      Headed home after 7 days on the road.
      I will stay under my calorie goal. I mean it.
      I will reinforce my wellness mantra
      I will work out for 40 minutes and do my exercise routine mindfully
      I am expressing gratitude for my parents. Today, focusing on the fact that they're active, mobile and sharp in their mid 80's.

      Could have done much better on the road last week.
      For yesterday, I was over my calories by 12%. Missed logging a snack...
      Didn't reinforce my wellness mantra and didn't work out.

      For today:

      I will stay under my new calorie goal.
      I will reinforce my wellness mantra.
      I will work out for 80 minutes.
      I am expressing gratitude for my parents. Spent time with them over the weekend which reinforced the loving, supportive environment they created for me. To this day, I feel cherished walking in their door.

      Grocery shopping-get some berries.
      Prep supper.
      Laundry.

      Put yourself on the list

    • Posts: 12 Member
      Just for today, September 14th, I will:
      • Drink water like my throat is on fire.
      • Log every morsel that is lucky enough to pass my lips and take a ride on the DigestiveTrack.
      • Do 10 squats every time I go to pee unless someone's in the bathroom because awkward.
      • See sugar for the poison it is and avoid it altogether.
      • Encourage myself like I would a good friend.
      • Remember that my health is invaluable and this life is the only one I get.

      Just for today, Sept 14, I will

      Try to care about my health for more than the first 2 hours of my day

      Drink the water

      Really really try to log- I've been so horrible

      Really really really try to avoid the extra sugar- as previous post says- it really is poison, but for me it's heroin

      1. Leave the ice cream alone that I so stupidly bought yesterday. Even though it is "skinny cow" ice cream, I still can't just eat one.
      2. Take a long walk today.
      3. Get back on the plan. I was doing so well, but had 2 days with too much sugar, which is bad for me.
      4. Work on cleaning the house today. A uncluttered, clean house makes a person feel so much better. I have been doing so much sewing (17 charity lap quilts done so far :). But as a result, house work has suffered!



      I just discovered a website called James Clear. I am going to start reading his free books - about changing your habits.

      Oh my gosh! LOVE Skinny Cow ice cream, and I agree....one is NEVER enough! LOL!

      1. CHANGE MY MINDSET. This is not a "all" or "nothing" diet. I started with just 1 buster bar, which led me to buy "skinny cow" icecream, and this weekend was awful. I believe I ate 4 skinny cows just yesterday. I know sugar is my downfall, but I have to change my mindset, or I will forever be going up and down with my weight, and not reach my goals.
      2. This is a lifestyle change - not a diet!
      3. drink water
      4. Be thankful for my health, and take care of myself.

      Great day.

      Well under new calorie goal.
      Worked out for 93 minutes including a 3 mile walk at 16:60 a mile.
      Expressed my wellness mantra

      For today:

      I will stay under my new calorie goal and not eat chips
      I will work out for 40 minutes
      I will express my wellness mantra
      I am expressing gratitude for the simple thing of covered parking at work, home and at my airport off site parking. Nice to keep my car clean, out of the damaging and hot sun, free from snow and in a more secure environment.

      drink more water, can't seem to get past 5-6 cups .
      Crock pot is ready - this will eliminate some of my stress. I tend to snack on unhealthy things while prepping dinner.
      Pretrack again.
      Add more protein in the am.
      Walk & try to make yoga (I need to meditate)
      Take youngest to doctor.
      Revisit a past interest.
      Stop looking to others for my happiness. It's up to me!
