Oh geez, I have got to work on the water and protein. I hope I get to the point where it just happens without having to think about it. But until then, I have to work on it.0

This week's goal is to top my 10 hours per week workout. I've been stuck at 10 per week for a while due to a back injury. But I'm on the mend after 4 months and I want to get back to 15 hours a week. I lost really well when I was at 15hrs a week and I felt better too.0

August goals:
* Follow all instructions I am given at my initial assessment (this Friday!)
* Keep setting aside at least 30 minutes each day to dedicate to being active
* Keep up on exercise through finals week
* Drink more water (now that I've stopped drinking with meals I've found that I don't get as much each day)0 -
I have water, protein and excercise down. For August, ten months since surgery, my focus is on managing food intake closely as the honeymoon period of rapid and relatively "easy" weight loss ends. I broke 195 pounds last month, I'd like to break 190 by September 1st.0

Increase Water
Establish exercise routine (currently 2 weeks post op)
Meal planning
10k steps daily (fitbit)0 -
-Continue with 30 minutes of cardio each day
-Maintain the 1200 cal. per day diet suggested by my dietician
-Goal 12-15 lb. loss by Sept.1st.0 -
Water! I'm averaging 4-6 need 6-8!
Move. Since surgery (3w) I've been mostly sedentary (complications). I need to up my step count to 5-7k every day regardless of taking a walk or not.
Continue following the plan and trusting the process!0 -
I want to lose 6 more pounds by the 19th (so I'll hit 100lbs in 6 months)
I want to do a sprint interval workout on grass to see how it goes
I want to do a 3-mile bike ride a few times in prep for the triathlon
I want to do at least one 5k walk/jog in prep for the tri
I want to get a minimum of 6.5 hrs sleep every night. Or at least make sure I am in bed trying to sleep that long despite interruptions that may be out of my control.

New week, new goals (for me):
- Get back on the tracking wagon. Haven't adjusted back well since my trip.
- Get back on the water wagon - I'm not getting enough.
- Exercise - every day, no exceptions. I let rain be an excuse for being lazy last week.
So basically, back to basics for me.0 -
I need to remember to eat. I still have little-to-no interest in food at a month out. I have still been eating mostly pureed foods, even though I'm getting tired of the same stuff. I've got to work on some meal planning and experimentation. My daily calories are maybe 2/3 of where they should be.
Figure out how to get my exercise in, especially on days when I have the kiddo. He's not too found of 5 mile hikes.
Also, 13 more pounds till my first 100 lost (since joining MFP).0 -
Wow, love everyone's goals. I'm one week out from surgery, so my goals are:
Sip enough protein and water
Walk 8,000 steps in a day by the end of the week.0 -
My goals for this week:
Increase my fluids/protein intake
Avoid becoming dehydrated
Talk to surgeon about pain
Walk without feeling excruciating pain (even if I have pain walk 3xs a day at least).

I have a scale victory, dammit. Yesterday, I weighed 100# less than my heaviest weight, (2 years ago).
I need to work on the basics, still.
Protein--Think I'm sensitive to whey. They 100%Whey isolate powder that I have makes my guts burn for an hour after drinking it. milk/yogurt does not affect me this way though, maybe it's the concentration of whey?
Water--I'm good mostly. Some days I can't keep more than a sip down without having reflux. Most days are good, as long as I keep to my 2-sip pattern.
Food--I need to start grocery shopping and preparing meals. I've fallen into a rut of deli meat for lunch and Wendy's chili for dinner (which nutritionally is a solid choice). Last week did not help as I was working 14 hour days.
Working out--No more 14 hour days at work, for now, so I have no excuse not to get my *kitten* moving. Also, I need to make it a point to leave my office for 5 minutes of every hour, just to move around, stretch, and get the blood flowing.0 -
YAAAAASSSSS, @anbrdr! Congratulations on your 100 lbs. mark!!
My goals for the week:
1. Get back on the committed exercise train. I've cut down to just a few days a week and don't like it. I feel like a slug but can't get myself motivated for some reason.
2. Water
3. Protein
4. Ignore the drama several people are trying to stir up around me. I'm over people and their petty issues interfering with my mood and my priorities.0 -
-Increase water intake (at least 4 cups a day)
-Water aerobics at least 3 times a week
-Increase calcium intake
-One more non-starch vegetable a day0 -
I need to get my protein intake up, and take my calcium supplements. I just bought unflavored protein powder to put into yogurts and soups, so I think that'll help some.0
-
Protein and water intake up. Go back to the GYM0
-
My goals for the week:
- Exercise - want to start incorporating planks, situps, etc. into my workout routine
- Water - slid a little bit with my water
- Food - time to mix it up with some new recipes
- Personal - incorporate in some more reading time to help reduce work stress
