JUST FOR TODAY -- One Day at a Time .... Daily commitment thread for 2019

Good Morning Beauties! I hope you are all having a great weekend. Indulged the last few days so today is back on the health wagon. 6 more days of my apple watch contest and my goal is to hit 100 points every day.

Really enjoyed my kid free time the last few days but happy to go pick up the kiddo's today and have some family time today. Hope everyone is practicing self care this weekend in whatever form you need. I really needed to just be me for a little while and yesterday did get to accomplish that! I also got in an amazing workout and am pumped to do it again today. Walk/run five miles (goal) and 30 minutes of yoga. Stretching after the run too. Exercise really does make you feel happier! I used to hate when people would say that but sometimes the things we react strongly to are the things we most need to hear. That's my wisdom for the day.

Yesterday devolved into a cheat day (as usual it was Saturday) . The family gathered at a cute coffee shop near the Mormon Temple (tour was interesting and very crowded) for breakfast, since I'd already had breakfast I was hoping it would be my lunch. Not! I ended up having lunch and then snacking throughout the day including after dinner. Oh well, it's just one day.

This morning I've spent some time revisiting what is motivating me and what my health goals are. My longtime goal (which I haven't met) is to be in the normal range of BMI (currently 27 BMI). My very short term goal is to rehab and get full range of motion on my knee and my 5 month goal is to participate in a tennis tournament in Tucson in November (my team has won or gotten into the finals four times). Other vaguer goals are to be healthy - my blood pressure is in the pre-high range and I know that 10-15 lbs would help get that number down. I know that to reach these goals it's an everyday, consistent effort and that is why this support thread (community) of Just For Today is powerful.

So my health goals are normal BMI and blood pressure, what is motivating me is to participate in the sport I love. The steps I will take are to focus on whole foods (eggs, lean meat, vegetables and fruits), keep my calories between 1500-1700 calories a day and actively exercise to strengthen my body and cardio health.

Pretrack to 1500 calories
Do my Range of motion exercises X2

No snacking or wine after dinner - this goal is the key

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I was MIA for a few days and now I am finally done catching up with all posts.

I want to hug so many of you and tell you that everything is gonna be ok! I don't know if you are aware of it, but you are such strong women, I am amazed every day!
Almost everyone here has some huge real-life challenge to overcome that most people would just give up or postpone any fitness/weight goals, but you come here, show up, do what needs to be done, if you fail someday, you just keep getting up, keep finding solutions, new approaches, new motivations. Some days you make big steps, some days you make tiny steps, but you keep going.
I know that you will succeed in your goals because you do not wait for a perfect life, for ideal circumstances, for care - free periods...I just think it has such a huge value.
