    Just for today I'm not going to late night snack on sugary junk and give myself sore teeth and I will drink lots more water and go on the treadmill to do 20 minutes of walking

    Yesterday I went to power yoga instead of ellipticals, but feel like I got in cardio (and strength) so I'm counting it as a flexible success.

    Just For Today, I will
    Eat the meals and snacks I prepare for myself
    Get in 30-60 min ellipticals
    Eat sanely at dinner even though we're celebrating
    Have 2 bites of dessert (I don't want to backtrack with sugar)

    Jft 8/21

    I'm still logging my calories. I just have a general goal. So as long as I don't go way over, I'm good. I've had a couple of personal training appointments, so that is going well.

    For today, I will stand my ground when I need to, communicate concisely, and not complain about unimportant stuff.

    Friday's goals
    - hit or under net calories
    - no sugar based snacks

    Hit calories.
    Cooked some stuff for a friend's birthday picnic tomorrow, including a new (not very healthy) recipe for an ' Apple rose puff' which does contain some jam. Tried one to make sure I could serve it so technically missed my no sugar goal today.

    Starting again. Trying not to feel the guilt over the failure once again. Today's goals
    1. track every thing
    2. Walk for 30 minutes

    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!

    "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."

    Thank you

    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

    Lost a battle with the couch last night, ended up 20% over my calorie goal.

    Did work out for 40 minutes and completed my verbalization in the morning.
    Great work day.

    For today:

    I will start a new under calorie goal streak
    I will work out for 80 minutes. Flip my walk to this morning to avoid the heat and do my Saturday workout mindfully, no music or TV
    I will verbalize the reasons I'm becoming healthier; morning and afternoon
    I will show my wife my grateful list. Betting she can add to it
