    Forgot to do mine for 1/4.

    Just for today, I will:

    1. Do my first run of Couch to 5K (downloaded the app last night!)
    2. Do lower-body work if the weather is still bad and I can't get outside to run.
    3. Start thinking about how I can have an exercise area in my room.

    Just For Today 1/3:
    I will drink 8 glasses of water :)
    I will log every morsel that goes into my mouth :)
    I will stay within my calorie goal :)
    I will WALK the Christmas tree down to Recycle Center :)
    I will go to Crossfit :)

    Just For Today 1/4:
    I will drink 8 glasses of water
    I will log every morsel that goes into my mouth
    I will stay within my calorie goal
    I will take a leisurely walk and rest my aching body
    I will preplan (and log) lunches for work this week

    I am down four pounds since 1/1 (which I know isn't "real," but it is hugely motivating)! Have a great Sunday everyone!

    Just for today I will: 1/4/15

    1. Log everything I eat. (I did really well yesterday. Working on thinking before eating!)
    2. Drink 8+ glasses of water. (I fell short of this goal yesterday; drinking a lot of water is a challenge for me.)
    3. Exercise in some way - even if by putting away most of the Christmas stuff. (Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs are making exercise painful - so I've avoided it.)
    4. Stay on track, even though we will be going out to dinner at our favorite Spanish restaurant!

    yesterdayt, 1/3/15
    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 :) Drank a lot of water last nite - No popcorn!
    2. 20 minutes on the ellipitical :'( I am still not feeling all that great, and our ellipitical is in a unheated patior room, so I didn't get this done. Hoping to today.
    3. Log EVERYBITE I eat! :) YES - even those M&M candies. I think the bag is almost gone though !!



    Just for today, 1/4/15
    1. DRINK WATER! This is my hardest thing to do , but I know it really helps.
    2. Log EVERYBITE I eat
    3. 20 minutes on the ellipitical

    I really feel for you. My hubby had plantar fasciitis -- not fun at all. Take good care of yourself. Maybe there are some chair exercises, or arm exercises you can do?

    Just for today I will get done the house cleaning tasks that I have set for myself. Doing those things gets me off the couch and burning at least a few calories!

    I just realized that should say 10 minutes, but it looks like they took away the option to go back and edit later. Or maybe you only have a limited time to edit.

    Splurged a little today went to panda express and had orange chicken ànd fried rice thought I was doing good until I documented the fried rice and saw how much sodium was in it ugh!!:( start back to work tomorrow after my surgery so got me some fruit and green tea to take with as I usually don't have time for lunch as I am usually putting out some little drama (middle schoolers). My three goals for tomorrow are:
    1. Keep up with my documenting of my food exercise and bp.
    2. Take time to go out and walk the track at least 2 times that will be half a mile.
    3. Talk to principal about starting a health/weight group at our school. (Talked today to several friends today at church about starting a group there - all seemed very receptive to the idea).

    Look up on YouTube for some chair exercise that you can at least get some cardiovascular and stretching movements
