    Last February I restarted my WL journey and was successful until I visited family this past August. I fell off the wagon, tried hopping back on, but repeatedly fell off again and again!

    I am tired of falling off and am ready to get back on so I can reach my final destination! I love the idea of taking things day by day, so I'll try to start with this and see what happens!

    JFT 12/4/15
    1. log ALL food
    2. drink more water
    3. workout

    Around here you only fail if you quit. Just keep doing the best you can day by day. You'll get there. :smiley:

    New to this thread and will now look forward to it daily.
    Started in September and have lost 13. The past week I have not done a good job with food choices but have continued my workouts. Consequently had my first gain:(

    So for my first JFT:
    1. Do my cardio dvd
    2. Go back to eating the way I did in the beginning- NO AFTERNOON SWEET!!!
    3. Log everything

    1. Stay within calorie limit
    2. Cardio workout
    3. Walk the dogs
    4. No alcohol

    Going to Rubio's to get Mahi Mahi tacos and then going to the movies today (not sure yet what we're seeing). Happily, movie theater popcorn is not one of my weaknesses. I may get some Milk Duds though if my calories allow.

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

    Expressed the reasons I'm becoming healthier in the morning but didn't in the afternoon.
    Didn't take a dose of reinforcement by visiting MFP in the afternoon
    Worked out for 36 minutes in the morning but didn't work out in the afternoon
    Made good choices through coming home after a long day. Fell prey to the couch and chips, wound up over my calorie budget

    New day:

    I will express my wellness mantra, morning and afternoon
    I will visit MFP in the afternoon for a booster of motivation
    I will stay within my calorie budget and no overindulge
    I will work out for 69 minutes
    I am expressing gratitude for the progress I've made. Was with out of town co workers and faced the choice of walking up two high floors of stairs or taking the elevator on my own. Did the stairs, something I couldn't have done at the beginning of this year.

    Meh, only thing I did on a list was log food.
    Over calories and didn't work out.
    Didn't express wellness mantra

    For today:

    I will express my wellness mantra, morning and afternoon starting with now. Done for the morning
    I will visit MFP in the afternoon for a booster shot
    I will stay within my calorie budget
    I will work out for 60 minutes
    I am expressing gratitude for the support for our local humane society. Clean and staffed with people who care. Adopted a 2 year old yesterday and while she's struggling to integrate into our home, we're hopeful for the long haul.

    Feel energetic this morning even after going to bed at 2.30am and getting up at 9.00am. This morning I have swept and mopped the kitchen and living room floors. Put washing in the machine and wiped down the windowsills. Breakfast - Banana and Sharon Fruit. Did 15mins on the cross trainer.
    JFT. - keep monitoring and log everything I eat.
    Get on the cross trainer if I don't walk too much.
    Stand up more times than I sit down.
    Stay motivated. - I can and will lose weight.

    Treading water...

    Expressed my wellness mantra in the morning.
    Didn't work out, didn't visit MFP in the afternoon, didn't reinforce the reasons I'm getting healthier and was over my calorie budget.

    Thanks for the solid start last week, the week had better results.

    Worked out four days for 2:20 minutes. Over my calorie goal on average for the week but only one truly bad day. Lost 2.9#

    I will get my evening act together.

    For today:

    I will express the reasons I'm becoming healthier. Already done for the morning, will get it done on the way home.
    I will stay within my calorie goal.
    I will walk for 30 minutes tonight. I will get off the couch.
    I am expressing gratitude that the new puppy dog is starting to bond with my wife.

    Happy Monday everyone.

    JFT, 12/07

    1. Stay within calorie limit
    2. Walk the dogs
    3. Strength workout - starting phase 2 of Chalean Extreme: Push Circuit 1
    4. 10k steps or a short cardio workout
    5. No alcohol

    There's a lot of expressing gratitude on this thread so I'd like to express my gratitude for my husband of 27 (almost 28) years for bringing me a cup of hot tea in bed every morning. Even when I'm traveling, he makes it and send me picture of it (although I think he's taunting me that I can't have it in that instance). :smiley:
