    Just for today...
    Drink 72 oz water :)
    Log 3 miles on the treadmill (even if they are slower than I'd like) :\
    No junk food at work :)
    LOG EVERYTHING - lies of omission on my log are only lies to myself!! :)

    Have a great day! :smiley:

    Only did 1.5 miles on the treadmill. I am a little bummed, but I felt as though my joints were feeling sore and tired, and I really don't want to get injured and be stuck on the couch. I have a habit of starting out strong and burning out. My body is not as young as it used to be, and I'm carrying around a bit more weight than I used to be when I was running more regularly. I just have to be gentle with myself. Slow and steady...

    Just for today:
    Enjoy a rest day without feeling guilty
    Take a nice, slow walk at lunch to enjoy the slightly warmer weather
    Enjoy going out to dinner for my mom's birthday without being neurotic about it!

    I've looked at the menu and have made my semi responsible choices ahead of time. I'm down 10 lbs as of today...60 to go! :D It's a marathon, not a sprint...

    Seems like there is a dark cloud over us right now, and I can't see the light at the end. I have to work harder on looking at the positives, and hope we get to make the one-day trip to see our grandsons tomorrow.

    1. Stay positive. Things could always be worse.
    2. Exercise 30 minutes. I did not do this yesterday. I know exercise helps, so I need to concentrate and be sure this gets done.
    3. Do not eat for comfort. Food is for fuel - not for therapy! I need to remind myself of this everyday.

    Why not just toss the egg into the garbage? I have done that before when people insist on getting me candy.

    I think this thread is a great idea. Taking one day at a time is a good way to look at things. My two goals for today are:
    1) Exercise for at least 30 minutes.
    2) Slow down, relax, and take time for me.

    I met my goals for 3/5 it was hard to get motivated to run but I didn't want to have to come on here and admit I failed!! I also brushed my teeth right after dinner which totally helped me not do any late night snacking. So just for today 3/6:
    1) 80 oz water
    2) 40 mins cardio
    3) only 1 beer after work
    4) do some squats and sit ups even tho I hate them with a passion haha
    Happy Friday!!!

    Nah, squats are fun!

    I may change my tune on this Monday, after I do hundreds of them again after a week of almost no exercise at all. Uff!

    Today I will:
    Walk outside for about 30 or more minutes (depends on wether or not I have to climb a snow bank or two)
    Meditate for 15 mins
    Log
    Plan ahead for dinners
    Go to Pilates class
    Go to bed early again

    Have a great day everyone!

    Did everything but plan ahead for the dinners. I will make preplanning a priority as I make better choices. Glad I'm getting to bed earlier now that we'll be losing an hour on Sunday w/the time change.

    Can you give the egg away?? I have a weakness for them.
