    Have a Happy, Fun Filled, Stress Free Birthday!

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

    Oh -- Happy belated birthday Rae! Hope you had a great day.

    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.

    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?

    4) No mindless eating. meh. I did think about everything I ate, but didn't eat smarter

    GREAT goals! (Inspiring for me -- especially worrying about the "lazy" part and brushing before bed. Why is that so hard?!)

    @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.

    Okay...here goes. Just for today...
    - I am going to drink more water (in part to combat this headache I have right now)
    - I am going to avoid alcohol at the hotel bar
    - I am going to stick to a healthy lunch, to limit the damage done with the hotel food
    - I am going to be less anxious about not having control over my food

    Hi everyone

    Back after a nice little break over the May long weekend. I tried logging my food daily but that didn't really work out for me so I just did my very best to not over eat and stay as active as possible, that was very easy because we had yard work to do on Saturday and then we did a campfire and family dinner on Sunday with all the kids. Played some soccer and jumped on the trampoline and were generally moving all day long.

    Just for today:

    ~ I'm going out to dinner with a friend and will pass on dessert.
    ~ Dinner is planned out
    ~ 8 glasses of water and no soda's of any kind tonight.
    ~ Spinach salad for lunch
    ~ taking my dog for a nice stroll.

    Fairly easy day today. Today is cleaning day so I will be burning some good calories.

    I've been on it for many years. Stick with it, you will adapt.

    The time-release variety tends to be better tolerated, so you might consider trying that if you aren't already on it.

    Good morning Everyone.
    So yesterdays dinner with a friend went wonderfully... great conversation and great food. I was absolutely pleased with myself when I finally, for the first time ever when eating away from home, did not deviate from my pre-tracked meal :) I'm very happy about that.

    Just for Today
    ~ Eat within my daily calorie goal
    ~ Drink 8 glasses of water at least
    ~ Out and about for the day so I'll park at the end of all the parking lots and walk.
    ~ Didn't get much sleep last night so if there's time, I'll have a short nap.
    ~ If I can find free myself up early enough, I will do some resistance training.

    That is it for me today. It's easy so it should be completely attainable.

    Hope everyone hits their goals today!!!

    Cheers.
