Just today, I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. And I’ll weigh myself and use Nutribase and the tools of The Hacker’s Diet to help me reach (and keep) my goals.
And Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (done once), drink 2 liters of water (I’ve drunk about 1/2 liter), walk 2 miles (which I did yesterday), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.
Wow, I’ve been thinking it’s Friday — And was in a totally different place as a result. Hmmm? It’s Wednesday? I guess I’ll be walking at 10 & 12 & 3 –
What are you going to do today?

Just4today I will drink my 5 glasses of water and not complain about it.
Just4today I will walk my 25 minutes on my treadmill with vigor and verve. If I can find my vigor and verve wherever I put them.
Just4today I will continue in my good behavior of NOT eating anything after 6 p.m.
Just4today I will believe in who I am and what I am and not mourn for what I used to look like. Part of me knows that who I am inside matters more that what I look like. The other part says baloney. Vegetarian baloney of course. If there is such a thing.
(vegetarian baloney) I’ve had that — they make it from soy and sell it in the vegetable department….
It’s good to hear your plans everyday Marge — you cover a lot of topics in a small amount of space.
This is a meeting packed day and I’ve got to go walk. But, I’m going to keep your vigor in mind while I do….
Hope I’m not blabbing too much.
I’m using your site as a way to get me started every day. I could just state my Just4today issues without comment. It helps me to focus when I have to write out exactly what I will do. And it helps me to keep on keeping on by injecting humor whenever and wherever I can find it.
Well, I for one love it!
Good afternoon KB and Marge.
I got a little more sleep last night, but I’m still running late today.
J4T I’ll drink 2 liters of water and try and get the house cleaned up some.
Hope everyone is doing fine.
Hi KB! Never been to your site. Just wanted to drop in and say HI!
Still struggling with sleep issues, and it shows in my ability (or not) to focus on exercise and proper eating.
However, on a lighter note, I found this about an opera singer’s “fat relocation project” in the NY TImes: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/17/an-opera-singers-fat-relocation-project/
Hi Family Man, I’m glad you got some sleep. Maybe after next week we can play some midnight games of computer gin rummy or something. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if my clock flipped. I used to be a night person way back when.
(waving at Kim) It’s good to see you!
{{catdog}} My dear Catdog! I’m struggling with my focus too. I’m doing what I have to do but, sort of barely hanging on. I’m really looking forward to the week after next. And fearing it too….
I’ve BEEN to her site, in fact I made a comment on her blog back in January and I get visitors every now and then that come here from her site. My health went to hell almost immediately after that and I lost my focus.
But, I did finally get back just yesterday. And she’d reached her goal. I was pretty happy for her.
xxoo
I’m so glad to see you again!
I wonder if we’ll ever see bombshell again…..
So glad that you “focus” on focusing. Looking back on my career as a yo-yo I see that I “lost” when I was focused and regained all I lost and more when I was not.
Motivation is easy to come by when the journey begins. I can recall a gazillion diets I went on only to come crashing back to earth when reality set in.
Losing weight isn’t about the latest silly fad diet or diet guru. Losing weight is about focusing on what is important to each of us and what we need to do to achieve that.
Once, for me, it was all about finding that little “hottie” that I used to be. I went on whatever bizarre diet fad promised that I would lose huge amounts of weight quickly, easily, and without having to do that dreaded exercise that I hated.
Any diet that promised I could remain a couch potato was fine with me even if I had to eat carrot soup and popcorn balls 3 times a day.
It’s sad that I had to wait so long to finally understand that there is no easy way to attain what I want and need.
So now I focus on eating right and exercising. I am still a couch potato in that the things I like to do best, reading, sewing and computering all are done sitting down. Now I just make sure that I am exercising in between doing those things. And it is all about focus.
Now I am beginning the journey again. The yo-yo is about to commence its final journey. Because I am 64 years old and I believe that I won’t live long enough to do this again if I fail. How’s that for motivation?
