    Make sure I drink water.
    Cut down on drinking tea.
    Track everything that I eat.
    Cross trainer- do at least 15 mins.
    Move more- less sitting on the sofa.
    Stay positive.

    Good Luck everyone with your goals - just for today. Take one day at a time and just do your best. We will all achieve our goals in the end. Just keep chipping away and that slimmer person will appear.

    1. No sugar, bread, water sweeteners
    2. Walk 3 miles (even if it's cold!)
    3. Ponder/read something inspirational

    2. Walk the dogs :)
    3. Hoping to stay within maintenance calories + eating back exercise calories (around 2,100 for the day) :# Umm... fail! I went over maintenance by around 250 calories. So, not horrible but I totally went over with drinks. Ugh.

    JFT, 10/28
