Just for today --- daily commitment thread

Hi all. A few days MIA although have been tracking the (many) calories.
I lost all motivation last week.... feeling unwell, sore tooth, stressful work issue and just didn't have it in me.
Feeling a bit better this week and finally got to a bootcamp today despite the spluttering.
So... This week I am going to keep my goals small so I start to rest a bliss some control and motivation.
Tuesday's goal:
- no sugar type snacks, whatever else I do. That's it. I'm going to break the sugar monster's hold on me!0 -

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
Nice to have you M. It has really helped me. Good luck with your MFP journey.0 -
Just stopping by to say hello.
I was out of town for several days and did not track or set goals. I've been a little off track with exercise (lots of time in cars and boats, not enough enough time moving) but my eating was fine.
I need to go to a fancy event this Friday, so tomorrow I will be back to setting strict goals.
Cheers!0 -

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.
I could NEVER be trusted alone with baklava! I would have to take it outside and throw it in my neighbor's garbage can. No. I would have to have one of my kids do that, because I would probably eat it on the way!.

Just for today,
I'm going to stay in my calorie range.
Going to get more physical
Have more patience!0 -
Had to report back already on one of mine. Didn't get frustrated, mildly impatient and confused at the lack of the system interaction, signed, and have a new car. Now to work on getting more driving time before my driver's license test on Sept. 11, which should be easier in a vehicle that isn't my husband's baby and is smaller and easier to drive.

Hmmmm... not quite. I had a 2 biscuits at the conference venue I was working at today. The only good news is that I talked myself out of the 'well I've blown it so might as well carry on' conversation and stopped. Made myself really check in with hunger level (which was generally at 'ravenous' all day today) and what I really wanted, recognising that craving might just be a symptom of something else.
Just asking myself that helped me to break the urge long enough to start doing something else.0 -
Wednesday's goals:
- come min 200 calories under daily goal
- avoid all added sugar snacks0 -

"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."
This describes me - feeling like such a failure. But, being a failure is staying down. Today, I stand up, and get back on track!!!0 -

I saw this quote this morning, and feel exactly like you do. I have tried and tried so many times, "starting over" again and again. But we are only a failure when we give up. I'm starting fresh again today. You are to. We can do this!
