This is the water bottle I use bc it is leak proof. I can throw it in my backpack or purse and not worry. Plus it is condensation free

Thursday 1/4 (this will be a really busy day because of pool league)
1. Log all food and stay under calorie goal
2. Don't use pool league as an excuse to smoke, drink, or eat off-plan
(I smoked AND drank...a lot... and feel AWFUL about it)
3. Eat dinner at home before league so I have no "excuse" to order food at league
I didn't eat at home but I did make a relatively healthy choice for dinner at the bar
4. Put laundry away
5. Make an effort to talk to the new person at work (don't let anxiety get the best of you!)
Alcohol makes me make bad decisions...and apparently it's easier for me to not drink at all than stop at one or two.
JFT, Friday 1/5
* Log all food and stay under calorie goal
* No alcohol and no smoking
* Put laundry away
* Plan meals for next week
* Meeting

Thanks for this thread. It's very encouraging.
Yesterday was better than the day before, but today was better than yesterday. My goal is to better each day some way. Better mood, better health, better weight, because the best really is yet to come.
Happy New Year!4 -
So like I am afraid to get that waxing done - that or threading my eyebrows, Should I be concerned that they will change the shape of my brows. I don't want thin eyebrows.
This was my first time also getting my eyebrows waxed. It started with me just asking her to color my eyebrows when she colored my hair. She only charges $7.00, so I figured reshaping would be a good thing. Plus, I have so many fine, gray hairs now, that its hard to pluck them all. I love the look - and no, she did not make them thin. I told her was my concern also - I didn't want paperthin eyebrows. Felt good to be somewhat "pampered" yesterday!5 -
I'm sure you all have "heard" me say this before, but I've noticed that several people are setting goals to drink a certain amount of water daily. Even before I was pregnant, I have always kept a 24 ounce water bottle with me everywhere I go. My kids even know I have to have this by my side, bc when they see it is empty they always offer to refill it for me, Lol (I love those little guys
) That is why I do not set a "water goal" each day bc I easily drink 96 ounces a day (of just water). I'm not bragging, I'm just offering my story to try and help out. I think it is a convenience thing, since I always have my water bottle, it is the first drink I grab. Even though I drink propel, milk, tea (occasionally) and juice, I still drink 96 ounces of water. 
Thank you SO much for this suggestion! I struggle everyday with getting water in.... maybe if I get a nice bottle, and carry it with me everywhere, this will help!4 -

JFT:
challenges and eliptical done.4 -
Like these JFT threads!!
One day at a time - have to improve how long it take me to fall asleep at night ... way too long these days because I am stewing about work. Now that eating is back under control again - need to focus on relaxing and getting good sleeps.
G'night. 5 -
Haha I don’t want to go into labour!!
I’m really set on having a March baby lol! I like March.
The goals are helping, although they’re not food related, it’s keeping me focused otherwise I feel a bit lost in the day and stuck of what to do next!
March babies ROCK! (Yes....my birthday is in March. LOL!)

Well today was a bust.
Had my med test, and finally got to eat, and overdid it. Really in the red.
I did log my calories though.
How discouraging.
Tomorrow will be difficult as well, as school is closed due to weather, so I will need to work at home with my three kiddos around. That never goes well.
JFT 1/5
Log calories
Fast until noon
Drink 64 oz water
Get up early to get in as much work as possible before the kids wake up!
It's too cold here to go outside, so walk at the mall tomorrow evening, instead of my planned workout at work.
I think the fact that you logged all your calories is a win all by itself! I struggle being consistent with even that sometimes! Remember, it was just for today.

1/5 report
Log calories
Fast until noon
Drink 64 oz water I'm thinking it was around 24 oz.
Get up early to get in as much work as possible before the kids wake up! Woke up and started working at 8 am. Right when my daughter woke up.
It's too cold here to go outside, so walk at the mall tomorrow evening, instead of my planned workout at work actually got 10k steps between shoveling and going to the mall. But bought a few things for my daughter. Perils of exercising at the mall. Can't wait for it to get warm!
JFT Saturday
10k steps
Log calories
Stay green, which is hard on a weekend.
Eat more fruit.

Just for Thursday:
1. Journal every bite honestly. Don't leave out one single Hershey kiss. Don't worry about staying in the green at this point, just get in the habit of tracking EVERY single bite.
2. Increase water intake. At least eight 8 oz glasses
3. Activity tonight. Even if it is 15 minutes. Get some.
4. Rewrite my Advantages Resource index cards from Day 1 of Beck Diet Solution.
5. Look at menu online for Margarita's restaurant where our boss is taking us for lunch today and pick something healthy.
6. Take one hour of "me" time today to rejuvenate by doing something I enjoy and find relaxing.
Didn't have time to pop on and list goals for today, so I'll post what my plans were/are.
Just for Friday- Journal every bite honestly...down to the individual Hershey kiss.
- Try to take on more responsibilities at work and learn something new.
- Wake up without hitting snooze button.
- Be grateful for all the small blessings that I take for granted every day.
- One random act of kindness
- Try not to be mad at DH when he acts like an *kitten* hat.
- Relax when I get home tonight. Read, surf Pinterest, watch Netflix, whatever...just relax. Been really tired and just need to give my body the rest it needs today. (Plus, I think I'm fighting a cold!) so far, so good!
- Bed early so I get up tomorrow and get some stuff done!
Happy weekend everyone!3 - Journal every bite honestly...down to the individual Hershey kiss.

I didn't make it. However, I did a yoga video.6

JFT, Friday 1/5
1. log all food
2. water water water. HAVE to make this a habit. This is my #1 goal for this year -- turn drinking water into a habit!
3. eat only while sitting down
4. read my response cards 5x
5. get back on here tomorrow - be accountable
OK --- tomorrow I NEED to get this under control! I think because the weather is SO awfully cold, all I want to do is be lazy and eat. And hubby joins me ..... which makes it even harder.
I am SO looking forward to a break in the temps - I think sunday we are suppose to get close to 40 degrees!
My goals tomorrow will be simple until I can get this under control!
JFT, Saturday
1. log all food
2. be mindful of what I eat
3. look for and buy a new water bottle to see if that helps me in getting in my water! Thanks @MLHC1 for that suggestion!
4. work on menu plans for the week -- healthy, low calorie meals!
5. go to the gym. NO more excuses!!
Oh .... and hubby's stress test and echocardiogram turned out normal. SO I told him that means he is just out of shape! Do you think I can get him to go to the gym with me now! LOL!! He does go to the gym, but he only goes once a week, stays for 4 hours, and only lifts weights. At least the cardiologist did tell him that cardio exercise is also very important.... so we'll see if it makes a difference and he actually listens! But thank you guys for asking.KareninLux wrote: »Like these JFT threads!!

I have the same problem with sleeping at nite! My husband and I work out of our home, and I really need to focus on relaxing stuff before bedtime. Otherwise I lay in bed and think of all the things I need to get done .... and many times it is 2am before I finally go to sleep. But great job getting your eating under control ..... that alone is a great success!
THis is exactly what I need to do tomorrow morning!! IT is so hard to get out when it is less than 0 degrees outside!!! I am SO ready for spring!go to the gym after work, no matter how freezing cold it is!

Weekends are really hard for me...I'm worried.4

Weekends are really hard for me...I'm worried.
You can do it!! Think of how great you will fill on Monday! Just try to get through saturday .... just one day!
Having said that .... I totally understand. I find that if I don't plan and eat meals regularly, it leads to grazing all day long. So that is my plan for the weekend .... to sit down and actually eat a lunch instead of running all day grazing!
Let us know how you do!4 -

✔▪Laundry
❌▪Elliptical

❌▪Read ONE research article (5 total)
❌▪Dinner by 7 pm

Well today was unusual. I did not succeed on my JFT list but I did manage to get a lot done for my household. Every now and then my household needs me to sit down with my computer and manage everything! Calendars, appts, school schedules, emails, budgets, payments, etc, etc....Lol So is spent a good part of the day managing all of this. Hopefully tomorrow I can get on my elliptical and make reading my research article a priority!
Everyone have a blessed evening.
@joan6630 I'm happy that helped at least one person.
I hope it will work for you. Also, congrats on the good news with your hubby (I'm glad to hear his test was normal.) 3 -

Following this there were tube (subway!) issues which meant it took me ages to get home and additionally all the transport was overcrowded which made the journey stressful. As a result I really didn't feel like exercising when I got home.
HOWEVER despite all this I refrained from snacking/ over eating (and I did think about it on the way home) which I'm going to count as a win! Let's hope I can keep that up I'll do the exercise on Sunday instead.
Today's commitments were -
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks except Ryvita if hungry
- Be in the green (without eating back exercise kcals)
- Leave work by 5.30
- Do exercise DVD
Tomorrow's commitments are:
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks except Ryvita if hungry
- Be in the green (without eating back exercise kcals)
- Go to gym before starting work
- Go for walk at lunch (to maintain sanity!)
- Ration access to work emails in order to get some b&oody work done!!!
- Listen to music to boost mood
what is Ryvita?
It's a low calorie crisp bread that you can get in the UK. They're about 40 calories each and you can get them in several varieties e.g. sesame seeds.
They are not the tastiest things in the world but they're pretty effective at stemming hunger without eating too many calories!
