    Friday:
    1. 12,000 steps :neutral:
    2. dance! :smile:
    3. 10 freggies :smiley:

    Saturday:
    1. 12,000 steps :)
    2. heavy gardening :smiley:
    3. under 100 G carbs :smile:

    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!

    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 "

    Sunday's goals
    I will:
    1. Eat near my 1450 cal limit
    2. Dig for 30 min or more
    3. Prepare my smoothies for the week

    No digging was done but I spent 20 mins chasing the geese and another 20 rounding up the ducks later on.
    I didn't exceed my 1450 limit, and 9 days worth of smoothies are prepped.

    Monday
    1. Get material list ready for chicken coop
    2. Look for another soup recipe
    3. Work on two of the outdoor projects

    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.

    I will eat the healthy food I bring from home.
    I will walk 10,000 steps
    I will do piyo.
    I will drink water and pray when I become anxious.
    I will speak lovingly to myself for I have overcome much and am worth love.

    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.

    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.

    Thank you! I did. We did not get thunderstorms. In fact, it cleared up and ended with blue skies.

    It's late in the day here but the first time I've done this. Never too late to start! Yesterday I went way over my calorie goal thanks to emotional eating so just for today

    I'm going to stick within my calorie goal!

    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!!!

    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!
