    Jan. 6th
    I will drink more water, at least 6 glasses but will aim for 8. Didn't quite make it today.
    I will exercise at least 30 min. today. only did 30 min. on bike but did defrost my chest type freezer, and that was a lot of work!
    I will stay within my calories (done)
    I will try to get as close as possible to 10,000 steps today. Due to my lack of regular exercise only got in 5500.
    On Tuesdays I go quilting all morning so do a lot of sitting which means not nearly so many steps.

    January 6 Just for today I will
    1. Log everything I eat and Pay Attention :) I made some questionable choices, but I did pay attention.
    2. Take a walk :) Yay treadmill
    3. Drink lots of hot tea.....hoping this is just a headache and not the beginning of a cold :I did drink tea, but I let work distract me and I did not drink enough. Maybe today.

    January 7 Just for Today I will

    1. Log Everything I eat and Pay Attention
    2. Take a walk
    3. Drink Hot Tea
    4. Stay calm at work. I can do this and whining about it does not help anyone.

    I really appreciate everyone here. Starting fresh each day is keeping me from dwelling on my slip ups and focusing more on what I can do better now.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

    Yesterday, 1/6
    1. NO SODA TODAY!! This will be hard, but I am really going to work on stopping the diet soda. :):):) Did not drink any soda, but had hot chocolate instead. Not a good choice though, as it added 300 calories to my day, and I think led to binge eating at nite :'(
    2. Drink MORE water! :) I already have drank 4 glasses! Off to a better start :):) DId drink a lot of water
    3. Log Every bit that I eat :\ No - can't even remember what I ate!
    4. Attempt to do at least 20 minutes on the ellipitical! Our unheated patio room is cold where I keep our ellipitical, but while getting dinner ready tonite, need to get out there!! :'(
    5. Do not get discouraged! The weight did not come on overnite, it won't come off overnite. Persistence! :'(

    Yesterday was NOT my best day. Way overate in the evenings - started out with just one bowl of ice cream, which led to another bowl, a small bag of chips, almonds. So upset with myself. But -- today is a fresh start.

    SO... Just for today

    1. DO not get discouraged. One day at a time. Do not let yesterdays eating turn into another day of mindless eating.
    2. Look for a low - calorie item on the menu when eating out tonite with my friend. We are eating at a Mexican Restaurant - so choose something healthy.
    3. Drink water
    4. Walk around the mall to get in my walking after eating out tonite.


    Good luck to everyone! It is so bitterly cold here - I will be so happy when it starts to warm up! Even our patio room, where I keep my ellipitical is 20 degrees! (its 12 degrees outside :'(

    I love this idea. I need to get back on track this year. On January 5 I began to concentrate again on eating right. My motto was "One day at a time." So 2 days of good eating, logging and exercising. Today, so far so good. I don't have time to write my goals for today but I want to come back to this.

    I would LOVE to join in! I need the support and accountability - when I am sitting alone in the evening or restless at home, its too easy for me to 'grab' something and not be accountable. I am currently coming off recovery from surgery, so I have not been able to work out for almost a month. Its been difficult and I am noticing the weight in my clothes and around my tummy.
    - Just for today, I will only drink tea or water this evening after dinner. NO EXCUSES!!!

    3. I will stick to my eating plan (and quit thinking I'm hungry when I'm not)
