    Yesterday, 3/1
    1. Log every bite I eat - no matter what. :)
    2. exercise minimun 30 minutes :) 33 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 back :) I 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!

    Just for Today 3/02


    It's my 12 hour work day and I didn't sleep well last night, so that's all I'm doing today.

    Hope you have time to rest Rae. When I am tired, I tend to want to overeat. Be kind to yourself :)

    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.

    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)

    I managed 1 & 2 but didn't do 3. Spent hours doing food prep last night but that should save me some time today and tomorrow.

    Just for today I will:

    1. Only eat the meals and snacks I brought to work and not be tempted by junk
    2. Do a good 2 hours of studying
    3. Do some stretching to improve my flexibility

    1. Take a walk. :D Left work for a short lunchtime walk around the parking lot
    2. Log everything I eat :\ Let myself get too busy.
    3. Keep track of time. Do my best not to be late today. :) I did much better on this.

    Tuesday March 3. Just for today I will

    1. Take a walk
    2. Log Everything I eat and no snacking after 10pm.
    3. Do not overpromise. I tend to take on more at work than I can reasonably accomplish which is very stressful.

    Have a Successful Tuesday All. You can do this for one day.

    I'm noticing so many of us struggle with the same all or nothing thinking. Me too. We did not get here with one extra snack. The problem is (or at least for me, and I think for some of you too) when I make that one poor choice, I give up and keep eating even more poor choices. I need to let myself enjoy my treat (planned or not) then climb right back up on the wagon and make better choices right away. This is the only way I can make any of this work for the rest of my life. One day at a time, one choice at a time, one tiny step at a time.
