    Reminding myself, that, 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!!
    4. Keep a positive attitude. I can do this, and feel and look better by my 64th birthday in July. DO NOT GIVE UP!!

    Well I didn't get outside yesterday, but I did stay on point with calories and drink lots of fluids. I can live with 2/3, especially being under the weather!

    For today, I will:

    1. Stay under 1400 calories
    2. Make a delicious southeast asian flavoured squash soup
    3. Be proactive and ice/heat my shoulder

    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.

    Joan, my nights are hardest for me too, you are not alone. That is my favorite meal and I finally feel like I can relax. This thread you started has helped me so much!!! This is the best week I have had in months. Today I had to run errands and clean for a party I am having tomorrow at my house. I got the in over 12,000 steps without even doing a workout. Whewwww! Thanks Joan, you are doing great. Don't give up:)

    1) Don't give up
    2) Go to the gym and exercise 30 minutes (first visit since June!)
    3) Track all food

    January 16. Just for today I will.
    1. Log everything I eat and try to stay under my goals. :)
    2. Take a walk :)
    3. Leave work unless I really need to be there. I need this for my mental health. :) I left in the morning after my appointments and went mall walking until I was scheduled to be back And I also took a lunch break. :D Major progress for me.
    January 17. Just for today I will

    1. Log everything I eat
    2. Take a walk
    3. Stay positive at work. It's too easy to start grumbling when things aren't perfect, but focusing on the negative will not make me feel better.

    Have a Great Saturday!

    I started a thread in late October, to try to stay on track, "JUST FOR A DAY". We have had over 450 replies, so I am going to restart this each month. This has helped me tremendously, to start each day new. It has kept me going, and to keep on trying, one day at a time. And, I've met some wonderful friends along the way! Reading others goals for just one day has given me so much inspiration and goals to set for myself.

    If I can do this for JUST ONE DAY, well, maybe that one day will lead to another day, an entire week, an entire month, and this will help me to develop better habits for my life, taking this one day at a time.

    Today is the beginning of a new year. A new year for me holds promises, resolutions, and a fresh start. I am ready for that fresh start.

    So each day I am going to post what I would like to accomplish. While I post my "Just for today" list, I am also going to post how I did the day before, so I am accountable to you guys as well.

    Would anyone like to join me!! I am always so encouraged reading others goals, and together, we can all reach our goals for 2015 and beyond. I hope to keep doing this, starting a new thread each month.
