Today was my first day tracking, and although I preplanned my food for the day, I didn't QUITE stay on track. I'm trying to get in 5 servings of fruits/veggies, and I only had 2 today. And I only got 4 out of my 8 glasses of water.

But today is better than yesterday. It's a start.

And even though I want to go snack on whatever's in the kitchen, I won't. Instead, I'll plan my meals for tomorrow. Go me!

    Way to go for your first day! If you keep thinking positively like that, you will make it! And I'm glad you know that a few mistakes doesn't mean the whole day is out the window. :smile:

    Good job. Be proud that you are on the right track even if you sometimes have a hard time staying on it. I find that when I'm thinking a lot about food I don't need to be eating, I am usually bored with what I'm doing, so I get up and do 10 or 20 jumping jacks or a few crunches... two birds with one stone and all...

    So YAYYYY you! You started!:flowerforyou:

    Thanks everybody. I appreciate the support and feedback!

    Lulubar - You are totally correct. I'm SO bored doing work at my desk at home. This is a lovely distraction!
