    Such a nice surprised feeling to see that I actually DID the things on my list! I'm not really in the habit yet of writing down goals like this, and then being accountable for them. I know that checking in here, and knowing that I made this commitment, will become more automatic after a few weeks...in the meantime,
    just for today...
    I will do something kind for my body
    I will stay at my calorie limit
    I will do one thing good for my spirit
    I'll use the supports at hand
    And I will do 15 min of exercise
    And...I will do something of service for someone else,
    Namaste.

    @TerriRichardson112 - thanks!! Things are going really well. We are cleaning out dads house that he lived in for 60 years. Big job to say the least.

    I am keeping busy and staying within my calorie goal.

    When is your daughters wedding? I know you are crazy busy too. But looks like you are sticking to your goals really well.

    Such honorable goals. I need to think more along those lines too.

    I guess right now my goal for others is to finish cleaning out my dads house that he was in for 60 years. The last 4 months have been consumed with caring for dad before his passing in July.

    I will get there eventually.

    Good luck with goals.

    Need the accountability!
    For today:
    tracking all food
    staying away from chocolate
    lots of little walks
    lots of herbal tea
    If I can do those things, it will have been a great day! going out of my mind with cravings...

    Understand about the cravings. I am at maintenance but have not been satisfied with what I am eating. Right now I am craving sweets and just trying to conquer that craving. Any helpful suggestions?

    For today, I will work out this morning for 40 minutes and walk for 45 later in the day.
    For today, I will stay under my calorie goal and won't indulge in any single food.
    For today, I will spend time getting organized so I can hit the ground running Monday morning


    Worked out for 83 minutes including a 2.5 mile walk at for me, a new fast pace of 16:48 a mile.
    Was on track the majority of the day, fell off the wagon after dinner. 605 over my calorie goal.
    Walked into the office this morning with a solid to - do list and a head start on several projects.

    For today I will work out for 45 minutes.
    For today I will stay under my calorie goal and won't over indulge in any single food (mean it this time.)
    For today I will remind myself of the reasons I want to be healthy and why I'm in this for the long haul.

    Today, I'm showing up. I haven't logged in to MFP since I don't know when. I have gained 10 MORE lbs since the last time. Lurking and logging.

    I just had a follow-up appointment with my Oncologist and got the "all clear". They changed my schedule to only coming every six months now, so that's exciting and scary at the same time!

    So....JFT, I will:
    • Be grateful for another day, for still being in remission, and not sweat the small stuff
    • Log my food faithfully
    • Make healthy choices
    • Get in some sort of activity

    Have a fantastic day everyone! :smiley:

    So Monday's goal is:
    - choose to avoid binge/comfort eating even if I feel unwell/headachy/grumpy. It doesn't make me feel any better and quite frankly putting all that junk into my body isn't going to help me get well!

    Achieved tho did eat some biscuits. Was within net calorie goal. Just.
