Just for today I will get back on track. I will concentrate on a calorie deficit and I'll remind myself why it's worth it. I will attend church. I'll take a little nap and then enjoy a run in beautiful weather and be thankful for my ability to do so.0

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!

2. Walk or move around whenever possible. more than I expected with my drive to see my parents and then back to work. Somehow I walked 3 miles today.
3. Smile. Do not take myself too seriously. I did start to take myself a little too seriously at one point, but I was able to remember to smile and relax.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I'm posting early again for tomorrow so I do not forget.
Just for Monday I will
1. Log Everything I eat
2. Walk as much as possible.
3. Do as much as I can And do not get upset when I reach my limit. I am only human after all and I have my limits. Recognizing where they are is important
Have a fun Monday everyone!

I am going to plan ahead for avoiding trouble on Easter...so...
Just for Easter
1. Exercise at least 1 hour every day this week ( my normal minimum is 30 mimutes) skip Saturday and Sunday.
2. Eat my normal way on Sunday( low carb) but not worry too much about portion size or logging every bite.
3. Buy a special treat for myself (dark chocolate )
4. No wine or other alcohol. I am hosting dinner and I know people will bring wine.
5. No other candy including licorice jelly beans (i live in fear of the siren call of the licorice jelly bean)
