    @bri170lb - that is very good way to look at it! I keep practicing. Much better than feeling like I should be able to just do it.

    Challenging day with lots of errands. I am proud to say I stuck to plan choosing a healthy salad at the local grocery instead of the unhealthy fast food I usually make an excuse for. I even called home and asked DH to start dinner for me so I wouldn't be tempted to stray.


    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
    7. Read through new posts in this thread......

    Thanks everyone for the motivation and inspiration you post each day.


    It was a very good day! :-):-):-)

    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.

    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. :)

    @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.
