I will stay under my new calorie goal and beat the week on average.
I will work out for 80 minutes. Will give me 7+ hours for the week and 15+ miles.
I will express my wellness mantra
I will spend time getting organized for Monday morning. Traveling the next two weeks.
I am expressing gratitude for the long, uninterrupted walking paths and sidewalks. Over a three mile walk yesterday, crossing only three roads and five or six side streets.
Great day yesterday
Under my new calorie goal and beat the week for the average.
Worked out for 93 minutes including a 3.05 mile walk and an even faster 16:04/mile pace.
Expressed my wellness mantra and hit the ground running.
For today:
I will stay under my new calorie goal.
I will work out for 40 minutes.
I will express my wellness mantra.
On the road 7 of the next 10 nights. Focus...
I am expressing gratitude that I do have some healthy eating habits. Love yogurt for breakfast and have always been a big fan of oatmeal with fruit. Makes it easier to have these as "go to's."0 -

Lost 2 lbs this past week. It's funny, when I'm so strict with my calories, eating healthy & exercising daily, I feel like my loss should be more around 5lbs (which is not practical). For me, weighing 1x a week has eliminated some of the negative feelings I have towards the scale. We had a big church picnic yesterday that I was proud of myself for not overindulging.
JFT
stay focused
Pretrack
Be prepared for promotion meeting.
Plan suppers for the week.
Journals
Walk/Pilates
Have a great Monday everyone.
Nice job on the 2 pounds and getting through the picnic!0 -
Commitments met for yesterday. Had my Mounds bar (so good) and didn't eat anything except what I brought and had planned. Lots of activity yesterday so came in well under my calorie limit even with the extra treat.
JFT 9/20
1. Rest day - my muscles need some recovery time!
2. Stay within 100-200 calories of my limit for today - no workout today so harder to stay strictly within but I had a good week last week so a couple hundred extra today won't hurt.
Did good yesterday, just a few calories over my limit. Had a nice rest day.
JFT 9/21
1. Eat within my calorie limit
2. Insanity Max 30 workout (week 4!)
3. Walk the dogs - already done!
4. Work on remaining positive and making good decisions that will help me reach my goals0 -

@TerriRichardson112 both the weight loss and the unaided steps are fantastic. You are doing awesome
My JFT Tuesday is to squash the greedy selfish voices in my head that want sugary carbs and promote and listen to the ones that know better. Translation: Don't give in to the sugary cravings.
and brush and floss before bed.

Felt like I was slipping last night. An old habit of snacking unhealthy foods in the evenings. I'm amazed at how much more I'm paying attention to the "why" I'm eating now. I measured out lite popcorn & put away the bag. This was the hardest part LOL. I tracked it... Clothes are fitting better...so worth it! I've struggled w/drinking enough water & have finally worked my way up.
JFT
Maintain control of eating/activity.
More protein at lunch today.
Walk & weights. While walking listen to podcast "Halfsizeme".
Work on art project.
Be supportive to a loved one.
Update resume.
Having company this Sunday-start preparing (menu, special activity for kids, etc).
Sort books for book sale at church (15 mins)
Read something for inspiration (not necessarily related to weightloss).
Good health is priceless!

Today I am either going to start a conversation with a total stranger or with someone from work I have never talked to other than about work stuff. Going to be my hardest challenge yet. PLAY BALL !!0

I just read through a little bit, and I like this idea a lot! It's so easy to get discouraged by the 'big picture' of losing weight (have already lost 100 and gained back 40...have another 80 or so to go), but taking it one day at a time seems a lot easier to manage.
Just For Today:
1. Stick to the eating plan I mapped out this morning (going out to eat and have pre-selected what I'm going to eat)
2. Go to bed at a reasonable hour (not midnight like the last few nights...aiming for 10/10:30)
If I can manage those two I'll be doing great! The bedtime is harder for me I think.
