It’s so important to think about our long term goals and the actions we need to take to achieve them regularly. Very nice!1 -
I haven’t been successful at staying on a healthy eating plan for such a long time...I can’t really think too far ahead....i am still afraid of failing although I want to do this so badly....1

That has been my secret mental defense. Never spend too much time thinking about anything other than today. I will consider meal ideas for the near future but I really only look further ahead if I need to plan something and then I get back to today.0 -
My goal this last weekend was to hit 2 consecutive miles walking. I failed. The closest I got was 1.69 and not because I couldn't do more it is just that the puppy is still not great on the leash.
But I did it today so YAY for the world not ending on Sunday night!

Congratulations on walking two miles!....what kind of puppy do you have?...we have THE puppy from Hell....she is a 9 month old Pitsky...part pit and part husky....Willow should have been named Wicked!...I will have to share some “ Tails of Willow “ in another post.....
I try to plan my menu daily but it is always subject to change...I just can’t think about long term goals right now...I do good to make it thru each day....keeping my calories in check is my main goal and what I focus on....if I do this, the weight will go down, right?1 -

Oh yeah 9 months is when the devil takes over for a time. They reach that point where they are 85ish percent of full size, strong, and sexual maturity. That is when I got mine unfortunately and he had not been neutered. He is a a JRT/Border Collie mix and he has been a handful. I could not get him "fixed" fast enough and that did help. He is getting there but it is often still a battle of wills.0 -

The only goal I started with was to be healthier by my birthday in 2020. There was no weight goal attached. No thought of what any of it would mean. I found it easier. I had no specific expectations so no pressure. It also helped me be patient. I just moved from one day to the next. I didn't even like thinking about the progress I was making that much. The only time I stopped to reflect was major milestones like century changes, major weight amounts, and my first year.
That didn't change until after I passed the 200 mark or for me the 2/3 mark. That is when I decided to start this group and that is when I found out surgery was an option this year. Now I am more comfortable considering other goals.3 -
Good advice...I want to ease in to this long term goal thing....right now I am focusing on one foot in front of the next....I want to lose weight and as long as I am eating lower calories I will keep losing....I know I need to begin some exercise but right now the food intake is my main consideration...I don’t want the loss to go too slow because I would like to enjoy a few slim healthy years before I croak!...I do think about the progress I have made because it amazes me that I am sticking with it...I am still motivated and determined to be healthier!1

Work the plan for today. Update the plan for tomorrow.
Be patient, kind and understanding with myself!
“It doesn’t come natural until it’s practiced unnaturally.”
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
“Fail forward quickly and often!”
Have a wonderful Wednesday!2 -
My steps crossed the 14k mark yesterday. I may have finally had a higher day than @jjlewey.
It is hard to have specific daily goals right now but for the remainder of the week:
1) Heal and be happy
2) Work on getting spreadsheet version 5.0 ready for use.
3) Hit over 9k steps on any day I do not feel bad

@tinkerbellang83 I love that you include a gratitude journal in your goals! And sleep and meditation, too.
My goals have been very narrowly focused on calorie deficits and weight loss, but I’ve been struggling with stress and some bigger life issues. I think adding a gratitude journal and yoga/meditation would help me find a better balance. Thanks! If one of your goals today is to help a new friend, give yourself a smilie face. 2 -

I used to have only weight loss goals but quickly realised that the scale doesn't always reflect adherence to my plan and that doesn't mean I am doing anything wrong, it's just masked by fluctuations in the short term, so I now focus more on the stuff that helps me keep to the calorie deficit.
Stress and poor sleep are two of my biggest triggers for binge-eating so it makes sense for me to prioritise them in my goals.
The gratitude diary helps to ground me a bit when I have had a bad day as I have to go out of my way to think what has been at least one positive thing that has happened or that I am thankful for.
I use the calm app for meditation and it has several categories for Guided Meditation, including Sleep, Anxiety and Emotions, so some of the suggestions in it have been very helpful in dealing with stress without reaching for the fridge.

I love your updates @tinkerbellang832

Today's goal was just to stick with the program. And I did it. Had 150 calories left over. I'll bank those for later...or not. Great feeling to get over the despondency of not seeing the scales move but keeping on logging and moving. Walked 5.2km. In the rain too so I reckon I get bonus points for that😝2

Goals for this week:
-Hit all 6 programmed workouts.
1 down. 5 to go.
2 -
For the week:
1) Heal and be happy
2) Determine if I am ready to transition back to losing until I am cleared for exercise so 4 or 5 deficit days this week.
3) 9k+ steps on any day I feel up to it.
4) Try to limit to 12k steps on days I feel too good. I start treatment on my knee in 2 weeks so another lesson in patience I suppose.
5) Hope that not one more thing adds to my required patience because it might send me over the edge.2 -
