01/02 Just for today:
3. "let it go" - not being able to keep a spotless house does not make me a bad person. I am not the only person living in this house and the only one working full time, I cannot do it all.
I know for me also, I try to do to much. I now don't really worry about the small stuff -- taking care of our health is the most important thing we have!0 -
I'm about to get my walk in but wanted to share this first:
I don't go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack.

I love this idea, and I am so glad I found this posting.
Just for today:
1) Log my food (check)
2) Increase H2O intake (so so 4 gl.)
3) Not eat bad carbs (did pretty well ate 1 pita w/ supper and tasted not even a tsp. of cake batter)
PS the cake is not for me.
4) Tell myself I am proud of myself for even doing this much.
Good night to all, going to Lumosity to work my brain 0 -

This is for tomorrow....but just for today I'm..

2. log everything

Just for today, I will:
1. Learn to like coffee with no sugar
2. Drink lots of water
3. Start tracking
4. Not have my usual Friday night glass of wine
I switched to real cream in my coffee. I only need one tablespoon which calorie wise is as much as the multiple servings of half and half or milk. It is more favorable and I learned after a few cups, now enjoy my coffee without sweetener or sugar.0 -
Wow, you are right. Biting at this one day at a time is mentally less exhausting then looking down that seemingly huge distance to the finish line. I completed January 1 and yesterday successfully, Here is what I am going to do, just for today, January 3:
1)Walk 45 mins on treadmill
2) Log in everything honestly and stay under calorie goal
3) I will abstain from alcohol, soda, sugar, and artificial sweeteners
4) I will not step on the scale

Just for today 1/2/15:
1. Do today's workout, and yesterdays (because life got in the way yesterday)
2. Stay in my goals
3. Log -everything-!
I find that trying to make up for something done or not done from day before doesn't work. Forgive yourself and move forward. If you work extra hard the day after you missed a workout, or the day after you went over calories, you should just be proud of the workout you did and not consider it the punishment for the missed one from the day previously or the "bad" you might have eaten. Good luck and keep focusing on the day at hand!

1. Really enjoy being with my family
2. take a walk
3. log everything I eat
Yesterday was one of the best family visits in years, even with the inevitable hiccups. Yes, I still have some dishes to wash and small messes to pick up, but I'm glad I let that go so I could really enjoy the company. Unfortunately, logging my food fell apart too, but I am willing to take that trade off for one day.
Now for January 3. Just for today
1. log everything I eat
2. drink lots of water/hot tea (I think I may be catching my husbands cold )
3. take a walk
Thank you everyone for the support and reminders that 1. yes we can do this and 2. If we slip up, we can try again tomorrow. Have a Fun Saturday!

I appreciate the advice, and normally, that is what I would do, but I am trying a 30 day challenge, and I really want to get all the days in. I also tend to have a "well I already missed one..." kind of mentality, so I am hoping this will help. I got it all done, and I am glad (and blissfully sore) for it nowIndependentMe wrote: »

Yesterday, 1/2/15
1. I will remember that sometimes I mistake THIRST for HUNGER. Drink a large glass of water, and wait 10 minutes before I go and get something to eat. Hubby wanted popcorn, which I made for him. I really was not hungry, but boy, it sure sounded good, But, I drank water, and made it through the evening without additional popcorn!
2. Still not feeling all that great, but I will try and do at least 20 minutes on the ellipitical Hubby wanted to run errands, so we went to Lowes, Home Depot, Office Depot, etc etc etc!! Does walking, killing time waiting for him count !!
3. Concentrate on drinking WATER WATER WATER!!! YES!
Today, 1/3/15
1. 1. I will remember that sometimes I mistake THIRST for HUNGER. Drink a large glass of water, and wait 10 minutes before I go and get something to eat

It is a rainy day today, so I have to work on not wanting to just "graze" all day!!
