    I will stay within my calorie budget for the day
    I will hit the treadmill when I get back to my hotel tonight
    I am expressing gratitude that it's a new day and that my body is wired to turn to tacos when I encounter trauma instead of drugs, alcohol or gambling.

    Meh, two off days in a row...

    Didn't remind myself of my I'm becoming healthy.
    Way over my calorie budget.
    Settled in and watched Rocky 1 on TV instead of hitting the treadmill.

    New day:

    For today I will express my wellness mantra out loud twice. Did one already this morning.
    For today I will stay within my calorie budget for the day
    I will work out for 30 minutes. 32 minutes already this morning, flying home tonight

    Decent day:

    Expressed my wellness mantra twice
    Was over my calorie budget but improving. Three bourbons on the plane took down my commitment levels...
    Good workout. Proud of myself for getting up early and knocking it out

    For today:

    I will continue to express the reasons I'm becoming healthier. It makes a difference.
    I will stay under my calorie budget for the day.
    I will walk when I get home from work. Always have the community center track if the sidewalks are still icy
    I am expressing gratitude for the beautiful snow. I missed the shoveling part but the mountains are gorgeous today.

    Does everyone have their game plan set up for the day!

    I intend to be very careful between now and Christmas Eve so that I can relax and enjoy the holiday. I want to come through this slightly lighter than I am today!

    Have a great day!
