    Thanks for this thread ;-)

    I'm most successful when:

    I do 4-5 days a week of INTENTIONAL workouts.
    I make my goal of 8 or MORE glasses of water a day.
    I plan ahead (I enter in all my calories for the day except for dinner...on a workout day that will depend on how many calories I earned by exercising).
    I negotiate...for example...out to dinner with friends.... appetizer OR dessert...not BOTH!
    I eat breakfast...oatmeal is my go to morning meal.
