    I just can't seem to keep it together right now in terms of motivation during the day. I've travelled a lot this week which always throws off my step count and usually my eating too. I feel like I need a 12-step recovery program right now just for food! HA! (Geez-maybe there IS some truth to that.) Right now I'm going to try to eat like I know I should (and have for a year!!!) just today. One day at a time. #JustSayNO!

    Today's Goals:
    1. Do not sabotage myself with food choices.
    2. I got a new Appalachian Trail water bottle that holds 32 ounces yesterday. LOVE IT! Drink 2.5 of them. My heart longs for the trail (I'd take any trail at this point), but all the family drama in my life keeps getting in the way.
    3. Get in more steps at work.
    4. If I don't have to go to my ailing mother's house after work, DO SOME exercise.
    5. No alcohol (which is the only thing I've really been consistent with this year, and I haven't missed it at all, but if you make up for it with peanut butter, that doesn't really accomplish much, now does it? LOL)

    Sorry team. I know I'm supposed to be a "motivator" but right now, I just can't get it back in gear.

    No matter what role we have in this challenge or even in our everyday lives we all need a little more support and motivation from time to time. Laying out your goals like you have has motivated me this week - I drank all my water yesterday thanks to your list!

    I am so sorry your mom is still not doing well.

    You are right to take things one day at a time during a busy time like right now. And remember how far you have come and that you aren’t far off your maintenance weight. You’ve got this! Keep checking in and remember your goals.

    Sorry all, I know I’ve missed 2 check in’s. I’ve been a bit over on food and a bit under on steps but I did get 22,000 or so steps over the 2 days. I think I did too much on Tuesday and as a result I went over cals on Wednesday, then yesterday was a long day on stupid lack of sleep.
    Anyway, that’s my excuses out of the way. I was meant to be going out tonight & tomorrow but tonight’s been cancelled so that means I’ve a chance of sticking to my cals!!! Hurrah! Now tomorrow might be trickier but I’ll do my best.

    Are we all set to be strong this weekend? Track like MFP pros? 😊

    Hey we are all in this together! You are going through a rough patch and we are here for you. I appreciate you so much for taking time to motivate us. Sometimes there is just too much on your plate (no pun intended) and you need to take a breath and get back at it when the time is right. Hang in there and lean on us. Vent, complain do what you gotta do and remember....we have all been there in one way or another.

    Friday check in

    Calories - probably over because I ate out at lunch and dinner. But was proud of my dinner choice - veggie burger with only half the bun and no sauce with a side salad (dressings on the side). I met some friends for one drink which is why I’m probably over but I don’t care - needed to get out.
    Exercise - almost 11k steps
    Water: pretty good

    Goal for tomorrow:
    1. Run/walk treadmill workout
    2. Water, water and water
    3. Plan meals first thing in the morning and stick to it
