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.0

I would like to join in if I may.
Just for today eat healthy and nutritious foods.
Walk 6 miles on the WATP video.
Walk to a meeting this evening and walk home so I get a little bit of fresh air.

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

Just for Today:
Stay under my daily calorie requirements
No processed sugar items
Take my dogs on a nice long walk0 -
Saturday 3/21
Go to the gym immediately after work
Log everything
Set my alarm tonight for 8am boot camp tomorrow morning
That should do it!0 -
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

This thread is so motivating! Great reminder to take it just one day at a time. Everyday is an accomplishment!
My goals for today(3/21)
Drink plenty of water - it's harder on the weekends
Elliptical & yoga today
Study0 -
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!

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.

Yesterday, 3/13
1. try and get in a walk or ellipitical Worked in the yard 2 hrs, then went on my 4.5 mile walk!
2. DO NOT get on the scale I have to just peek - and luckly my weight is not up because of my bad day 2 days ago.
3. Keep sugar within MFP guidelines Hard to do, but doing it.
4. Vision myself 20 lbs lighter by next Christmas - keep that visual picture alive.
Just for today, saturday, 3/14
1. drink lots of water since I plan on working in the yard a lot today. I am seeing a pattern that if I am actually thirsty, I want ice cream or sweets. It is thirst, not hunger!
2. Log everything I eat.
Hope you all have a great saturday. It is suppose to be 71 degrees out today, so hoping to soak in some sunshine!0 -
Just for today, I'm logging everything that I eat0

Argh. Lost the rest of my post. Typing again.0

Just for today, I'll do a set of crunches on my ball.
I had an "Aha" experience regarding my just for today's. I do not set weight loss as a just for today, because I weigh what I weigh. Gravity, you know. Instead I choose something I can control, like the amount of water I consume, that affects my life quality and my weight loss.
And I find it works best for me to pick just one thing. Something perhaps I didn't do so well on the day before. That way I can focus and achieve it.
I'll try posting evening on my work days. Have a great weekend, everyone!0 -
I love this idea! Take it slow, one day at a time.
Just for today, I willl...
1) Log everything I eat.
2) Do 20-30 minutes of cardio, even though I know I will hate it the entire time.
3) Hit my protein goal for the day.
4) Assume positive intent with everyone to stay in the great mood I've been in all week!!0 -
Just for today, I will....Stay focused and positive, Exercise every day, Keep negative thoughts from creeping back in my head and help others who need motivation.0
-
Just for today 3/21, I will
