    I have been on a roller coaster of emotion for the past week. Had some family drama, which is not over yet. Learned some stuff that I now have to process and live with. t

    So very sorry you are going through a hard time right now. But remember, you are important, and take good care of yourself. I am one that eats for emotional reasons, and while I wish it would help, it doesn't. Eating healthy will help you to cope with whatever is thrown your way. But here are some hugs from me, and hope your day today is better. o:)

    Today was a great day food wise, but the worst for health with this terrible cough and now my shoulder and neck have gone out and are hurting terribly. Tomorrow is going to be a better one.

    Three goals:

    1. Keep calories under goal.
    2. Drink loads of water and tea.
    3. Get some fresh air.

    January 14 Just for today I will
    1. Log everything I eat :) Including the unexpected dinner out :D Free pie Wednesday :( I couldn't resist, but one treat will not ruin my journey
    2. Take a walk :D Not as long as I wanted, but I used lunchtime at work to walk out some frustrations rather than eat junk to make myself feel better.
    3. Stay calm and positive at work :) OK, not exactly perfect....many computer issues today, but I did not blow up or storm out and I was able to see the positive instead of focusing on the negative, so I count this as success.

    I need to keep reminding myself that making positive changes is a marathon, not a sprint. Of course I will stumble and even fall, but as long as I keep getting back up and moving in the right direction, I will get better.

    Now, for January 15 Just for today I will

    1. Log everything I eat and try to stay under my goals.
    2. Take a walk outside
    3. Do some housecleaning and meal planning for the next week

    Have a Good Thursday Everyone!

    Today I would like to track everything I eat honestly, come in under my calorie goal again, and consume no more than two alcoholic beverages (zero would be ideal but my friends are so generous...). I would also like to continue drinking plenty of water, as just getting the sodium-and-carb bloat down is already making me feel better.

    You guys are all doing so great-- so proud of you all! I have been doing terrible the past 2 nites, Why, when I know I feel worse when I overeat I just don't stop. The evenings for me are the hardest. But, these 2 days are over so I can start another day, another fresh start tomorrow.

    So, just for today, Friday, 1/16

    1. Do not let the past 2 nites lead to another bad nite. Either get out walking, or get on my elliptical, instead of eating,
    2. Drink water, keep a pitcher on the counter and no matter what---- drink the entire pitcher
    3. Log down everything I eat!!

    I am going to try hard tomorrow to end these binging nites. You guys keep me going!

    These are the things I have to do also. It is so easy to just give up, but I know how great we can all feel this summer if we keep going, and you are so right, bad habit will not change in one day

    2. Attend a group exercise session at the gym.
