    January 9 Just for today I will
    1. Log everything I eat and stay in my goals :\ Did OK til 9pm then....
    2. Take a Walk :) short, but it was 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. [/quote] :) Not perfect, but I realized at midnight when I was getting upset it was time to go to bed. Better than starting an argument.

    So it's move back to college day for my daughter.
    January 10 Just for today I will

    1. Take a walk...this will be a challenge today
    2. Pay attention to what I eat...I may not be able to log, but that doesn't make the calories not count
    3. Stay calm. There will be mishaps today, but I can deal with them.

    Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

    Yesterday, 1/9

    1. PLAN things to do in the evenings to keep from eating. Tonite's plan - clean my office. :'(:'( Hubby and I decided to go to Sams, then we stopped afterwards at a Mexican place for a Margarita. Not planned. While fun, my weight is up this morning :'(
    2. Log everything that I eat :'( Did OK until dinner. We were going to go out to eat, but at the last minute, Hubby thought it was too cold to go out. Ended up eating a frozen pizza, but I did OK with only 1.5 pieces. Its the margarita I should not have had.
    3. Get out for a walk - just bundle up, and do it! :'( Only walking was done at Sams and Walmart - but at least it was a little walking.


    Just for today, 1/10
    1. Drink MORE water
    2. Walk
    3. Log everything I eat
    4. Stay busy in the evening. Brush teeth and stop eating!

    Just for today:
    1. I will enjoy my daughter's birthday dinner. I will eat smaller portions and not limit myself.
    2. No night time snacking. This is Day 11. Breaking this bad habit one day at a time.
    3. I will drink more water.

    I've learned and need to remind myself daily:
    - just because the food is there, especially FREE food like at a meeting reception or because friends got it for the whole table, doesn't mean I have to eat it. And no, I should not eat because I'm not hungry. I should not eat it just because it's in front of me.

    evenings seem to be hard for everyone including me. They say when you want to snack, drink a glass of water first, you might be dehydrated, causing you to feel hungry. have a good day we are in this together. 01/11/15

    Yesterday, 1/10
    1. Drink MORE water :)
    2. Walk :):) Felt SO good to get out walking - I walked almost 2 hrs, total distance 5.6 miles. The temperature was 27 degrees, but it felt like a heat wave!!
    3. Log everything I eat :'( So busy, and didn't get all my food logged.
    4. Stay busy in the evening. Brush teeth and stop eating! :) I did have a bowl of popcorn, but I kept busy sewing, and drinking water.

    Just for today, 1/11
    1. Drink MORE water. This is my hardest thing to remember to do!
    2. Do Ellipitical! We are getting freezing rain, so no walking today. But it is warm enough, that the room where my ellipitical is should be about freezing!
    3. Log everything I eat
    4. Brush teeth in the evening to stop the eating!
    5.

    Just for today 1/12
    1. Morning run (I'm going to have to get back into EARLY runs since OUR sale will be this NEXT weekend, :\:\
    2. Gazelle @‌ night
    3. Cleaning refrigerator, ugh ugh
    4. Water water

    Today it rained THE WHOLE day so lots of football and indoor exercise! I actually enjoyed the rain since its's seldom we have any! I'm kind of trying to get into the RIGHT mind set for the move! It's been kind of easy on MFP, the fact of it JUST being hubby and myself. WHEN we move GRAND KIDS and kids! The key probably WILL be portion control and keep exercising! (EVEN THOUGH IF IT'S REAL EARLY, LOL)

    On the bright side, I'm about 3 pounds from my lowest maintenance weight! So if things work out BEFORE I move, I can practice maintaining, lol.
