    7/14

    1. Drink 8 glasses of water. :smile: I'm pretty sure, though I lost count.

    2. Be productive and finish to-do list :neutral: I had to move a couple of things to today. I got a lot of other things done, plus something else I needed to add.

    3. Limit computer/phone activity that is not productive. (games, social media) :neutral: I did okay, but would like to do less today.

    4. Don't sit for too long. Get up every 30 minutes. After 2 hours, do something else.. (if doing something on the computer for 2 hours, switch to something that is not on the computer for a while.) :smile:

    5. Try to sleep by 12:30 or early :smile:

    7/15

    6. Awake by 7 AM and get out of bed by 7:30 AM. :neutral: Mostly successful.

    7. Post goals by 8 AM.


    I actually got a lot done yesterday. Even though I didn't plan it as an exercise day, I did get in a long walk while catching up with an old friend.

    JFT 13.07.2015
    1. Stay under my calorie limit for the day (1500 + half exercise calories). :)

    JFT 14.07.2015 (I'll be gone for the day so I'll set my goals now)
    1. Enjoy the food offered without panicking about not being able to log accurately. :) (Ok, I freaked a little :p)
    3. That being said, don't use the day as an excuse to pig out on all the cakes/cookies likely to be offered. :/ (May have gone a little overboard towards the end...)
    4. Go for my run (Couch25k W2D3) MAYBE. Either that, or the next day. :( (Moved to today)

    "Don't start a diet that has an expiration date. Focus on a lifestyle that will last forever."

    Have to remember this!

    Just for today - this is my new lifestyle!
    1. Eat slowly, and enjoy what I eat. No more mindless eating!
    2. drink water - 2 glasses with every meal, 2 glasses in between meals
    3. min 30 minutes on the ellipitical, or walking. Going to be doing a lot of cleaning tonite, and daughter-in-law and grandson are coming, so I may have to count that, but hoping to still get in my walking!
    4.

    Happy Wednesday B)

    @michelle1173 I love your idea of limiting computer game time. That is really a biggy for me. I could sit and play cards all day. I might start listing that as a goal if you don't mind me stealing your idea??

    <3 1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    <3 2. Walk out side if my leg can handle it.

    1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    2. Walk out side if my leg can handle it.
    3. Kitchen closes at 9:00 for me.

    Was gone for a few days on a very nice mini-vacation with my wonderful hubby up the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior :) . Didn't watch eating much except to focus on protein...enjoyed lots of yummy food AND also got in alot of exercise--like several hikes up hills along rivers/waterfalls, going up 100 (not kidding, I counted) steps a couple times a day to get back to our condo from the meals down at resort, AND a two hour active canoe trip up in the Boundary waters. So, I don't really feel guilty for anything I ate, and I gained no weight. This is a major change from the trip we took to the same place last year--where I was 35 pounds heavier, not wanting to be active, and probably ate even more. :):):)

    JFT 15 July:
    1. Remember that I am back to real life, with house and kiddos and not hiking for 3 or 4 hours a day--SOOOOOOOOO: Stay in Cal limits!!!!
    2. Drink 3+ Pints water/tea
    3. Exercise 30+ min.
    4. Check motels for my relatives
    5. Help son get his resume done
    6. Put away/swap winter coats etc. for children

    KWFITGAL: So Jealous! I spent the week of the 4th of July at my dad's near Brainerd, MN. He lives on a lake and it's awesome. I'm from MN. I know he goes up to the north shore near Superior when he goes on vacation. Might not even be talking about the same state, but I do know how beautiful it is up there and I hope you had a fantastic time! :)

    What a wonderful trip!! I have been there twice - near Ely, MN, and the boundary waters. The most beautiful countryside, and I loved hiking around Lake Superior. I would love to go there again!!

    @Oconnell and @Joan: Yes, north shore as in near Ely--We like to go to Lutsen. It is soooooo incredibly gorgeous. The Lake is so refreshing....I am very thankful it is so close to home :) We've gone up there for the past several years--it's my "reward" at the end of the homeschool year :) Yes, it was just fantastic, thank you!

    Oh..... and of course come well under calorie target for day. No excuse with double bootcamp!!!

    Did not come under target.... ate back all my exercise calories AND my net was drill therefore on track.
    not as good as I intended. And quite frankly I earned it!!
