1. Make healthy food choices and journal every bite Did really good until about 8:00...my evening snack time. Freshly made Rice Krispie treats sitting on the counter that my husband made for our granddaughter and I couldn't resist anymore. Had two of them. Dang it!
2. Teach my morning class with a smile and be grateful for my job, not crabby because it is Monday and I'm tired! My class went off without a hitch and I got really good reviews on the post-class survey the students do. Made my day!
3. Hydrate with water! Not so good. Try harder. Daily struggle since I don't much like water.
4. Activity today either by walking, biking or at the gym Does grocery shopping count? sigh
5. Meal plan for the week when I get home tonight
Well, I did plan for today's breakfast and lunch so kinda...

I've noticed in my reports that while my calories are (generally) okay, my fat intake is often crazy high! So - for today:
- Limit the amount of fat I am eating (step away from the peanut butter!)
- Take the kids for a walk/run after I get home from volunteer thing at 7
- Do push ups and ab work - even a little will help at this point
- Pack gym clothing for tomorrow's lunch spin class
- Lights out at 9:45
To paraphrase Yoda (we just watched Star Wars with the kids for the first time) Do not try. DO!

I stayed on track within my personal goals today 3

NOT a good day yesterday - had a free lunch which threw me a bit because I hadn't planned for it. Then in the evening - perhaps because the day had already 'gone wrong' I ended up eating the crisps I bought yesterday because 'when they're done they're done'. Two lessons to learn from this:
- I have to be prepared for unexpected food surprises and not automatically give up when (or after) being confronted by them
- If I end up with fattening food in the house, I shouldn't just eat it to 'get it out of the way' but should hide it and save it (or let boyfriend eat it!)
Yesterday's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- No alcohol Alcohol was accompanied by gin so need to have another no booze day instead
- No unhealthy snacks
- Stay within calories
- Have a 30+ minute lunch break - go for a walk if not raining Lunchtime meeting prevented this
- Exercise class after work
- Plan when to do stress course homework haven't really planned properly, but have put a reminder in calendar for Sat a.m.
Today's commitments - going to a friend's for dinner:
- Log everything I eat AT THE TIME
- No unhealthy snacks
- do not let / encourage friend to make massive portions
- take fruit to eat for pudding
- drink a sugar-free drink for every alcoholic drink
- Have a 30+ minute lunch break - go outside
- Exercise class after work

J4T, Tuesday 9/27
1. Stick to healthy choices and journal it Well, I journaled and was MOSTLY healthy.
2. Hydrate, water, water, water
HUGE failure.
3. Get one of my side projects done at work so I feel like I accomplished something! Had to put out fires in the office all day so didn't get this done...unavoidable.
4. Go to the gym tonight and ride stationary bike. Bad ankle and knee are no excuse not to find a form of exercise! Does taking your 17 yo granddaughter to the mall shopping count?
5. Pack tomorrow's lunch TONIGHT
6. Take Kendra shopping for Senior pictures outfits
7. Bring a smile to someone's face today

2. Journal

JFT, 28/9/2016
1. Stay hydrated.
2. Stay under calorie goal.
3. Go for a walk.
4. No added sugars.1 -
I know what I'm supposed to do. Just do it for one day. Just once. Tomorrow is another day and we'll deal with it then. For right now, however, do what you're supposed to.2
-
Yesterday was so, so.
Went over calories but got control in the evening.
Didn't drink all the water0 -
I like what @raptor2763 wrote ---- DO what I know I am suppose to do. So simple, yet so true.
SO JFT
1. drink water!!!!!!
2. log all food
3. get out and walk, or go to the gym
4. DO WHAT I AM SUPPOSE TO DO
Another nite of not getting to sleep until 3am, so I am exhausted. Worrying about my daughter, too much to do, leads to unhealthy eating. I had bought some ice cream sandwich bars because they were on sale. I know not to do this, because I eat them until they are gone. It is just not worth buying them.
I want to try and make a challenge to you all about water. I know I for one struggle with drinking enough water. Would anyone like to join me, in challenging ourselves to drink at least 6 glasses of water a day, and posting it here?
I know water helps us to lose weight, keeps us hydrated, and makes us feel better. So anyone want to join me in this challenge?
Tomorrow I will post how many glasses of water I drank - love to challenge each of you that struggle with water. Also, those of you who are able to drink water - what helps you in this?

great job! One day at a time!0 -
Just for today:
1. Push through the leftover soreness and crush power leg day
2. Meet all protein and calorie goals guiltlessly - it's bulking season, it's okay to refeed your body
3. Make time for family. Even if it means cutting sets down to 3 instead of 4.
Just for tomorrow:
1. Hit the gym early and smash 25-minutes of cardio, plus abs and arms
2. Clean the house without being a crazy person even though you're gonna be exhausted after that 5AM wake-up call (plus commute and work)1 -
@joan6630 I usually don't have a problem getting my water in, but the BF does. Here are somethings that can help:
Large container with the total amount of water you want to drink in it. (then you can see how much you have to drink.)
Buy flavoring for the water, such as Mio, Crystal light, or other flavoring.
Get a water bottle with an infuser in it, add fruit for a light flavoring.
Consider other options for hydrating, such as a decaf (Or caffeinated) tea.
Drink water at the same time everyday, making it a habit. As soon as you get up drink a glass of water, before you work out drink two glasses, drink another one when you are finished, on your way to work drink a glass, break time drink a glass, lunch drink two. You do this enough it will be a habit, and certain actions will trigger you to drink.
Hope you guys find this helpful.1 -

Thank you! I will try that. I like the idea of making it a habit!1 -
My first time posting in this thread! I LOVE this concept- it's what I've been following for the 5.5 weeks and I've lost 12.7lbs.
That being said, my goals for today are:
-1 gallon of water (I'm 3/4 of the way there!)
-Keep both breakfast and lunch smaller so I can enjoy a salad and a drink out with a close family member tonight (looking good! almost 1000 calories left going into late afternoon)
-Get to bed before midnight (we'll see how that goes... I'm a terrible bedtime person)1 -
Today : 1. Do not eat not a single redvine on coworkers desk. 2. No alcohol tonight. 3. Pack gym bag for tomorrow am workout. If I accomplish #2, then #3 is easy. Hardest - Tomorrow : get up at 4 am and actually go to the gym.1

Another day on track within my personal goals 0
