    Today I plan to log everything I eat, drink 1/2 by body weight in oz (this one is REALLY hard) and limit my sugar intake. Good luck to everyone else in achieving your goals today!

    JFT for tomorrow - guests are coming over for dinner. It is VERY hard for me to stay within my goals when I'm cooking for others. I eat when I'm nervous so HELLO, entertaining makes me nervous.

    - snack on carrots while cooking
    - use whitening strips to keep me from munching...that will work for half an hour anyway
    - I'll time myself for each kitchen task Top Chef style so I can focus on the task at hand

    Any other suggestions?

    J4T I did it yesterday and plan to do it again:

    Park way back where no cars park whenever I go. That forces me to walk more and also nobody scratch my car. Win-win situation !

    Cheers

    So off track again, and get so frustrated with myself.
    JFT goals
    1. practice self control --- wait 10 minutes before eating when I think I am hungry
    2. do not eat when emotional. Going through a lot right now with our daughter. Eating will not help anything, and only make me feel worse about myself.
    3. drink water. I think this is part why I feel hungry -- it is thirst, not hunger
    4. try and stay positive. things could be worse. Count my many blessings.
    5. get outside and enjoy the sun
