    J4T Tuesday 1/5/15, first post.
    1. stuck to my meal prep at work for break fast and lunch
    2. logged all of my calories
    3. ate healthy dinner; prelogged at work to manage intake
    4. had healthy snacks when I felt hungry only after drinking water (just to be sure).
    5. Came home from work and went straight to my workout (was going to head to the gym; but too many NYR people, so I opted for 21 day fix cardio DVD).
    6. Thought positive about my plan, forgave myself for my mistakes in the past, taking it one day at a time.

    See you tomorrow. :blush:

    1. Stay within calorie limits :)
    2. Walk the dogs :/ Nope. Poor girls - raining all day pretty steady so no walk for us.
    3. Cardio workout of some kind - still trying to find something that's intense enough to clear out the cobwebs without being high impact. It sucks. I guess I'm stuck with the elliptical until I figure it out :) Elliptical it was - 45 minutes with 20 minutes of intervals
    4. Go try to find some swimwear suitable for exercise swimming instead of just lounging-around-by-the-pool swimming. Sports Authority or REI are likely my best bets around here. I wonder if I'm going to have to find someone to teach me correct form and technique for swimming laps. Hmm. :) Found some swim shorts and a tank at Target.

    JFT, 1/06

    1. Stay within calorie limits
    2. Walk the dogs, weather permitting
    3. Strength workout: Lean Circuit 2
    4. No alcohol

    cardio half hour, leisurely stroll 3 miles, hire contractor, drink water, mailbox, buy cd, remember that taking coffee and dessert (which I could then not eat much of) and having sparkling water and playing with kids got me through a dinner ok.

    yesterday went really good, stuck to all goals except did not make it to cardio at lunch, work was too busy but did my workout when I got home last night. No SUGAR!!! It was a little easier last night. I drank some tea sweet and spicy tea and that really helped. Ordered some Republic of Tea online so excited to have a couple new flavors coming.

    Love this painting, it is beautiful. I think you should run an art therapy session on here. It will encourage people to do something different which will help to stop wanting to snack in between meals. How about starting a blog, I'm not sure how you do it or whether other people would be interested. Absolutely love your work.

    There are so many rules, diet "aids", exercise fads, and theories that I have spent my entire adult life losing and regaining weight. Finally, at age 61, I have made a 'discovery' that suits me. Follow an eating plan that I like, don't go under or over my calories by too much each day. (I try to stick to 1200 per day). Do some strength training three times a week at least, do a moderate bash on my exercise bike for 45 minutes 4 times a week and remember, when I go off the rails, and I do now and then, that's life, I'm human, get back on the horse and never, ever be ashamed. So now I find I have lost 20kgs in 6 months (that's 44lbs) and I am actually not miserable. I do leave the fizzy drinks alone. I have also just finished watching a TVs program that ran an experiment on when to exercise - it seems that men should exercise before eating and women after eating - something to do with men having more muscle, women having more fat and each burning fat differently. Every little helps!

    But it certainly could be worse. If you were not here, making a really good effort, you would be even worse off a month from now!

    AND Don't forget that weight loss is 90% diet and 10% exrecise. You can still put a good dent in that extra 4 pounds while you are healing!

    Be sure to not eat too little. You don't want to set yourself up for a binge.

    Keep going just one day at a time!

    Fresh air and exercise really do help with depression. While you are out take time to really enjoy the scenery, smile at the people you pass, and count your blessings. Try to think of your walks as a break from what ever pain you are dealing with.

    I walked every day last year at this time, just starting with 15 minutes. After a couple of weeks, it became my own restful time and really helped pull me out of my black place.
