    I have some strange level of motivation recently and I'm hoping I can make some progress this time.

    1. today I will brush and floss my teeth after dinner :neutral_face: I brushed but didn't floss
    2. drink coffee with only milk and not creamer and sugar . I was good on one cup but didn't realize how bad the office coffee is. So I'm going to work towards just kicking the coffee thing and going back to tea, especially since I drink that black.
    3. apply sunscreen prior to walk :smile:
    4. document food eaten today even if not measured. breakfast and lunch yes, pm snack and dinner nope
    5. stay away from office candy jars :smiley:

    Mixed results yesterday. Just for today, I'm going to try the same things again, except for the coffee. The coffee will be doctored, but I'm only having one cup

    Ok, 2nd time posting. Hi all! I'm Gigi from WNY snow country.

    My goal is to keep checking in to MFP for the motivational support. I think that if I can make it a daily habit, I will stay on track more. Right now if I slip up for a week or eat 2 whole packs of girl scout cookies (last week's sins) well, that's just my bad. I think having a supportive group that I feel accountable to, have regular reminders from them, and daily motivational reading that my behavior will improve.

    So rather than focus on any particular weight goal right now, I'm trying to build this new MFP habit.

    Just for today:
    1. Get back to keeping calorie goal without exercise compensating. ( :) Only compensated for about 100, not 400 like I did the other day!!)
    2. Drink 3+ pints water. ( :):) )
    3. Exercise 20+ minutes ( :):) )
    4. Try to do better today on enjoying my children! ( :) Better--even played a couple games)
    5. Hang some pictures--some walls are too bare! ( :) Oops! Will try again today)

    Just for today:
    1. Keep to calorie goal
    2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
    3. Exercise 30 min.
    4. Enjoy my children :)
    5. Get my pictures hung!

    P.S. Thank you again for this thread! I'm down 2 lbs. since I started (out of goal to lose last 20). Yay! I saw this idea in a mag. and so got to move 2 "pebbles":

    Take 2 identical glass jars. Label one with "Pounds to Go" and the other with "Pounds Lost" (or some similar meaning--whatever words work for you :) ) Take as many glass beads/pebbles/marbles/"stones" (something pretty :) ) as you have to lose and put those in the pounds to go jar. Move the stones over as you lose the weight. For some of you, the jars would be a bit bigger with lots of stones, but what an incredible visual once the "Pounds Lost" jar starts to be the fuller one! Having this up on my kitchen window sill is a reminder of my goal, and it is a fun little celebration to move every small increment over and fill the YAY jar!!!

    Have a super day everyone! :)

    Just for today.
    1. Eat only my calories without using the exercise calories.
    2. Keep my snacks limited to fruit, veggies, and milk with protein powder.
    3. Cook a good, healthy, tasty dinner tonight.
    4. Slow down and focus on my weight routine. Check, did that today and man I am sore! Sometimes you loose focus and just go through the motions.

    Have a wonderful day!

    New to the community and this post. It's just what I need! My goal for today is to get my water and protein in for the day. I've been lagging in both areas and that accounts for the stagnant weight loss, I know.

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

    Did not go fit a run do to an unexpected visit to the vet. That's life. Was very frazzled due to this, so my quiet time was sacrificed. Did drink water and stay in my calorie goal though, so that's all good.

    Today:
    - Workout!
    - Stay under calorie limit
    - Get to bed before 11pm
