    Will stay under my calorie goal and start a new streak
    Will work out for 40 minutes
    Will make smarter choices when dining out. Can't commit to cutting an entrée in half but at least once today I will leave 1/4 of my meal on the plate.
    Will reinforce the reasons I'm becoming healthier, both morning and afternoon

    Solid day.

    Under my calorie goal, worked out for 35 minutes.
    The 3/4 strategy worked well for lunch, made smart choice for dinner.
    Reinforced, out loud, my reasons for becoming healthier in the morning. Did it internally in the afternoon.

    Still on the road, for today:

    Will stay under my calorie goal
    Will work out for 35 minutes
    Will make smart choices for my dining out meals in addition to using the 3/4 strategy
    Will reinforce my reasons for becoming healthier twice today

    JFT 8/27

    1. Log my calories
    2. Make a list of work items that I can accomplish on the computer
    3. Make a list of items that I must do when I get back to work

    Decent day on the road.

    Was 14 calories over my gaily goal. I don't count "life" (airports, shopping etc.) as calorie burning exercise but I know I did several miles in the airports.
    Had an airport cheeseburger and fries for dinner but the 3/4 strategy lessoned the impact. First time in a long time I walked away from any part of a cheeseburger
    Nice victory that I had a long flight delay before a hour flight, walked in the door after midnight but didn't succumb to a snack.
    Worked out for 35 minutes
    Did reinforce my reasons for becoming healthier once today

    For today:

    Will stay under my net calorie goal
    Will work out for 80 minutes.
    Will listen to a health and wellness podcast on my walk. Don't buy a lot of the theories (Tapping, rebounding?) but am intrigued by the conversations.
    Will reinforce my reasons for becoming healthier both morning and afternoon

    Well under my calorie goal but didn't work out. If I don't work out in the morning, I find excuses not to work out the rest of the day
    Said out loud my mantra on becoming healthier.

    For today:

    I WILL work out for 80 minutes. Will walk and will do my workout routine mindfully, no TV or music
    I will listen to a health and wellness podcast on my walk, with an open mind
    I will reinforce my reasons for becoming healthier, morning and afternoon
    I will stay under my net calorie goal for the day

    Hello! I'm new to MFP but I just had to chime in on your thread because I feel this type of thing can really help to motivate me. I often fail because I concentrate on the whole goal so I think breaking it down to JFT will be very good for me. Thanks!

    JFT:
    1. Plan meals for one week.
    2. Take three deep breaths every hour.
    3. Weigh myself (haven't done that in about a year - I'm scared to see how much I weigh now)
