    This is a continuation of a thread I started a thread late October, and another one in January and February, to try to stay on track, "JUST FOR A DAY".

    We have had over 500 replies each month, so I am going to restart this each month. This has helped me tremendously, to start each day new. It has kept me going, and to keep on trying, one day at a time. And, I've met some wonderful friends along the way! Reading others goals for just one day has given me so much inspiration and goals to set for myself.

    If I can do this for JUST ONE DAY, well, maybe that one day will lead to another day, an entire week, an entire month, and this will help me to develop better habits for my life, taking this one day at a time.

    So each day I am going to post what I would like to accomplish. While I post my "Just for today" list, I am also going to post how I did the day before, so I am accountable to you guys as well.

    Would anyone like to join me!! I am always so encouraged reading others goals, and together, we can all reach our goals for 2015 and beyond. I hope to keep doing this, starting a new thread each month.

    March is a new month, a fresh start!

    To bookmark this new thread, just click on the little yellow star. That book marks it, so you can find it easy. When you go to post again, to the right at the top of your page is a bell, a star, and a little flower. Click on the star, and it will show your book marked threads.

    Anyone can join!

    This is the group I need...I could use the support & accountability as I start this journey. One day at a time should apply to so many aspects of my life not just diet & fitness. Here's my goals for today
    1. Enter everything I eat or drink
    2. Do some form of exercise any amount of time
    3. Drink more water

    I wish I could say do a 60 minute workout but not so simple with an injury. So, glass half full response:

    My goals for today:
    1. Drink more water
    2. Log everything I eat
    3. Keep busy with my needlework so I'm not thinking of food
    4. Do some physio exercises
    5. Spending time with loved ones

    Hope you all have a lovely day :)

    Off to visit Derry City today. So,
    1. Make sensible choices in restaurant for lunch.
    2. 10,000+ steps.
    3. Live, laugh, have fun. I'm on holiday, after all!


    @TerriRichardson112 Derry in the US or Northern Ireland? :smile:

    Northern Ireland. I live in Bangor and we were up on the North Coast for a week with my elder daughter and two teenage grandsons.

    I am jealous, I was able to visit Ireland 2 years ago on a work trip. Absolutely loved it & I loved the people. I was there in April and want to get back again someday!!!!

    Thanks for your motivating posts - today I will drink more water - take a long walk with my daughter, enjoy the sunshine and keep in mind this is all about "one day at a time" -those days WILL add up however slowly and I will eventually be smaller in size!

    @vicky1947mfp - I was in & out of the thread when your dad was sick also. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have the utmost respect for you and care & time you were able to give to him ((((hugs)))).

    I am still trying. I was doing quite well & motivation was skyrocketing. Last week I hit a low. Only 2 days of exercise but both workouts I pushed myself to my limits. I love this group & the wonderful, real, sweet people. Thanks for keeping in real.

    Thanks Ruby for your kind words. It has been a difficult spring and summer but for some reason I have stayed the course with MFP. I think it gave me something else to focus on during dad's sickness.

    Good luck on your MFP journey also. This thread helps so much.

    For today, I will get back on track. New day. I will stay under my calorie goal and won't over indulge in any single food.
    For today, I will work out for 80 minutes. Will flip my workouts and walk in the morning.
    For today, I will reduce my couch time. Plenty of things to do to keep me occupied.
    For today, I will remind myself of why I'm getting healthier. Morning and afternoon.
    I will continue to add to my grateful list    .[/quote]

    Good day, back on track. Well under my calorie goal. Worked out for 1:25 including a 2.5 mile walk at 17:04 a mile pace. Walked in the morning and picked a tougher route. Big victory was walking away from snacks and being active (OK, one nap) for most of the day. Spent time last night getting organized for today.

    For today I will work out for 80 minutes.
    For today, I will stay under my calorie goal and won't over indulge in any single food.
    For today I will remind myself of why I'm getting healthier, morning and afternoon.
    For today, I will take the time to share with my coworker and good friend how much his professional and personal friendship has meant to me. Officed next door to each other for 8 years and he's kept me sane and on track many times.

    I'm new to this thread and love the mindset. I actually have a keychain that says "Just For Today" to remind myself, when I'm trying to steer clear of some craving or other, to skip it just for today. Often reminding myself that it will be in my future, that there will be a cupcake(or whatever my craving of the moment is(usually sugar)) someday, makes abstaining from it now a bit easier. And then remind myself the next day and the next....
    JFT my goals are-
    To make healthy meal and snack choices
    and not get sucked into a jar of nutbutter.
    To do an hour on the ellipticals.
    To prepare a tasty and sensible dinner for two tonight.
    And to drink lots of water.

    Excited to be on this thread with you all,
    M
