    Happy Friday All!! Well yesterday I got in my water but went way over on calories. I LOVE to run in the mornings, the endorphins really get flowing but I hurt my foot and couldn't run yesterday so I pigged out last night. I don't think I can go running for a few days so I am pretty bummed, without the cardio I can only eat 1200 calories which just seems impossible to me. So just for today 3/20
    1) eat veggies so I feel full
    2) know that I will NOT starve to death on 1200 calories
    3) do not run no matter how much I want too, I have to let my foot heal. I can live without those endorphins for a few days.

    Checking in again. About 2 hours on the treadmill while I worked on the laptop. Better than slouching in the desk chair.

    - go for it during bootcamp (which is taking place during an 85% solar eclipse over here in the SE of England!) ☺☺ Oh yes I went for it all right. Hard, buy good!
    - stay within net calories
    - - Stay calm and relaxed vs jumping bean when my ill friend visits. Partially.
    - be grateful for my health ☺

    Love this thread! Another day being true to myself. For me, that's mostly what bothers me when I have a bad day...breaking my word to myself. I like making a promise to myself and keeping it.

    Today:
    Not let the scale (and it's lack of movement) ruin my day. Persistence!
    Log everything and check in at night to make sure it's completed
    Don't allow getting busy with work to translate into eating poorly
    cut down on the avocado's, they are bumping my calories too much

    yesterday not the greatest food choices and not a lot of walking largely because of the rain and going out for lunch and just plain tired

    but just for today. 1) I will walk over 5000 steps today. my weekends are usually incredibly low in steps so I need to work on that to keep my progress going. 2) instead of browsing and grazing I will eat actual meals today. I'm hoping to not regain the weight over the weekend

    Don't try to make up for eating badly* yesterday by starving yourself or overdoing it at the gym today. Days like yesterday happen. Let it go. Just learn from it, DO NOT beat yourself up over it, and get back on the program today. Moderation!

    1. Focus on my work list one item at a time as much as possible. Celebrate each item I complete and do not beat myself up over the tasks I still need to do. :) For the most part. I'm still behind but progress was made :)
    2. Move! Take a walk outside if the rain stops or just walk around the office. :) Forced myself to get outside for a walk around lunchtime. I feel so much better after a few minutes outside
    3. Log everything I eat. :| No junk, but I got busy and missed logging a couple of things
    4. Remember I CAN DO THIS today. I'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here. :) Yep. Just one day is doable

    Just for today I will

    1. Keep working on my work list. It will get accomplished with concentration
    2. Take a walk or two
    3. Log everything I eat
    4. Choose wisely this morning and afternoon. Taking my daughter back to school tonight, so dinner might be on the road and I want to have enough calories left to not feel guilty.

    Have a Great Saturday All
