    (New here... Hi!)

    Just for today I will not go to Starbucks on my lunch break for my usual latte, and when I get home from work I will not binge on dinner...

    There. Set in stone now... (hopefully that helps)

    Those are big hurdles for me.

    I will get in a 45 min walk & do some floor exercises.
    Journal.
    Drink 8 + cups of water (some with lemon).
    Want to gradually get away from drinking iced coffees.
    Read something inspirational.
    Continue my search for a puppy. Looking for a nice walking companion & family pet.
    Prepare for the weekend-I'm going to try tracking everything b/c I tend to slack off on the weekend.

    Happy Hump Day!

    Good day everyone... Great goals for the day :)

    Just for today I will

    ~ get through at least 60 mins of circuit training with heavier weights than I normally do.. going to try for 90 mins but it's not imperative.
    ~ 8-9 glasses of water
    ~ Log every single morsel of food
    ~ Keep my sodium levels down.

    That's it for me today. This thread is wonderful, I find it really helps me to focus on the things I need to accomplish "TODAY" and not worry about tomorrow and next week, month etc... Very helpful as far as keeping my mind where it should be... on what I am doing right now!!!! Love it :)

    JFT...
    1. I will utiluze my coping skills to eat healthy and work through my back pain without comfort food.
    2. I will drink some calming tea to help keep me relaxed.
    3. I will keep a positive attitude.
    4. I am in control of my actions
    5. I will eat healthy when company comes for dinner tonight (my food is ready to go).

    I am feeling a bit weak minded today, the pain monster is Waring me down. I have much to do and little back power to accomplish it. So it's one task, one meal and one moment at a time.
    I CAN DO THIS!

    Good reminder for all of us to focus on TODAY. That is enough to be concerned about. We can take on tomorrow tomorrow when it will be our Today!

    I'm the same way...these just for today posts are good (but hard!) for me because I feel like if I type it out, it is now set in stone that I will do my best to meet my goal. Good luck to all of us today :smile:
