Anyway

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!
Hang in there!!! It is worth it & you will get there. Try not to let the scale determine how you feel about yourself!!0 -

Long day at work yesterday and almost as long today. So here is my Saturday/Sunday combined posttaxmom9093 wrote: »1. Log everything I eat Better Friday than Saturday
2. Walk whenever possible. Get out of the office and walk around the parking lot if the opportunity presents itself. Managed to sneak out for a mall walk Friday. Saturday did a lot of walking around the house after dinner
3. Relax, enjoy the nuttiness of work if I can and keep my sense of humor. It is possible. I did keep my sense of humor most of the time. Tough to do when delivering bad news though.
Just for Sunday I will
1. Be present in the moment.
2. Walk or move around whenever possible.
3. Smile. Do not take myself too seriously.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

It's the weekend and here I am still checking in!!! I'm actually in shock. Last night after I walked the dogs I had all these calories left over and my mind wanted to dive in and eat them all. But I convinced it that 1 oz of cinnamon almonds was a good enough treat.

Good job!
You don't have to be perfect on the weekends, you just have to show up and give things your best try.

Hi, I'm here. It's been a tough several days of feeling very down and therefore stuck re: food junk. I have finally been doing pretty well so far today. It hasn't helped that I have had to be baking for a fund raiser for my kiddos! I'm sure you can all relate to the difficulty of resisting a kitchen full of frosted cinnamon bread! Yesterday it was yummy and today I am resisting!
So for the rest of the day
1. Stay under cals
2. Drink my 3+ pints water/tea
3. Exercise 25 min + my 2.5 min planks
4. Spend time reading my Bible!
5. Really enjoy a couple small pieces of my Dark chocolate! (35 Cal /1.7 g sugar each)0 -
Disastrous few days. Really struggling after doing so well in the first few weeks. Motivation is low now I've got rid of the initial bloat. But I still have 18 lbs to go and know I'll feel amazing when I get there.
Need to restart. And need to cut out processed sugar for a few weeks.
So.... Monday's goals:
- avoid all forms of chocolate / sugar
- contact my NLP life coach for some additional support
- check in fully to my body and stomach before deciding if/what/how much to eat
Need to get this properly back on track or I will give up.0 -

I am right there with you. I have about 20 lbs to lose, and so hard to get/stay motivated! But I know you can do it!

Its already late sunday nite, and so b usy have not had time to check in! But I am doing so much better - trying to get the sugar out of my system. Lots of water, and today I hiked a very hilly 4.75 miles. My legs hurt, but a good kind of hurt.
So I am posting my goals for tomorrow, Monday
1. No sugar. Work on getting all sugar out of my system. I know how much better I can stay focused when I have the sugar out of my system
2. Exercise - minumum 30 minutes
3. clean house -- grandsons coming next weekend!
4. Keep all easter candy hid downstairs, and leave it alone!

Great job Rae! Weekends are hard for all of us - but that is part of life. We have to have a day where it is OK to go off a little - important thing is to get right back on track! And you are!0 -
Love the just for today mindset. I also love the idea of setting goals--just for today. So goals for monday 3/30:
- Gym cardio for 45-60 min. I can totally do it I just get bored/lazy!
- Eat just as well as I did today.
- Eat dinner during night class, not late at 9:30PM
- SNACK! This is the hardest. I forget to eat (I know, I know) and then I go crazy and eat quickly and unhealthy because my blood sugar is low!
