    /// EVENING RECAP ///
    Just for today - JANUARY 20, 2016.
    1. Log everything I put into my mouth :)
    2. Drink tea or water before eating meals, to make sure that I'm truly hungry and not just craving food just because I'm bored or can't think of anything else to keep me occupied. :)
    3. Meet my calorie goals, and once met, STOP... drink water, realize that I need to learn my limits! :)
    4. Go to the gym afterwork to do some walking on the treadmill as part of an active restorative day (optional) TOO TIRED!
    5. Sugar legs (today is the day!)... MAYBE THIS WEEKEND!

    Didn't plan for dinner, so ended up picking up subway and guess what? it eat up most of my calories and now I'm still hungry, so early night for me with huge cups of tea! ... tomorrow, I will plan better!

    Print off my chart for tracking my stats so I can make a start on making a diary of these ( I can do this on this site, but I like to 'write things down') :-)
    Have nutrition for tea!
    Make a smoothie / juice for work tomorrow.
    I like to write things down, too. I love to see the words flow onto the page! :)

    JFT Thursday 1/21
    1. Log everything (EVERYTHING)
    2. DRINK WATER
    3. Workout seriously at the gym
    4. Remember that I weigh tomorrow, so I probably should not indulge on sodium!

    I think I did pretty well on the goals yesterday. I could drink more water, and I could log more accurately if I didn't graze off the childrens plates before scraping them into the trash, I will work on that.

    Friday Jan 22
    1. No grazing
    2. drink more water
    3. try to workout a little at home, but if the children just won't allow it, let it be
    4. I will make a list of everything tha tneeds doing any really focus on getting it done

    So I did plan to go out to dinner with my husband and left most of my calories for that, but I had also anticipated to put in a good workout... which didn't happen because I had to stay 2 hours later at work and was exhausted by the time dinner came around... AND HE ORDERS CHIPS AND CHESO DIP!!!! *SIGH*... So, I went over my calories!!!... then I remembered I could simply stop feeling so terrible about myself and do something about it, so I waited a bit and then got on the stationary bike for an hour and worked it out! SUCCESS!

    Goodnight!
