Did not weigh in -- Good for me. I reminded myself this morning before getting out of bed that I would not. I have the impulse to grab the scale before leaving the bathroom, but I think that is 'body memory'.
Drinking water is working just fine. Drank 12 cups yesterday with no problem.
I wrote up some interim goals yesterday with 'prizes' attached. If I log faithfully until Jan 5 I will treat myself to a massage. If a I do exercises daily for my feet and ankles until Dec 10 I will buy a tai chi video. If I do daily cardio plus one extra cardio during the week until Dec 15 I am going for a pedicure (first ever!). If I drink 8 cups of water daily until Dec 20, I will go for a swim. Finally if I maintain my personal weight spreadsheet until Jan 31 I will spend $50 on clothes! I created a spreadsheet to tick off each day for each goal so I can keep the goals present in my mind.
I started to call these 'little goals' then I changed it to 'mini goals' and finally chose 'interim goals'. Language is so important. I feel that the first two choices were belittling to the goals and to me for completing them. Not the internal head space I want to set up. So interim goals they are!

My cardio is 20 minutes of continuous dancing to the oldies and the extra will be something like a comfortable walk. So really it is merely about moving all 4 quadrants of my body! Back in the day (not so terribly long ago!) before I injured my Achilles heel, I did so much more! I would swim 110 lengths 3 times a week and run an hour 2 times a week and then run an hour+ once a week. One day break. I did that routine faithfully around 10 years. How far the mighty have fallen, eh?

Good for you! Goals are so very important and writing them down helps you be more accountable. Just think about what it will be like buying your new clothes or the wonderful decadence of a pedicure!! You go girl!!!
