    Hi .. I am two weeks in and I have lost 3lbs:)

    I have lost 85ils 3 times with WW and gain it back ..

    I beat myself up because of those three failures and it's been holding me back. I am determined to do this again without WW. Started at 267 last November and i am at 250 now .. 163 is my goal .. Needing a support team to keep me looking forward :)

    Just for today, I'd like to consume no alcohol at all. I've been overdoing it since the weekend and I need to get back on track.

    Yesterday 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. :\ Started to eat 1 90 calorie Fiber One bar, ended up eating FOUR!
    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 :\


    Just for today, 1/20
    1. Get a walk in
    2. Drink Water
    3. Log every bite I eat
    4. Remember that for me, sometimes just 1 bite of something unplanned leads to more snacking. No snacking - just eat planned meals and snacks.

    1. log everything I eat :neutral_face:
    2. return to low carb :neutral_face:
    3. 10 minutes of positive meditation :(

    Didn't really complete everything enough to give myself a happy face, but since I worked 12 hours and had to stop at the grocery store on the way home, I'm not going to stress over missing stuff. I did better than I would if I weren't trying :)

    Just for today 1/20
    1. log everything I eat
    2. keep it low carb
    3. 10 minutes of positive meditation
    4. do some core training

    Met goals yesterday...I'm finding this helpful as an end-of-day reminder.

    1. Do crazy-intense Zumba class.
    2. Get at least 15,000 steps for the day.
    3. Enter in my recipe for SW chicken soup and not guestimate on nutrition.

    done, done (17,000 steps) and done!

    Today:
    1. Get around 10,000 steps
    2. Low-impact workout only
    3. Start thinking about veggie-rich meals for the next couple of days

    I am hoping this will help motivate me each day. I have 61 days to my deadline and I need to spend these 61 days taking each day at a time, knowing that I can do ANYTHING for one day... and then the next day doing it again. So here are my Just For Today goals for 1/20/15:

    1. Stay within my calorie goals. I already have my meals planned for the day, so there is no reason I should stray from that.
    2. Bring water to my bible study group tonight and drink that instead of coffee. The coffee in and of itself isn't my problem, but the loads of creamer I add to it is killing my calorie goals.
    3. Make a menu for the next week. Knowing what I will be eating in advance helps me to stay on track, so I am not tempted to pop a frozen pizza in the oven for a quick dinner because I'm hungry (like last night).
    4. Try to leave bible study by 8:40 so I can get home and work out before bed.

    Have to say that I've been struggling since Sunday. My motivation comes and goes in waves during the day.

    1. Drink 10 servings of water. (Did)
    2. Complete at least 30 minutes of exercise. (Didn't do)
    3. Eat five small meals. (Did great until dinner time and then had a large meal.)

    Hoping tomorrow is more successful:
    1. Drink 10 servings of water.
    2. Complete 30 minutes of yoga.
    3. Eat five healthy meals.

    Yesterday, 1/20
    1. Get a walk in :) Only a LITTLE walk - 1 mile. But also did 10 minutes on the ellipitical. Just not enough hours in the day, but at least a little is better than none.
    2. Drink Water :'( This is my hardest thing. Have to remember that pitcher of ice water.
    3. Log every bite I eat :)
    4. Remember that for me, sometimes just 1 bite of something unplanned leads to more snacking. No snacking - just eat planned meals and snacks. :\ I did pretty good, but unplanned Weight Watcher fudge ice cream bars. One bar led to 2, which was an additional 200 calories. But -- better than a huge bowl of full fat ice cream.


    Just for today, 1/21
    1. Put that pitcher of ice water on the counter, and drink all of it.
    2. Walk minimum of 60 minutes tonite
    3. Log everything I eat
    4. WATER WATER WATER!!!!

    Oh goodness! Everyone's posts are so motivating! I'm 21 days late in starting but it's never too late right? And I so need this focus and accountability to myself right now. I want to have 10 pounds less of me by the end of February so here goes...

    Just for today, 1/21:
    - I WILL get in my run today before dinner.
    - I will log all my food. If I bite it, I write it.
    - I will stick to my allotted calories. When I hit my limit, that's it for the day.
    - I will drink my water and tea as that gets me through the hungries.

    Thanks and good luck to everyone on today!
