    Thanks for the welcome, Vicki

    Just for today Saturday 30/05
    1. 9500 steps (I am trying to hit 10000 by tomorrow. Did 9150 yesterday) :) 10150
    2. Stay under basic calorie allowance, without eating cardio add on calories :)
    3. Strength: legs: lateral raises/squats 10x6 (I just started doing these last week) :/
    4. Cardio: 40 minutes + :)
    5. Remember to log water. (I have a tendency to miss this one) :)
    6. Work in the garden, weather permitting :| Too wet. Went to the garden centre instead
    Hope things with your dad work out, Vicki. It is such a worry when they are ill.
    I thought I posted here this morning but can't find it :(

    I thought I posted here this morning but not sure what happened. So here is what I hoped to do.

    Just for today, Sunday 31/05
    1. 10,000 + steps. I may have to go out for a walk after I get home from visiting in the evening.
    2. Stay under calorie goal. I have a family party after lunch so am eating light for breakfast and lunch to compensate.
    3. Try and get out for a walk if the weather permits.
    4. Log water. I tend to forget this one.

    Not too difficult

    I just discovered the MFP community and was happy to find this thread. I have major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, dysthymia, and generalized anxiety disorder, and I'm on many medications.My goals will be laughably small to most of you, but I'm hoping this forum will help me make progress and also help me recognize my progress.

    Just for today, I will:
    1. Not go back to bed.
    2. Listen to my weight loss hypnosis session at least three times.
    3. Drink 14 cups of water.
    4. Not eat any high sugar comfort foods.
    5. Not order pizza even if I'm too depressed to prepare food.

    That's the best thing about this group, there is no goal too small and everyone's "one day at a time" is important. You just work on whatever is right for yourself today. You are worth the effort.

    For the month of June I have given up sugar (wish me luck -I think I'm a little addictive), so will have to take that one day at a time. But Just for today I will ensure that I will drink 2l of water.

    JFT - stay strong with dads sickness and not stress eat.

    Started maintenance yesterday and leave town to visit son and two grandsons. Youngest will be two. BD party and amusement park. Life challenges! Wish me luck.

    You all have helped me so much for the past 4 months. You have been the reason I have stayed the course. We are all so worth it.

    I struggle with this as well. I feel MUCH better when i avoid sugar, but sometimes i get weary of the "fight". I will JOIN you for a sugarless June! we can do this! (I like to remember this is a "first world" problem) :)

    Sister Teddy, I think you'll find this group to be a great fit for you. Even in my darkest moments It really helps me to check in. Everyone is so supportive & nonjudgmental. I have issues with anxiety too & I find that if I walk for 30-55 mins a day it really helps me. Some days my goals are very specific & food/exercise oriented while others may be more psychological (being grateful, playing with my kids, reading success stories for inspiration, etc.). You're taking steps (regardless of the size) to good health & you should be very proud of yourself for that. Good for you!

    You are motivated, that's for sure!!!! Go, girl, go--that's terrific. Have a great day!!! :):)

    Me: Was quite lax over weekend and scale shows the brownies. So, I am gearing up to be somewhat "tough" with myself for a few days to get back on track. I did get a bit of weeding done, and so several garden beds are looking better for our upcoming graduation party--YAY!! :):):)

    JFT:
    1. Stay in cal limits--today is a fasting day--reset.
    2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
    3. Exercise 30 min.
    4. Stay in peaceful place as I try to accomplish the many things on my plate.
    5. Weed another garden bed.

    Happy Monday all!!!

    June 1st a new month! I have been MIA and plan to start today and the new month in a positive way! Starting a low carb or no carb eating plan this month, and I like the no sugar posts -- I don't know what happened but I can eat alot of sugar -- so cut sugar out, and carbs, and see what success I can achieve!

    Back at home and will get back to thorough tracking, serious exercising and daily-goal setting. I actually did track for most of the week that I was gone, and I did get lots of steps even though I didn't have time for a real workout.

    I turn 40 on Friday and will absolutely NOT reach my goal by then. Oh well.

    Monday:
    1. 12,000 steps
    2. Lift weights
    3. Stay under 100 G carbs
    4. Get full 25 G of fiber

    1.) Recommit to coming here each day to post & support others.
    2.) Not tell myself I am going to fail
    3.) Weed around my flower bed tonight
    4.) Take dog for walk after work
    5.) Use up 2 items out of cupboard to start getting rid of too much food in pantry. I tend to over buy & then do not know what is in there.

    I have been struggling so much lately. Not sure if it is the weather, the busyness of summer, or just lack of motivation lately. And -- the scale is showing it. SO I really need to get back to posting my goals on here, and logging my food and exercise intake.

    A friend posted this on facebook, and for me - this is the perfect sentence of my life. Too much food being used when I am stressed, and not enough exercise!!

    So tomorrow - back to posting my goals, and back to business!
