    My September goal is to stop f*cking around and actually take this seriously! [/b]

    Thats could be another september challenge :D Cause thats my problem also!!!!

    Haha stop f*cking around Joan!

    I need to stop this as well! When I stepped on the scale this morning it turns out that I gained back the 10 lbs that I had lost a few months ago. It is seriously depressing so its time to get back in the saddle for real this time!

    It's absolutely gorgeous out today so I am going to go for a walk when I finally start a load of laundry(Dad put one in about 10 minutes before I got to the house even though he knew I was coming up with the exact purpose of doing laundry :D He does this every week!) I'm going to walk about 3 miles I think. To Wawa and back. Going to get a cup of water and a cup of coffee I think. I haven't done much walking in the last few months. I think I need to start getting back into it. I really enjoy it!

    Okay, off I go to start a load of laundry and take a nice walk! Have a great afternoon!

    My goal for September is 190. I'm 203 today, at least I think so because I haven't weighed in a week. My weigh in day is Monday.

    I wanted to walk beyond 30 minutes today, but my back and my knee were not cooperating. But I got 30 minutes done so at least there is that.
    I've got to rein in my sodium - I am exceeding it almost every day. I don't eat a lot of processed food, but I'm going to look at my diary and figure out what I am doing that is kicking it up.
    My real intent today is to watch football with my husband. I want to relax a bit, because all week long I have been so busy.

    All good Mary! Thanks for checking. Just moving out of our apartment and keep going over deadlines, things popping up, physically exhausted. But weve got an awesome landlord who is cutting us a break and giving us extra time and I'm so grateful for that! Thanks again for checking, it means a lot :)

    Wedding yesterday was awesome, super fun. It was a British-Indian wedding and there was lots of entertainment, including Bollywood dancing for the guests which was great. Unfortunately someone stood on my toe during this dancing and now I can't walk without pain... Which is going to prevent me going for a run today.... But it was great!

    - Log everything I eat :smile: Probably way off though as it was a buffet sharing affair and I have no idea really what I ate!
    - Eat sensible portions, no snacking outside courses :neutral: I took more than I should have done for starter/main but then skipped dessert
    - Eat slowly and mindfully :/
    - 4 bottles water :smile:
    - Do workout DVD :smile:
    - Monthly goals :smile:


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Make and stick to food plan
    - Eat slowly and mindfully
    - Be in the green
    - 4 bottles water
    - No alcohol
    - 5+ fruit/veg
    - Exercise DVD
    - Meditate
    - Duolingo & French book
    - Lights out by 10.45

    JFT - Sunday Sept 2
    2L of Water
    Calories in Green by 150
    Outside 15 Minutes
    Only 1 Evening Snack
    Walk if weather permits
    Write in Journal
    Finish craft room
    Laundry?

    I am invited to a flash mob surprise proposal today for one of my daughters friends. I really feel I should go to support him, but I’m wanting to just take my day to do my stuff. Haven’t decided yet.

    In cleaning the craft room I found things that I would rather have in my hope chest, my hope chest was packed full. So I ended up spending 4 hours on that yesterday and not getting my craft room done. I was going to finish the craft room as soon as I finished posting here, but hubby just went to have a nap so can’t do that.

    I guess I’ll go get groceries now instead.

    Well I totally engorged myself on terrible food last night. Definitely not the best thing for me. I got a little aggravated with the DH late last night too. He was having a great time with his friend playing a hysterical video game online and was laughing like a hyena. I found it incredibly annoying. Lol. Although the game was really funny to watch.

    I have the house to myself for the evening. I have a bunch of things I have to do because I did nothing last night.

    I'm usually pretty good about fruits and veggies. My problem is consistency. I need to get back into the habit of eating properly and actually exercising. Maybe I'll go to the gym today.

    Anyway, onto my goals

    1. Log EVERYTHING I eat. And I mean everything. No matter how embarrassed or shame-filled I feel! :(All I did all day was munch! I have no idea what I even ate! It was terrible! But today! Today will be different!
    2. Clean the living room :)Kind of. I did a quick clean. Think I may do a deeper one today.
    3. Laundry! :)I think I have one more full load left to do. I got a whole bunch of new clothes the other day(thank you Thredup!) and they all need to be washed.
    4. Fold and hang clothing >:)Going to do this today! Probably in about a half an hour! I'm tired of my work clothes being all wrinkled!
    5. START BUDGET! :DI printed out the papers...does that count? Although I did figure out why my color ink in my printer wasn't working...I never took the tab off the back of it before I put it in
    6. Prep salad for the week!! :sDoing that today as well!
    7. Cook something for dinner tonight! :DMade quinoa for the first time. It was actually really good but the box I used said that one serving was 270 calories and I ate 2...
    8. Bed at a reasonable hour :|Is 1am a reasonable hour?

    So yeah...yesterday was a bust. Although I did go for a walk. But I lost my Misfit Shine disk. It's the thing that records my steps and things. It makes me really sad. I have NO idea where it fell off. Somewhere on my 3.5-mile walk. It can pop out because you can change it from a wristwatch thing to a little clip that can but put anywhere. I'm going to look into getting a new one. We got ours for $15 because they were out of stock when we ordered it so they gave us a steep discount. We had to wait a week before it shipped. I'm hoping that maybe I can get something like that again.

    I feel like I have just been a slob lately. I haven't been doing anything at all. Other then yesterdays walk I have done pretty much no exercise in the last like 3 weeks. I really need to start moving again! I actually get an amazing amount of steps in at work though. The copier, bathroom, and kitchen are all the way across the building and I visit each several times a day. But I need to do more moving than that. Like intentional exercise. I still have my gym membership and I can still walk to Wawa and back(about 3.5 miles) and the DH and I both have bikes and a park around the corner from us. So there are plenty of opportunities to get exercise in I just have been so lazy!

    So today I am going to make the declaration that I will do some kind of intentional movement 4x a week this month!

    Okay, enough blabbering! Onto goals!

    1. Seriously log all food! Doesnt matter what it is! Keep yourself accountable!
    2. Finish laundry
    3. Fold and hang clothes!
    4. Walmart for kcups and hangers!
    5. Take out trash
    6. DISHES!!!!!
    7. Cut up veggies
    8. Make dinner!
    9. Start Budget!!!
    10. Bed at a reasonable time!
