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

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

Just for today:
Walk 6600 steps
One afternoon snack
Log everything
40 minute walk this evening

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)

Welcome to the thread, Rose. Feel the fear and do it anyway lol. Step on those scales and stand tall, BraveWarrior!

Good day yesterday.

Worked out for 89 minutes including a 2.8 mile walk at 16:44 a mile. Did afternoon workout mindfully with no tv or music, focusing on the activity
Listened to a Extreme Health Radio podcast on my walk. The general message of mind/body gets through but not sure I'm ready for their level of "outside the box"
Reinforced the reasons for being healthier, morning and afternoon
Was 25% under my net calorie goal for the day

For today:

I will work out for 80 minutes. Will enjoy a morning walk with my lovely bride
I will say out loud the reasons I'm progressing on this health journey both morning and afternoon
I will stay under my net calorie goal for the day moving to a three day streak
I will spend time getting myself organized so I can hit the ground running Monday morning

Just for today I will:
Plan my meals/snacks
Mow the lawn
Walk or do a workout video
Relax and enjoy my day
Sundays r hard for me to be productive and feel good so I want to get in a mix of activity and relaxation. Hopefully I will have a good day!
