When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

So glad I found this thread. I need to take this day by day, or I will never get back to a healthy weight.
So for today (tonight), I will:
1) Stop berating myself for going over my calorie goal
2) Remind myself tomorrow is another day
Thank you, Joan0 -

1. Log Everything I eat and Pay Attention Bad choices, but it's logged
2. Take a walk
3. Drink Hot Tea should have had more, but better than the day before
4. Stay calm at work. I can do this and whining about it does not help anyone. This made the day feel much better
January 8 Just for Today I will
1. Log everything I eat and stay in my goals
2. Take a walk
3. Enjoy these last couple of days with my daughter before she goes back to college.
4. Treat her as the adult she is now. Suggestions are OK, but do not tell her what to do.
I know the last 2 do not sound difficult, but they really can be. I am proud of the adult she is turning into, but it is harder than I expected to let go and watch her make her own decisions (and yes, mistakes, but as GrandmaJackie reminded us earlier, this is how we learn and grow),
Have a Terrific Thursday Everyone!

Yesterday- Just for today
I will drink 10 cups of water, and practice eating more slowly!
Almost made #1, and #2 was a good exercise! I forgot when I started dinner but as soon as I remembered I practiced eating slower.
Just for today, 1/8/15,
I will NOT be upset about going over my calories (going out to dinner to celebrate my birthday). That being said, I am planning to only have 2 pieces of large pizza and a small or regular size ice cream.
I will eat an abundant amount of veggies at lunch and before going out to help myself feel full.
I will also try to get to 100oz of water today... its an elusive thing for me these days, used to be no problem at all!!!0 -
Yesterday ---
1. DO not get discouraged. One day at a time. Did not do this. I get so discouraged when the weight does not come off faster. Need to change the mindset.
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. KInda - had a appetizer, chicken quesidella, which I guessed as low in calories. But gave in and had a margarita! Good, but later, wondering if it was worth the calories.
3. Drink water
4. Walk around the mall to get in my walking after eating out tonite. 45 minutes of walking after dinner!
Just for today, 1/8
1. I am really struggling with keeping my sugar low, so need to concentratate on NO Sugar.
2. Do not become obsessed with what the scale says. Just concentrate on eating healthy.
3. Drink more water
I love so much reading everyone's posts. And yes Jackie -- so excited about your new little granddaughter to come soon!!!0 -
It is SOOOO cold here today (-18F with the windchill) that it's making it hard to get out to the gym.
BUT for today:
1. I will make it to the gym and get some endorphins to continue to eat healthy/well.
2. I will enjoy all my yummy food because it's not a FAST day.
3. drink lots of water.
Still doing great on not eating eat night and sticking to eating smaller portions.0 -

I let the diet slide a bit over the holidays (though nothing like how I would have eaten in years past, thank Goodness) and it is proving easy to stay slid. No! I will not continue like this.
What do we say to soda? Not today.0 -

Not sure if I can join you by typing in this box but I read all of your posts and I love the concept you live by, just for today!
I dusted off my elliptical this morning and actually used it for 30 minutes, I've had great difficulty I'm moving this body for lack of energy and motivation but I've done a great job daily on logging my food intake however the needle on the scale appears too be stuck!
I'm 78 and can't even believe I'm still working on this issue of weight, I've struggled all of my life and continue to yo yo.
I need to lose 40 pounds and there's nothing I want more than to accomplish that so now all I need to do is figure out what needs to be done to make that happen, I'm in charge here and I've come too far to take orders from a cookie!
God has given me today and I made good use of it, I'm grateful!
If I'm given tomorrow I'll show my gratitude by doing another 30 minute elliptical session!0 -

1. I will STOP beating myself up over the extra weight
2. I will just push PLAY and get it done!
3. I will stick to my eating plan (and quit thinking I'm hungry when I'm not)
Just for today:
1. I will allow myself to take a nap because my body needs the rest
2. I will focus on the baby steps it takes to get to my goal
3. I will remember to appreciate my husband who is sharing this journey with me and gets up to work out with me even tho he could have slept in and done his workout later.
