    My maternal grandfather is very, very ill and in the hospital. Since my dad's a deadbeat alcoholic my grandfather has really stepped into his role over the last 10 years or so. I was so upset/crying/not sleeping last night and this morning that I decided to get one of those 450 cal apple pies from the vending machine at work.

    With my finger over the button I stopped and got some sugar free gum instead.

    I remembered that I had brought an apple as a snack, and that my grandfather would not want me to respond to his situation by clogging my own arteries with saturated fat.

    Just for today, I will enjoy the hell out of my apple.

    So sorry to hear about your grandfather. Well done for making good choices despite a stressful situation!!

    @mychelenc: That attitude is the one you need to be successful long-term.

    JFT 03/08
    1) Try and get in 4+ glasses of water 4 glasses, maybe slightly more (one of the glasses I used was likely 12 oz but I went on the conservative side to be safe) I think it helped somewhat with the late night snacks. Only 1 cookie and some pretzels.
    2) Run tonight...4 miles plus strides :(

    JFT 03/09
    1) Minimum 5 glasses of water
    2) Do yesterday’s run tonight instead of the rest day

    This is a great idea to help motivate not just me. But all of us! This would've been great for me to have found 6 months ago!

    Had flu for a week and my lifestyle changes went to hades. Caught myself dishing out huge portions.

    Just for today:
    1) stick to my limit

    2) walk to work and try and get my 10k steps in. (Although there's a rapist on the loose in town and women are being advised not to walk alone at night so I'll play this by ear).

    3) not beat myself up.
