    First time logging in after a long absence.

    Just for today I'm committing myself to logging all my meals, and to throw away all the unnecessary snack foods I have hidden around the house.

    Except the poptarts. Those are next to the low cal cereal bars to remind me why I'm losing weight.

    This is a continuation of a thread I started a thread late October, and another one in January and February, to try to stay on track, "JUST FOR A DAY".

    We have had over 500 replies each month, so I am going to restart this each month. This has helped me tremendously, to start each day new. It has kept me going, and to keep on trying, one day at a time. And, I've met some wonderful friends along the way! Reading others goals for just one day has given me so much inspiration and goals to set for myself.

    If I can do this for JUST ONE DAY, well, maybe that one day will lead to another day, an entire week, an entire month, and this will help me to develop better habits for my life, taking this one day at a time.

    So each day I am going to post what I would like to accomplish. While I post my "Just for today" list, I am also going to post how I did the day before, so I am accountable to you guys as well.

    Would anyone like to join me!! I am always so encouraged reading others goals, and together, we can all reach our goals for 2015 and beyond. I hope to keep doing this, starting a new thread each month.

    March is a new month, a fresh start!

    I did really well on calories today, which is unusual for me on days when I have all my kids over for dinner. I had to make a swap so I could have a shot of Fireball Whiskey. Yummy! And I was good, I had Think Thin Protein Bites instead of homemade cheese cake!

    Be inspired and motivated by all your posts on here. Keep reading them each day because I want to see results in my weight loss journey and because you are also on the same journey - We can all achieve success with support from each other on here.
    Log all food before eating it or pre-log meals for the day to stay within calories.
    Drink Water. - I sometimes forget to do this because I love tea.
    Move more even if it is just doing chores, stand up to do things rather than just sitting down.
    Use my cross trainer every day, not just when I feel like it.
    Plan time for activities, don't let the minutes in the day pass by without doing something that will make me feel happier, healthier and fitter.
    Thank you to everyone on here just for being there and sharing you JFT goals.
