Just for today --- daily commitment thread

1. Get all my veggie servings
2. Get back on treadmill for at least 15 mins
3. Do an exercise with one of the YouTube exercise groups
4. No junk

Mon 6/22
1. log everything I eat
2. eat no more that 1200 calories
3. 10,000 steps

I guess today will be my rest day since my Fitbit battery is not charged. I will walk as much as possible but won't have a record.

Try to not give in to munchies here at the hospital with my dad. If here at lunch eat a salad.

My weekend was bad! Too many family get-togethers, and though I did much of the cooking I was not careful with my portions and I did not entirely avoid the foods I planned to avoid. In general I am feeling that my cravings are hormonal (peri-menopause) and I am having much more trouble than ever before staying on track!! My new plan is to figure out my meals in advance and to pre-track them. Wishing myself luck!

I am wishing you luck too. It can be very difficult when trying to avoid all those good food items at family gatherings.

But that is over and done with. Today is a new day and start. It took a while for the cravings to stop. I just had to realize that it is ok to feel hungry and crave things. I just had to bite the bullet and not give in to the cravings. Because I knew how much I wanted to be healthier and look better.

Every once in a while those cravings rear their ugly head but they are fewer and farther between. I just exercise for the calories I want when I have a treat.

Good luck. We are all cheering for you.

Didn't get to

Weekend review: Planned to have one -bad' day over weekend. Had 3.

Not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. My goal deadline is creeping closer so I need to recommit again and get going.

So Monday's goals:
- double bootcamp if back will allow (pulled a muscle on Friday)
- eat back max 25% of exercise calories

Happy Midsummer everyone!

Didn't get to Bootcamp at all (back and injury combo).
AND I made some good food choices so have hit my calorie goal for the day nonetheless. :-)

Tuesday's goals
- Make best possible choices I can during the all day conference I'm at.
- Eat slowly and stop when I'm full

Sorry folks-I'm flying by the seat of my pants today so just posting now!
JFT
Really struggled. Plan was off, no structure & lunch out on top of it all. Grateful to have lunch out but just threw me off.
I did manage to get in Pilates & I'm about to mow the lawn which is some good exercise.
Early to bed-can't wait!
Tomorrow I will start fresh.

maybe you need to log your food even thought you don't want to LOL. I don't want to either----but, if I figure out what I am going to eat for the day and log it while I eat breakfast- I know when to stop eating-when all the logged food has been eaten! It's the only way for me-believe me I've tried it every other way!

JFT Tuesday
stop feeling sorry for myself & realize this is as hard or easy as I want to make it.
focus on all my qualities and not just the number on the scale. I weighed this morning & high 180.2 That is the highest number I have ever seen. I will be honest I have not been counting calories & I don't want to. I have been working out and being active. I don't know where I fit anymore. Why does it have to be so hard & why does the scale just keep moving up? Last June I was down to 163 a year ago. Maybe I have already given up:(

I finally realized that I needed to do it for my health and wellbeing. I do not want diabetes, heart trouble or just wasting my life being a couch potato.

Remember anything you really want is not always easy. But do you want to trade what you want at the moment for what you want for a healthy life?

Small victories add up to major accomplishments. You can do this. Slow and steady wins the race.

Please don't give up. You are so worth any effort you put forth. Imagine how you want to look in those skinny jeans which is just one benefit from living a healthy life.

I still sometimes have weak moments but they are short lived and I get right back to my healthy eating and exercise. I have finally realized that I will have to do this for life because I love how much better I feel and look. And I am so worth it.

You are too. Good luck.

JFT Monday I really need to work on setting weekend goals
1. cook chicken for salads (yes it is in the fridge this time); nope forgot to even chop it up to marinade until I was about ready to go to bed
2. extra fluids to help prevent random allergic reaction on face yep on the extra fluids and no random allergic reaction
3. on that note, keep hands off face. I have no idea how I did on this one. I did pull hands away from poking face
4. mow or exercise. This will largely be dependent on when I get home nope, too hot, too annoyed, husband sucked energy
