Today I..
1. Logged all my food
2. Drank all my water
3. Completed all PT exercise
4. Stayed true to plan
5. Kept a positive attitude even through stressful moments
6. Found an inspiring realistic goal photo from my victorias secret catalog and put it in my closet to keep me motivated each day

This is my first day back to living a healthy life. I have a commitment to keep. This thread will be a wonderful source of inspiration when I need a kick in the pants.
Log every bite - no matter what.
Make good choices
Exercise
Hope someone has welcomed you and that you feel comfortable to keep coming back! It definately helps to break the larger goal into do-able bits! This thread is full of encouraging caring folks.
Yesterday went well. My JFT 4/28 is the usual:
1. Stick to cals
2. 3+ pints water/tea
3. Exercise 30+ min
Happy Tuesday all!

Thank you kwfitgal-I'm definitely dusting off my knees! Bootcamp went well & I felt I was pushing myself but not to the point of injury. The trainer announced another group of sessions so I'm going to sign up. It seems after so many weeks have passed, our group has developed a camaraderie. We're joking & encouraging each other.
My yearly physical is today & I feel pretty positive about it except for my weight.
Today I will:
Make healthy food choices & track.
Journal
Fit in a 3 mile walk.
Cheer for my daughter & all the awesome kids at Special Olympics today!
Always try to put yourself on the list!! Have a great day.0 -

Just for Today 4/27
1. Log every bite
struggling with the whole logging thing. I do great at work, it's when I get home that it all goes away. I am trying to remind myself that all that I am doing is for me. I am choosing to eat healthy, eat less, move more; all because I care about myself and want to feel my best. I have proven to myself time and again that when I make the healthy choices I do feel better. I do not go to bed feeling nauseous. I do not go to bed feeling angry at myself. Eating healthy and logging my food is NOT a punishment. It is a sign of love.
Just for Today 4/28
1. log everything, even if I go above my calorie allotment
2. spend time this evening preening myself, i deserve to look/feel good
3. figure out that dang T-Tapp routine
@GrandmaJackie - my sickness has just been a head cold. Feels silly for complaining so much, but it's been so long that I've been sick for more than a day or two; and with all this congestion I really am not myself. I know men are big babies when they're sick, but he might feel a bit worse than assumed. 0 -

@losingrae I am so with you on that logging thing. I do the same thing, great logging even pre-logging at work and then I get home and start eating random food none of which gets recorded. Of course that only when I'm actually logging at all. I'm kind of in a "I'm losing weight slowly so clearly I'm doing something right" kick currently.0

Forgot to post.. I'm out if the habit
Hit all of Monday's goals. Only hit the 'no sugar' one because I'd committed on here.... accountability really works for me.
Used same goals today and have achieved those too. ☺0 -
Wednesday's goals:
- hit calorie target
- no added sugar
- get more protein into my diet. Challenging as a vegetarian who is calorie controlling!0 -

I always appreciate your desire to brighten someone's day (#4)!!! I'll keep this one in mind for today also.
Say--here's an idea for you (speaking of challenge!), as I too used to drink way to much soda (Mountain Dew). I pretty much went cold turkey on it once I started MFP coz it took up way too many calories. But it helped that I found a substitute: Kombucha (like GT's). It is a sort of (sounds weird) fermented tea...comes in different flavors. Can find it for sure at natural food stores, maybe at some grocery stores in the refrigerated juice section. It is incredibly healthy for you: provides probiotics and enzymes, no added sugar...Why it is a good substitute is that it is nicely slightly sweet and it is FIZZY from natural carbonation (do NOT shake the bottle!) It takes a wee bit of getting used to, but is worth it. I really like the Gingerade flavor, and Gingerberry. Good luck!

Yesterday
1. log everything I eat
Such a busy day, and again, so exhausted did not write what I ate. But - I am eating much better
2. drink 2 glasses of water with each meal, and 1 glass inbetween meals.
3. walk tonite! No walking, but mowed our grass, which takes me almost 1.5 hrs. We have a very large yard, with a big hill, so it is quite the workout! Then I scrubbed all the woodwork and doors in the evening.
Just for today, Wed 4/28
1. plan my meals for today. It is a very busy day again, so planning definitely helps
2. remember to drink more water. This is my hardest thing to remember to do!
3. try and get out for a long walk tonite!
I hope everyone has a great day!0 -

Thanks so much for this suggestion! I am going to try this. I really need to cut out soda. I drink WAY too much Diet Pepsi and Diet coke, and I know it is not good for me! Plus so many have said that the sweetness, even in diet drinks, can actually make you crave sugar. SO going to put this on my grocery list!
Thank you!0 -

You are doing great just coming back here!! I know you can do this. I have had so many days where I have completely blew it - binged on way too much, gave into emotional eating, etc. But the nice thing, is that tomorrow is in the past. Today is a new day!0 -
