    I did so good yesterday. So going to make my list the same, as these are the things I struggle with the most!

    1. Eat ONLY at the kitchen table, or when I am with other. No more eating in front of my computer, eating in front of the TV. That leads to mindless eating!
    2. Drink --- Water Water Water!!!

    I just found this thread today and I love the idea! Christmas/My birthday/year's end I have a goal I am working towards already and I have been slipping in the last two weeks. Started two days ago getting back on track (logging everything, working out regularly) and this thread is perfect for helping me stay on task!

    Just for today I will:
    1. exercise 30 minutes - DONE!
    2. log EVERYTHING - DONE!
    3. stay in my calorie goal range - DONE!

    Just for today I will:
    1. drink no alcohol
    2. do my yoga that I love and miss
    3. log everything! (tomorrow is my weekly weigh day)

    Haven't been on here since last Thursday! Not a great way to take it 1 day at a time, and I blew it at 2 thanksgivings this weekend, but my holidays are over and I still managed not to gain anything...so I guess that is a success!
    From Nov 20th
    JFT - I will stick to my calorie goal - YES!
    JFT - I will not let the stress of the day get to me and enjoy all these crazy moments for what they are - such a blessing! - HAD SUCH A FUN DAY WITH MY KIDDOS AND ALL THEIR ACTIVITIES!
    JFT - I will do a random act of kindness - because that always makes me feel good and makes me feel like I can accomplish anything! - I DON'T THINK I DID THAT!

    JFT - I won't think about the scale, just how I feel
    JFT - I will keep positive!
    JFT - I will do the random act of kindness that I forgot to do on my busy days!

    Just for Today
    1. Don't weigh MYSELF!!!!!!!!
    2. Do my Kettlebell DVD
    3. Do gazelle 15 min
    4. Remember this:

    Motovational poem for weight loss
    Don't Quit

    When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down, and you feel like the biggest failure in town.

    When you want to give up just because you gave in, and forget all about being healthy and thin.

    So What! You went over your points a bit, It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!

    It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.

    It's learning the skills to get back in your range.

    It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.

    You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."

    It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.

    You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.

    To stumble and fall is not a disgrace, if you summon the will to get back in the race.

    But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip, just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
    And learn too late when the damage is done, that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.

    Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow, but facing each challenge will help you grow.

    Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.

    When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit, If you bite it, you write it....But don't you ever quit!!!

    I just discovered this discussion thread and LOVE the idea! So here goes:

    Just for today, I will stay within my calorie goals.
    Just for today, I will stay active for at least three hours after I get off work (no sitting around watching tv).
    Just for today, I will attempt to ignore the number on the scale and focus on how much more I can do physically than I ever could before.

    I like the poem! Thank you for sharing it. The day before Thanksgiving, I read this, and then copied it and changed it up a little to personalize it just for me. I printed it out and carried it with me when I went to Thanksgiving dinner. It served as an extra bit of armor for me as I negotiated my first ever diet Thanksgiving successfully.

    I have been missing getting on here, and feel again out of control. So going to get back to taking this one day at a time

    So -- just for TODAY
    1. Only eat food in the kitchen
    2. Drink water in the evening instead of "stress" eating
    3. Log EVERYTHING I eat today!

    I hope you guys are all doing better than I am! Too much eating over Thanksgiving, and now getting the sugar again out of my system, and getting back in control.

    • I will forgive myself for whatever self-sabotage I have done and just go on! -- :D I DID! and actually worked on some of the stuff that was scaring me.
    • I will log as I go and drink ALL THE WATER -- FLOATING
    • I will get a 30 minute workout on my crosstrainer -- 35 minutes. CHECK.

    2. get up early and get a workout at the gym before work
    3. all the water. Just, all of it.
