    Take a moment to be thankful that when my husband looked at me this morning and I asked him what he was thinking he said how beautiful I am.
    Take a moment to be thankful that my daughter worked out with me last night because she supports me unconditionally. <3:)


    So sweet! What a wonderful family you have - much to be grateful for!

    JFT Tuesday
    Take care of my back. I think I slept a long time on my back last night and n ow my lower back is killing me. Easy walking, some stretching, painkiller and a hot bath when I get home are in order. Right now I'm just trying to keep it warm and supported while still trying to move around some, so I don't have it lock up from lack of motion. I didn't realize it was this bad when I left forwork this morning so I don't have any pain killers with me.

    Log my food

    Those of you with chronic back problems, my hat is off to you for actually getting stuff done especially exercising as I'm barely functioning from the pain.

    As one who has had back problems, I feel for you. There is nothing worse. Please take good care of yourself. Back spasms are the worse.

    Yesterday I did SO much better. I think of what all of you wrote, and how this is baby steps. Like @bri170lb said, we need to commit to becoming healthy. I can commit to doing this for 1 day at a time! Last nite I drank a lot of water, and did not snack. I think once I have even a bowl of popcorn, it gets the craving started, and then I blow the entire day.

    SO hoping everyone has a great day today! We can all do this -- we are important!

    Glad you had a better day yesterday!

    Just For Today, Tuesday (1/12)

    1. 85 oz of water
    2. Track every bite
    3. No added sugar
    4. Gratitude Journal

    Have been fighting a cold since New Year's Eve and then had knee scope done to repair 2 meniscal tears last Thursday on top of it, so not much activity for me this week.

    Tracie in Green Bay
    I'm not "dieting". I'm changing my lifestyle so I can feel better, and if I lose weight in the meantime, well that's just the gravy on top!

    I've really had to struggle the past few days to stay under my calorie limit. I wrote the word "courage" on my hand where I would see it often. It's silly, but it has really helped me get through a difficult day today.

    Last night I REALLY wanted to snack beyond my limit. I drank water and finished watching a movie. I feel like I accomplished a lot, just by toughing it out.

    If I could do it last night, I'm know I can do it tonight too.

    J4T Wed 13/01

    I have a group therapy thing today, 2nd week and I am so nervous. I totally binged after it last week so need to try not to do that today.
    1. Plan todays food and stick to my calorie allowance
    2. Go for a walk after the group and see if I can walk off the anxiety rather than eating it.
    3. Work tonight after my dinner so I can make up my hours for work (lucky to work from home when I need to)
    4. Be nice to myself and try to enjoy the session and speak to other people that are there.

    sorry bit deep but that's my day and I have stuck close to my calorie goals for the past two days by doing this. First time in months :) x

    Ahhhh! There's the rest of you! My daughter Jazi said, "Well, if your gonna be awesome, you should wear awesome shoes!"

    When I was 220lbs, (not that long ago) awesome shoes were a bit of a pipe dream. Not anymore, (though 6" killer heels are still out, :lol: )

    1) NOT exercise and be ok with it. It's a balance and today work and family win out.
    2) Remember to eat veggies I cut on Sunday.
