Great idea!
Just for today I will:
1. Ignore these chocolate cravings
2. Go to the gym class I have booked
3. Do some stretching to improve my flexibility (which is very poor)1 -
1) drink at least 75oz of water
2) candlelight vinyasa yoga
3) I have to do yesterday's 3 mi on the elliptical (I had a little cold and thought I'd feel up to it with a little nap and Tylenol, but I felt worse...feeling pretty good now)
4) 10000 steps today2 -
Wow! I have not seen this thread before and I'm super excited to join it!
Just for today I will:
1) ignore the birthday cake oreos
2) go for a run
3) respond to my emails in a timely fashion2 -
Joan,
My stats are very similar to yours! I didn't lose or gain during February. In fact, since I started this program after Christmas I've lost only 2 lb. I am at 193 - my goal is at the most 180, but ideally 170. I am 54 and it is much tougher at this point in my life, so I will see how I feel at 180 and take it from there. Since late December, I have finally been back to work after raising four kids for 17 years. I am teaching 3rd grade now....and we have a snow day, so it's a good day to focus on me.
I love your thread; breaking things into day by day makes it so much more manageable to think about.
Just for today:
1. Exercise using yoga video or elliptical
2. Count my Calories.
3. Meditate.

1. Ignore the girl scout cookies in the pantry
2. Stay within my MFP goals
3. get at least 30 minutes of excercise1 -
This looks to be a great thread. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 & have about 40lbs to lose. My goal weight is around 150lbs.
Today I will:
Do a Pilates class
Walk outside (in the cold)
Try to cut back on sugar
Track
Eat more fruits & vegetables
Have an awesome day everyone!1 -
I will not go over on sodium0

This is just what I need right now! Thank you for starting this!
1) I will log everything honestly today (even if some of it is bad...)
2) I will go to the gym and exercise
3) I will eat healthy the rest of the day! Fruits and Veggies
4) I will weigh myself tomorrow, even though I don't want to
5) I will not use my break-up as an excuse to eat out of self pity
6) I will try not to worry and eat out of anxiety
7) I will go to therapy (no shame in this game! lol)
8) I will not beat myself up if I don't meet all these goals today
9) I will be grateful for what I have
10) I think I said it all!4 -
Joan, My month of February ended up pretty good (thanks to you and starting this thread!). I lost 1-2 lbs last month depending on the day I weigh myself it is fluctuating
I really appreciate being in this with all of you and getting the honest feedback when I need it. This is such a great group I am truly blessed to have found you. I started tracking my food again last week after getting feedback from all of you and it has helped. I am feeling really strong and positive. I came up with a 50 minute weight lifting routine to do 2-3 times a week and I accomplished doing it 2 times last week. (Thanks Azulviolet for helping me stop making excuses and get my head all the way in this and not 50%)
Just for today Monday 3/2/15
1.) do cardio at lunch today
2.) lift weights tonight after work
3.) track all my food0 -
Just for Today 3/02
1. log what I eat
2. forgive myself for the weekend
It's my 12 hour work day and I didn't sleep well last night, so that's all I'm doing today.5 -
This is just what I needed today - having a hard time not beating myself into a pulp for what feels like messing everything up (I know in reality that's not the case, but try to convince my emotions of that!)
Just for today 3/02:
1. Work on accepting the last 3 days of overindulgence and forgiving myself
2. Drink lots of water to flush all that crap out of my system
3. Go to sleep at an earlier time5 -
Just for today 3/02:
1. Warm-up with elliptical for 1/2 hour right after work.
2. 18 min HiitMax workout.

Yesterday, 3/1
1. Log every bite I eat - no matter what.
2. exercise minimun 30 minutes33 degrees out, and snow, but I got my walk in!
Just for today, 3/2
1. Log every bite that I eat - no matter what
2. minimum 30 minutes exercise
3. Do not look forward and worry about the future for my daughter. Take it one day at a time, and only look at the positives in my life, which there are many.
4. Do not turn to food for comfort.
Thanks so much everyone for coming backI don't have time right now to read all the responses, but I will later tonite.
I also love this thread -- you guys are my inspiration. Sometimes it is hard to admit when I eat 1400 worth of calories after 9pm. But you guys are all so wonderful and encouraging, it helps me to get back on track, and I hope when we are honest, it also helps others. We are not alone. Losing weight, and changing old habits take time. Sometimes it is one step forward and 3 steps backwards it seems, but as long as we keep trying.

Met all of my goals yesterday. It was an eye opener using the food scale for the first time !! I always thought I was guessing portion size weight pretty close....Wrong !!! lol
This is something I think I need to do also. Right now, I "kinda" measure my food. It does make a difference!

Well my weekend sucked but here I am back at it. I didn't log all of my food. Got to be too much and too crazy. So I did go to the fitness center and did 25 minutes each on the treadmill, elliptical and stationary bike. Back on track. Hopefully not too much damage for when I weigh in on Thursday.0
