Track water-get back up to 9C.
Encourage husband to do am walk with me & pup.
Strength training.
Preplan suppers for rest of week.

Inquire about Tae Kwon Do at gym. In my 20s, I loved the mind/body connection of this sport & would love to take it up again! I gave it up when things got too busy at work & I started a family. I remember being in great shape & having excellent focus while I did it. It will be interesting

I have started and stopped so many times. It is hard to break years of bad habits. But I know you can do this -- 1 baby step at a time! The important thing is to never give up, and keep trying!!0 -
Trying again too. Just for today, being grateful for the healthy food I can eat. And being content with that.0

Thanks Joan...it's not easy, but I really like this thread - it seems a little easier to pick a couple of small things instead of looking at the bigger (pun intended) picture!
So JFT:
1. Drink 5 glasses of water (I met my goal of 4 yesterday)
2. Log everything
3. Not beat myself up if I go a little over in calories (focus more on the logging)0 -
Just for today, I will:
1. Try not to be upset over weight fluctuations, which are normal
2. Not give up on the entire day because I ate dessert once
3. Exercise a little, lift heavy (or kind of heavy) things
4. Be nice to myself and my friends
5. Finish at least one homework assignment0 -
