    Hi! New to the thread, having a hard time staying motivated (even though I'm getting married in 4 months!), and being around food all day (restaurant manager) is tough :s . I want to lose 25 lbs and am going to take this one day at a time!

    Goals for today:
    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to calorie goal
    - Walk 20,000 steps
    - Drink only water and black coffee

    Thanks! Have a great day!

    You're off to a great start! Welcome.

    Hi All - I love this theme! "Just for Today" or "One Day at a Time" is a very wise concept to me. I have stayed clean and sober for 22 years one day at a time!

    Just for today (already late so I'll just add what I'd like to complete the rest of the day):
    2nd meditation
    meeting
    remember to take night time meds and vitamins
    Oh, PICK UP my meds!
    Walk and hoop at least 25 minutes
    Stay under my calorie goal

    May 14 - Did 1, 2 and 4. Forgot to do the hand weights and ate more than I've eaten for months. Don't know why. I'll take it easy on the food today.

    Cut grass if it doesn't rain
    Wear more clothes

    It's become chilly here, after a few hot days. I needed an extra layer of clothing yesterday, but didn't put one on. That might be why I ate more than I intended to, hence number 7.
