Just for today --- daily commitment thread

I did pretty well yesterday, thanks I know to a great sense of accountability that I had "promised" someone (this community) that I'd make effort to get going again. Thank you, Joan, for ever thinking of this thread!

So, yesterday I got in my water, my Zumba, and did fine on cals even though I went out for steak dinner date with hubby . Brought over half home and did a bit of calisthenics to compensate...which is not how I like to do things. But the fact that I chose to care enough to make up for the cals this time (instead of just letting it go) is a good thing for me .

Just for today:
1. Stick to my calorie allotment (will not be compensating by exercise )
2. Drink my 3 pints of water/"free" liquids
3. Do my exercise
4. Do Happy things today because I will be home with my littles while hubby and olders are ice fishing--I need to stay in viewpoint that this day can be a treat of doing my own special something while they're away SO THAT I DON'T TURN TO FOOD!

One of you posted that "when I lie, I only lie to myself"...and when we cheat, we are only cheating ourselves. I also appreciated Joan's quote: "Every choice you make has an end result." Those are great things to keep in mind!

Grace to all of you today as you try to accomplish your goals.

Just for Today- Saturday- Will follow food plan, including tuna salad I have made to eat immediately after yoga when I'm so hungry, THEN food shop without feeling pulled to crackers (my nemesis). MFP option for "my recipes" is a great help to me!

So just for today:

1. Think of new short-term goal and reward.
2. Make 5,000 steps on the pedometer. I've turned inactive when I'm not at work.

Today I will reach my protein goal. I will drink plain water, not flavored water, and stretch since I have a 10 hour work day and family time seems more important than gym time.

Yesterday I almost met my goals, I had 3 beers instead of 2 so not too far off. This morning I went for a quick 3 mile run. Today is my cheat day so my goal is to drink 100 oz water and log everything even though I will probably be over. Happy Saturday All!!

Lovely positive thread Joan. I've been on MFP a few days and had a careless day today. This thread encourages us to forgive and start afresh.
For tomorrow

1. Weigh and record every morsel
2. Get in the sea or go for a long walk or both
3. Find alternative non sugary snack, no more highland shortbread
