    I'm in, Joan! I didn't know you were the one who started this thread! I LOVE it. It is the only thread that I find time to be faithful to. I will start on the fresh one with you. Thanks for starting it!

    I have many new goals this year. Spent most of my day thinking about them today. That's why I love, love, love keeping track of Just For Today! One day at a time is doable...doesn't seem so huge and overwhelming.

    Just for Today (Monday, 1/2/17):
    1. Wake up early and GET UP
    2. Eat only foods allowed on my plan and journal every bite
    2. Stop drinking coffee by 10:00 am and switch to water. HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!
    3. 30 minutes of activity
    4. Meal Plan for the week and post on fridge
    5. Budget for 2017 with new goals in mind
    6. Read or sew for a little bit today
    7. Prepare for Tuesday's work day, on Monday tonight.
    8. Bedtime one hour early, unplug, read and journal
    9. One random act of kindness

    Happy New Year! We CAN do this!

    January Goal:
    • Be able to buy one size smaller jeans...I'm sooo close!
    • Try at least one new low carb recipe every week. (Did this today, so I'm good for this week. High protein, low carb vanilla "pancakes". YUM!)

    Spent Saturday and Sunday helping friends set up for a huge New Year's salsa event. I danced my feet off, had a splendid time and did not track anything. :) Then we had to clean up and move a ton of stuff afterwards. Uff!

    Monday:
    1. under 100G carbs
    2. swim a mile (because there is NO way that I can dance at all today)
    3. ten pushups
    4. 60 situps
    5. food prep
    6. plan and track exercise for the week
    7. 10+ cups water

    Yesterday, 1/1
    1. log all food - no matter what I eat. Be accountable. :):/ I logged ALL my food - even the apple pie. A neighbor brought it over, and unfortunately I ate some. But ..... I logged it all!
    2. Drink water. Shoot for 6 glasses of water, just for today. :/ My biggest struggle.
    3. Exercise. If only 30 minutes, do something! :) Already accomplished this at the gym this morning :)
    4. Get back on here tomorrow, to let you guys know how I did. :)

    Monday, 1/2
    I did OK yesterday, except for apple pie :/ / But I am proud of myself in the fact that I only had 1 piece, and, I logged it. Eating healthy is a lifestyle that I want to change, and the biggest thing, is to get right back on track.

    so JFT, 1/2
    1. Exercise at least 30 minutes. :) Did this already! Trying to make this a daily habit.
    2. drink water - 2 glasses with each meal.
    3. log ALL food
    4. get back on here tomorrow
    5. lay out clothes for working out tomorrow morning.

    This thread is still active, but I did start a new one for the new year. So hope you will join me there!

    Happy New Year everyone!

    Festive season has been a total nightmare in terms of dieting, put lots of weight back on :-( However on the upside, did not put ALL the weight back on and with any luck it will fall off quickly if I get back to eating normally!

    Hoping that my colleagues will bring in fewer chocolates etc now it's January but I wouldn't bet on it.. will need willpower!

    Today's commitments -
    - Log everything I eat
    - No unhealthy snacks
    - Stay within calories

    -30+ minute lunch break
    - Don't procrastinate even though feeling lazy on first day back. Do easy tasks rather than no tasks!
    - listen to music to boost mood

    Hope January is good for everyone!

    @slittlemeister -- I started a new thread for the new year. I hope you will join us there? This thread was getting so big, and with it being a new year, and a fresh start, I thought maybe a new thread would be good. So I hope to see you there.

    I also had a hard time over the holidays, but determined to get back in shape. And I'm hoping your colleagues don't bring in all that chocolate - would be hard for anyone to resist!

    I can say that this week hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I have had a few times where I was tempted but God was with me. I am participating in a church fast, it is getting easier with the Lord's help.

    Tomorrow's commitment
    1. Continue to leave something on my plate.
    2. Drink 48oz of water.

    I walked for an hour today. I didn't leave anything on my plate but I didn't eat as much. I am going to give it another try tomorrow.

    Just for today.. I will not drink the Baileys. I didn't like it. Was given some at Christmas, tried it in milk, then hot chocolate. I have been driving king one day h day whilst I do dinner. Yesterday I had one early and one late. I eat too much to keep drinking these calories!

    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!

    To bookmark this new thread, just click on the little yellow star. That book marks it, so you can find it easy. When you go to post again, to the right at the top of your page is a bell, a star, and a little flower. Click on the star, and it will show your book marked threads.

    Anyone can join!

    Go get it. Everyone needs a boost. Mine came from how lousey I was feeling. Everyday I practiced my "Tailored for me plan" I felt like I was successfully on my way to my very last weight struggle. Excited about my effortless 8 lb loss due to a simple process that worked for me. Implementing do's and don't that are easy for me to follow; made me believe that weight control IS possible.

    Finally back & it has been months since I've posted.
    Today

    I'm tracking.
    Eating 90 grams of protein.
    Already worked out.
    Drinking 64 oz of water.
    Early to bed.

    Have a great afternoon all.

    Weighed myself this am.
    Gym again today.
    15 mins on elliptical.
    Weights & some floor exercises.
    Catching up on my fave podcast Half Size Me for some support.
    Tracked most of my food choices for the day so that takes the guess work out & allows me to make better choices.
    Throwing out some Easter chocolate. I just can't have it in the house right now.
    Remind myself "there is no quick fix".

    I'm going to try hard to get to bed earlier. It'll definitely help with my overall health.

    Great day to all!
