    In an attempt to stay away from sugary snacks in the car, I ate some sugar-free candies instead. The sugar alcohols upset my stomach terribly. Lesson learned.
    Just For Today my goals are
    To plan and make invigorating and healthy meals and snacks
    To do an hour of ellipticals
    To create a lovely sensible dinner for two tonight
    Also, to drink a lot of water

    "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!!!

    I can relate to that. to all of that. here's to getting back on that track :)

    JUST for today,
    I'm stealing from feistyjojo:

    no sugar-based snacks

    also, work on my hip pain with a kind attitude and let disappointment go. it is what it is, and worry will do nothing positive for me.

    HAPPY FRIDAY to all of you.

    For today:

    I will work out for 80 minutes
    For today, I will stay under my calorie goal and will stay away from chips and cookies
    For today, I will say out loud my list of reasons I'm becoming healthier. Morning and afternoon.
    For today, I will find a couple of new positive wellness podcasts to fill my walks

    Solid day yesterday.

    Worked out for 86 minutes including a 2.5 mile walk at a 17:39 pace. Bit slower but went with my lovely bride. Always will trade speed for the time together. Was 10% below calorie goal. Over indulged on chocolate but still within my plan.
    Reminded myself of why I'm becoming healthier in the morning, didn't do it in the evening.
    Found several new podcasts, interested to see if they match their summaries.

    For today:

    I will work out for 40 minutes
    For today I will stay under my calorie goal and won't overindulge in any single food.
    For today I will verbalize the reasons I'm becoming healthier, morning and afternoon.
    For today I will insure I'm positive in all interactions with my boss
