. I will cook the cheesecake I am bringing to a party tomorrow (thank goodness there is no tasting required!) I will go for a walk, and have a great laugh with my beloved.
