    1. log everything I eat. I need to get consistent with this. :) I may have missed something small, but I did really well compared to the last few weeks. Today is another chance to get better.
    2. Move as much as possible. Hopefully I will get some time on the treadmill tonight. :'( All I wanted to do after work was sleep. Oh well, missing one day of exercise is not the end of the world right?
    3. Relax and deal with it. The roads will be awful, the clients will come and complain about the roads or cancel at the last minute, and we may be understaffed. Oh well, getting upset will not make any of that better. :) I did pretty well here. All of this happened except the understaffing. Some of my coworkers spent the entire day stressing about how bad the roads would be when we left work. But I was able to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing and I did get some work done that I have been putting off until a less busy day, so all in all I am calling this a success.

    Now it's Sunday, and the first whole day to myself in more than a month. :D:D:D

    Just for today I will

    1. Take a long walk. Or two if possible.
    2. log everything I eat. Honestly.
    3. Get some of the housework done while I have a chance. I have been relying on my dear husband to do this the last month and it's about time I helped.

    Have a Wonderful Sunday!

    Joan I love your post!! It is so true my mind can be my biggest enemy sometimes. Everyday we just have to get up and try our best, some days will be better than others and that is ok. My battle is learning to accept that and loving myself anyway. It is so encouraging reading everyone else's posts and how similar we all are. Thank you for sharing!!

    1) my one and only goal today is to stay within my calorie goal. we are having a neighborhood BBQ which is an easy time to overindulge
    Happy Sunday All

    So a good day. And have to confess am still feeling a bit hungry as I go to bed (no more water as I'll spend half the night getting up to use the bathroom!)

    So Monday's goals:
    - push myself at bootcamp to burn max calories
    - stay within calorie count eating back max 25% of exercise calories

    This coming week will be better as I can get to all 3 bootcamps. And I will.

    A fresh week and fresh weight drop challenge.

    Yesterday, 1/31
    1. Get out for a walk, no matter how tired :) Went on a long 5.15 mile walk today, which felt great
    2. Drink more water :)
    3. Keep a positive attitude. Look at the big picture of how I want to feel next summer :)
    4. Get on here and log every bite I eat. :'( Got into some ice cream tonite.


    Jan 1 - weight was 200 lbs
    Feb 1- weight is 194.6 lbs

    My goal this month is to lose another 5 lbs. I am still trying to get back to where I was before Halloween - which was 186.2! I get so upset with myself, I was only about 10 lbs from my goal weight. But, each day can be a new beginning.

    So if you guys posting would like to also post your goals here, it might be fun to look back at the end of the month to see if those goals are met?

    Just for Today, Feb 1st
    1. Drink water - minimum of 8 glasses
    2. Drink water in the evenings, as this is my hardest time
    3. Focus on the positive, not the negative. 2 years ago I was close to 220 lbs.
    4. Go for a walk, or if snowing, get on my ellipitical.
    5.
    I started using my fitness pal
    145 days ago
    I live it and always looking for someone to share it with
    I am down 8.6#
    This week I maintained
    Some weeks I have maintained but most
    Weeks I showed a loss
    Twice I showed .5 gain
    But I plug in everything
    I walk and my calories for the day are
    1840
    But rarely do I go over 1400

    One day at a time

    The best thing about one day at a time is that every day has the potential for success. My last post was on studying for my personal training certification and yay! I passed. :D

    Today I am going to log my food for the day after a respite of three days.

    1. Take a long walk. Or two if possible. :\ No long walks anyway. I did get some short walks in plus lots of moving with housework so I wasn't motionless anyway.
    2. log everything I eat. Honestly. :) did this. even when it looked like I was over my goal.
    3. Get some of the housework done while I have a chance. I have been relying on my dear husband to do this the last month and it's about time I helped. :) perfect? no way. ;) but the kitchen is clean, the vacuuming is done and I can find clean clothes. :)

    It's Monday! Just for today I will

    1. take a walk. short or long, I need a walk today
    2. log everything I eat, consistency is key here
    3. Stay focused at work. There is too much to do for me to waste time.

    I hope everyone had a least a little success over the weekend. As Joan reminded us, we need to change our mindset. Every choice we make is another opportunity to get it right. And a poor choice is not the end of the world, we just need to make a better choice next time. One choice at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time, we all can get healthier without getting overwhelmed or giving up. The key? Keep working at it, don't get discouraged when you do slip, and never give up.
