Well, don't know what to do to motivate myself to exercise more and eat less.  I just don't seem to care enough.  I really enjoy and look forward to the encouragement on  CC.  It's more than I can actually relate to at home. DH is very good about trying to get the right things for me to eat and he tries to encourage me to exercise in his own "forceful" way which I of course fight against, it seems just to spite him.  I think if he would exercise (walk) with me and support the activities that I like and want to do, I'd have better luck.  Getting up an hour early to exercise is not my idea of encouragement.  I like to sleep, he wakes up at 4:30 just because.  And just before bed and as soon as he opens his eyes he's watching sports and eating a bowl of cereal...  I just can't face that.  Maybe when this SI Joint heals, I won't be so cautious with what exercise I do and maybe I'll be a little more motivated with the pain gone as well.  Anything to motivate me and encouragement is the best medicine.  I need a gentle tug to follow in the right direction, not the push and shove.  Better luck today!

Daily goals yesterday:  1/2 accomplished.  Did not meet the water, the exercise, and calorie goals.
