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!
so i'm "really" supposed to say how i did with the goals, eh? 
i typically skip that part.
I logged..... even all those calories that put me in the red.
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
Well done. Take a moment to notice how much you did achieve. And replace the word 'failure' with 'learning'. :-)
Thanks! That sounds similar to what I tell my children..... But find it hard to apply to myself I was just thinking about you and hoping ALL went well in the dentist chair for you today! 0 -
Yesterday I followed through with posting how I did with my goals..... Today I'm re-learning I need to post goals for the following day before I go to bed! 4:30pm was my first chance to post today.
So, just for tonight:
1.Drink lots of water
2.Nothing sweet after dinner
3.Post goals for Friday, 9/4
4.Take a blood pressure reading0 -

- stay within 5% of net calories

- Remember the September goal and the wonderful connections and resources I can access to help me achieve it
Achieved all. Am even slightly under calorie target which I find tough on non - bootcamp days. My evening trick was to spiralise a courgette into 'spaghetti' to eat with my veggie quorn sauce. Very tasty and saves a tonne of calories by avoiding pasta.
Root canal surgery went v well thanks. Painfree while in the chair. The bill was a different matter though! And whole area aching now. Hopefully fine in a couple of days.0 -
Friday's goals:
- push it at bootcamp
- hit net calories which means minimum alcohol when out in the evening
Once more, remind myself of the wonderful web of supportive connections I have in life. :-)0 -
I will not eat sugar
I will not blow it tonight because it is Friday and I deserve a treat0 -

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 planet
Yup, that could have gone better.
Didn't work out in the morning and lost a battle with the couch and college football in the evening.
Didn't work out, was 50% over my calorie goal, didn't express my wellness mantra.
New day.
For today:
I will work out for 80 minutes
I will stay under my calorie goal and make good choices for dinner
I will reinforce my wellness mantra
I am expressing my gratitude for the flexibility to work from home. While I started before 6, I'll be able to work in a walk at lunch.0 -
The last few days I have been craving any anybody else's notice/acknowledgement that I'm losing weight and it's a good thing. The scale is not being evil and keeps showing the weight dropping at a fairly steady rate, my clothes are looser, I'm not really wanting the junk despite being lazy this week. Clearly I'm doing at least some things correctly, because those are all good improvements, however my brain is trying to screw with me in new ways. so my JFT for today and until my thoughts/mood are changed, find more ways to "prove" to myself that this is working or to just shut up my brain. Try on old clothes, push my self physically, try something new. I don't know.0

Yesterday
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. Drank 3 glasses of water last nite instead of snacking.
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
Did so much better yesterday
JFT
1. water
2. Water
3. water -- Remember, thirst, not hunger!0 -
Jft I will:
1. Be active tonight with my family
2. Stick to my calorie goal
3. Relax my mind I've been stressing a lot lately0 -
