    I love this method. Thank you for starting a thread!
    Just for today, I took it easy on myself. I worked hard to keep my chin up, questioned my cravings (turned out I was cold, not hungry) and went to a fitness class I didn't want to go to. Had so much fun, and found my motivation to come home and eat a salad. I even squeezed in 20 push ups (with some motivation from my boyfriend). Tomorrow I'll squeeze in a little more exercise too!

    Great job, be proud of yourself and do it again tomorrow!

    I am new to mfp and today I am over my calories by 35, I am finding it hard to maintain satisfaction. I am NOT a water drinker nor do I drink much of anything - tomorrow is a new day and I hope to stay under the calories, just for today, i forgive myself

    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!!!

    1. Log everything I eat and stay in my goals :\ Well I did log everything but had a few cookies while I helped my daughter pack. Ah Well, today is another day
    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. :D Well, mostly anyway. I think I went back into Mom mode when trying to get her things packed up. ;)

    1. Log everything I eat and stay in my goals
    2. Take a Walk
    3. Stay positive. Work will be crazy and we have a lot of packing to do, but getting upset will not make any of it better.

    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. >> Accomplished, although I went overboard on donuts :(
    I will eat an abundant amount of veggies at lunch and before going out to help myself feel full. >> Did not do, due to being full from donuts!! :\
    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!!! >> Success!

    Just for today, 1/9/15,
    1. Drink 100oz of water
    2. Log everything!!
    3. Oh, and don't eat the donuts ;)

    just for today 1/3

    1. i will get in 8 glasses of water (this is a challenge on weekends, when I'm not stuck at a desk with a glass sitting next to me) :)
    2. do 5 minutes of meditation :)
    3. log everything I eat :):):)

    I feel pretty proud on logging what I eat! Logging is something I have only done when I'm on top of things, so of course everything looks good. But lately, I'm working on logging the good, the bad and the ugly.

    Yes, I find keeping my diary secret helps me be completely honest. Other times feel like sharing it keeps from eating something i will have to admit. Try it both ways, see what works best.

    Sometimes, I find sometimes people judge you by WHAT and HOW much you eat! There's times people tell me, I NEED to eat more! I'm been on MFP for three years and know what works for me, lol. When, I get sick of it off goes MY DIARY! Good luck with your journey
