3. under 100 G carbs
Did more than 3 hours of VERY heavy gardening yesterday. Didn't want to overtax my muscles, so instead of cardio or weights, I went for a swim. Did have nearly enough steps on my FitBit, so I had to go for a walk too...
Sunday:
1. 10,000 steps
2. dance!
3. 10+ freggies
The problem for me with alcohol is not the alcohol itself--as long as I drink something low carb like tequila, it doesn't seem to be a problem for my diet. The challenge is that, then, I want to eat all the masa-based things--corn chips, tortillas, homemade tortillas, arepas, quesadillas....BAD!0 -

Hi everyone! I was so happy to see this thread today. This has been my exact motto since I started my JTH with my SBH ( journey to health with my sister- by - heart aka best friend ). So wonderfull to know that you all feel the same way. I always try to motivate SBH and myself by saying " we can do anything for just one day".
So... Just for today ( Sunday May 17)
- walk at least 10,000 steps
- Drink 8 cups water
- Make healthy choices when I go out to dinner today
- Log in my food diary.
11 pm. I did it, just for today , night night everyone . Tomorrow is another " just for today "0 -

I haven't been posting the last few weeks, as I had an extra three hours of sitting a day which screwed up my schedule royally and some other self-induced stress. Yep one big excuse. I have two more days with extra sitting but time to get over my excuse now as I can tell the laziness is becoming habit again.
So just for today:
1) Brush and floss before going to bed
2) walk at lunch even though the temp and humidity are up - 15 minutes minimum
3) get chicken out of freezer for lunches later this week
4) No mindless eating.0 -

Yesterday I didn't eat under maintenance. But I did do my 30 minutes on stationary bike - even though I was exhausted.
Just for today I will eat under 1200 net calories and I will either walk for 1 hour or do my stationary bike for 1 hour.0 -
Last night a good neighbor brought over some cupcakes that were left over from a meeting. I really didn't want to eat them since I've been limiting processed foods & sugar but I broke down & ate 1. I tracked it & now I'm moving on. Trying to stay focussed on making healthy choices for the long haul.
Today I will:
Preplan supper instead of scrambling to throw it together.-
Track everything.
Focus at church.
Have a healthy lunch & pack a good snack for everyone.
Take family kayaking.
Get ready for the week.
Be grateful!
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.
Did almost everything except plan supper. Family member crisis so we made dinner for them at their house. Boy did I make some bad food choices! Glad it's Monday!
Today I will:
Track everything!
45 min of walking & Pilates
Drink water.
Preplan healthy dinners for entire week.
Set up crockpot.
Journal.
Get kids signed up for camps.
Catch up on house cleaning.
Be grateful.
Bed early.

Resetting my weight - and recommitting myself to get going and get serious.
Days of not logging my food intake, not drinking water, led to some weight gain, but I am going to get that weight off!! . My goal is to be back in the 180 by my 64th birthday July 20 -- I can do that. That is just 7 lbs to lose, and if I work hard, I can meet that goal!
So every Monday I am going to use this as if this were a "meeting". I will report my weight loss or gain, in addition to my goals everyday! Hoping this will help me better stay on track.
so just for today, 5/19 Monday - a new day!
1. 2 glasses of water with each meal, 2 glasses water inbetween.
2. LOG all food that goes in my mouth!
3. Brush teeth early so no extra snacking in the evening.
4. 30 minutes on my ellipitical.

Welcome! You are not alone in the emotional eating. That is my biggest downfall - and it is always in the evenings. One day at a time!!!0 -

GREAT goals! (Inspiring for me -- especially worrying about the "lazy" part and brushing before bed. Why is that so hard?!)
You must be in the US south, huh? I'm on the TX Gulf Coast, and heat and humidity are definite inhibitors for walking -- even in the early morning or late evening. Mosquitos!

I DID get my infused water made (one of my goals for Friday), and drank a full half-gallon of that and decaf iced tea. Yay!
Missed goals for yesterday, though -- not a good day at all, for many reasons.
Does anyone else have a problem with taking Metformin for Type 2 Diabetes? That stuff makes me MISERABLE. I won't go into the gory, GI details here, but I'm seriously thinking about taking to the Dr. about taking me off it. Spent yesterday in bed in pain. One good thing about that -- didn't eat very much. :-P
I'm also taking another drug to which I have yet to become adjusted. SO TIRED, and yet I'm just dying to get out of the house. I'm so exhausted, though, that driving is actually a little dangerous.
Yuck. Okay, enough whining.
Just for tomorrow:
1) Get out of bed earlier.
2) Make the bed.
3) Do hatha yoga stretches right away.
4) Continue to drink my daily allotment.
5) Rest as needed, without guilt!
Is that too much? Considering?0 -
Monday
1. Get material list ready for chicken coop
2. Look for another soup recipe

For Tuesday:
1. Cut wood for coop project
2. Eat at my calorie limit
3. Remember to weight myself in the morning
4. Prep for a new smoothie

3) get chicken out of freezer for lunches later this week - nope I remembered only in the middle of other things like a shower or not even home
4) No mindless eating. meh. I did think about everything I ate, but didn't eat smarter

@Icbourdo, actually I'm western shore of the Chesapeake in Maryland. Luckily our heat isn't locked in yet, I'm not sure about the humidity yet. I wish I knew why the brushing thing is so hard, then it would be easy to fix. Right now for me the tiny changes are more likely to be successful long term for better health.
Mixed results from yesterday, so I'm going to repeat them again today.
