    Yesterday, 2/2
    1. It is very cold out today, 17 degrees. But later today, get on the ellipitical for minimum of 30 minutes. Even though it is cold, no excuses :\
    2. Log everything I eat, even if I go over :\
    3. Drink more water, especially in the evenings when I tend to want to graze more. :\

    Not the best day again. I've got to turn this around!
    So, just for today
    2/3
    1. Write down everything that I eat
    2. Drink water
    3. Clean closets tonite to keep from eating

    Joan, it's a great idea to be specific about what you will do to "keep busy" instead of snacking. Two things are accomplished. You don't snack, and you get something off your "to do" list! Plus if you have something specific, you can't meander around trying to come up with something to do, while snacking :open_mouth:

    Feb 2, made my calorie goal, plus went for a run. My run was a little short because I met my partner who was walking the dog, and I walked home with her instead of running the last km. Feb 3 my goal is to get to the gym. Had a 4.5 k walk before work.

    Ok, I'm in. Big leap here, as I'm not a group motivation / forum kind of gal, but going it alone isn't working. So I really need your help, and thank you.

    February goal = 5 pounds lost

    Just for today:
    1) make dinner, not get carryout
    2) do stretching
    3) meditate

    Just for tomorrow:
    1) start counting calories.

    I'm in! Nice to meet you all, hopefully it saves me from getting discouraged all over again.

    Goals for February:
    -Start bodyweight training at home. Found a great infographic to help me along the way, starting with the basics.
    -Continue avoiding my kryptonite foods, chips and chocolate.

    Just for Today:
    -Drink water with my dinner instead of Coke Zero
    -Cook a healthy dinner for my family

    Maybe having to report in here will help me stay accountable!

    I am the worst at this too... so for now I am just going to start on switching out water for certain times when I normally have a Coke Zero (suppertime!).

    Yesterday - I got on my elliptical machine for the first time in 6 years! I made it through 10 minutes. Might not seem like much, but for me it's a first step. I'm proud of my 10 minutes. I'm going to try for 15 tonight and 5 more minutes every day until I can get to 30. Lifted weights, logged my day. First day of accomplishing exercise and logging everything.
    - Today I'm going to:
    - drink at least all my water recommended.
    - I'm going to stick to my calorie limit.
    - 15 minutes (at least) on the elliptical
    - 30 minutes of weight training
    - get at least 7 hours of sleep
    - Be thankful for a good start

    I've done 30 minutes running and looked after my toddler a few times and found I've only done 6000 steps max! How on earth do you reach 10,000?!

    J42day - what a temptation last night. After I wrote that I wouldn't eat sweets at chorus rehearsal it was like they were calling to me! But I did it. I didn't even leave the rehearsal room to LOOK at the snacks. But I help clean up afterwards and man those brownies were calling me. But I figured, hey, it's just for today. ;)

    The thing I don't get about these message boards, is how do I find my way back to them? Today I did a search for J24day which worked, but sometimes I post on things and then I never see the thread again. Can I star it or something?

    J42day:
    - Plan and shop for 2 meals that will be healthy for the whole family     (as opposed to cooking for myself and giving the kids frozen, or vice versa. Why do my kids think the house is a restaurant? There is almost NOTHING that all 3 kids will eat. *sigh*)

    )

    If you click on the little star next to the thread title, that will turn the star "yellow". That means it is bookmarked. When you want to find this thread again, you just search your book marks. To do that, at the top of the page there is a bell, a star, and a flower-looking icon. Just click on the star, and it will show you all your bookmarked items. I hope this helps.

    I frequently get 19,000 steps in a single day.
    a. I am in a competition with my father. He almost always beats me. It's hugely motivating.
    b. I have a desk job, but I try to walk on most of my breaks...that can add up to 4 miles a day to my total. My normal walking pace is a 15-minute mile, so I am pretty fast.
    c. I work out for at least an hour every day--sometimes my workouts add as many as 8000-9000 steps.
    d. I often walk to the gym...that adds up to 1.6 miles round trip.
    e. If I need just a couple of things from the store, I walk. Basically, if something is within a 2-mile radius, I walk instead of driving if time allows.
    f. I have active hobbies, like dancing.
    g. I live upstairs...lots of steps.
    h. I do not currently live in a very walkable city. I suspect that during times when I did, I was probably getting in a lot more steps.

    I just had gallbladder surgery and a hernia repair last Friday, Jan. 30. I am still in a good amount of pain but working through it.
    My goals are
    1. drink lots of water...trying to drink 96oz. a day.
    2. Track my food, i have not been eating much for the last month and am having a hard time eating my calories that i need. I don't want my body to go into starvation mode.
    3. To get active.

    I will post tomorrow what my daily goals are. I am excited to start this journey.
