    Weekend was good overall. Did a little too much snacking yesterday evening, but I'm not going to worry about it too much. Today is a new day :)

    I have not done a low impact aerobics class for a while, but it was so much fun doing it this morning.

    Basically if I don't get a full nights sleep I will not get up in the morning and workout, this makes my day way too hard. But I would like to/need to get at least 30 minutes of something done each day. Walking to/from work doesn't really count for me - I don't think my heart rate gets up enough! For the month of August my goals are to workout at least 5 days a week (30 min minimum) and reach my step goal at least 85% of the month.

    Research shows that a good night sleep has a great effect on your mood, metabolism, and ultimately on your weight loss.

    Been doing good on food. Slacked off a little on working out over the weekend. I'll try to make sure I get in 5 workouts this week.

    I haven't checked in since the 5th and while I wish I could say it has all be good that is not the case. I have been to the gym on the 5th and the 9th and honestly I have no idea when I will be back. Honestly, I am ready to have my space back - houseguest gone :) It is hard co-habituating with a night person when you are a morning person! Instead of my being at work and falling asleep at my desk several times a day from late nights and early mornings I just gave up. I know I should be eating better but I think the stress of it all is really getting to me, to where I cannot focus on much of anything, even the planning and execution of a decent meal. I have still been logging my food and trying to watch the amounts, though sad to say they are amounts of cookies, candy, ice cream, etc... mostly bad stuff and I feel it. This is supposed to be over by the end of September and I plan will get back on track and get back on a schedule that works for me and makes me feel better.

    I think I will have gained about 10lbs.

    Stay strong!!!

    Entertaining house guests for a considerable length of time can take a toll on your pocket and derail your plans. While you enjoyed the company and had lots of fun , Its now time to get back to your MFP business. Good luck!

    Walked in the park for 1 hr. Will be attending a kiddie 5th Birthday later. I have no plans to eat junk/snacks. Am very close to Onederland, 200.1 lbs. Rewarded myself with Lancome skin care products. Always wait for the sales to get the 7-piece gift set and also an extra bonus gift.

    New to this thread. I have been back on track for about 3 weeks now and just need that extra accountability to stay motivated. My goal is to eat healthy and exercise 5 days a week Mon-Fri, so far so good. I got a Fitbit charge hr yesterday and hopefully it will be a great motivator to move more. Today was the first day in 2 weeks that I ate fast food, hoping to move on from this and learn better self control.

    Had planned to take 2 water aerobics today but my skin started to get irritated with the chlorine so I only did 60 mins.

    Did good on calories this weekend but didn't workout. I got a few workouts in last week but not as many as I planned.

    Scale is moving again :)

    I managed to make my step goal over the weekend :) Today I did a power-walk at lunch and this evening I plan to do some Stretching and Strength training. No sweets for the rest of the day.

    60 mins of strength training with my personal trainer.It never feels the same when I do it by myself. Will get the hang of it as the weeks go by.
