    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. ☺

    Wednesday's goals:
    - hit calorie target
    - no added sugar
    - get more protein into my diet. Challenging as a vegetarian who is calorie controlling!

    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!

    Thanks for the info, that's one thing I really like about this group, the great feedback. Wouldn't you know it, I just came from grocery shopping right before I read this !!! I'll definitely hunt for it and give it a try though !!!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    I so can relate to your #2. I also drink way too much diet pepsi, and diet coke, and not enough water. And also love your #4 - spread some smiles!! You always do!
