    Well, I weighed myself this morning, reset my weight. Yikes, How can weight go on so quickly! But I know what to do -- watch my sugar intake. So I added another thing for today

    JUST FOR TODAY, January 1st, 2015
    1. DO a minimun of 20 minutes of exercise, whether it be ellipitical, walking, or anything!
    2. Focus on 8 glasses of water
    3. Log everything I eat!
    4. Keep my sugar grams within MFP guidelines

    This is something I need to remember to make my goal: I want to be @ my lowest maintenance with by March 2, my 54th birthday!

    "There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something you do it only when it is convient. When you are commited to something, you accept no excuses, only results." Kenneth Blanchard

    Love this!!!

    I love this thread! I think it is exactly what I need to keep me motivated. I will try to commit to three challenges for my "just for today" posts. I will have a mental challenge; a food/drink challenge; and an exercise challenge.

    1. I will accept myself as I am. I will think about improving my health, not losing weight or looking skinny. My worth is determined by my attitude, not a number on a scale or a dress size.
    2. I will plan my meals for next week today so I have time to shop and prep before I get too busy.
    3. I will get out for a walk today.

    Overall, I did well yesterday. Unfortunately, I got off work late and was unable to fit in a cardio session. I am going to try to make up for it today by doing 1 hour instead of 30 minutes!

    Just for today 12/30/14 I will:

    1. Stay within my calories :smile:
    2. Complete 1 hour of cardio :( (but trained on 12/31)
    3. Snack on healthy options :smile:

    Missed participating on New Years Eve 12/31/14 because I worked late and then had to go be social before tax season eats my soul.

    Just for today 1/1/15:

    1. Forgive myself for the mistakes made NYE and NYD. :smile:
    2. Log it all, because it is just as important to log the bad. :smile:
    3. Last year was rough, so be positive about the new year. :smile:

    Just for today 1/2/15:
    1. Stay within my calories
    2. Do some sort of activity
    3. Grocery shop to restock healthy options

    Joan, thank you so so much for starting this thread! I NEED to STAY focus, EVERY morning I NEED to start out on a right note! Once the day starts it seems like too much is going on to make time for me!

    Monday, I had an accident but I'm a lot better, yay! A little over a month I will be relocating back to Washington State! The final a details were made this week so now all that's left is to get my moving sale started, yikes!

    Sorry about not reading all the new posts but I love how this thread is helping everyone!

    "If I can do this for JUST ONE DAY, well, maybe that one day will lead to another day, an entire week, an entire month, and this will help me to develop better habits for my life, taking this one day at a time." Joan :):).

    Just for today 1/2

    1. Get my morning run in!
    2. Get my 30 day shred - Day 2 in
    3. Remember pounds go on EASIER then losing!
    4. Don't let stress control you focusing on diet and workouts!

    Well day one gone and was successful so now on to focusing on DAY TWO! ONE DAY AT A TIME!

    I love this one " 3) Read something motivational each morning so I think about it when I exercise."
