    Just for today...I'm gonna try to forgive myself for eating the crap pizza and Doritos for dinner! I tend to have a "I already screwed up" attitude. I don't want to do that....and I already got my T25 in, so now I'm only -68 calories...thank heaven for the 397 I burned.

    Kwfitgal - I am increasing my water today. I appreciate your tip about the lemon juice. I used to do this and forgot all about it. I will give it a try for a few of those glasses today. Just the increase the last few days has made a difference - I feel less lethargic the more water I drink.

    @cathi1992: Glad I could help! But I think it is also helping me, coz I've been sure to be adding lemon now, and I find it much easier to drink more water!! I am really thankful this topic came up!! :) Thank you!

    Just for Today 05/02
    1. log every bite :(
    2. Take control of the "weekend attitude" It's not a job that you take a break from, it's a choice that I do for myself. :) I think I have done this even though I haven't logged. I am quite active on weekends with yard work. Definitely not at a desk for extended periods of time.

    Just for Today 05/03
    1. Drink water
    2. log

    So my commitments are:
    - I will not drink alcohol at lunch. Empty calories that would just send me to sleep ☺
    - Enjoy my lunch and stop when I'm full ☺
    - Get out for a 30 min walk somehow, somewhere

    ... didn't do a walk but managed around 25 mins in total plus mowing the lawn.
    Over on calories. Not hugely and made generally good choices. Over due to: 1. Fruit salad after dinner 2. A small piece of dark chocolate (it's THAT time of the month and I'm starting to really crave sugar) 3. A glass of wine (it's a public holiday here tomorrow so was my holiday treat).
    As you've seen... I have some great excuses. But I made those choices.

    All I can do is move forward and not be too surprised if I don't hit weight goal tomorrow. Yes, about 50% of the reason will be the bloat I get once a month at this time
    And the other 59% will be because of choices I made this week.

    So... Monday's goals (holiday):
    - push it at bootcamp and if body (recovering from injury) allows, do the 2nd class too
    - gardening tomorrow afternoon, including buying and installing mini fencing of my raised bed to stop cats getting on it, so I can plant vegetables, and LOTS of weeding
    - well under gross calorie goal. Eat back only 1/3 calories max I burn off

    The idea crossed my mind but I wasn't swayed.

    Another situational trigger to junk out that I managed to overcome.

    High 5 to me! It seems I am finally on a steady path back to good physical and emotional health:-)

    And the winner is.........for holding it together during difficult times..........lifechanger2day!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love this thread :)

    1) Today I am going to tire my puppy out with a nice long cross country hike
    2) Track every single thing I eat
    3) And get my lower body Weightlifting in today.
    4) Immerse myself into the success stories a bit for tips and motivation.

    I'm new here and so far I just love MFP. So many members are committed to not just losing weight but getting healthy and I Love this. I was told by my doctor to lose weight, but not only that, to get to my ideal weight without going under (not been a problem for me) but not only to lose weight, but also to get fit!!! So here I am. Wishing you all a good healthy dose of motivation and inspiration! Cheers to a great start for the week!!

    Welcome! You've come to a very nice group of supportive people--hope you enjoy it here! :)
    Also, wow--your doctor actually had the good sense to tell you to get healthy! That is almost unheard of in this day of doctors who would rather prescribe medications. You are lucky to have this doctor, and in some short bit you will be feeling great and so proud of yourself. Keep coming back!

    Thank you so much. I already feel so empowered being here and learning so much about true, healthy weight loss. Yes I feel so lucky to have my doctor as I've had doctors who've pushed diet pills in the past. This one is most certainly a keeper and admits that she too finds it a struggle to keep herself as healthy as she can. Apparently she's been a junk food addict in the past. It's nice that she understands.

    I look forward to getting to know people here and learning from everyone.
