@GrandmaJackie‌ -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Just for Today 3/02 1. log what I eat 2. forgive myself for the weekend It's my 12 hour work day and I didn't sleep well last night, so that's all I'm doing today.

Hugs to you Joan, and your daughter. What a rough experience. You should be extremely proud of yourself for logging! That is super impressive. And be easy on yourself for going over, because we are all human after all. <3

It is amazing how quickly we slide into bad habits. Especially when we feel crappy. I know that all my grazing yesterday was looking for comfort. And frankly, the only comfort is to get rid of this sinus pressure. It's not enough to lay me out for the day, but it's enough to make me uncomfortable all day. Just for Today…

Good job!!!

Yesterday was a big fail, but I'm okay with it. About an hour before "quitting time" my ear started hurting. My mom told me what to do, so I spent the evening putting nose drops in and trying to get ahead of my sinuses. Today, they are still very tingly, so not sure I will get exercise in. Playing it by ear...no pun…

@azulvioleta6, I gotta ask, what is your profile picture!? For the longest time, I thought it was you holding a sleeping baby. Then yesterday you said you're not a mom. I thought, it could still be a niece, nephew or friend...but for some reason, I really can't see it.

I know that strength training is essential to a healthy body, especially as we age. However, I struggle with it because I do not find it enjoyable at all. Last week I contacted my sister in law who seems to be really into it and she sent me her routine. Last night I joined a gym. So the next month will be dedicated to…

Just for Today 2/24 1. log 2. get in 30 minutes of exercise I know I keep doing the same small goals, but this seems to be working, so why hack it?

Just for Today 2/22 1. log, log, log 2. drink 8 glasses of water 3. get in 30 minutes of exercise

Just for Today 2/21 1. DO NOT GIVE UP, eventually it will kick in 2. log, log, log 3. Just say no to carbs 4. Take the dogs up for their favorite walk @feistyjojo - I get it. I too take a hiatus when things are not going well. But I'm trying to come back pass or fail for the day and do my report, because I truly believe it…

Logging seems to be such a struggle, but I'm gonna take a win. We met a friend for dinner after work yesterday. Got home around 7:30. It was dark and drizzly out. I meandered around the house for a about 15 minutes trying to find a reason NOT to get my walk in. Then I just did it. So happy I did! Just for Today 2/20 1.…

Donna, I cried when I drove over a snake that was across the road (unavoidable) in Florida. I can't imagine how I would have felt if I hit something warm blooded like a deer. Nothing embarrassing about compassion. <3

Last night I forgave myself for not being perfect and I felt great! It may seem like such a small thing, but for me it was huge. I do not have a spotless, looks like it belongs on a magazine house. I do not need to be model thin. I do not need to look like I just stepped out of a magazine shoot. I can be me with all my…

Failed at both. Try again. Eventually it will click: Just for Today 2/18 1. log everything 2. exercise 30 minutes 3. forgive myself for not being perfect

Once again, I went MIA. Ah well, at least I keep coming back! Just for Today 2/17: 1. log everything 2. do 30 minutes exercise That's it. Just the two today. Gotta keep it basic.

Just for Today 2/14 1. log every bite 2. get in 30 minutes of exercise 3. drink 8 glasses of water (so easy during the week, but such a challenge on weekends)

[quote="losingrae;31279687" Just for Today 2/12 1. Log every bite :) 2. Do 30 minutes of exercise :) Actually did 40 mins!! 3. Remember that my weight does not make me less worthy. :) [/quote] Just for Today 2/13 1. log every bite I only have this one goal because I'm getting dinner and drinks after work with a friend. It…

I am extremely grateful for the support I have found on this board. It has introduced me to the most wonderful people! For that, I keep coming back. Just for Today 2/12 1. Log every bite 2. Do 30 minutes of exercise 3. Remember that my weight does not make me less worthy.

Welcome! Slow and steady wins the race, but I know how you feel. It seems like it should be more. I think that is why I deal with so many set backs.

I have been MIA for over a week, but I am back. I guess that is the good thing right, I keep coming back. This board is both helpful and discouraging at the same time. When I don't meet my goals, I am embarrassed to return and admit my failure. Then I try to set super simple goals so that I won't have to admit defeat. The…

Just for Today 02/04 1. 30 minutes of cardio (either elliptical or walking) 2. log everything I eat 3. 10 minutes of positive meditation So far no foot pain! Next week, I'll be upping my cardio time. Maybe I can get back down to my normal weight by the time my family comes to visit in July.

Joan, it's a great idea to be specific about what you will do to "keep busy" instead of snacking. Two things are accomplished. You don't snack, and you get something off your "to do" list! Plus if you have something specific, you can't meander around trying to come up with something to do, while snacking :open_mouth:

Just for Today 02/03 1. 30 minutes on the elliptical 2. log everything I eat 3. 10 minutes positive meditation @GrandmaJackie‌ congrats on the new grand baby! Excited that soon you'll be able to spend all the time in the world with her <3

Getting on the elliptical didn't hurt my foot. In fact, walking Saturday, elliptical Sunday, an no added foot pain. Feeling pretty good about that! I can back into the swing of things. I overate yesterday....Superbowl and all. But I logged it all, so that is a step in the right direction. Just for Today 02/02: 1. log…
