So I have only 1 goal for Monday:
- hit net calorie goal. Single minded l'y
Need to do this or risk starting to put on the 12 lbs I've done so well in shifting so far. And I have another 128 to go so keep going.0 -

Yesterday , 3/14
1. Eat dinner later, and plan and eat only planned snacks tonite![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
I was doing SO well, then got into the cadbury eggs. Our grandsons are coming for Easter, so I wanted to make sure I had cadbury eggs bought. Well - one egg led to another egg, which led to some mixed nuts, ice cream, etc. But, sunday is a new day!
2. exercise - take a LONG walk today
The good thing was that I walked over 6 miles yesterday, so hopefully that burned up the damage I did in the evening!
3. drink water - Not so good on the water.
Here is is -- 8:30 pm, and I'm just now posting my goals. But since the day is almost over, I will post anyhow/
Just for Today, Sunday, 3/15
1. exercise -- which I did!! I walked 3 miles, then worked in the yard for 4 hours! Cutting back honeysuckle, cutting back grasses, raking leaves, etc. SO as for exercise, I did great.
2. Drink water -- I am going to concentrate on drinking water tonite, because I know with all the yard work I am dehydrated!
3. Log all my food
You guys are all doing so great! I love seeing new ones join, and all of your posts are keeping me so motivated. I have done really well this week. Trying to lose what I had gained, so I can start losing new weight again! So thank you all!0 -

I bet if you average out your days, you will realize how great you have been doing. 2 days will not hurt you -- I know you are going to get right back on track!!

Ruby - we missed you. Glad to see you back. And yes, your #3 is so important. Sometimes we have to just step back, and enjoy the moment. That is part of taking care of ourselves also - so I hope you had a great day today, and had time to just enjoy the moment!

"kwfitgal;31693843" (How do you just take out a little of an entire post and quote it?)
You should have a "quote" with brackets around for the beginning of what you want left in, and a "quote with a slash before it, also in brackets to end. So you can go in and delete anything that you do not want left - only leave what you want. Just make sure you have a "quote" to start and end. Your reply, or what you want to write, would be after the ending quote. Does that make sense? Sometimes I have to do it a couple of times to get it to work, but this is how it should work.0 -

Just for today (Saturday), I will:
1. walk with my best friend for two hours minimum
2. laundry, laundry, laundry
3. do a relaxing yoga routine on my one day off replaced it
4. Be in bed by 20:30
but I did stay u[ doing dishes, getting meals ready and showering... all things I greatly appreciated this morning.
Just for today, my goals were partake in 30 minutes of exercise and stay positive. I wasn't sure what sort of activity I could manage during my 13hr shift; I did manage more than 30 minutes. I was feeling just a bit low today, and having a simple goal to stay positive really helped me today! 0 -
Thanks Joan for showing me about the quotes. I got it!
To FeistyJoJo: I'm new on here, but I've really appreciated your honesty and you have a beautiful smile (on your little photo). I hope you can keep your eyes on the bigger picture. Let the last few days go--Yay! that you've lost 12! "You go girl" tomorrow, right?! .
To Ruby70: If you got your windows done, that is a very impressive accomplishment (and probably some good exercise too!)!
For today, I got in my walk and water. Some veggies. Cals over--I was doin great until hubby made yummy fish fry for dinner! HOWEVER, thanks to thinking of this thread, I am now choosing to down another pint of water instead of munch (which is what I feel like doing)!!!0 -

For today:
1. Protein shake for breakfast BEFORE leaving the house. (If I wait I'll eat junk at the office- I already know this)
2. Continue to log - such a motivator if I'm committed to honesty.
3. Walk around the block after work.
4. One more - Celebrate a 3.5 pound loss, but aware that it's just an isolated number and the bigger celebration is that I've been using MFP daily for 2 weeks straight and it's allowing me to make much better choices!

2. log everything else eaten today
3. Get to gym for strength training week 3!

Didn't check in over the weekend as I usually do this in downtime at work. Weekend was good, but not great. Didn't log, but put all the food in this morning. A bit over in calories, but not crazy. Expected to see a bit of a bump on the scale with high sodium foods this weekend combined with the time of the month approaching, but it wasn't too bad.
Just for today...
Drink lots of water
Get out for a run tonight
Be conscious of hormone based food cravings vs hunger
Happy Monday!0 -
