    Today I turn 64. My goal was to be at my goal weight for my 64th birthday, but I am still 22 lbs from that.
    But -- I am still here! I can walk 5 miles easily without having to stop. I have outlived 4 of my siblings. So I am very grateful. But God gave me this body to take care of, and I have not. So today is a good day to start getting serious again!
    just for today
    1. enjoy eating out, but in moderation.
    2. think positive. I am still alive. I have so much to be thankful for. Count my blessings, not my troubles.

    EAT TO LIVE. DO NOT LIVE TO EAT!

    So, my just for tomorrow goals...

    <3 I want to walk another mile. Anything more is a bonus, but the mile that will count must include the dogs. - done, one mile by myself but the dogs only did 0.75 miles, they were exhausted from the one yesterday. Still counting this! By the end of their walk I was down to crawling pace!
    <3 I will pre plan my meals and snacks, which I will not scarf all of by ten am. - done
    <3 I will spend some quality time with my husband (we work opposite shifts most of the week) - done, we ate dinner together
    <3 I will not weigh myself. Being obsessively on and off the scales is detrimental. - no scale hopping at all :)

    I hope you don't mind me joining in, I felt so inspired reading your posts!

    Just for today -

    o:) I will resist the box of baklava at work. It killed my calories yesterday and while I left an allowance for a couple of biscuits, I didn't allow for this.
    o:) I will walk a mile in my lunch break, and half a mile with the dogs.
    o:) I will get some tasks done around the house this evening after work - at least three things
    o:) I will again stay off the scales. Went on once this morning, no more!

    7/20

    I already worked out, so I'm good in that area.
    1. Accomplish a majority of items on to-do list.
    2. Don't eat if I'm not hungry. Try to eat more early in the day and have smaller dinner.
    3. Try to sleep by 12:30 AM

    7/21
    4. Get up by 7 AM and out of bed by 7:30 AM.
    5. Post goals and have to-do list ready by 8 AM.

    I did well yesterday, but I am not quite prepared with the to-do list for today. I know what I have to do before leaving the house, however, it's later in the day I need to plan out better in order to stay productive.

    7/21
    1. Add to to-do list, and accomplish most items
    2. No addictive computer/phone games
    3. Only eat if I'm hungry and keep dinner small.
    4. Do something active outside of the class I'm teaching today.
    5. When talking about serious topics, only communicate what is necessary. Be concise.
    6. Try to sleep by 12:30 PM

    7/22

    7. Get up by 7 AM and out of bed by 7:30 AM.
    8. Post goals and have to-do list ready by 8 AM.

    1. enjoy eating out, but in moderation. :):) Went out to eat for my birthday at Outback - had chicken and sweet potato, but brought 1/2 of it home. Still ate over my calories, but felt in control! And NO snacking in the evening!
    2. think positive. I am still alive. I have so much to be thankful for. Count my blessings, not my troubles :)

    Just for today, 7/21

    Well I'm back after a few days AOL from the thread. I have been logging but almost avoiding looking at the calories as it's been pretty bad.
    only thing balancing it (but not completely) is my regular attendance at bootcamp. It's now normal for me to do a double class on Mon and Wed when I'm not with clients, plus a single class on Friday. My Fitness has come a long way since Feb and I will kep pushing it further!!

    Now I just need to eat fewer calories....

    Wednesday's goals:
    - Eat under calorie goal
    - push hard at double bootcamp

    Remember I'm choosing this.. no one is making me do it.
    I've lost 21 lbs so far through choice and taking positive action... I CAN get rid of the remaining 12 if I keep this up.

    Smiles and warmth to everyone. :)
