I can be doing everything right all day and then binge if I'm up too late. "Just for Today" I will get out of range of the kitchen at 10:00 P.M. or shortly after and forget about food.

Carol - this is the same problem I have. I do so good all day, only to give in and eat too much in the evenings.

Same here. Trying to loose weight for years and this nasty habit has me steady gaining instead.

J42day:
Today's goal was to plan 2 healthy famil dinners and shop for them.
Oops, got to Costco but did not get everything I needed for family meals. But at least I have a plan! Minestrone tomorrow night and chicken legs on Friday night. (Thursday night my son is in a play at school so I need to think about when / where we're eating before that too.)

Tomorrow goal, J42morrow
- Get to gym early enough for good warmup before strength training
- Get up early enough to eat a good breakfast
- Drink 6 glasses water

February 4th -
Just for today;

1. I will exercise at least 180 minutes.
2. I will drink lotsa water.
3. I will be open to new possibilities.
4. I will get rid of at least one useless piece of clutter.

Just for today, I will pay attention to what triggers my impulse eating...and be mindful of how it makes me feel.

I met my goals for yesterday! Just for Today I will:
1) log food
2) drink my water
3) meditate
4) 8,000 steps

Just for today: I would love to cut out my excessive snacking. I have a tendency to overeat snacks usually at around 2-3. So today I want to try and eat a healthy snack(carrots and humus) and try and keep busy till dinner at 6ish.

I lost a ton of weight about a year ago and then it started to slowly come back on. I am back at the weight I was when I started, frustrating, but I like how you put it. If I can stay on track, just for today, maybe that could build into two, three and so on! Staying positive and appreciating the journey today.

I am not perfect. Had all intentions of trying a new exercise class last night, but it was at 6:40 PM & once I got home I didn't want to go out. I should have known better. I think I will try it again though another time -- see if that keeps me from snacking at night.

Just for today, I will
1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
2. Track what I eat
3. Eat smaller meals, with snacks in between

Just for Today February 3

1. log or at least write down everything I eat I was at least paying attention and not eating mindlessly. but I did not write anything down
2. Keep water at my desk and be sure to keep drinking I am getting better here. Definitely successful Wednesday.
3. Take time to enjoy the moment and see the humor at work, even if the stress level is increasing. I've survived this before, I can do it again. Yes, the stress did get to me Tuesday and some things were NOT funny. But......I was able to recover pretty quickly and I am focusing much more on the positive.

It looks like I will be here only every couple of days the next week or so. I'll keep checking in and posting as much as I can with my work schedule. So with that in mind, just for Today (February 5) I will

1. keep track of what I eat. Log or write down honestly.
2. Keep water and my desk and Drink! This is making me feel better.
3. Keep a positive attitude at work.
4. Do Not lose track of time. Getting behind makes everything harder.

It's great to see everyone here. Remember, these little goals do help, but even if you do slip, just setting the goal and making an attempt is progress. Do Not be too hard on yourself!

So I did not get up early, was LATE for the gym (my husband locked himself out of the house so I had to go back! lol) and I think I drank 2 glasses of water instead of 6. But hey, I worked out and stayed way under my calories and logged everything that went in my mouth. Still on track!

So what's tomorrow's J42day for me?
- 6 glasses of water
- We're going out for dinner tomorrow - I will stay with a lean protein and/or a salad with no grains. I know I can do it!
- No sugar! ( I slipped today - I'd like to stay sugar free until Valentine's Day but omg there is a lot of candy around right now - has anyone noticed that!??)
- Cardio of some kind

Yesterday's fast food goal was not met. I ended up with fast food, and eating it after 8:00. I feel yucky this morning because of it!

Just for today Feb 5th Thursday
1. Drink lots of water
2. 5 fruits and veggies
3. No eating after 8:00 PM

Just for today Wednesday February 4th
I've been thinking about this one, because it's my late night and I may not even get supper till right about 8:00.
1. Snacks under control
2. 5 fruits and veggies
3. work out - done!
4. Eat slowly and give my brain and stomach time to catch up (Wednesday nights are notorious for me eating too much fast food because I'm gone a minimum of 12 hours)
5. So #4 makes me think... just for today no fast food

Yeah, I messed up yesterday and the day before too on my J42day goals! Good thing that is behind me and I can start fresh today!

Sounds rough! I don't know what I'd do. Probably try to forcemyself to snack on something satiating (is that a word) like nuts, or apples/carrots with a nut butter earlier. Also drink water to feel full.

And then there's the thought of trying to fix something healthy at 8 pm when you're tired and starving.

My fast food go to these days is Chipotle. It seems to actually work with my diet and feel pretty healthy. Or is there a way to always have leftovers from Tuesday available Wednesdays?

Good luck with today's goals!

Just for today 2/5/15
1.) walk at lunch and get in over 10,000 steps today
2.) have a light supper since I am having a subway sandwich for lunch today
3.) be strong and positive for those around me

Just for today

1. Log my food
2. think before I make a meal so that it is healthy but also delicious and appealing.
3. Just move some today

Thank you Ruby. Number 3 just really touched me this morning.
