    I like the 'just for today' mentality. I need to keep it simple, I want to set a long term goal, but setting a long term goal scares the ---- out of me. I've set so many and then go off my fitness plan.

    So, just for today, I will avoid sugar. Choccolate in particular. And I will do 20 minutes of strength training.

    Any suggestions for a beginner strength traing plan using free weights? I see a million of them on line. Thanks for your suggestions!!

    I once heard a very wise person say that she was just one cookie away from being 300 lbs again (she was about 150 lbs at the time). I thought that statement was a little drastic at the time. However, I have come to realize the truth of it. I followed a very rigid eating plan to lose the weight after my 4th child. But when my baby turned one, that piece of birthday cake that I ate quickly turned into 30 lbs gained. I know now that if I don't keep control of the food, it will control me. That being said, I find the thought of eating healthy for the rest of my life to be a little (okay, a lot) daunting. That's why tomorrow has become my best friend. I tell myself that I'm going to eat healthy forever, so I will enjoy one last day of treats today. Unfortunately, today has lasted for several months.

    So my new mantra is "For Today". I will not think about eating healthy tomorrow (until tonight when I plan tomorrow's food). I will decide to eat healthy "for Today". When I get through today, I will recommit tomorrow, and the next day and the next. Hopefully, when I've chosen the right enough times, I will forget to have to choose, it will just be my life.

    Just for today, I wont worry about tomorrow
