    Enjoy my time recuperating from my foot surgery. Sometimes we just have to do what is required whether we like it or not.

    Good day :)

    It's a busy day today for me. Out of the house for the most part of the day. I did my WI today and am down 2.4 lbs and that makes me happy.

    Just for Today

    ~ Carry my water everywhere and get my 8 glasses at least
    ~ walk at least 30 mins on the treadmill today and do some crunches.
    ~ Make a meal plan for the weekend.

    Have a great Friday everyone :)

    This week has been screaming busy, so this will be brief, even though I really have enjoyed reading the recent posts. :)
    @vicky1947: Hope your ankle is feeling better day by day! Hopefully you won't be out too much of the summer!
    @bri170: Sounds like you are really doing well with dropping weight--that is soo awesome!

    JFT:
    1. Exercise 30+ min.
    2. 4 Pints water/tea
    3. Doing new thing for a bit--sort of keto diet, so, stick with that today

    Say, anyone know anything about the Bulletproof diet, which seems rather similar in concept to Ketogenic dietary set-up????

    Hope you all have a magnificent friday!!!! :):):)

    What a beautiful day it is outside today. :) Hope you're all enjoying some sunshine!!

    Just for Today

    ~ Building a brick path around the house. I'll be moving the flatstone while my husband places it. That's going to be a calorie burner.
    ~ over 8 glasses of water
    ~ stay under calorie target

    Should be a fun day and the bonus is spending a nice day outside with my man :)

    JFT - I am going to a Mothers Day buffet and I am not going to stress about enjoying a little wine and dessert. I have saved a few calories each day this past week just for this.

    Hope all of the mothers reading this have a very wonderful Mothers Day.

    This would be more effective if you make it specific, measurable and something achievable for the day.

    So... I have had a wonderful weekend with my 2 nieces. And I have eaten and drunk so much I have likely undone some of my good work. Shouldn't have had the first biscuit. ... then here couldn't have a very been a second, third, nth....

    So back to it from tomorrow. I have a challenging few work weeks ahead and I will do my best to remember that I actually feel better when I eat well and look after myself.

    So... Monday's goals:
    - double bootcamp and really push it
    - - no added sugar
    - - under calorie goal

    And.... stay calm and clear - headed at work... a LOT to get done.

    epic fail day :(

    I just managed to truly achieve goal number 1.... I did snack on nuts but also on toberlone (there goes my no dairy rule). I did login MFP but didn't maintain calorie limit... I did drink 3L but had a carb rich dinner... and I didn't do any LNS, but only because I was too full!

    Perhaps I should not have too many goals on a weekend.... lesson learnt.
