    Happy Wonderful Wednesday B) I hope yours has not been a Wacky Wednesday (Dr. Seuss)

    You will not believe what I did.
    Last night I could not get to sleep so fixed a cup of hot "get some zzz's™ tea". Mind you - had no thought of food but I opened the refrig door and found a handful of red sweet cherries.
    And did I even even think about NO LATE NIGHT SNACKING. No :s

    I was in pain the whole day yesterday, therefore nothing was accomplished. :/ Today is much better. :)


    Tues 7/715
    :/ 1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    :/ 2. Finish the dining room
    :/ 3. Walk out side if my leg can handle it.
    :/ 4. Mail return packages
    :) 5. Start following Fly Lady again.

    Today is a repeat of yesterday but I am hopeful I will accomplish a few of the goals.

    Wed 7/8/15
    1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    2. Finish the dining room
    3. Walk out side if my leg can handle it.
    4. Mail return packages
    5. Start following Fly Lady again.
    6. To Dr. for prothom test

    Wednesday's goals
    - double bootcamp
    - hit or under calorie target

    Connect with myself and others.

    Achieved first two. And pushed so hard at both bootcamps!
    Working on the 3rd and did give it some attention today.

    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.

    I'm going to join everyone here to come up with my goals for the remainder of the day and tomorrow.

    7/8/15
    I have been successful completing most things on my to-list today, but spent too much time checking this and other sites, which prevented me from being productive in other things.

    Tonight: I will:

    1. Complete 3 more items on my to-do list. (the 4th/last item may have to wait until tomorrow)
    2. Not eat anything but drink water/tea after 10 PM.
    3. Be in bed by midnight. Will attempt to sleep before 1 am. (I've become nocturnal)
    4. Not check mfp or other message boards unless logging any more calories.

    Tomorrow 7/9/15 I will:
    1. Wake up at 7 AM and get over of bed by 7:30.
    2. Post my goals for the day with follow-up of tonght 8 AM

    @feistyjojo: I've been wondering for a while, what are these bootcamps that you do? Do you have to go to a gym, or can it be done at home?

    6. Don't waste time with unimportant things on computer. (ex. Limit social media (including mfp, games to the time I allowed myself on my schedule)
    7. Stay focused on "work" tasks. (Ex. Research no more than 30 min each item. (focus for 25 min)
    8. Complete other items on personal task list

    Tomorrow AM:
    1. Wake up at 7 AM and get over of bed by 7:30.

    1. no munching, meals and planned snacks only
    2. running slow this morning and forgot the milk for my coffee, so only one cup to avoid the sugar and creamer.

    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!

    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.
