(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.

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 0 -
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!0 -

Just for today!!
Almost done.
I went out to run though familiar issues didnt allow me to do in the morning as i like to do (empty streets, i feel tired in the evenings, come on, i have a BABY!). I completed the 7 km planned, but in a higher time than i was suposed. Anyway, proud that i just did it!
I ended my food diary 19 cal. over my daily limit, which is not that bad. And the best of all: Tomorrow i have another chance to improve myself!0 -

Wow that's fab! Well done you. Great feeling, isn't it?0 -
Well after such a stunning Monday I had a disastrous Tuesday. Driven by 1 simple stupid act.... feeling headache and a bit sorry for myself when I went out to the shop, I bought a jar of nutella (choc hazelnut spread). Big mistake. I then ate. The entire. Jar.
Technically this has blown my chance of hitting weekly calorie target. And if I choose to think that I would just keep eating.
So I've chosen to ignore it and keep right on with my daily plan. Today I've eaten well under calorie target and made some great choices.
I think I'm noticing a link between eating more protein (which I find challenging as a veggie wanting to control calories) and fewer cravings for sugar. This can only be a good thing if it's true so am going to keep putting the effort in to increase protein to around 60 grams a day.
So... Thursday's goals:
- hit calorie target and eat plenty of protein
- walk very briskly to polling station (general election here tomorrow) if weather allows
- keep focus on end result - it will SO be worth it!0 -

This is absolutely true for me.
I spent the first 17 months of my weight loss journey mastering my sugar cravings before I noticed this link. I lost 30 pounds during this time. Now I know that if I am careful to get in lots of protien I can stick to my calorie goal without feeling hungry or craving sugar. I have lost 43 pounds in the past 4 months.
I am losing weight much faster now because I am more in control of myself ( sugar makes me more hungry and makes me crave more sugar) and also because I have more energy with the protien and most days I can't wait to do my exercise ( sugar zaps my strength).
