    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

    4. Get in 10,000 steps in between everything else
