    I read item 3 as remembering to come back from the store after getting fruit, which amused me way more that it should have

    JFT 9 July:
    1. Stay in cal limits-- :)
    2. 3+ pints water/tea-- :):)
    3. Exercise 30+ min-- :) Got in over 30 min weeding, which counts in my book...and will hopefully also do my walk.
    4. Get thru an overwhelmingly busy day with PATIENCE!!-- :) 7 dental appointments, daughter to drivers ed and then Tae Kwon Do, trying to finish some school things---all is well so far!
    5. Call the "garage sale junk" guy who buys what's left of people's gsale leftovers.-- Need to find out phone #

    I am going to do my thing of checking in part way thru (it is almost dinner time), coz I am doing a kidney cleanse for a couple days (apple juice/cider only) and I am feeling feisty (like gimme foooooooood!!!!)!! So, hopefully seeing a few smileys on my goals already will help me finish well.

    Thursday's goals:
    - prep bike for cycling (pump tyres, check lights etc)
    - if all ok cycle to evening social event to burn some calories
    - stay within 15% of normal calorie goal. I find this really tough on non bootcamp days.. so am slightly flexing the target on 'social days' to still lead to weight loss but just be a bit more achievable and enjoyable. Target still works out at only 1420 with adjustment and I'm good with this.

    Er.... none of the above. Chose to drive so I didn't drink alcohol. Then more than used up the calories in eating massive helpings of dessert not to mention the huge amount of chocolate I ate before I went out. Hmmmm. NOT good.

    Epic fail today.

    Friday's goals
    - push hard at bootcamp
    - eat enough food at lunch to stop myself scoffing from being too hungry later on
    - moderate alcohol intake at evening social... Make it wine spritzers to slow myself down

    @kwfitgal The bootcamps I do are an outdoor exercise class run by a great trainer, rain, shine or even snow. He's a great trainer and a sports rehab expert so focuses on good technique. Every single session is different so I never get bored. He's a great balance of encouraging and challenging. And it's Pay as you go, which suits my varying work patterns. I'm lucky to have found something that works for me. ☺

    JFT 9 July:
    1. Stay in cal limits-- :) OK, now day is done. Officially in limits.
    2. 3+ pints water/tea-- :):) More like 4 or 5.
    3. Exercise 30+ min-- :) Got in over 30 min weeding, which counts in my book...and will hopefully also do my walk. Now also did arm exercises/walk also.
    4. Get thru an overwhelmingly busy day with PATIENCE!!-- :) 7 dental appointments, daughter to drivers ed and then Tae Kwon Do, trying to finish some school things---all is well so far!
    5. Call the "garage sale junk" guy who buys what's left of people's gsale leftovers.-- Need to find out phone #

    So, there's the updated deal. Made it thru one day well. Hopefully tomorrow can be a repeat. :)
    @ feistyjojo: Sounds like you have found an ideal situation with your trainer/class! I've seen the term bootcamp all over MFP--there are probably a gazillion versions. And then of course, tomorrow's another day, right? ;)

    I was successful at sticking to my goals! I completed almost everything on yesterday's long task list. I was actually very busy, but I simply didn't have time to finish a couple of things.I should mentioned that I'm a teacher and not currently working. So keeping a schedule is the only way for me to stick to my goals and get things done. I am going to try to find some more time to actually relax part of of the day, but may have to schedule it in. Otherwise it either won't happen or I'll just crash and won't do anything else.

    7/10/15
    1. Don't eat after 9:40 pm
    2. Drink at 8 glasses of water
    3. Stay active and get up after sitting for a while (Yesterday was my exercise day, so I just don't want to be lazy)
    4. In bed 11:30. Try to sleep 12:30
    5. Don't waste time with unimportant things on computer. (ex. Limit social media, including mfp, and games to the time I allowed myself on my schedule)
    6. Stay focused on "work" tasks. (Ex. Research no more than 45 min each)
    7. Complete other items on personal task list
    8. Make up a to-do list and goals for tomorrow

    Tomorrow AM:
    1. Wake up at 7 AM and get out of bed by 7:30.
    2. Post how I did previous day and post my goals for the day by 8 AM

    Hi. I'm happy to find this thread. I've been on MFP for almost two weeks, and I'm doing well with diet and exercise; however, I'm supposed to be packing for a move at the beginning of August, and after I exercise, I keep doing the minimum of chores. I'm pretty sure it's a sleep problem caused by a new medication, but I'd love some accountability to wake up and keep busy, and posting here is a good idea. Today's goal: Finish packing craft supplies and books.
