    Just for today (tuesday) i am posting early so i can achieve. Work has been crazy busy. I left my house at 7:30am and did not get home till after 6 pm. Ate lunch at my desk. My lunchtime workouts are becoming hard to fit in. I need to try to regroup. Early mornings may have to start happening but i hate getting up at 5 in the morning.
    1.) Get in cardio
    2.) 10,000 steps
    3.) Be grateful i am employed
    4.) Look around and see the beauty in the little things that happen every day

    Just for today I will not snack after dinner and stick to tea. It's been an oddly hard day. I had to do a lot of writing for work and writing makes me want to snack.

    Just for today:
    1. Stretch every hour, esp shoulders and neck
    2. Go for a walk around lunchtime
    3. Eat the lunch I brought to work, and try to avoid office potluck
    4. If I do go to the potluck (for social reasons) and eat, only choose veggies and fruit - NO dessert, no non-Paleo foods

    Sorry I've been away for a while. Life has been crazy busy and stressful the last week. Unfortunately I let it get to me yesterday. I keep healthy snacks around to treat myself, but I know the entire box at one time is not the best idea. Oh well, I can't undo yesterday, so I just need to move forward and make better choices now.

    So........Just for today I will

    1. Log everything I eat.
    2. Prepare food for lunch and snacks so I don't get into the goodies at work
    3. Focus on the moments. Work when there, time with my daughter when I'm with her, time with my husband when I'm with him.

    I hope everyone has a good Tuesday.

    Sounds like a challenge! I wonder if you could find an enjoyable form of exercise that burns more cals in shorter time, i.e. doing zumba at home with an online video for 15 min burns more than the same 15 min brisk walk...more "bang for your buck". Maybe something like that may help in the midst of your time constraints until work isn't so crazy?!??
    And I appreciate your goal to be "thankful for your employment", even when hectic. I'm a stay at home mom--we have some challenging days sometimes, so thanks for the reminder!!! :):)

    Just for today...
    Drink lots of water :\
    Get out for a run tonight :\
    Be conscious of hormone based food cravings vs hunger :)

    Didn't go for a run (usually don't on Mondays, not sure what I was thinking) and the water fountain was broken at work, and the lack of convenience cut down my water consumption. (sounds lazier when written down!) Did do some snacking after dinner, but stayed in my calorie goals. Yay!

    Just for today
    - Go for a run!
    - Drink 80 oz of liquids
    - Take some quiet time to stretch and center the mind a bit.

    just for today, I will get my steps in, drink water, and stick to the lunch I brought with me instead of going out. So far so good on the water and the steps!
