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!).

YAY!!! It feels so good when we can see the results of our hard work. Congratulations!0 -

January 22 Just for today I will
1. Log Everything I eat
2. Take a walk. Should be able to get a long one in today two medium walks
3. Drink 8 or more glasses of water
4. Forget about work for the day and enjoy the visit with my dad.
The scale did not move this morning. I should be upset (I've been so good recently) but really. it did not go up, so I am OK. And the sweatpants I pulled on for my walk are not hugging my thighs like they did last year, so I am getting somewhere.
Now, January 23 Just for today I will
1. Log Everything I eat
2. Take a walk. Early so I do not forget
3. Drink 8 or more glasses of water
4. Stay calm and look for the positive,
It is so much easier to look at some of these goals one day at a time. I can do this for today, I do not need to worry about tomorrow yet.
Enjoy your Friday!

3. Log everything I eat
4. DO not let the scale dictate my success
Just for today, 1/23
1. Today will be a busy day, so plan my food in advance.
2. Drink water, especially in the evening when I want to snack

Just for today January 24:
1.) I will do as much moving at work as I can before the two hour car trip to the show tonight.
