JUST FOR TODAY ....... One day at a time ..... Daily Commitment Thread for 2018

Just had to jump on here at a moment's notice...I got a thoughtful gift from my husband last night of my favorite cookies. They are called nutty bars by little Debbie. A serving size is 310 calories for 2 cookies and I'm ok with that if I can fit them into my calorie daily goal. The problem is I already kind of binged on them last night and today. There are four cookies left and I want to save them for tomorrow or if I can tomorrow and the day after. Just had to put this out there so I can quote my own words and reply if necessary when I'm tempted to finish them off too soon.

Nutty Bars are just the wow, aren't they?! Great that you put it out here---HGSmith and I have done the same with pizza (limiting ourselves to two pieces). Sometimes what helps me is to acknowledge that I'm not saying I can't have the cookies. I am saying there is a better time for me to eat them...like tomorrow when I can prelog them into MFP.

Don't touch those Nutty Bars!!!

Posting here to distract from eating.
*sigh*
Really want to munch munch munch and not even on anything particular, I just want *something*

Not going to through, only have 30 cals left.
But on the upside I’m still in the green

I might go to bed actually, have some water before I go.

Nighty all ! Posting goals in morning x

Yesterday's JFT:
Stay in the green. (1500 calories)✔
Do calisthenics. (20 minutes)✔
Go to dance class. (24 minutes)✔
Do running workout. (15 minutes)✔
Post here when I feel like emotionally eating...😉 didn't do this yesterday but I did do it today and it helped a lot.
Its almost dinner and haven't posted today's JFT but I'll use the same ones from yesterday.

I am over my calories already today, but I enjoyed a very nice lunch with a friend. I am having steak and a salad for supper and as long the black clouds keep rolling along I'll be able to get a walk in to negate the damage. Tomorrow we will be doing a lot outside depending on those black clouds so the week should end up being ok

Don't touch those Nutty Bars!!!

I'm trying so hard to not touch them!!! I want to save them for tomorrow.

LOL I have to keep repeating to myself over and over "I'm not going to touch them I'm saving my nutty bars for tomorrow." Honestly if I really think about why I want to eat them so terribly, it's because I'm emotionally eating, I'm not hungry I'm lonely and bored. I'm going to drink some water and get some fresh air! And hopefully this is the last time I have to post something to distract myself for today.

JFT - Friday June 22
2L of Water -
Stay in Green -
Outside 15 Minutes -
Walk tonight -
Attend some more businesses to drop off business cards and brochures - No, but it's because I got called back to the office as a client wanted to order service so I won't count it as a failure.
Have lunch with a friend and be mindful of choices - Well it was a pizza place so I made a fairly good choice, it was still too much when I allowed hubby to choose supper LOL

JFT - Saturday June 23
2L of Water
Stay in Green
Outside 15 Minutes
If gardening doesn't burn enough calories go for a walk

I am posting tonight as I'm sure hubby will be raring and ready for me to start working as soon as I wake up in the morning. It messed me up all weekend and Monday last week because I wasn't able to post goals properly. The sky is very eerie looking tonight, there are no tornado watches or warning though so I'll still head to bed.

Everyone is doing so well avoiding the temptations. I really need to get better at this. When supper was done I was over 600 calories in the red. I took my walk and managed to get it back down, but then ate again It had nothing to do with emotions, or hunger. I just wanted the tastes of my evening snack so I guess it's a habit I'm going to have to break. I have refrained from Coke for two days though so that's a win.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow in case I don't get on here in the morning.

Happy Saturday! Let's be intentional; Let's focus; Let's meet our JFT goals!

I’m in the same boat, totally c*cked up and asked everyone here for help!
Maybe we can start again together, so far I’ve done okay (day 2) but it trails off quick and that’s where I need to be kept on track

We can do this! We’ll never be where we want to if we don’t try!

I will try please connect so we can do this together. I’ve been logging but I either do not eat enough or I eat the wrong things.

You need to give me you want to exercise.

@AJB1014 great win. I miss working with DH we did for 26 years and then things changed and we moved now have separate type jobs I miss my best friend. As I think about that it could be a factor

@Lindsaykathryn would love to be your friend- inspirational quotes are what I need

@monstersweetsbyallison good luck you can do this what a great goal

@Snowflake1968 we could try to eat slower as a group and see how we can inspire each other

My usual

Did ok yesterday..got to bed later .
JFT QUICK
#Read Beck "diet" for inspiration and concrete steps
#Log food right after eating.
#Kitchen closed 7:30
#Oral hygiene by 7:30 w FL script toothpaste
#Quick yoga breaks and water breaks
#Stand up and walk around at least once an hour.. just walk back and forth if nothing else

#Bed by 10

Have a good day...we are worth the effort 😸☕

@Bex953172 great success posting here and more water. What is you cal goal

Thanks, my cal goal is 1200.
Although I tend to eat (on average) around 1400-1500 and exercise off the rest

What’s yours?


My diary is always open so feel free to take a look to see what sort of things I eat if that helps?
What would you say your worst foods are? Mines definitely chocolate and things like potato and bread. And I’ve written a list and a list of alternatives on the other side. So when I feel like one of them I have one of my alternatives.

Also, what sort of exercises do you like doing? And where do you do them? Gym, outside, home?


I’ve found, the best chance of success is to evaluate what it is your problems are. Specifically.
And then you can work on the things that are holding you back.
Everyone’s journey on here is different, we’re all just working towards the same goal

For example for some people on here, drinking enough water is just second nature, but for me I HAVE to make myself drink it.

You can do it, and we can help
But you’ve got to also want to do it, we can’t lose the weight for you unfortunately!
But we can certainly give you a kick up the butt to get you going!
It’s all about forming a habit.


Oh and doing something like exercising on the day you REALLY don’t want to, actually gives you a greater sense of achievement and makes you feel even better!!

Mmmmmmm

Beautiful colors!

I overdid it today volunteering at the thrift store and am now feeling it in my ankle. Instead of knocking out the apartment cleaning, I'm sitting with it elevated on a pillow like an invalid while I wait for the swelling and pain to subside. Gah. So frustrating.

Ouch, you got any ice on it?
Definitely more important to rest it!

Also, is a thrift store the same as a UK charity shop?
