I did not do this yesterday, and must be why I chose to go out to Mexican for dinner instead of eating my planned meal, so
Just for today, I will:
1) Be patient and thankful
2) Follow my meal plan
3) Take the stairs at work
4) Drink at least 90 oz of water0 -

I met my goals for yesterday and am now within a pound of my next goal. My friend calls it "making the next decade" when you go from , say, 180 to 179. That's where I am, down from 209. What helped the most was doing a food diary in MFP for the whole day, knowing I had the right calories, then I just followed it for the day. Will do same today. Challenge will be eating out tonight. I will review the restaurant's menu on line and make a plan! Thanks everyone!0

Be kind to myself, and remember to take things day by day...
Pretty successful day yesterday. I acquired a nice pair of blisters on my feet from a long walk in my birkenstocks at lunch (warm enough for sandals?!). They are so comfy, but my feet need to build up a bit of toughness to deal with the very high arch. Ran anyway after work with some blister bandaids, but the ol' tootsies are a bit worse for the wear, so I'm planning on taking a day off to rest them up a bit. I am going to stop at the gym to maybe do some cycling, and I knew I'd like to incorporate weights into my fitness routine, so maybe I'll have to consider that as well.
Just for today:
Only one slice of pizza at the work function (purpose is to welcome me and some others to our new unit so it would be rude to decline)
At least 85 oz of water!
Get to the gym and do some low impact cardio and some weights!
Tomorrow is Friday! Sending lots of positive thoughts out to everyone.0 -
I weighed today and lost 3.2 lbs since my last official weigh in on 2/26/15. I went under 170 to 169.4 lbs. I'm so happy!!! Happy dance going on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, it has really helped putting my goals down her and logging on here everyday. I also try to put my calories in everyday and my exercise, though some days I fall short especially when I feel that sense of shame for over eating. I know that can be a big part of downfall, because I get on the feeling bad about one choice and then make multiple bad choices and sometimes for days.
I have always been of the philosophy when I start this weight loss journey 2 years ago that there is no food off limits, that everything is on my diet as long as I eat it in moderation. I'm also trying to remember that there are no good or bad foods and that when I eat something I enjoy that I should do that, enjoy it and move on.
Anyway, Just for today
1) Get my stationary bike, elliptical and walking in (Done this am!)
2) Stay under 1200 cal
3)Drink 6-8 glasses of water
4) Keep a positive mindset
Everyone have a great day and keep posting! It works!0 -

Rae, honey, thank you for sharing! I love this!0 -
Yesterday I met half of my goals. I went a little over on calories and didn't figure out a strength training routine. Not too bad of a day overall, I was just STARVING so ate more than normal and had a couple of beers and those calories add up quickly.
So today is a new day with new goals so for 3/12 I will:
1) 80 ounces water
2) 30 mins cardio
3) resist the donuts my coworker brought
