    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).

    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.)
    !

    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?

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

    Starting a health/weight group at school or church sounds like such a great idea!

    I pretty much broke all of the Just for todays, yesterday. But moving forward and not looking back. "Failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts." -unknown. Just for today I will bring my lunch to work, log in all that I eat, walk on my treadmill for 30 or more mins, treat myself to a long evening shower and early bedtime.
