I just have one baby step for this week:
Log my food.0 -
Yep! Logging is really important, even if we do nothing else at the moment.
Don't worry in another weeks time, the energy and vitality will be back again

My weight stayed the same this week. Overall I am getting back on track. I just wish the sweets (cookie butter) wouldn't call my name. I feel the need to answer and partake. I won't buy more of that for awhile as not to be tempted. I will keep working on the same goals for next week.
Weekly Goals
1. Log EVERYTHING seven days 7/7
2. Walk for 30 minutes six days 4/7 140/1560
3. 30 minutes of extra exercise 3 days 1/3
4. Use the stop light metaphor to check stress level 80% 65%
I didn't do as well as hoped. This next week I will work harder on focusing on my health. The stop light metaphor works well for the little things. The fridge and A/C going out on the same day - assessment was the last thing on my mind. I need to practice more I will keep the same goals for next week. 0 -
My baby steps for this upcoming week:
1. No candy, cookies/cake, or ice cream.
2. Two 25 min cardio sessions
3. Stay within my allotted calories daily
I'm candy, cookies/cake, and ice cream free? I haven done any cardio and a few days I went over my calorie goal. My cycle is here and its usually prime time for the munchies. I'm still pressing on.

Baby steps for this week:
Continue to not eat sugar, one day at a time. At this point, I am defining "sugar" as any food that has a sweetener (natural or artificial) listed in the first five ingredients.
Log my food, even when traveling for work.0 -

This week was stellar I am down to 229 (it is a total scale victory). I had been struggling focusing on my health and making good choices. It just fell in to place this week. I was able to make good choices and was motivated to get moving. I will build on this and do better. I will tweak my goal of 30 minutes of extra exercise to 4 times a week.

Week of June 8
1. Log food daily
2. Get out of Bed
3. Eat out out only 1 time
1. Well, so far this week, I have logged my food daily. Laying in bed, there isn't a whole lot else to do.
2. Yesterday, I was finally able to actually walk around a bit. I did a couple of laps through the sunroom, greatroom, den, office and kitchen. Never realized how exciting that could be. Happy to finally be seeing some improvement in the back.
3. My husband brought me food from a restaurant once this week. But I did just ask for an appetizer. So I didn't completely blow my calories or sodium levels.0 -
