    Good morning everyone! I did so so this past week. Exercise was good but I so struggle with the food thing especially in the eveing. So my commitment is:

    1. Gym 4x this week (M, T, Th, Fr)
    2. Log honestly, each day!
    3. No food after dinner
    4. Eat with intention and awareness, not unconsciously!

    Thanks for being here! Let's get this done!

    Yesterday:
    I avoided "sweets" and after dinner snacking
    Went to the gym

    Just for today:
    1. work out
    2. avoid sweets

    What has helped me: well, it's the beginning of the week, so I'm always more focused, but I did put a calendar up on the fridge and am marking each day I go without sweets. Sugar is my downfall. And I don't mean the type of sugar you find in fruit :).

    Count me in too! This week i'm making it zumba week! Which means zumba at least 5 times. And i will agree with the honest logging and the no food (or snacking) after dinner! Let's do it!

    got in my steps on for both days on the weekend and did better on the actual meals thing instead of grazing, but still needs improvement.

    So my just for today's are: !) brush and floss after dinner ( even if I'm not competing this every day, I am thinking about it more and am at least the brushing part) 2) record the food somewhere 3) find the box that hides my yoga mat 4) finish laundry

    I like the idea behind this thread. One day, or even part of a day, is more likely to keep focused. Today I will reboot, and start recording again.

    I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday. Just for today I will

    1. Stay focused at work and do not let interruptions throw me off for long :) yes interruptions but I was able to refocus
    2. Take a walk after work with my husband :( got home late, it was cold, he was tired. All excuses I could have overcome I know, but I didn't
    3. log everything I eat :\ need to do better at work
    4. Remember to be thankful for the success I do have :) feels great to focus on what I was good at.

    Mondays are always busy for me so just for today I will

    1. Stay out of the jellybeans at work.
    2. log everything I eat.
    3. walk. even a few minutes does help me refocus
    4. Stay positive, do not whine


    Have a Successful Monday everyone!

    Just for today:
    Don't but junk food (ex: candy bars at the checkout line), and no eating after 9:00pm ( to stop my late night snacking).

    I've gotten back into these two bad habits and want to break them again,

    Good Morning All! It was a great weekend with very good food choices. Weekends sometimes are a struggle.
    1. Log every DELISHISH morsel. Those are the ones that get us in trouble.
    2. Enjoy the sunshine!
    3. Love my body no matter the size.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Just for Today, Sunday:
    1. Go back to normal calorie limit. :)
    2. 3+ pints water/tea :)
    3. Exercise :)
    4. Try to stay peaceful as I finish preparing for a small class I'm teaching here tomorrow. :)

    I was a little bummed this morning coz the scale didn't show the pound drop I expected. I've been losing pretty consistently over this last week & 1/2, and I'm within 1/2 pound of my next "decade" where I can reward myself :)! So, hopefully I'll do fine today and it WILL be tomorrow :). (Mentally I just wanted it to line up with my teaching this class tonite, coz getting this class done is another milestone of having worked hard to prepare.)

    Just for today:
    1. Stay within calorie goal & arrange cals during day so I can have treats tonite
    2. Re: the treats tonite: I want to stay in the place of "having some food", not "the food having me"!
    2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
    3. 30+ min exercise
    4. Peacefully finish getting ready for my company tonite!
