    JFT - I am going to a Mothers Day buffet and I am not going to stress about enjoying a little wine and dessert. I have saved a few calories each day this past week just for this.

    Hope all of the mothers reading this have a very wonderful Mothers Day.

    .... keep trying to break old habits. Don't give up!

    This would be more effective if you make it specific, measurable and something achievable for the day.

    So... I have had a wonderful weekend with my 2 nieces. And I have eaten and drunk so much I have likely undone some of my good work. Shouldn't have had the first biscuit. ... then here couldn't have a very been a second, third, nth....

    So back to it from tomorrow. I have a challenging few work weeks ahead and I will do my best to remember that I actually feel better when I eat well and look after myself.

    So... Monday's goals:
    - double bootcamp and really push it
    - - no added sugar
    - - under calorie goal

    And.... stay calm and clear - headed at work... a LOT to get done.

    epic fail day :(

    I just managed to truly achieve goal number 1.... I did snack on nuts but also on toberlone (there goes my no dairy rule). I did login MFP but didn't maintain calorie limit... I did drink 3L but had a carb rich dinner... and I didn't do any LNS, but only because I was too full!

    Perhaps I should not have too many goals on a weekend.... lesson learnt.

    Didn't go to the gym since I had to stay at home and help around for 3 hours - hello, calorie burn! Am happy :)

    Surprisingly I maintained calorie limit today because I was too busy to have breakfast (just gulped down glasses of water). Met my water intake soon after brunch!

    TOMORROW'S GOALS:

    1. Go to gym and do my usual routine (15 min treadmill, 15 min weight training, 10 min elliptical, 10 min cycling, 10 minute yoga stretch)
    2. Login everything on MFP, maintain calorie limit and update posts in community forum.

    Saturday:
    1. 12,000 steps
    2. heavy gardening + one additional workout
    3. under 100 G carbs

    Saturday was good, Sunday not so much. I didn't set goals because I knew that it was going to be a crazy/unpredictable day...but I did get 15,000 steps.

    Monday:
    1. 12,000 steps (should be easy since I am car-less again)
    2. lift heavy things
    3. finish up slightly evil foods still hanging around from the weekend and be 100% on track again by Tuesday

    Tuesday's goals-
    - Hit calorie target
    - no added sugar (committing on her seems one of the only ways I can achieve this at the moment... it's stopped me indulging on several occasions.)
    - Remember to take some breaths during a very busy work day... keeping my energy balanced helps me make good food choices

    Happy Tuesday everyone!
