Welcome to the boards Inmyshoes and Sgirl29.
I love this board. Simone created it and we all followed in. Its because of the friends I've met here that I've continued every day. Some days I don't meet all my challenges but I'm honest and it helps me see it in black and white!!
Hope you love us too

Evening all, my day is nearly done and I won't be able to get on here until tomorrow evening so here goes.....
My goals for today.
1. Get some work trousers - got some but they are a bit too small!
2. Exercise for at least one hour - yep, exercise bike and dance!
3. Eat healthily and say NO to anything that may tempt me to eat more of - I have tried to eat the best I can and have not given in to temptation.......
My goals for tomorrow are:
1. Stay within my calories. It's my first day back at work and they are putting a lunch on, don't know what it is but I am guessing it won't be healthy so i'll do my best to make the right choices.
2. Keep my fluids up.
3. Try and have more confidence for my first day back.
I'm not quite sure what to expect on my first day back but I hope to be able to do some exercise when I get home.
Keep up the good work everyone!0 -

It's very kind of you to say so, but it wasn't me that started this group, it was Nicole!!!!!
Just don't want to take credit for something I didn't do, although I wish I had!!!!0 -
I missed the mark on doing the shred today. I started the video and couldn't get through the warm up. I was over heating. Tomorrow I do Zumba in the morning, so I won't be able to shred now until Thursday
I hope to feel better by then. I have no appetite or energy right now. So I sorta completed goal three. I definitely knocked the second goal out the park. All I did was rest, but yet, I still feel tired and sluggish.
Nicole, congrats are in order for meeting Monday's goals. you had quite a few of them.And double congrats on the THON interview. You sound so passion about the cause, I know you will knock their socks off in the interview. Your goals for today sound reasonable. I hope you get it all done.
Inmyshoes, thanks for joining. I love your goals. I haven't been back to spin class since my surgery. Although I got the thumbs up from my doctor, I'm still a little relunctant. It's a great workout, have a good time.
Sgirl, your daily goals sound attainable. Do you workout at the gym or at home? Hope you're able to stay within your calories and drink your water. Thanks for checking in.
Sharon, don't beat yourself up about logging your water. At least you were drinking it. Its not like you logged water, but didn't drink any..that'd be a different story. I really have to fold and put away my laundry. I'm just feeling really icky today. I don't think you hate yourself. You are making a commitment to yourself and its about trial and error. You have to figure out how to intergrate eating right and working out into your busy schedule. Once you find a routine that works for you, you'll be able to do it in your sleep.
HOPE YOU GET THE INTERVIEW!0 -
Nicole, I see there's an edit function now. I don't know if you had anything to do with that or not! Maybe it was just a clitch in the programming or something. But anyway, glad its there now.
Simone, how was your first day at work? Did you find the confidenece to make it a successful first day? Were you able to workout afterwards?0 -

1) Take my vitamins...I hate them.
2.)get all my water in
3) Keep up with the smiles...it really does help
.
Ok well I got 2 and 3 done, and most of one...I forgot my vitamins last night all it was is another calcium but I got the majority of them down. I came home and was so exhausted I could barely hold my head up. I even for got a med that I should not forget...Uhh ohh, gonna have to ask my Dr how that works if I forget anighttime dose.
Anyway goals for today
1) do my C25K W1D2
2)again get all my vits down
3)again all my water
4) and remember that the scale staying the same is not a bad thing and my body is just trying to catch up
Congrats to all who met their goals. For those who didnt..rember that is why they are goals, we try and reach them and if we dont we just try again until we do. In a few weeks I may be able to remember everyone , please bear with me as I get more involved here.0 -
Good morning everyone!!
Welcome new members! It's great to have you!!
Thanks for all the congrats on the interview! I'm so nervous and it's not even until tomorrow! I'm hoping to hit up a few of my friends that have been captains before for interview tips.
Sharon-- good luck on your interview search! Let us know how it goes! And I'm glad this board helps and that it does good for someone other than me!!
Leelawatson-- good luck with your Zumba today and I hope you feel better. Try not to push yourself too much if your body is exhausted!!
Good luck to everyone else with their goals! Have a good day.
Yesterday I made it to the gym for 40 mins. It was an exhausting day where I left my room at 9:30 and didn't come back until 8:40pm but it was sooo worth it. I got a ton of reading done in between classes outside under a nice tree. It was so beautiful out. And I went to bed right after Covert Affairs, because of course I couldn't miss my weekly dose of Auggie. lol. (If you haven't watched that show yet and you have time, do it!)
Todays goals:
1. Hit the gym for at least an hour. (I won't be able to go tomorrow).
2. Watch my sodium intake (worst weakness. I love salt and salty foods and am always thousands of mgs over).
3. Get my room cleaned up and dishes done. (I've been slacking).0 -
I'm joining
Tuesday's Goals:
1. Spin Class
2. Finish grad course weekly readings
3. Clean bathroom!
Yesterday I went to spin class, cleaned the bathrooms, and finished 2/4 chapters for my grad weekly readings. So I didn't quite meet my goals 100%.
Wednesday Goals:
1. FINISH the last 2 chapters of grad weekly readings
2. 60 min cardio at the gym
3. Clean kitchen and vacuum0 -

-
Sorry I'm getting on so late. I haven't been feeling well.
My Wednesday's goals are:
1. eat more-- I know that sounds odd, but the last few days I have been eating under 1000 calories because I haven't been feeling well.
2. exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes, lofty, but I need to get in some type of physical activity.
3. stay hydrated. It hasn't been really hot lately and I haven't been drinking as much water or fluids that I need to being under the weather.0 -
crazybxrmom, how do you like that running program? where do you sign up? I was interested in just starting slow with the 5k. Any information you have to help get me started would be great!
Nicole, glad you had a productive day yesterday. It would be good if you can get a head's up on the interview. Like what type of questions they will ask. I know you will be prepared. Just be honest and speak from the heart! Let your confidence shine!
I didn't make it to Zumba this morning. I was feeling so light headed and dizzy. If I'm feeling better this evening, I will try to go to the gym, even if its just to do the treadmill or elliptical for 30 minutes.
inmyshoes, great job on carrying over a goal from yesterday and getting most of them accomplished.
debieanne- even if you can't come on the board everyday to list your 3 goals, maybe you can get a post-it note and put it on the fridge or on the bathroom mirror. Somewhere where you will definitely see it. Don't forget to recap your goal from the previous day and to write a new post it everyday!0 -
Good evening everyone....right, for today's goals.....1. Stay within my calories. It's my first day back at work and they are putting a lunch on, don't know what it is but I am guessing it won't be healthy so i'll do my best to make the right choices.
2. Keep my fluids up.
3. Try and have more confidence for my first day back.
1. I stayed within my calories today. I didn't have any of the free lunch provided and ended up having a sandwich from a sandwich shop but it had the calories on it.
2. I kept my fluids up by taking a bottle of water to work and filling it up regularly.
3. I tried to have more confidence but I am still so shy! I don't know how to get more confidence.
Goals for tomorrow.
1. Take a packed lunch to work so I am not tempted to eat anything not calorie counted.
2. Do level 3 shred.
3. Drink lots of water.
Leela, I hope you are feeling better now?
I am glad to see that everyone is doing so well! Keep up the good work!0 -
ohh count me in, thanks for showing me the way! my first day on this site today and my 3 goals for tomorrow are:-
drink 2 litres of water
log and stay within cals
do a little exercise 0 -
Simone- I am feeling better, thanks for asking. Not 100 per cent yet, but I'm getting there.
Chris- welcome! thanks for stopping by. Good luck on meeting your daily goals.My Wednesday's goals are:
1. eat more-- I know that sounds odd, but the last few days I have been eating under 1000 calories because I haven't been feeling well.
2. exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes, lofty, but I need to get in some type of physical activity.
3. stay hydrated. It hasn't been really hot lately and I haven't been drinking as much water or fluids that I need to being under the weather.
1. I only had 966 calories, I couldn't eat another bite. But it is more than I ate Tuesday, so I consider it as an accomplishment.
2. I was able to workout for 36 minutes. I felt hot and stopped before it was accompanied by dizziness.
3. I tried to drink more water. I know I filled up my (24 oz) water bottle atleast twice.
I'll post tomorrow's goals now:
Thursday's goals:
1. No diet soda, I haven't had a diet soda all week. I'd like to continue this trend for the rest of the week.
2. Get in my workout early before any distractions.
3. Prepare a big salad for 2 or 3 servings, so I don't have to cut up each ingredient everytime I want a serving of salad.0 -
Welcome chriscuts! Good to have you!
Good morning everyone!! I discovered I'm out of breakfast food so I'm short on time today so I can go to the commons for breakfast.
Goals from yesterday:
1. Make it to the gym! -- Did this. I always feel so good afterwards.
2. Stay low on sodium-- tried to do this and did better than usual. Can't say I did amazing though.
3. Clean room and do dishes-- didn't get to do this. For some reason I got home after dinner at 6 and my body just gave out on me. I felt so exhausted and week so I curled up in bed with Eat, Pray, Love and was asleep by 7. Feeling a little better today but not amazing. I'm just praying I make it through to my interview.
Today's goals:
1. Eat slightly more calories than my food diaries say... just to be sure the weakness isn't from not eating enough. It shouldn't be because I'm eating around 1200-1300 a day which is what my journal says to do but since I'm walking a little bit more now I can up it without putting weight back on so why not give it a shot.
2. Vitamin C! I cannot afford to be sick right now.
3. Be confident and ready for my THON interview tonight! My nervousness always gets the best of me.
Have a good day everyone!0 -
Yesterday's Goals:
1. FINISH the last 2 chapters of grad weekly readings - DONE
2. 60 min cardio at the gym - DONE (30min stepper, 20min elliptical, 45min run)
3. Clean kitchen and vacuum - DONE
Today's Goals:
1. 30 min cardio + spin class
2. Begin 20 page essay (1-2 pages.... it isn't due for a few weeks)
3. Respond to weekly discussion board / post response for one of my grad classes0 -
I love this idea! I always do weekly/monthly goals.. but DxD is even better!
Today..
1. I want to drink lots of water! 4-5 water bottles
2. Stay up with my calories, so far I haven't gone over at all this week
3. Do 200 crunches at the gym, after 30 mins of cardio. I'm up to around 175 total, I think I can manage 200.
Good luck today everyone!0 -
PSUgrl921.... I'm the same way with sodium. I am always *way* over. Once my weightloss stops then I think I'll take a closer look at it and actually try and stay under. But usually I'm at least 500-1000 a day over...0

Good afternoon ladies. I hope you are all having a good day so far.
I failed on today's goals.......1. Take a packed lunch to work so I am not tempted to eat anything not calorie counted - I took a packed lunch but couldn't eat it because everyone went across to the other building at work for the lunch that was provided. The only food there was lasagne so I had some vegetarian lasagne and salad. It was ok but I had to guess the calories for it.
2. Do level 3 shred - too tired to do anything but I will do it tomorrow! Because of this, I am staying within my 1200 cals.
3. Drink lots of water - I did this!
I will keep the same goals for tomorrow and hopefully be able to stick to them this time!0 -
Hi:) My name is Beth. I'm gonna join this one cause its one I think I can stick too:) I'm a Homemaker so I have all day to do everything I need to do.
I have already done one of my goals for today so here there are.
1. Go for a walk with a friend.
2. Do laundry.(I have to walk up and down a flight of stairs with every load:) makes it worth the effort trying to lose the weight)
3. Organize the sewing rooom. ( not weight related but I might be able to get some down today)
I've already gone for a walk with a friend and its the middle of the afternoon for me. This should be easier for me to keep up with cause I need small goals instead of looking at the big goal I'm heading for.
I look forward to getting to know you guys a little better too:) More support is what I think I need.0 -
:flowerforyou: good afternoon how is everyone today i did all my water yesterday i think after a week i am getting back on track can't believe ist's already 1:43 p.m. wered id this day go. to anyone not feeling good i hope tommorw will be a better day for yous.ok need to get ready for the school buses to bring the children home debi0

Hello, I'm Mary Ann.
My three goals: 1) count all my calories, 2) Walk for one hour, 3) not stress0 -
H everyone! I see we have some new faces. So I decided to jump on to say hello!
Hi Beth, welcome. Great goals, they don't always have to be related to weight loss. If you've read back on some of the posts, you'll see we set goals to buy trousers for work, read a chapter in a book, etc. One of my goals last week was to clean out my car. Glad you were able to complete them all. Nice way of looking at laundry as getting in a mini workout. I've been slacking on my laundry because I was under the weather the last few days.
Deb, wtg on getting your water in! I still have a little ways before my daughter gets off the bus. I am feeling better, thanks for asking. I hope to make completely back to normal on Friday.
Hey Mary Ann, thanks for stopping by. I see that you've joined in May and this is your first post. I'm honored! Nicole was nice enough to think up this idea. So I'm glad you jumped in to set up 3 mini goals for yourself. They sound reasonable. Try to stop back tomorrow to let us know if you made it.
I'll stop in tomorrow! have a great night.0 -
Thursday's goals:
1. No diet soda, I haven't had a diet soda all week. I'd like to continue this trend for the rest of the week.
2. Get in my workout early before any distractions.
3. Prepare a big salad for 2 or 3 servings, so I don't have to cut up each ingredient everytime I want a serving of salad.
I still haven't had a soda. I miss it, but not really. I did my workout this morning, only 25 minutes, but its about quality, not quantity. I did make extra salad. I cut up the whole head of lettuce.
Friday's goals:
1. Complete shred after my daughter gets on the bus. I haven't completed a whole shred since Monday. I really want to get it done so I can move on to level 3.
2. Bake a few pounds of chicken breast and then freeze it. It will make it easier to unthaw when I'm in a crunch and that way I won't have to keep turning the oven on and making the house hot everytime someoone wants some chicken!
3. Continue to eat more fiber to keep myself full longer.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I may have to post my Saturday and Sunday goals together Friday evening and then come on Monday to say if I reached them.0
