JFT
Cardio at Gym at Lunch
No strength training today, rest
Abs
No Sugar tonight
Made all goals yesterday but feeling kind of low today. It is day 4 of trying to avoid sugar, eating better and exercising everyday. It will get easier but today I feel like I will never get anywhere. For some reason when I woke up all I could think about it I do this every year in January and then somehow slide into bad habits again. I don't want that to happen this year, it feels like a roller coaster.
JFT
1.) Cardio at lunch
2.) try to focus on accomplishments instead of what I have failed on in the past
3.) continue to read my strength training book tonight for encouragement and education
4.) appreciate my son and my husband and how blessed I am to not be lonely and have a lively home

Declutter & hang some pics.

Seem so tired lately. Need to get to bed by 9:30.
Control the day or the day will control you. Be proactive.

JFT
Log all food eaten - doing
Drink more water - prefer tea or coffee.
Aim to go on the cross trainer (am) - done.
Aim to walk for at least 30 mins in the evening
Keep busy - household chores - as I go along.
Enjoy family time - as much as I can.
I have been logging food, still looking after mum 3-4 hours every day. - doing small jobs but mostly talking to mum and dealing with mum's needs. I have started going out for evening walks with my husband. I have also been using my cross trainer. I unwind drawing, painting or reading in between cooking, cleaning and spending time with family.
Not always time to do what I would like to do ie have a holiday, go to the pictures or watch a play - somethings just have to wait. If things get me down I will do some mindfulness relaxation.
Have a good day everyone.0 -

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.
You did a great job on these!0 -

after getting over the initial "hump"..... every day without sugar gets easier and easier. as for the roller coaster, been there, done that..... just make sure you don't leave "us" in February this yearMade all goals yesterday but feeling kind of low today. It is day 4 of trying to avoid sugar, eating better and exercising everyday. It will get easier but today I feel like I will never get anywhere. For some reason when I woke up all I could think about it I do this every year in January and then somehow slide into bad habits again. I don't want that to happen this year, it feels like a roller coaster. We are here for you! some people do very well letting themselves have a 'cheat' day or a 'cheat' meal. so they don't feel they are depriving themselves...... as long as it doesn't become a habit, as you say, it's really no big deal. having said that.... it does not work that well for me, personally. my sister allows herself one pizza per month and it works for her. I'm ok with pizza.....as long as i don't let it turn into a total carb fest after the pizza. I hope that makes sense! just my two cents.

Just for today...knew I was going to be eating out today, so just grabbed an apple as I headed out the door this am. Of all the decisions in front of me, I opted for the healthy turkey dinner of the restaurant menu while my hubby had a huge clubhouse and fries. Made myself a healthy smoothie for supper. So, just for today, I am proud of my will power and choices...now to focus on the next day

J4T Thursday
1. Plan meals
2. Walk at lake
3. Meeting at nursing home
4. Gym
I finally finushed day 29 of my 30 day workout. It took 4 days to finish! These last few days are really just too hard for me, so I'm doing it a little at a time. 1 more day to go.
Today is a special day for me. One year ago today I made a commitment to try to lose 2 pounds a week and 100 pounds in a year.
Gee. I failed. I ONLY lost 91 pounds.
Ha!Ha! JUST KIDDING! I LOST 91 POUNDS IN 1 YEAR!!!!! HOORAY FOR ME. AND I'VE LOST 121 POUNDS IN THE PAST 2.5 YEARS!
Still working on the last 29. I am hoping to finish that goal by my birthday at the end of June.
