Happy Fabulous Friday to each of you!
Today's goals:
Fri 7/10/15
1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
2. Walk out side or use DVD
3. Fix low Vit K veggies even if new to me
4. Do the Weekly Daily Challenges" from 60's group
Here's hoping Onward and Downward for each of us!!0 -
I had set a 10% weight loss goal for July 15th that short of lopping off a body part or two, I'm not going to come close to hitting. This is not negative thinking, instead it is an accepting of the reality. However for the next few days, I can still buckle down and hit the 5% weight loss mark by that time. I can do this despite currently being at a weight that I historically have had trouble getting much lower.
So, Just for the next 5 days:
1. find pedometer
2. 10,000+ steps each day (I'll have to guesstimate today
3. Planned snacks and meals
4. extra fruit and veggies.
5. Accept my current reality and set a new time goal0 -

@jmd543: Generally once a day...many folks post just once a day and update the next morning. Some do post goals in a.m. and update in p.m. An easy way to "check in" is by quoting yourself (click on "quote" along bottom of post) and add smileys / comments to your previous days' posting of goals. Welcome to a very nice group! Good job on accomplishing one goal already by midday .
@rebamae: So glad to hear you got out for a walk. It sounds like you have been having a rough time of it!!!
@aerochic: Love your viewpoint!!! Go, girl, go on that 5% goal. If you stick with this (albeit, lowered) goal, I'm sure it will motivate you to keep plugging on for the next one! Good luck!0 -
UGH!!! I keep getting side tracked..... Yesterday I completed many things - just not stuff on my priority list
