    This is great! I'm new to MFP and any way to keep on track is helpful.

    Just for today I will take breaks from my homework and exercise for 10 minutes.
    Just for today I will run even though it's cold.
    Just for today I will strength train for 30 minutes (something I find a bit boring).

    I love this idea! I have such a hard time just keeping track of daily stuff and get so overwhelmed. I love the idea of focusing on one day at a time. I am getting married next October and I want to lose 30 pounds before my final dress fitting. :)

    Just for today, I'm going to take a walk with my finance and dog for at least a mile.
    Just for today, I'm going to avoid sweets (cookies, chocolate candy.)
    Just for today, I'm going to drink at least 8 cups of water.

    Just focusing on today.

    Just for today I will not allow others to sabotage my goals.
    Just for today, I will ignore the box of Thin Mints in the freezer (brought home by someone else).
    Just for today, I will say "I choose not to eat ..." instead of "I cannot eat ..."

    I am struggling SO much, and this is why I need to get on here everyday, and at least make an attempt to keep on trying. I have a lot of personal things going on with my daughter, who has mental illness. I want to eat for comfort, but I know I need to find other ways to deal with all this.

    Here was my list from yesterday. I didn't do everything, but, I DID do some of these things! So trying to look at the positives, instead of the negatives

    3. Get out for a long walk today before the weather turns DONE -- I Walked almost 5 miles yesterday. I went for a walk in the afternoon to soak up the sunshine, and another walk with a good friend in the evening.
    4. log everything that I put in my mouth - DONE -- I even logged the Buster Bar from Dairy queen!

    SO JUST for today

    1. I will work again on trying to get in the habit of chewing gum instead of eating
    2. I will concentrate harder on getting in my water
    3. No matter what, everything I eat I will log in my journal
    4. I will check off these things, so tomorrow morning, when I post my just for today list, I will have completed all these item.

    Just for today, I will try not to let the increase on the scale throw me into a funk that results in "comfort eating." It's just the body settling.
