    All good for yesterday except didn't get in my upper body workout. Tired out after the Turbo Fire workout - so fun. :smile:

    JFT, 9/30
    1. Eat within 100-200 calories of my limit - won't burn much with today's workouts but have been under my calorie goal consistently so have a bit of leeway
    2. Get in an upper body strength workout
    3. Insanity Max 30 Pulse and some foam rolling
    4. Walk the dogs
    5. Tired and a bit down today but I will not be letting that disrupt reaching my goals for the day

    I think there's a rule about ...if you do a workout with the words turbo, max, fire, burn, explosion, insanity or Armageddon in the title...you done good! :smiley:

    New to this thread. I think it will be helpful. I need to start again, but am lacking motivation. Maybe a day at a time will help.
    1) Log every bite
    2) Drink my gallon of water
    3) Go for a walk

    Love this idea... And would gladly join!
    1. Get to work on time
    2. Leave mid day for gym visit
    3. Salad as basis for lunch
    4. Mindful snacking
    5. Get to bed by 10!

    Hello! Welcome! Remember to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative!

    Oh, and I entered the Hot Chocolate 5k in Denver for Sunday morning.

    Their slogan is,
    " How far will you run for chocolate?"

    That seemed very motivational to me! :wink:

    I will stay under my calorie goal and make good meal choices.
    I will work out for 90 minutes.
    I will express my wellness mantra twice, out loud.
    I am expressing gratitude for being physically able to work out and walk despite my weight.

    Well over my calorie goal. Lost a battle with a bag of chips but not too much else in the bad choice department other than quantity.
    Worked out for 43 minutes.
    Didn't express my wellness mantra.

    For today:

    I am expressing gratitude for a new day.

    Good for you, taking it one day at a time and doing it the way you know will work best for you! I think maybe I need to follow your example, take a step back and slow down a little bit in my goals. Maybe I wouldn't fail every single day! :wink:

    I'm in.

    Today I want to get back on track after losing control a bit yesterday. So that means 3 bottles of water throughout the day, no excessive snacking, and cooking the dinner I had planned on cooking last night.

    I feel your pain, Luke. I've been off track the last two days and today isn't looking any better. I'm one of those people who eats when stressed out. :(

    Good luck!

    thank you for your honesty. one good thing about THOSE days.... they pass. "this too shall pass" I'm positive that if you keep listening to your inner self, you will figure out what it's about :)

    tomorrow is a new day, a new month, a new chance to make mindful decisions, and we have faith in you!
