    Track in advance as much as possible.
    Preplan suppers for week.
    Drink 9 cups of water
    Pilates class
    Walk 45 minutes
    Instead of procrastinating, set timer on iPhone to prompt moving forward.
    Grocery shop
    Sticker for car
    Comforters to laundromat
    Be patient with kids
    Daughter has a lot of emotional outbursts lately so need to avoid emotional eating in response (try chewing gum) & have an activity ready for her.
    Research emotional/reward eating.

    I have to be able to maintain my healthy habits in order to be successful. Be patient...trust the process.

    I'd like to join this. I think the idea of one day at a time is a great idea. I am restarting my weight loss and healthier eating today. Any extra support to get going again would be so helpful. My goal for today is to walk on my treadmill, not eat any sugary foods, and to do some juicing. Wish me luck!

    Those are great goals! You can do it! The thing that has worked for me in the past is make sure you get rid of all sugary temptations in your house. Then stock your house with healthy snacks. Increasing good proteins helps keep you full and eating lots of fruits helps with the sugar cravings. Hope this helps :smile:
