What's your PoA? A PoA is a Plan of Attack. What are you going to do to reach your goals or stay on plan this week. Think about the challenges you have coming up (holiday parties?). Think about what you're doing well but more importantly what you could improve on. Then make a list of things you will focus on. The more specific the better.
Not so specific:
Stay OP
Exercise

More specific
- track every day using
- plan my food for the day each morning
- walk 3 days

Now, what's your PoA?

Next Goal: Get off the weight I’ve gained (8 lbs to go)

Plan of Attack:
- TRACK – with MFP
- Liquids - at least 80 oz
- Eat according to my hunger signals – staying under my calorie goal
- Think Goal vs. Impulsivity (angel/devil)
- Go to bed by 10:30
- Gym – 5-6 classes this week

Cindy, what's MFP?

I expect DH to bring home a basket of cookies today (baked by one woman he works with; she makes really delicious Christmas cookies every year and gives baskets of 'em to everyone she works with). Last night, DH brought me a chocolate frozen yogurt from Costco (he knows how much I love it) and put it into the freezer for me. I haven't opened the freezer since I got home last evening... Too much sugar all week.

Plan: stick as close to "on plan" as I possibly can (I already threw away some Christmas candy I was given on Wednesday)

Holly Gail MFP is My Fitness Pal. It's a website/app (bought by Under Armor) where you can track your weight, put in your food consumed and it tracks calories. It will set your calorie goal per day based on some questions you answer (current weight, activity level, do you want to lose or maintain, how much do you want to lose/week.
It also keeps track of macronutrients so you know what percentage is carbs, protein, fats. It keeps track of sodium and sugar too...

I responded earlier but my response seemed to go into "nowhere??"

My POA
Do this "One Day at a Time"
Too many rules and too distant future causes me stress so here is my plan for today
1. Drink 6 glasses of water
2. Only GHG between meals - fruit; veggies; dairy
3. Move my body some and stretch particularly
Have a great day. Marie

1. Continue to follow my goals for this 7 week challenge (liquids/water & time for reflection)
2. React to holiday pressures with non-food calming methods if needed
3. Put foods to avoid out of sight/out of mind (I will plan for enjoying special, once-a-year items at times I can savor and enjoy)
