I'm here! I've been reading the posts but have been behind in posting for myself.
Just haven't had the energy to exercise the past 2 days. I have been drinking the water but that's about it
I did finally clean out a kitchen cabinet that was kind of a "catch all"--2 grocery sized bags full of junk/and paper clutter.

Thank you Robin, Mern & Donna for the support & encouragement 
I really appreciate the feedback. Today will be a better day!
Goal today: no more than 1300 calories and 6 - 8 cups of water
No mindless snacking!! Need to listen to my body for hunger, not boredom! And do my arm/shoulder exercises at least twice
Hope you all have an awesome and successful day

1) Plan meals -yes, I didn't post it I had it in my notebook because my cable was down, yes
2) stick as close to plan as possible - no yes
3) 6 glasses water- ? yes
4) Do not spend too much time online or on phone or doing chores. Write!!!!- I wrote 11 hours, a 750 word fiction piece (I rarely write fiction) It was so much fun!!! It helped that the internet was down; yes not as much as yesterday since I was mainly editing but yes

yea, 1194 calories & 6 glasses of water in today
I found that some fresh squeezed lemon juice with a few drops of Stevia (not sugar or chemical - natural) for sweetening makes the water much more palatable for me! need to stock up on lemons too and maybe limes - one a day. stocked up on fruit & made some homemade chicken soup tonight, yum.
Hope, your menu always sounds so good!
I bet you all had a great day too
