Even with the holidays aproaching, today is the first day of my 90 day challenge. This challenge includes logging all food and exersize in the myfitnesspal. This is so exciting and I am committed to doing this. For anyone reading this, feel free to join me in this healthy quest to get our livesback.

Day 1 I can do this. I need to do this. I want to do this. I have to do this. I am excited about doing this.

    So happy that there are responses from my earlier post. I am new to message boards so it might take a few times to get the hang of how these boards work.

    OK Day 1 was not great but it was good. After logging in the days food, went over by 200 calories-it is really a good thing that logging food is part of this plan. Water consumption was only 2 glasses but will do better tomorrow. This time trying not to go gung ho and then burn out before getting a good start. How was everyone elses day?

    Breakfast sounded good. Good way to start the morning with protein in the peanut butter. Hope your exersizing went well.

    Today is Day 3. Stayed on task with calories, carbs and protein. It really does help to log in food intake. I really didn't realize how much I was eating each day so it is easy to see how I became overweight. Increasing my protein intake has helped me feel full until the next snack or meal. With all of the junk food, I was constantly going from a sugar high to a crash so many times during the day. Funny thing is I don't feel like I am missing out at all. I have not gotten back into the exersize routine yet but I am thinking about it so that is a start. Thank you to all of you who has friended me and those who have joined me in this challenge. We can do this!!!!!!

    Day 4 and I feel like I am struggling. Got on the scales this morning and had not lost any weight. I have logged food intake everyday and have been real close on calories, fat, and protein. Got on the treadmill for the first time this afternoon and walked. A positive thing is that I feel much better eating the right things and eating 5-6 small meals a day. I guess one thing I need to remember is that the weight gain did not happen overnight and the weight loss won't either. I realize the diabetes makes this more of a challenge but I can do it. When I read the posts on MFP about your weight losses and change of lifestyles, my motivation comes back. Thank you for sharing and if I don't respond to some of the posts, its because I am still trying to navigate on MFP. I do appreciate all of your support. Keep up the good work on your weight loss and weight maintenance.

    Sorry for not having checking in here for few days.I had been so busy of my 2 year old and super active child and a lot of household chores. I've been able to track my food and exercise.I'm doing ripped in 30 and 30 day shred all at same time. I and my sis in law went on early x mass shopping for our kids. We also ate at the restaurant and I cant imagine how many calories I've consume for that. Good thing I still have remaining calories because I haven't eaten much this morning and lunch. I'm so tired and I want to go to bed.

    We cannot afford to lose hope. I experienced that too. We can reach our goal.

    Day 5 Another tough day so I am having a talk with myself tonite to remind myself why I am doing this 90 day challenge. Didn't get my mid-morning snack and then lunch at 1:00 and was starved so just ate way to much. After the over eating today my body was telling me that I did not need that food and that is why I got sick. Tomorrow is a new day and tomorrow when I do this post- I WILL be back on track. Thanks friends for your encouragement.

    Day 6 Can't believe it has been 6 days already. Only 1 pound lost but that is OK. This is about a 90 day challenge for a life long life style change. Had an awesome breakfast at 7 am and ready for a protein shake for a mid morning break. Got a great day of working around the house planned. This afternoon planning on reading a little more on the Eat-Clean Diet for some more information. I gotta get the exercise on a daily basis going though. Thinking that I might turn off my computer and each time I turn it on-I should walk on the treadmill for a minimum of 15 minutes BEFORE I get on the computer. (Once I get started on the treadmill walking I generally keep pushing myself and actually enjoy it). For trying to drink more water,I am going to put a bottle of water on the nightstand and before I get out of bed in the morning, I will drink it. Also, I have realized that I am an emotional eater. When something goes wrong or not quite right, the first thing I do to make myself feel better is wanting to find something to eat. This has to stop. I need to find a new "activity" instead of eating such as a short 5-10 minute walk or to walk away from the situation for 5-10 minutes or maybe even drink a bottle of water. The first step was realizing that the emotional eating was a problem and I have. It is going to be a great day so time to get up and get moving. Hope you all hae a great day!

    Day 7 Today was a good day. Under my calorie goal. Think it was because I started the day out with a protein shake. Went grocery shopping and bought a fresh vegetables for my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner with the family. Feel good and back on track!!
