    7/25
    Yesterday was successful. I'll be at a wedding today. I can't be too strict, but also don't want to stuff myself. :neutral: I went a little crazy with dessert, but I'll be back on track today.
    1.Finish to-do list :smile:
    2. Pace myself with the food. :neutral: (somewhat)
    3. Get husband to dance with me :smiley: I didn't have to get him to dance with me. I knew we probably would, and I could think of it as burning more calories.
    4. Be silly and have fun :smile: We had a great day.
    5. Try to sleep once I'm home. :)

    7/26
    1. Try to wake up between 7:30 and 8. Post goals by 9am :( Not successful. I just had my phone upgraded to a new system, but I don't remember hearing the alarm even though I thought I set it. I got back late, so I guess it wasn't too bad. I just have to test it for tomorrow when I have to get up early.

    7/26

    1. Make a to-do list and try to get most of the items done.
    2. Do something active (walk, workout, or do yard work)
    3. Log calories

    7/27
    4. Weigh in (forgot to do that before I ate today)
    5. Try to sleep by 12:30 AM.
    6. Wake up at 5:00 AM and out of bed by 5:15 AM to get to class at gym
    7. Post goals by 8 AM.

    Just back from vacation to the Outer Banks of NC. Beautiful place.

    Gained 2 lbs. not too bad for indulging a little while away a week.

    So JFT - stay within my 1,200 calories to get rid of those 2 lbs.

    No time to post yesterday. Up early and away on time. Drove home by the scenic route and enjoyed a few stops on the way.
    It was our 49th wedding anniversary, so a bit higher on cals than I should have lol :)

    JFT Sunday 26th July 2015
    1. Preplan menus; stick to the plan. I put on 1.5 lbs this week.
    2. Unpack and put away holiday stuff.
    3. 30 mins each strength/flex; 10,000 + steps.
    4. Focus on living each moment mindfully.
    :grin: Managed everything except steps(only 6,543). In the end I was too bushed after unpacking, laundry and such like. Then, the wet weather set in and we just cosied up on the couched and watched some movies.

    JFT Mon 27/07
    1. Pre-plan menus; stick to the plan. I have reduced my calorie goal this week. I have only 3 weeks until my daughter gets hitched on the 18th August and I want to do her proud.
    2. 50 mins Dancaerobics; 40 mins strength; 10,000+ steps
    3. Deep clean bedroom and en suite; vacuum upstairs.
    4. Work on family archives.

    I doubt I will need :sunglasses: today :lol:
    @vicky1947mfp Welcome back. I'll be joining you on that 1200 max for a few day so :lol:

    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!

    Happy belated birthday Joan! Thank you for reminding me to be thankful. Birthdays are a great time to reflect on the good (& the bad). You're an inspiration & I hope you find many positives in your life today. I wish you health & joy.

    Our vacation was cancelled due to a miscommunication at DH's work. I needed a few days to process this and come up with a plan. Sometimes I just have to trust the process & give myself time to work something out instead of reacting in a negative way (stress eating, sadness , etc). I've decided to take our kids myself on a very long drive to visit my family. We'll do some activities there too. I feel guilty leaving DH behind but we were really hoping to see my family.
    JFT
    focus on positives & look for inspiration.
    Track meals
    Drink more water (feeling crampy in legs)
    Pilates today
    Take kids on bike ride before it rains
    Journal
    Finish laundry & clean
    Plan dinners for week
    Call doctor to confirm surgery date for knee (torn meniscus)

    Have a great Monday!

    Oh I love this idea! I'm kinda late to the party this evening but this is how today went...
    o:) I made the commitment to my weight loss consultant to maintain for four weeks. If I lose well that's great, but I need to reduce the pressure on myself at the moment whilst still halting the gaining weight trend.
    o:) I spent time out with my husband, in my favourite place at the coast. I stuck with an ice cream that I enjoyed a lot rather than fish and chips, an ice cream, and hot donuts (which is what I would usually have)
    o:) I walked 1.71 miles with the hounds in 30 minutes. I started out wanting to walk a mile but my planned route wasn't quite long enough, so I ended up going a lot further. This is great as to my shame, my hounds don't get out as often as they should and it's important to keep their fitness up as they get older.

    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.
    <3 I will pre plan my meals and snacks, which I will not scarf all of by ten am.
    <3 I will spend some quality time with my husband (we work opposite shifts most of the week)
    <3 I will not weigh myself. Being obsessively on and off the scales is detrimental.

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

    Hi ColleenPamela,
    Welcome! This is a great group. Lot's of support & inspiration. I think you'll enjoy it. Best wishes on your journey.

    Starting today I am going to wear my phone to measure steps and start figuring out how to add 100 more each day until my average is at least 7500. Tomorrow I will get off the bus one stop further from my office and see how many steps I can add doing that
