    I love some of the things I just read on here....especially not killing someone at work! Good job at sticking to THAT goal! LOL I've been absent for a few days so here goes...

    Just for Today/Thursday:
    1. Stick to my pre-logged foods
    2. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
    3. Finish first few chapters of "The 17 Day Diet Breakthrough Edition" and hopefully be ready to start this next Monday.
    4. Find an activity I like that doesn't stress out my ankle and get in 30 minutes of activity today
    5. Turn negatives into positives at work today and not let myself feel overwhelmed.
    6. Take time to smell the roses and just be grateful for another beautiful day...

    Hope everyone has a really great day today!

    Just for today, stay for my whole work day. Feeling really really sick but I only have a 4 day week this week and I need to stick it out.

    LOL this didn't work out. But when youre sick youre sick, what can you do. Back at work today and here are my goals:

    1. Only eat what I packed and logged. No extra snacks from the break room, because the only thing breaking Is my wallet.
    2. Go for my run today!

    I didn't go for my run. And I also got snacks. TOM is so hard.

    ANYWAYS today I will set an easy goal for myself. Go for a walk after work :)

    Now were getting somewhere! Walked to the store last night for food of course lol.

    JFT: Take one of the puppies for a long walk today.

    I didnt take the doggy but I went for a long walk myself today :) todays goal is to go buy stuff for a healthy dinner tomorrow.

    Bought my food! Yummy tomato soup :)

    JFT Make my yummy soup lol. Also NO BINGING. Days off are so hard.

    Check and check! Todays JFT: Run day!
