2. return to low carb
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

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 days0 -
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.0 -

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

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!

Yesterday's goals were:
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. (YEA! I didn't stray from my plan food-wise at all!)
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. (YEA! I brought water to group. I still did have a little coffee, but a lot less than I normally do at my group, and even what I did have had a lot less creamer in it.)
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). (BOO! I didn't get a chance to sit down and plan out a menu for the week, since I worked an hour later than usual.)
4. Try to leave bible study by 8:40 so I can get home and work out before bed. (BOO! I can't ever seem to get out of there until closer to 9:00, so by the time I got home it was late and I was wore out.)
So today, my goals are:
1. Stay within my calorie goals. Since I haven't planned a menu, I will have a chicken salad for dinner tonight.
2. GO TO THE GYM. I want to do at least 45 minutes on the treadmill tonight.
3. MAKE A MENU.0 -

Thanks and good luck to everyone on today!
Just for today, 1/22:
- The scale didn't move today but I will stick to my calories.
- I will not get discouraged and stray off track.
- I will log all my calories for a 4-day streak.
- I will get some miles in. Running would be best, but a good walk okay also.

yesterday, 1/21
1. Put that pitcher of ice water on the counter, and drink all of it. This is my hardest thing to remember to drink water!
2. Walk minimum of 60 minutes tonite I went for a walk, but it was so cold out, and I wasn't dressed properly- the walk was only 20 minutes. I was tired all day, and when I am tired I want to eat everything in site. So last nite after dinner, when I wanted to munch, I bundled up, and went out for another walk. I enjoyed it so much being dressed properly, and went on another 3 mile walk. Funny -- when I got home, I really didn't want to snack as much!
3. Log everything I eat
4. WATER WATER WATER!!!!
Just for today
1. Drink water!! I struggle so much with this. I know it makes me feel better when I am hydrated, and makes me eat less, so why is this so hard for me to do!
2. Bundle up, and go out for another long walk tonite instead of snacking after dinner
3. Log everything I eat
4. DO not let the scale dictate my success
That 4th point is so important. I get so discouraged when the scale does not move! Those 10 lbs I gained since Halloween are taking forever to come off. But I have to keep going.
Well, this morning I grabbed a pair of jeans from my closet, and they were tight! At first I was so bummed, thinking, man, I am walking, watching what I am eating. Then I looked at the tag -- they were a size smaller than I normally wear. (Yes, I have 3 sizes of jeans in my closet!).
So even though the scale only reflects .6 pound weight loss this week, hopefully I am toning up, living a healthier lifestyle. That is what really matters most - not the numbers on the scale, which only I see!!
