    Fantastic thread Joan. SO glad that I've found it :) Is it too late to join?
    Its rather late here in the UK so just for today:
    1. I'm going to squeeze in an exercise dvd before bed
    2. Have a protein drink after, and
    3. Log everything I've eaten today

    Well after doing the ironing last night I failed miserably on the first of my two aims for the day

    Good morning,

    I did well yesterday and accomplished all 3 of my goals:

    Just for today (17/1):

    1) Don't give up - definitely didn't do that!
    2) Go to the gym and exercise 30 minutes (first visit since June!) - did the treadmill for 35 minutes. Need to wear my FitBit though because I couldn't figure out how to log my speed properly since the fitness diary doesn't offer higher than 5.0 mph. Ended up logging it as race walking.
    3) Track all food - came in under my calories but only because I didn't want to eat all my exercise calories.

    Just for today (18/1):

    1) Plan healthy dinners and breakfast for next week
    2) Dance for 30 minutes or go for a 30 minute walk
    3) Track all food

    Joan, what a great idea! I need this. I hope it will help keep me accountable and inspired. I have a long road ahead of me.

    It is 12:38pm and today I have:
    1. Finally set up the FitBit tracker that bought myself for Christmas and downloaded the lolo Strength Cross Training apps to add variety to my workouts
    2. Walked 6971 steps - hope to reach 10,000 by end of day
    3. Drank 5 glasses of water - hope to reach 10 by end of day

    I exceeded my walking and water goals! I was about 1500 steps short by late in the afternoon, so I went to the local mall and walked around for about 2 hours. By the time I went to bed, I had made it to 12,649 steps!

    Good morning,

    I met most of my goals yesterday. The tricky part was meeting friends for lunch at a Mexican restaurant. I just focused on the amount of food I ate and eating until full. Did pretty well and then had a light dinner later that evening.
    Just for Today (1/17/15)
    1. Drank 10 servings of water.
    2. Completed more than 30 minutes of run/walk intervals.
    3. Ate generally healthy meals (including snacks).

    Just for Today (1/18/15)
    1. Drink 10 servings of water.
    2. Exercise for at least 45 minutes.
    3. Eat five healthy meals, including snacks.

    January 17. Just for today I will

    1. Log everything I eat :)
    2. Take a walk :\ Nothing I will take credit for
    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. :) Well I did grumble a little, but I am making progress here, so I am giving myself credit for that.

    January 18 Just for today I will

    1. Log everything I eat.
    2. Take a walk. Outside if the rain lets up.
    3. Focus on the positive.

    Enjoy your Sunday Everyone

    I love this thread! I think it is exactly what I need to keep me motivated. I will try to commit to three challenges for my "just for today" posts. I will have a mental challenge; a food/drink challenge; and an exercise challenge.

    1. I will accept myself as I am. I will think about improving my health, not losing weight or looking skinny. My worth is determined by my attitude, not a number on a scale or a dress size.
    2. I will plan my meals for next week today so I have time to shop and prep before I get too busy.
    3. I will get out for a walk today.

  • Hi, this is my first day and I will
    1. Log everything I eat
    2. Exercise for a min of 45 mins
    3. Not have a glass of wine until Friday evening. :'( this could be the hardest
    4. Not eat after 7:00 pm

    Yesterday 1/18
    1. Get a long walk in. :) DONE! Walked 4.75 miles. It is beautiful out!
    2. Keep busy in the evenings to keep from snacking. I plan to sew :\ I did do some sewing, and trying to learn applique, which was more frustrating than fun. Ended up eating a protein bar out of stress, and then popcorn later. But I think with my long walk, calorie-wise I still did OK.
    3. Drink Water!! :\ Forgot to drink my water


    Just for today, Monday, 1/19
    1. Just because the scale was UP this morning, I will not let that lead me to eating unhealthy, or eating too much.
    2. Drink Water - remember to put a pitcher of ice water on the counter, and drink the entire pitcher
    3. Get out for another LONG walk
    4. Log every bite I eat


    Happy Monday everyone!
