Default Daily Challenge to Stay "On Plan"

I have been struggling now for 3 months to get back on track and stay on track. I'll have a good day and then fall off. This month I am trying my hardest to stick to my plan for the entire month. Last year I did so good from June-Dec and I want to get back to that place.

I will take it one day at a time.

My plan is to:

1. Exercise at least 4 times each week
2. Drink at least 6 glasses of water each day
3. Stay within my calorie range and eat more whole foods and less processed foods
4. Limit my sugar intake
5. Post on 3FC daily and write down everything I eat

GettingFit May I join you? Question: When the ice and cold weather hit, how did you get your exercise in?

MY PLAN:

1. Exercise aerobic 10 min a day, every day for this month.
2. Drink at least 6 glasses of water each day
3. Stay within my calorie range and eat more whole foods and less processed foods
4. Strength training at Gym twice a week.
5. Post on 3FC daily and write down everything I eat
6. Follow Beck Diet Plan to modify my thinking so I can improve my behavior.

See, I borrowed some of your items "on plan" and simply added what I'm trying to do each day, or week.

Mini Goal? Get out of the 220's very soon. 9 pounds to go.

Good morning love2garden, why of course you are more than welcome to join it. I could use the encouragement

When it's cold and I can't get outdoors to walk, I have a ton of DVDs that I use or I walk at work. Sometimes I put on some good dance music and I'll dance for 30-45 mins. Now that the time has changed and it's getting warmer, I will be able to get more outdoor walking in.

My weekend was ok but Sunday was a little off. I did get lots of activity by working in the yard and in the house over the weekend.

Today's plan:

B: Greek yogurt, blueberries, banana, tea
L: Lean Cuisine, decaf coffee
S: orange
D: Subway Turkey/Ham sub, baked Lay's
Exercise: Walk

Bet you really enjoyed being outside in the yard!!! Seems easier to me to work outside than to try to use tredmill, etc inside.

I like the time change and can get outside to walk early before it gets too hot in the summer time.

All my meals were good, with lots of fantastic asparagus for dinner with small steak.
Exercise walk.

Supper is what DH fixes, but he cooks healthy. I just have to watch my portions.

love2garden - Great job on a successful day! Yes I love working in the yard just as it's starting to warm up and things start to bloom.

I had a pretty good day yesterday. I'm having work done in my kitchen so I'm having to eat out for a few days and I have company coming in from Thursday-Monday so things may be a little crazy for me. I plan to stick as close to my plan as possible over the weekend.

Today's plan:

B: banana
L: Turkey on flat bread w/spinach, baked chips
S: orange, sesame sticks
D: TBD
Exercise: House work

I'm always so happy when I come back to 3FC and find familiar faces (figuratively of course). How are you doing GettinFit?!

A lot has change for me since the last time I was on here. I don't live in Alaska anymore thank goodness! My husband is out of the Army so we are adjusting back to civilian life. I had a new baby who arrived in February. =) Everything is settling down so I'm back to trying to focus on my health again of course.

It's great to see you still here fighting the good fight!
