Have not had the best 2 weeks, and my weight shows it. Its like I am starting all over again, and feel so down on myself. Why can't I learn that eating sugary things will not help my daughter, will not help me with the stress that goes along with her illness, something I am unable to control.
So again, I am keeping it simple. I am so sorry for not being a better friend to you guys, and not being here more. Its one day at a time. My weight is reset, and today is a new day.
just for today
1. log every thing I eat
2. Mediate for 10 minutes about what is good in my life. Relax, sit out on our patio and enjoy nature.
3. walk

Joan you are an amazing and friend and support to all of us on here, not least because of your honesty and the fact that you ALWAYS come back and keep going no matter how bad it gets. And that's what it takes to succeed.
Thank you for that.
And.... as a certain song goes.... it's a new day, it's a new dawn.... ☺

It's awesome that he joined you when he realized he couldn't convince you to stay with him. I ended up going on my own last night. I don't blame my wife for not wanting to go...she works 60+ hours most weeks and we get up at 5:30am to walk the dogs before work, so by the time the 7:00pm Crossfit class rolls around, its about the last thing she wants to do.

I agree! She shouldn't have to go with you, but good for you for going on your own! I kind of need him there because I'm starting weights, and I need a spotter

Just for Today 4/11
1. log everything I thought I logged everything but I never added my almonds.
2. get more steps in 15k to 17K; even if that means going to the gym and using the treadmill nope. It was a total LAZY day for me...two in a row! Gotta get back to it today.

@Bailey_432 - Happy Birthday. Enjoy your day! That is a great plan to enjoy but not overindulge.

Last weekend I was amazingly productive. This weekend, I have been a sloth. Gotta try to change that. We had some crazy weather yesterday though...pouring rain, drops as big as balls, hail...fun stuff. Today should be beautiful.

Just for Today 4/12
1. log
2. do not let the "weekend attitude" take over
3. weed and plant
4. take the 2-wheeled toy out

Hi! I ran into this thread and liked the idea of it, so here I am. I'm three-days old and already having a lot of trouble. I've lost 7 pounds of water weight so far, but I know it's just water weight, so the rest of the road is going to be tough. I have another 25 pounds to go, and I've only once made it to my goal (about 20 years ago). I don't know if I'm doing MFP correctly, but it could be because I don't have the right foods in my freezer and pantry yet. As I run out, I'll replace the items with better choices.

So, here's my "Just for today" list:
1. I will do better at planning my meals so I'm not so hungry. All I think about is food!
2. Make sure I do all of my PT and OT exercises, at least once.
3. Finish cleaning the apartment, which I started yesterday. Laundry has been waiting, too.
4. Reward myself with a long, hot shower and fresh sheets.

If I get those things done, I'll be doing great, especially since it's already 1:00 p.m. and haven't done a thing yet.

Having a hard time today to get motivated here are my goals
1. 10000 steps
2. Garden for 1hr
3. Weigh in
4. Taxes! ( a lot of mental weight I need off of me!)

Didn't achieve today's goals. Enjoyed some wine in the garden then ate left over cheesecake. All very indulgent. Nice on one level, regretting it now.

Monday's goals:

- Come well under net calorie goal
- eat wonderfully nutritious food
- check into stomach min 5 times

Monday April 13, 2015 -- Today I will:
Stay within calorie limits
Drink Water
Go to the gym - exercise for an hour.
Eat healthy after the gym, relax and prepare for the next day.

JFT Monday
1) Wear sunscreen during lunch walk
2) half hour of exercise after work - either bellydancing or something on the Kinect if the controller works
3) get sewing room dresser moved into place
