    Hi, Julie! Are we starting today? If so . . .

    Did I follow my diet today? [Yes, up until dinner, then I fell off about 133 calories.]
    Did I drink enough water? [No. I usually do very well with this, but not today. My focus was on spring cleaning.]
    Cardio: (what and how long) [No. Started mowing the lawn and got rained out BIGTIME.]
    Abs: (any ab work and how much) [Uh, negative.]
    Challenge completed? [?]
    Did I take my vitamin? [No. I should buy some. :blushing: ]
    How do I feel about my day? [Happy that my laundry room is clean and organized, but not so happy about my lack of exercise and "diet." If I get off MFP I can at least make it to bed for my 8 hours of sleep and that will make me happy. :happy: ]

    Name: [Pizazz]
    Date: [August 23, 2013]
    Starting weight: [190 lbs.]
    Last week's weight: [171 lbs.]
    This week's weight: [I usually weigh in on Mondays, so not sure yet.]
    Weight loss so far: [19 lbs. total since beginning MFP]
    What can I do to improve? [STAY FOCUSED on weightloss and what it takes to get there . . . even when spring cleaning, etc., and not get bummed out when I don't. :ohwell:]

    Did I follow my diet? yep! Under my cal goal
    Did i drink enough water? could use some more
    Cardio? Lots of walking today while shopping, and some laundry
    Abs? nah I need to do that!
    Did I do the challenge? I haven't posted a challenge yet, but I do have a challenge in a another group that I 1/2 followed
    Did I take my vitamin? Yes, both my multi and vit D I will take before I go to sleep
    How do I feel about my day? Today was so nice. I got to enjoy my time with my daughter this morning and play and snuggle! I went to my spa pedicure and manicure with my gift card I got from my husband and daughter for mother's day. It was so nice and I'm feeling pampered/prettier. I'm just looking forward to continuing to lose weight! I got on the scale today and I'm nearly 240, can't wait to get into the 230s and keep going. I just have to KEEP GOING to get to my goal!! I hope more people join my group so I can have others to help keep my motivated. Having more members makes me think more about being responsible for the group and therefore my weight loss!

    Check in today: 8/25/13
    Did I follow my diet? yep! Under my cal goal
    Did i drink enough water? nah, did good today
    Cardio? Lots of walking today, TONS of laundry/cleaning
    Abs? nah I need to do that!
    Did I do the challenge? 1/2, gotta do those crunches before bed
    Did I take my vitamin? Yes, both my multi and vit D I will take before I go to sleep
    How do I feel about my day? I did a TON of laundry today. I want there to be next to NO laundry when we leave to go to Cape Cod. I have some more to do around the house to clean up. And next week the hubby and I are gonna PURGE the house to get rid of stuff. He also has some incentive to clean out the garage and I will be MORE than happy to help him b/c it hasn't been clean for years. My goal is to clean out the porch. I love the fall and like to sit out their to read and drink tea. I'm thinking it would also be a good exercise room, it's so cool in the fall and winter, it'd be comfortable! I'm pumped for our championship game tomorrow for softball can't wait!

    Did I follow my diet today? eh, I was still under my calorie goal...but I had pizza and beer after our game last night
    Did I drink enough water? could had more
    Cardio: (what and how long) yes softball!
    Abs: (any ab work and how much) I'm sure some core work was done during softball, but no
    Challenge completed? 1/2
    Did I take my vitamin? always! Multi vit and vit d
    How do I feel about my day? Awesome day! My softball team won the championship!! It was a great! I'm gonna miss my team though, it's my Monday night routine. We're just a bunch of misfits that happened to play really well together. We don't have any "power hitters" or anyone that is spectacular, we just work well together as a TEAM. It'll be fun to play with them again next year. Went out to the bar we play for after the game and the bar bought us pizzas and one of the guys bought a round of beer. Haven't done that for a long time (momma duties keep me home most of the time). Great day!! But not that softball is over I'm going to have to get on the stationary bike as a replacement and buckle down and do the challenges more diligently.

    Thanks for posting everyone!! KEEP IT UP!!

    Did I follow my diet? I was so close, but I still had some biscuits around that my son had made and I had to either bin them or eat them...
    Did i drink enough water? I am approaching 10 cups! Yay!
    Cardio? Couch 2 5k week 2, Insanity, and I did my son's rugby training circuit with him...
    Abs? A few crunches, but not quite enough!
    Did I take my vitamin? Yes!
    How do I feel about my day? OK, I feel so exhausted now and I really shouldn't have weighed myself this evening, it is always so disappointing to find no change!

    How do I feel about my day? Went into Falmouth today and had a great lunch at a British pub by the ocean. Walked up and down the beach, it was the first time the baby saw the ocean!!! The weather had been crappier earlier so we were not prepared but I got her to the water and she wanted to go right in!! No fear just like her mama!! She really kept me busy today. I got to see my uncle who is in hospice, he was having a good day today so he was happy to see all of us. Going to the beach tomorrow prepared and can't wait to get the baby in the water! And me in the water!!!
