Welcome back feisty. I'm more likely to show up here than log, so..... That will change for September! I'll join you with the 4 pounds :-) slow and steady.
Just for Wednesday:
Log
PT work
foam roll work
Drink a lot of water.
Great. Good luck, stay focused and keep me updated with how well you do!0 -
Great! I'm looking forward to working on a small, shorter term goal and hearing how my fellow goal - setters are doing. :-)feistyjojo -- welcome back.
And yes, I am also going to try at least 4 lbs this month!! . That will get me back into Onderland! So that is my goal also. I joined another thread to record my weight each week, and my goal is to get back to 199. Somehow just seeing a one in front of my numbers seems so much better!!
I did this before - I know I can do it again!
We are all in this together. And I agree, this group of friends are the most positive, encouraging group of people. We all understand, and are here for each other!
So thank you all!

PT and foam rolling, check
water drinking, check
dusting off and moving forward (borrowed goal from sunny), check
only goal i half-baked was the not beating myself up for less than desirable choices thing. old habits die HARD!
thanks for keeping me accountable 0 -
Yesterday
1. drink water when I want to snack - and wait 10 minutes!
I did so much better last nite. Not perfect, but better. Nighttime is my hardest time for wanting to graze!
My daughter, who has mental illness, is worse. Her doctor is trying to decrease her medications, thinking she is on too much. It is so hard to get her interested in anything at all - so all she does is sleep, or lay in her bedroom. I try so hard to stay upbeat, and do OK during the day, but somehow, everything builds by evening, and I just eat for comfort. But I know that will not help her to get better - only make myself worse.
So I am going to keep coming on here, keep trying. While I still ate a few things last nite that were not planned, I did a lot better with remembering the water.
SO just for today
1. Drink more water, especially in the evenings.
2. brush my teeth at 8pm - meaning no more snacking.
3. concentrate on all the postives in my life - not the negatives. No one said life would be easy. We all have challenges. SO enjoy all the positives -- and get back to sewing for therapy, not eating!
Joan, i SO feel for you and your daughter. My 22 year old daughter suffers too. She doesn't live with us anymore and that makes a WORLD of difference, but i do worry about her almost constantly. and BOY do i know the temptation to stuff feelings/frustrations/tensions that build up during the day...... with a big bowl of "whatever"
sigh. yet i also know you are right, doing that only makes ME worse. again, i say..... my heart goes out to you.0 -

OY! good luck with dental surgery! i've read that listening to music helps with remaining calm under such circumstances.0 -
today's goals done!! Wahoo!! I had to modify just a little since I can't find my pedometer anywhere... so I went with 2 miles instead of 2,000 steps. It felt good to push myself again...I've been inactive for so long!! But with this daily goal concept I think I can stay on track!
~ so "Just for today" (9-3-15)
1) I will drink 9cups of water
2) 30 mins of Zumba since it's a rest day for the squat challenge
3) stick with better snack choices when I really need them, not just because (excuse here)0 -
I will stay under my net calorie goal moving to six days in a row. Will not overindulge.
I will reinforce my wellness mantra both morning and afternoon.
I will work out for 80 minutes today
I am expressing my gratitude for the stairs in my house. Used to hate them, now see them as additional exercise
Great day yesterday.
Sixth day in a row under my calorie goal, didn't over indulge.
Reinforced my wellness mantra once
Worked out for 88 minutes including a 2.8 mile walk at 16:52/mile pace
For today:
I will stay under my net calorie goal for the 7th day in a row
I will reinforce my wellness mantra both morning and afternoon
I will work out for 40 minutes today
I am expressing my gratitude for our little 16 year old dog who still wants to be on this planet0 -
Wow. This helped me so much yesterday. Thursday goals:
1. 30 min. Exercise
2. No desserts
3. Lots of water
4. Stay within goal.0 -
Had such a better day yesterday. Drank a lot of water in the evening, which helped, and went out for a 6.5 mile walk! -- in 90 degree weather! But there was a nice breeze, so that helped.
I have been watching YouTube videos about nutrition and health. I learned it takes 17 days to stop cravings - and that by eating sugar, and yes, even caffeine, it makes you more hungry. I knew that, I guess just needed to hear it again. Sugar really is my biggest downfall, and I think that is why in the evenings I do worse. I eat so healthy all day, only to have a "small" bowl of ice cream - thinking this is only 120 calories. But then that leads to being hungry all nite, and eating more calories than I should.
So Just for today
1. replace ONE bad habit with ONE good habit. Today, instead of a caffeine-free diet coke in the evening, opt for a large glass of ice water.
2. No sugar or snacking after dinner. If I am really hungry, drink water, wait 10 minutes, and if I snack at all, count out 10 nuts.
3. think positive. Stress can actually force your body to hold onto weight, so try to stay stress free. Walking helps with that.
Hope you all have a great day. Oh, and the videos I am watching are by PsycheTruth. I can't remember the ladies name, but she is a holistic health coach. She has a lot of videos - all very interesting.0 -
The videos I am watching are Psyche Truth, and the ladies name is Corrina Rachel. Very informative, and she gives ideas for healthy snacks, etc.0
