Clean up the dinner mess
Do 2 loads of laundry
Read from my devotional before going to bed
I was able to accomplish all of these goals!!

Thank you. I wonder why posting my goals on here works better than having a list at home? I caught myself heading to be last night and going through the list in my head to make sure I had completed it! As long as I do it, right?

Congrats on accomplishing everything! I'm glad posting it here is helpful to you.

I did most of mine yesterday, but did not manage to get in my evening swim or get to bed at a reasonable hour, both due to the same cause which I complained about on my log already--I had a work project turned over to me at 5 pm yesterday (I was waiting for it all day and of course not being as productive on other things as I should have been in the meantime), and got stuck at work 'til 10. To make it worse it had started snowing so took me an hour to get home (normally I'd be able to grab a cab and charge it back and get home in 15 mins, but there were no available cabs to be found). I had not expected to be at work late, so didn't have any food there. Wow, was I tempted to eat the food that was available (cookies, chips, candy, chocolates), but I did not, and ate a normal dinner when I got home (luckily I don't mind eating late).

Today I brought some extra food in addition to my lunch, just in case: a banana plus some protein bar-type stuff that I can just leave here for whenever. I used to be good about keeping that kind of food here--also nuts and yogurt--but somehow fell out of the habit and I missed it!

Also, my house seems to be falling apart in that everything seems to need to be fixed at the worse possible time, but that's a separate issue I will leave for now. ;-)

Today's goals are simple (and similar):

1) Do some sort of cardio or a yoga class (doesn't have to be much, I'm okay with making it mostly a rest day, but the slippery sidewalks are making outside walking difficult so I want to do something).

2) Stay within calories and avoid sweets (my January project still). Log as perfectly as possible.

3) Get to bed at a reasonable hour and get 6 hours of sleep.

4) No caffeine after noon (I'm not at all sure this matters for me, but I'm testing it) and no diet soda. Keep track of the actual water I drink rather than just estimating.

5) Take a couple minutes to journal before bed and do the Examen.

I find posting them on here makes me feel more accountable then just writing out. I dont know if its just because others can see it but if it works..Yay!

The only thing I didnt complete on my list from yesterday was start cleaning the chin room. Although I did go in there but got side tracked and started playing on my tablet rather then just loading pandora. Also I was way way way under calories thanks to forgetting to eat at work and then going to the dentist. I think I had maybe 650 calories for the day! I cant wait for all these dentist appts to be over I have another tomorrow and two more next week...stupid cavities all from me putting off going to the dentist.

Todays goals are going to be almost a carbon copy of yesterdays. With the added step goal since despite it being in the teens later and snowing I am still going to do my walks at the resuce. Those pups still need love and time outside despite the weather.

1. drink my 3 water bottles 28oz before the dentist. (finish one before noon, one before I leave work & one when I get home)
2. no junk food
3. 7.5k steps (cold and snow so not going to push it to much)
4. work on organizing the chin room which has become my junk room

This evening I will go dancing. I may have to walk there as my usual lift is unwell, but if I do that is a twentyfive minute walk, mainly uphill, so good exercise.

I will not have a biscuit with my cup of tea during our break.
