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)

Ok,
I need to repeat yesterday's "just for today" goal of tracking everything I put in my mouth. I think I wrote that goal and then immediately turned around and started putting crackers in my mouth. Then I didn't plan for lunch and ate too many tortilla chips. Then I went over to a friends house and had chocolate cake and wine..... I just fell off the wagon.
Just for today I WILL track everything that goes in my mouth!0 -

Messed up yesterday: I ate snickers and skittles, and only exercised for two miles.
Just for today:
-I will eat healthy within my calorie limit
-I will track everything I eat
-I will drink eight glasses of water
-I will walk two miles
I am stuck at a plateau with ten pounds to go and am very discouraged. UGH!0 -
Just for Monday March 30, I will:
1) Avoid mindless munching, which is harder since I am tired and at work two hours earlier than normal.
2) Do housework tonight and not just lounge around because I'm tired. (I'm thinking put away laundry, dishes, and dust living room at a minimum)0 -

Just for today.
1. Not stress about my injury and find work around for exercise.
2. log everything.
3. Eat a healthy fulfilling dinner.0 -
Happy with how I did yesterday although I agree with katherine52429 that the last 10 to 15 lbs are really challenging! I think last week I did a bit too happy of a dance and let my "work hard on this" guard down after I had reached my next 10 off.
Doing well so far today and so for the rest of today:
1. Stay within cals and do not eat my exercise cals
2. Drink my 3 +pints water and tea
3. Exercise 25 min
4. Rest and relax from all of the bread baking!
Have a super day everyone0 -

3. Avoid obsessing about food
Regarding obsessing about food...
I have always been the kind of person who lies in bed and obsesses about the details of whatever event or project I am planning. I found that if I just get up and write a list, I can relax and not worry.
Turns out this works for me with food also! Before I started really being committed to improving my weight and health I obsessed about food and constantly felt guilty about every single thing I ate.
Or I would just sit with a bag of chips and mindlessly eat every last one.
Or I would cruise the kitchen like a shark reaching out to snatch every unhealthy food that crossed my path.
Now I jot down a plan each evening and my brain doesn't have to obsess. For me, it just works. That's why I love...just for today...it takes away my natural tendency to obsess.

Just for today, I will:
1. Track every bite that goes in my mouth
2. Drink 8 glasses of water
3. Go to the gym after work (this one gets me every time!)
4. 15 minutes of meditation

Ok tried twice to post and it deleted not of my comments.
In a nutshell:
Much better: No sugar, under calorie target, only ate when hungry. ☺
Still need to contact my coach.0
