    I did two out of my three goals for yesterday. I was unable to fit my exercise in for the day, however I did walk an extra 3K steps above my normal so I did not feel at a complete loss.
    I wrote this down earlier however I could not get to a computer.
    Just for today:
    I will not have any additional sugar (My coffee never tasted better!).
    I hope that everyone is able to meet their personal daily and weekly goals for this upcoming week!

    So, Monday's goals:
    - bootcamp
    - eat as clean and pure as I can for the day to recalibrate my system
    - be slightly under calorie goal for day
    - Come back, review and set new goals for following day

    I've also committed to keeping the promises I make to myself no matter how small. So this will be a good indicator of that!

    :-)

    Achieved all goals today. Feels good!

    Tuesday's goals
    - hit calorie goal. Will be a real challenge as taking my (94 y.o.) Nana out for lunch and veggie options aren't great.
    - come back and make new commitments at end of day

    JFT:
    1. Stay in cal limit
    2. Drink tons of water
    3. Go for 30 min walk

    Graduation party went fantastically well :):) ...Over 100 people--about 60 (?) of them were kids playing ultimate frisbee in the back yard....more kiddos on the swing/playset--it was amazing to see so many children...and really no injuries! Great conversations, lots of food, a big bonfire to end the night...Did I remember to say lots of food?? LOL. I way over planned--anyone care for some coleslaw or potato salad?? I'm trying out to see if they freeze well (anyone have experience with that?) coz it is too much for even our family of 10 to consume! Luckily I am getting sick of party food :) , and alot other stuff is definately freezeable.

    So, time to walk things off and drink a bunch of water!! I suppose walking up and down to the basement a dozen times to put stuff away will be good for me!

    Happy Monday all!!! :)

    Great job!!!! What an accomplishment, you rock. You are a woman of many talents!!!

    Kwfitgal-so happy all went well with the graduation party. Sounds like it was great fun & full of memories. Not sure if you can freeze the salads. I wonder if a local shelter would take them. Now you can take a breather!

    kids have a 1/2 day...no emotional eating.
    Plan to take them to the gym & set up additional times with trainer.
    Tidy up dining room.
    Journal
    Keep tracking-this has been so helpful.
    Get inspired with some success stories.
    Drink water (this has improved but still requires effort).

    Have a great Tuesday JFT pals!

    Good morning my lovelies.

    JFT Monday:
    1. Walk at lunch even though it's hot and sticky (that's why I brought an extra shirt, deodorant and a hat) :sweat_smile:
    2. Only one cup of coffee, but tea is acceptable. It was going to be none today, but that wasn't happening. :smile:
    3. Dinner and after work calories below 600. (oh wait that means measuring and weighing, oh the travesty!/sarcasm/) :confused: probably not, ended up ordering Stromboli for carryout. Didn't have the menu to pick smarter options, so I picked something I know I like, but I only ate half the rest is lunch today

    1. "log" all food, even if it's just paper and I don't have the measurements or the calorie count
    2. Only on cup of coffee
    3. Figure out by lunch after work plans

    We all have those days where we need to "reset". You still have a plan & that's half the battle!

    Missed calorie goal. Made good lunch choice but then joined my Nan in having dessert. Then was over with only a tiny dinner so threw the baby out with the bathwater and ate some biscuits after dinner.
    So... New day, new opportunity to get results tomorrow!

    Wednesday's goals:
    - Well under calorie goal to help mitigate today's overeating
    - Double bootcamp (which will help me achieve first goal)
    - Be mindful of the CHOICES I make in everything I do for the day

    I wish everyone a great day and a moment (or more) of joyfulness and gratitude.
