    Happy to report that I stuck to my JFT goals yesterday! I'd like to make Mondays weigh-in days for me, and this morning the scale was down 2 lbs - so proud!

    JFT, Mon 18 Jan 2016
    1. I will log everything I put in my mouth
    2. I will have tea prior to meals because I don't really know if it's hunger or just a craving, then I'll wait and see if I'm still hungry before I eat.
    3. Meet my calorie goals, and once met, STOP... drink water, realize that I need to learn my limits!
    4. Gym workout after work today (MUST!)
    5. Remind myself that it's just a one day goal to accomplish today

    Just for today I'm going to make an effort to spend time away from the computer and being intentionally more fun/active with my babies. Maybe make up some active games we can play in the house

    My goal today is to stick to my calorie range and record the food I eat. Also to do an hour of exercise. Also to remember my reasons for sticking to weight loss: get to a weight I feel sexy at.

    Just for Today Jan 15/16
    1. 75 oz water
    2. Track everything
    4. Do not let my first 10% goal reached AND the fact that it's Friday AND I'm sick... Dictate my choices today. Think before eating. Remember my goals. This is only 10% achieved - still 90% to go!!
    5. If I am going to indulge, plan for it and balance it throughout the day with awesome choices!
    6. Remember: Being sick is not an excuse to binge. It means I need to take BETTER care of myself than usual.

    Just for Today Jan 18/16
    1. 75 oz water
    2. Track everything
    3. Drink lots of tea
    4. Stay on track today even if I'm sick. Remember to eat even if I don't feel like it. Take care of myself rather than indulge and throw in the towel.

    Here's my commitment, just for today:
    1 Weigh myself - my goal is to do this every Monday, and last month i consistently "forgot".
    2. Record everything I consume in MFP.
    3. 60min of strength training.
    4. Do not drink any diet soft drinks; I'm trying some iced tea party made myself instead.
    5. Appreciate and reflect on Dr. King's work and wisdom.

    Big ups to greeneyes998 for cool goals and remembering Dr MLK!!

    One goal for today. GO. FOR. A. JOG! Or even a walk. Motivating myself after work is near impossible, so I'll be happy if I can get this one under my belt (and hopefully make a routine of it).

    Drink herbal tea instead--I make mine up in quart jars ahead of time. Sometimes I drink it cold, sometimes warm, sometimes room temperature.

    How in the world are you getting 31,000 steps in a single day? I've been close to that a couple of times, but it takes an extraordinary amount of effort...

    If you are doing this on an injury, you won't be walking tomorrow.

    I fill a litre jug with water in the morning and keep it and a glass beside my kettle. I drink water while I wait for the kettle to boil, refilling the glass each time I empty it. A glass before meals is also a good idea. If you empty the jug, refill it.

    Also remember that if you make tea or coffee you are using water.

    My doctor says that if your pee is a pale yellow colour, you are getting enough water.

    Thank you for the suggestion, I do like fennel, spearmint and peppermint tea.

    Thank you Terri, I thought you had to drink water on top of drinking tea or coffee.

    JFT

    Try both of these suggestions.

    I'm awake 7am-10pm. I take my target # of ounces (90) and divide by 6 (basically a pint) Then drink that amount between 8-10am, 10-12, 12-2, 2-4, 4-6, 6-8pm. The afternoon hours are harder but I chug it down. After a while my body got used to it so I'm not peeing all night.

    I also use an app called waterlogged. You pick a container and goal. As you log the water the container fills up. It is silly but I like it.
