    So glad to get back to JFT!! Miss you all!

    Drink 9 cups of water
    Walk 45 mins
    Talk myself into going to gym -either yoga or weights.
    Pretrack as much as possible.
    Plan dinners for next 4 nights.
    Clean out some clutter in home.
    Call a good friend & my mom.
    Keep listening to podcast "Tips from the scale".
    Early to bed-9:30

    I have to set smaller goals. 40 lbs is overwhelming. I'm going to try for 5 lb increments.

    Glad to see you back. I am like you - thinking of the 40+ lbs I need to lose is overwhelming. So its one day at a time, 5 lb increments!

    Thursday:
    1. 12,000 steps :neutral: 10,356
    2. gym workout, light on weights (sore shoulder) :(
    3. ~75G carbs :)
    4. 8 freggies :neutral: skipped dinner...think I had 5-6, depending on how you count

    Decided that I needed to rest more than I needed to work out, since I did not sleep Wednesday night. Did get in quite a bit of walking though, so the day was not a total wash! Still tired and I have huge blisters on my feet, so not sure how far I will get on...

    Friday:
    1. 10,000 steps
    2. gym workout
    3. ~75G carbs

    Yesterday I gave in to my chocolate cravings and went over my calories.
    Today after breakfast I'm going to the gym and running two miles and will stay under my calorie goals.

    I will strive to eat ALL of my calories in the hopes of slowing my weight loss to a sustainable rate. At least for today.

    Another birthday!! I'm grateful to be here & healthy. Birthdays have been a time for me to reflect ever since my midthirties.

    Drink water-9 cups.
    Tracking starts out good but by midday, I'm not doing it. I'll try to track as much as possible in advance since this has been successful in the past.
    Had to cut my gym workout short today SO, I will do 40 bent knee push-ups & 60 side leg lifts at home.
    Go on short walk with daughter.
    Found some great progress articles so I hope to read a few tonight.
    Celebrating with dinner tomorrow night. Will be sure to order lots of vegetables!!
    Reflect on goals.
