Did I follow my diet today? much better now that I went grocery shopping yesterday, more spread out eating too which is better for me (3 meals, 3 snacks)
Did I drink enough water? yep def took care of that today!
Cardio: Aside from things around the house like dishes, laundry, baby; I also vac-ed, armoral-ed, and windex-ed my car! I also had to switch all the baby gear back into my car now that we're going back to work tomorrow :-(
Abs: 75 standing crunches
Challenge completed? also not the arms bah, does lifting a 20 something pound baby count? lol
Did I take my vitamin? I will before bed as usual!
How do I feel about my day? I soooooooooooooo don't want to go back to work tomorrow. The weather has SUCKED on our vacation and I'm sad we didn't get to do the things we wanted to, ie GO TO THE BEACH. It has rained nearly every day and the day it didn't we had other plans...sigh...argh! Oh well, it was so nice to have that much time off, I really needed it!! I'm going to miss the baby during the day so much...sucks...wish I could just stay home with her. I am pretty pumped that I managed to LOSE weight on vacation, that's a total win in my book. I'm really thinking about my goals...and clothes, lol. I NEED to get into a size 16/18 before it get's colder so I can fit into my old clothes, I know I can do it! Bring it FALL!0 -

Did I follow my diet today? I was doing great till I binged on chocolate! I just mustn't have it in the house! My eating in the last week does not bode well for the weigh in tomorrow...

How do I feel about my day? It was the last day of the boys holidays today and the weather was glorious! We did some bodyboarding at the beach and caught some sun and I got their uniforms ready for tomorrow! My older son is starting comp (secondary school) tomorrow, exciting! Lovely day, I was just so tired that I had no control over the part of me that craves chocolate...0 -
Hi, all . . . and Good-bye, all. 
It seems I've put myself in a bind by joining too many groups. I'm having a tough time getting all of the daily challenges done and daily check-ins. I'm a bit OCD and it's stressing me out waaay too much. It's been a hard decision for me because I like to finish what I start. Reality Check: I can't do it all. Ouch! That hurts.
I wish both of you much success on your journeys, and perhaps we'll meet up again in another group challenge. Thanks for having me while I lasted. Only my best to the two of you! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Sorry to see you go!! You are always welcome here :-) Good luck to you as well!!

How do I feel about my day? My day went well at work, feel really jipped on time with the baby being back at work, and she was so exhausted too tonight (she has two molars coming in and didn't sleep well during nap times). Gave her some tylenol to help so she was out early :-( Wish I could be with her all the time! On the other hand I LOST 2 LBS since last weigh in! I feel so good about it! I"m really going to be able to be back on track being at work too because my meals are more planned and it's very difficult to snack because I'm so busy. I'm hoping to get back into my pre baby jeans before her birthday! I might just throw them on quick to see how much further I need to go tomorrow.0 -

Did I take my vitamin? yep
How do I feel about my day? pretty irritated about how long I was at work, but, it's the nature of my job. I'm pretty pumped that I've gotten into the groove of eating the right foods and knowing that I'm still going to lose weight if I stick to my calorie goal.

Tracking and exercise is always what works for me.0 -

I need to spread out my cal intake a bit a feel, way to hungry when dinner comes and I feel like I'm gorging, but I'm really not, but I don't like to feel "starving" when it's time for dinner because that puts me in a bad way of thinking. I've been doing much better with snacking 2x a day, but didn't manage to do that today....0 -

Also, my best bud had her second daughter yesterday! So we ate quick and ran over to the hospital to go meet the new little addition! She is so adorable! Makes me want to have another, not that I didn't already, lol. My poor husband was like "you're going to be like, let's have another one now!!"

How do I feel about my day? Busy work day, really worried about my dog...he's got a growth on his chest, he's going to the doc tomorrow. But I got a good look at it and it's infected too because he's been constantly licking it. I'm hoping it's just lypoma and not cancer...I really don't think I could handle it if it's cancer....he's like my son! My husband and I adopted him right before we got married and it took me a while to even want a dog as I had to put my last dog down b/c of cancer...I hope he can just have surgery and be all better!0 -
Oh yah, and I'm wicked excited I lost another lb! I might get to my short term goal of getting 12 lbs off by my daughters birthday!! (10/4/13)0

9/19/13
Did I follow my diet today? under my calorie goal
Did I drink enough water? ya, I'm really thirsty because either my allergies are acting up or I have a cold
Cardio: some cleaning
Abs: nope
Challenge completed? only a 1/3 of it since I just did cleaning, gotta get those abs and arm curls in tomorrow
Did I take my vitamin? Ya my usual plus a 24 hr allergy pill, and my nasal spray. Hopefully that'll do that trick
How do I feel about my day? I have been sneezing ALL DAY....uh, I hope this is NOT a cold...So today my dog went in to get checked out. He's on antibiotics to help with the infection. I have gauze on the wound, wrapped with an ace bandage around his whole body, and the doc suggested he wear a t-shirt so he won't pull the ace bandage off. He actually complimented my wrap job (good ol first aid skills). He needs surgery to remove the growth and we also agreed to get a pathology report to see if it's cancerous. From what he saw and the fact that he is otherwise healthy he doesn't think it's cancer, but wants to be sure, and so do we. My poor boy...I'm so sad for him but I'm glad we're going to get him fixed up.0 -

I'm so happy that he's patched up. Just waiting on the pathology report now. But the vet feels that it'll come up fine. He's gotta be on antibiotics a little longer b/c he's got a skin infection on top of the other infection, but that's fine with me!!!0 -
