    Sunday
    1. Drink lots of water. :)
    2. limit my soda to just 1. :/ Ended up having a second one.
    3. NO SUGAR --- been really doing good with this, so here's to another day of sugar free :)

    I craved carbs so much yesterday, but made it through. Feeling much less hungry though - I think because of all the protein.

    monday, 10/11
    1. log every bite
    2. stay focused and positive
    3. drink water

    ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS IS.....A BAKER!!!!!!! AND TODAY SHE MADE A GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE from scatch for her Grandma's birthday !!!!!! I don't think anyone can blame me. I failed!!!! (It was incredible and I don't even feel guilty. :) )

    I'm not sure which part of this post is my favorite: the fact that your daughter baked your mom a german chocolate birthday cake from scratch, OR the fact that you don't feel guilty for having a slice :) GOOD for you both!

    Challenging day. Noticed that some of us post our goals the night before & I'm going to try it out for a week to see if it helps w/motivation.
    JFT (Sunday)
    I will Pretrack healthy choices.

    I post the night before most of the time because if I don't I usually don't have time til late in the day.

    One word of caution, it's easy to just forget that you had goals. I check in when I log my food to re read my goals a couple times a day.

    I will stay under my calorie goal and get the week off to a solid start.
    I will work out for 50 minutes.
    I will express my wellness mantra out loud
    I will continue to have patience while driving
    I am expressing gratitude for trail walk Sundays. Love getting out into nature, experiencing new routes and spending time with my lovely bride.

    Good start to the day, fell apart a bit in the evening. Falling on the wrong side of the "be kind to myself" and "hold myself accountable" line.
    Over my calorie goal by 50%, Halloween candy.
    Didn't work out
    Expressed my wellness mantra in the morning
    Making progress on tolerance behind the wheel.

    For today:

    Stay below my calorie objective, not aspirational.
    I will work out for 90 minutes.
    I will express my wellness mantra out loud
    I will continue to work on patience, expanding to other areas of my life.
    I am expressing gratitude for a quote in my daily planner "Begin somewhere; you cannot build reputation on what you intend to do."

    JFT Tuesday
    - finish mowing and clean mower
    - alter dress for friends wedding this Saturday. I only have one option and it looks like a sack on me and I don't have the time or spare cash for a new one. It should be easy enough, I'll mostly be running a line inside of the existing seams and possibly adding one line down the back

    JFT: I will plan out the remainder of the day (afternoon snack and dinner) and log it and stick to it. I will also NOT eat any of the sweets at the dessert buffet tonight after the concert. They are never anything special and are not worth it. I will go to bed ON TIME and use my new earplugs and eye mask.

    Oh! No! Don't feel sorry for yourself, feel awesome for yourself!!!!

    When you stick to your calorie goals, you get to imagine yourself running up a long set of stairs and dancing at the top with your hands in the air! (Cue: Theme from "Rocky")

    I set my goals for each meal, that way I get to celebrate more often!

    monday
    1. log every bite :)
    2. stay focused and positive :)
    3. drink water :/

    This is 1 week on low carb, no sugar. Yesterday I was craving carbs SO BAD!! But I am going to stick with this - at least for another week, and then gradually up my carbs. It is working -- I have not had sugar in a week, and according to the scale, I am down almost 3 lbs on the first week. It may be water, but it is giving me the jumpstart that I need!

    So just for today, tues 10/13
    1. continue low carb
    2. watch calories, and log every bite
    3. ellipitical or walking tonite
    4. remember water!!!! Need at least 8 glasses
