Hi digray32-it's a great thread. We have some incredibly inspirational posters. Add it to your favorites & click on the star at the top of your page after clicking on Community. Then you don't have to search for it each time. Best wishes!0 -
I'm new here, we'll sort of anyway...have been lurking a bit but ready now to commit to MFP and the tools and community support. Since consistency is an issue for me this looked like a good topic...
JFT:
Track nutrition, stay within recommended goals
8 glasses of water
20 - 30 minutes walking minimum
Keep it simple, don't get distracted0 -
It is amazing how quickly old habits can come back. That is why one day at a time is good - we can start fresh each new day.
So just for today, saturday
1. get out for a LONG walk
2. Low carbs, no sugar today
3. drink more water
4. stay positive.
5. Encourage at least one poster. We are all in this together.

Looks like I missed yesterday all together. Had my teeth whitened on Wed and OUCH!!! So much pain. Managed to get in my weights workout and 10k steps yesterday but geez it hurt. Not only my mouth but my head because I couldn't drink my tea and diet coke! This morning it still hurts like heck. I will not be doing that again!
JFT 10/13
1. Stay within calorie limits
By a long shot but only because my mouth is in so much pain I couldn't eat. 
2. Walk the dogs
4. Cardio workout
Nope, just took Tylenol PM and slept most the day.
JFT, 10/14
So, my SIL is having a party at my house today. I'm not sure I'm going to even be able to be out with everyone. Who doesn't go to a party at their own house?? It's probably a good thing for my diet. LOL. Gotta look at the bright side. Still in some pain. I think I had a reaction to the teeth whitening stuff. Anyway, goals for today:
1. Stay within calorie limits
That's it.0 -
1. I will run
2. I will stick to my meal plan0 -
You do remember correctly. I'm able to "jog" for about 15 seconds at a time. My joints are pretty achy, and I'm feeling a lot of fatigue today. I can't do what I want to do, yet. But I've got the motivation to keep going. 9pm now and I'm heading off to bed. I may be awake until 9:01

Well, it's my turn....i though I posted today's goals, but they disapeared...or I dreamed that I posted it....
Did good on saturday, but I wasn't feeling well and didn't exercise. Went over just a bit on calories.
Today I did well, also. Went jogging with a friend, then spent a couple of hours with another friend showing her how MFP works.
She has been watching my success and asking questions for a long time now, but I think she might start for real now.
Hey Miss B! If you log on and find me. I love you!
Met my goal today to walk and / or jog at least 5 miles today. 11/30

3. Clean windows

@bri170lb That happens to me regularly. I tend to forget to hit the post reply button. Well done on the NSV!
@68myra Did you have surgery for your hip? I had mine done on 4th September. Keep up with the PT. it's so worth it!0 -
Ok, so I'm finally getting better although my jaw is still swollen and very sore. Had to go back in to the dentist and the only thing we can figure is some kind of allergic reaction. I'm thinking maybe to the toothpaste they gave me to use after. So, my whole weekend was shot as I was zoned out on painkillers the whole time. Still hurts a bit today but more manageable.
JFT, 11/16
1. Stay within calorie limits
2. Walk the dogs
3. Workout: Burn Circuit 1 (at least try it and see how it goes)0 -
Just for today:
1. I will not snack at work-- not even when the left over cookies are brought back for employees
2. I will walk up at least 10 steps of stairs
3. Go to bed at 11pm and not a minute later0 -
@bri170lb congrats on the NSV!
@TerriRichardson112 no, I have not had hip surgery. x-ray says my bones are fine, all the pain is in soft tissue. i was told i have a muscle imbalance, but that dr.'s advice hasn't solved it. I have a physical therapist (who helped me with tailbone pain earlier) saying my pelvis does not move properly, and she is trying to help me with that.
@shrcpr YIKES! i'm sorry you had to go through that experience. hopefully you are over the hump!
Just for Monday, 11/16
1. pt/foam rolling/walking/yoga
2. log everything
3. breathe0 -

Gee, I guess I should have read my goals today. Maybe I would have remembered to do some of them!
I went jogging in the morning and then sat in my chair and watched movies all day. Ate too much, didn't accomplish much and was bored. All in all, not a very productive day.
J4T Tuesday
1. Remember my goals
2. Get up early enough to make breakfast lunch and snack to take with me to work
3. Stick to calorie goals!
4. Go to gym

Shrcpr-hope you've healed. Maybe an allergic reaction. I seem to be sensitive to everything on my skin. No fun.
For those of us who are healing or having to cope with pain, I hope you get relief soon.
JFT
I'm on track for water. Added 24 oz plus first thing in the am. Head feels clearer.
Need to take a hard look at the processed foods/sugar that I've allowed back into my diet. My joints are already burning & aching.
My son & I are meeting with a nutritionist soon since he's been having stomach problems & needs some guidance. I have a fear that my bad habits will be picked up by him (no matter how hard I try to hide them). It amazes me how I can say the same thing as what the dr is saying but my kids & husband don't hear me & yet they hear the dr. loud & clear LOL.
Walk briskly.
Weight lift.
Prep a healthy supper-extra veggies.
Make a fruit salad.
Pack a bag of food for the church food drive.
Be grateful for how quickly my body responds in a positive way when I eat healthily & practice healthy habits (sleep, exercise, selfcare).

Great pictures Terri. My daughter (now 9) was a month early. She's come so far. Thank you for reminding me of this time.0 -
