12,039
2. dance!
3. try to have reasonable dinner out
Uggg...I always feel terrible after eating out

2. lift heavy things
3. less than 100 G carbs0 -
I did OK again, until evening came. But I was so physically active the entire weekend, so I did OK with my calories. Summers are so busy for me, and I stay very active. Just wish the scale would move, but, I am trying NOT to look at the numbers, but instead on how I feel.
Thank you so much for the suggestions on lemon with water. I am trying that, so hopefully it will help. but I am trying to break up the water throughout the day. 2 glasses with each meal time I can do - and before I know it, I have 8 glasses of water done!
So Just for today, May 3rd, monday
1.Be sure and log my food! This is something I have been terrible at, so I need to get back to logging. I know how important this is.
2. Drink 2 glasses of water with each meal, and 1 glass of water between. That will equal my 8 glasses!
3. get out and walk. This has been easier for me to do now that the days are warmer!!
And - a big welcome to all new people! We have the greatest group of people on here! Everyone is so helpful, so encouraging, so inspiring. Losing weight, emotional eating, sugar addiction, are hard to overcome and be successful at. But if we break it down to just one day at a time , somehow it seems more manageable. I use this site not only for the good days, but to express my frustration, failures, etc. To get great tips - like using lemon with my water, or substitutes for soda.
And I do not feel alone when I do this. So thank you all for your posts and inspiration to all of us!0 -
For today, I will:
1. Log all my food
2. Prep my breakfasts/lunches for the rest of the week
3. Weigh myself in the morning. I have been avoiding this, as I haven't been very active, and haven't been limiting my food choices.0 -
Thank you for starting this "JUST FOR TODAY" - I most definitely need this motivation and after reading some of the comments, I will definitely adopt some for change.
So, Just for Today (although it's 3:35pm):
1. Workout when I go home (I use the Leslie Sansone DVD and walk 2 1/2 miles in 25 minutes!)
2. Drink 2 glasses of water with each meal (starting with dinner tonight)

Just for today I will not not not go over my calorie limit0

Getting back on track after the weekend...
JFT I will:
1) Log everything, even little bites
2) Jog a mile
3) Not have ice cream after dinner!! Dang, I really didn't want to put that one on my official JFT list because even though it's 2:30pm I am already wanting ice cream after dinner....but it's on here now so hopefully I will stick to it!
Good luck everyone with our goals for today 0 -

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
:-)
Achieved all goal and ate less than 25% of calories back.0 -
Forgot to mention I also hit (even beat) my weight goal for weigh in this morning. I don't know how, but I did it! Am now more than half way to target.
Tuesday's goals:
- hit calorie target taking care to get enough protein in
:-)0 -
JFT I will:
get a workout in (done)
drink at least 8 glasses of water
log everything I eat
stay under my calorie goal (no eating into exercise calories!!!)0 -
Just for Today I will:
Get my workout in
Take all of my medication
Drink a full 16 oz of water before evening snacking0 -
Just for today ( Mon May 4)
1. Take breakfast lunch and snack with me to work
2. Walk 1 hour after work
3. Stick to 1200 calories
Ok. Here I am at the end of the day and I only walked 35 minutes on the treadmill. So.....I'll be back after I do 25 more minutes. I just don't want to not meet my commitment to myself.

Another day under my belt.
JFT.......
1. I will control my stress :-)
2. I will Eat healthy :-)
3. I will drink all my water :-)

I didn't log my food or post anything on the weekend but I did better than I typically do with food and beverages but not as well as I had been doing last week.
Just for today I will...
1) Drink 64 oz of water
2) Log all my food and drink
3) Go to sleep before 11pm
I am going to keep focusing on these three since they led to a wonderful 2lb weight loss last week!
Congrats on the 2lbs :-)0 -
Just for today:
I will be kind to myself
I will be calm
I will nourish my body instead of feeding my emotions0 -

I wish there was a like button on here - so many of you have such inspiring posts!

great posting everyone. Happy Tuesday!
1.) today gym at lunch to do cardio and arms
2.) no wine tonight with dinner
3.) no unhealthy eating after dinner
4.) enjoy hot tea in evening to help settle the day down
last night I was getting that itch to eat sweets after dinner, I went outside and planted some seeds and worked on getting my bird feeders cleaned out and filled with fresh food. After that I was good to go, it is amazing what you can avoid if you can just distract yourself for a little while:)0 -
Good Morning/ Day everyone
Today is a non exercise no weights day. However I will remain active for my little puppies sake.
~Today I will do a second hike with the dog before dinner.
~Drink my 8 glasses of water or more
~Avoid eating any of my activity calories
~stay motivated
I did really good yesterday... I got in the gym and did really well. And my activity was great. But when we took our grandson to soccer and he scored his second goal in 3 games my husband and daughter decided an ice cream from Dairy queen was the way to go. I was so strong all the way up to the window, convincing myself I wasn't going to order anything and then bam.... I heard myself ordering an ice cream. I know ice cream isn't the enemy but what happened to my resolve! Thankfully I did the exercise and was under my calorie goal.0 -
JFT...
Boot camp was very challenging last night as we went outside for our work out. I still can't help wondering what the workout would be like if I didn't have the extra 40lbs. I'm considering taking a break from the scale and just using the tape measure for my waist. The #s on the scale can really bring me down some days.
I will track & pre-track what I will eat later today.
Add lemon juice to my water (thank you kwfitgal!)
Walk for 45 mins regardless of the rain.
Journal.
Bake for a church luncheon! Chew gum while baking??
Stay in control.
Have a great Tuesday everyone.

I did this all yesterday - sad to see that I've put on 2 lbs. I knew I was over eating... but holy cats.
Onward, though.
JFT I will:
1. Drink 36 oz of water
2. Stay under calorie goal
3. Make my step goal (10,000 steps).
Excellent job to everyone else who made their goals yesterday!
