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.

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!

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
Nicole

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.

I hatt good day wen for 30 mines exercise.bak to work mondY.hopply I wan eat much after I gett off

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.

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

Just for today: I am going to drink water. No diet colas. AND I am going for a long walk this afternoon.

Just for today, I will
1. Log everything.
2. Stop trying to lose 2lb. a week and go for 1.5.
3. Avoid the elevator; climb the 44 stairs. Twice.
4. Do not skip the exercise class today.

hello everyone, great positive posts. I don't mean to be a a buzz kill but just need to vent and get this off my chest.

I am really struggling right now. I was tracking all my food in January and then it became so hard to keep tracking I decided to not track in February but really focus on the exercise. I also decided not to weigh for one month since the scale has a way of making me give up when it does not move. I have really increased my exercise for January and February... I weighed last week and I was up 2 lbs from last weigh in. It was basically the same number I started at the beginning of January. I felt so deflated. It even made me not want to keep exercising anymore. Where is the balance? I find it hard to live on 1300 calories a day. I know that is what I have to do but I do not like what I have to do to achieve what I want. I do not need to be model thin either but I just don't want to continue to keep going up in weight. I just want to be around 150... I have like 25 lbs to lose

Just for today 2/23/15
1.) do not give up on me
2.) get on the treadmill and do my exercise

Grandma Jackie - love your pic of your new grandbaby, precious That brings a smile to my face. Keep us updated on the bike adventure!!

Ruby70 I feel your pain it's so discouraging to get on the scale and not see a lower number. I also struggle with only eating 1300 calories, I am always STARVING!! Just remember when you are working out you are building muscle and losing fat so it's not what the scale says but how you feel. It takes time for the body to change but if you keep it up it will.
