    2. Serve myself a small portion for dinner to start with (allowed to go back for seconds only if I am still hungry)
    3. Go for a 30 minute run after work, unless it's pouring with rain, in which case do 100 reps of a mix of crunches, squats, lunges and pushups.

    So Goals for Tuesday
    1. Find an oral surgery center that is cover by insurance and schedule an appointment pronto.

    2. Drink plenty of water.

    3. Rest with all the pain that is goin on in my mouth right now.

    Got everything done for today.

    Leela, She couldn't pull the tooth because even after I was numb I could still feel what she was doing and it sent a shooting pain through my jaw. My tooth is so infected that the novicaine (sp?) didn't work like it should have. So I need to go to an oral surgeon so they can put me under while they do it.

    Tomorrow's goals:

    1. Do laundry while it's nice enough outside to hang them up on the clothesline to dry:) Mini workout and saves money!

    2. Do dishes

    3. Drink plenty of water


    That's it for me until sometime tomorrow afternoon.
  • been meaning to post on this daily, but still finding my way around this site! Day 6 for me, and still as motivated as day 1. my goals have been the same each day.

    1. to log all food
    2. to drink 2 litres of water
    3. to do 30 mins of exercise 5 days a week

    apart from drinking all that water, I manage it sometimes but not every day if I'mhonest, the rest I'm doing! The exercise I'm finding easier each session, and look forward to upping the intensity.

    Wednesday weigh in, and lost 3lbs this week! logged all food, still didnt get to 2 litres of water every day tho. did 30 mins of exercise 5 days last week, and aint had any booze since sunday........still motivated,....on to week 2!

    2. Do 30 minutes at least of Zumba. Unless it's too confusing then I will find another cardio exercise ;D

    3. Eat 4-6 servings of vegies. I've been slacking off majorly this week!

    A warm welcome to all the new people. I don't have much time right now, but I will write to each of you later.

    Wednesday's goals:
    1. Go to Zumba. I missed last Wed because I was sick and Sun because the gym was closed.
    2. Enjoy fun foods, but balance it out with healthy foods and more exercise.
    3. Don't obsess over the scale. My body feels great, I don't need to scale to disagree with me.

    Welcome Welcome Welcome everyone! I'm so glad we are gaining members still.

    So goals from yesterday.

    Gym: I made it there. I could only do a half hour though before my body told me to stop. Feeling a bit better today so hopefully I'll be able to go for the usual hour.
    Fruits and Veggies: Did this!! I had fruit with lunch and a salad for dinner! Was so proud of myself.
    Appreciate life: Did this ... and even took some time for myself. I sat outside and read some more of Eat, Pray, Love instead of school work.

    Goals for today:
    1. Laundry! I got two loads done yesterday so I have two to go!
    2. Gym! Try to hit for the full hour today.
    3. Take some time for myself and enjoy life a little bit between all the studying. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!!

    Have a good one everyone!!

    Nicole

    Afternoon all! Hope everyone is having a great day.

    So for my Tuesday goals I managed to achieve them! Yiipppppeeee!

    1. Choose a sensible lunch as I will be out so can't take any food from home - did this and kept the calories down and got some greens in as well!
    2. Leave work on time so I can go to my legs bums and tums class in the evening - there was a tube strike on so almost didn't make it...but I did!
    3. Go to my class even if I'm feeling tired - was exhausted but made it through the class.

    My goals for today (even though the day is almost finished) are:

    1. Rest! Am feeling exhausted after working out every day with no rest days in between for 8 days and definitely don't want to get sick. There are so many bugs going around at the moment.
    2. No exercise today so keep within my regular cals and log everything.
    3. Water water water! I definitely don't drink enough!

    Have a good day! x

    Emma, did you get a chance to do Zumba? do you do the videos or a class? I go to Zumba on Wednesdays and its a lot of fun. There were about 15 laides in class today, so I love to feed of their energy. Our instructor is very energetic too. It's great!
    Wednesday's goals:
    1. Go to Zumba. I missed last Wed because I was sick and Sun because the gym was closed.
    2. Enjoy fun foods, but balance it out with healthy foods and more exercise.
    3. Don't obsess over the scale. My body feels great, I don't need to scale to disagree with me.

    1. yes
    2. yes
    3. no, my replacement scale came in the mail today and I couldn't help but step on it.

    I'm still thinking of Thursday's goals. Just wanted to bump us up!

    Morning all!

    So I was pretty terrible with my goals yesterday. Think I was having a bit of an off day but I guess we all have those once in a while.

    Had to go out to see a client in the evening and didn't get home until gone 10pm so it was a loooonng day! Tried to hard to keep within my calories but went over by 87 calories. Not a disaster but still a bit disappointing. I tried with the water but don't think I got enough in.

    So today is another day and a fresh start...

    1. Keep within my calories - no excuses.
    2. Get to the gym class tonight and try and do Shred.
    3. At least 2litres of water (excluding what I have at the gym).

    Everyone is doing so well! Keep it up!

    Nam x

    I usually have a high fiber cereal with berries, and a banana along with 4 oz of orange juice.
    I dropped the banana and added a hard boiled egg. I must say, I was really not hungry at all until lunch I guess the protein lasts longer.

    Goals for today:

    1. Add more running to my walk( push myself to keep going )
    2.Empty out laundry basket, get all laundry done today
    3.wii fit, 30 minutes of free run

    Morning All! It's nice and sunny here in London which makes a change to the pouring rain that we've been having!

    Managed to keep within my calories yesterday and got to the gym which I was pleased about. Could probably have done with some more water but will work on that today. So my goals for today are:

    1. Gym tonight - 60 mins of Cardio.
    2. Water and lots of it!
    3. Don't get tempted into going out tonight which would only result in booze and potentially going over my calories!

    Happy Friday! So glad it's the weekend tomorrow! Hope you all have a good day. x:flowerforyou:

    2. Becky, I love the smaller portions, so I'm going to piggie back off your goal! :)
    3. Eat later in the morning. I'll have cereal at 7am and hungry again by 11 and I usually eat lunch around 12. I will try to wait to eat around 8.

    1. I found a new recipe, but haven't tried it.
    2. I did eat smaller portions, and didn't go back for seconds.
    3. I did eat closer to 8, so that worked out great.


    Friday's goals:
    1. Manage my calories. I know I am going to eat a great deal of them for breakfast since I am going out with my husband.
    2. Start cleaning the basement. Section by section, it may take me all weekend to do.
    3. Drink plenty of water. The last few days I've been slacking on water.
    4. Shred. I'm a little sore from basketball and rowing yesterday, but I have to shred.

    Good morning!

    Goals from yesterday:
    1. Gym for a half hour: done.
    2. Save some calories: Definitely failed miserably here AND I drank way more than I planned last night. Birthdays get me every time. Needless to say I feel like crap today.
    3. Water-- did this... but I'm sure I'm dehydrated because of the alcohol.

    Today:
    1. Gym... hardcore.
    2. Water!
    3. Get some work done.

    Have a good day everyone!

    Did better on the water:) Didn't finish laundry but have been working on it. Caught up on my show!!:)

    Friday is almost over but have done the one big thing I planned on doing today. I went for a walk with a friend and it was a 2.5 mile walk. Finished it in under an hour.

    Don't know if I'll make it on here all weekend so I'll post goals for the weekend.

    1. Drink plenty of water.

    2. Work on cleaning bedroom.

    3. Clean livingroom.

    4. DUST, I didn't realize how dusty this house was until little hands moved it around.

    5. Go for a walk at the riverwalk again. It felt good to walk the whole 2.5 miles and I wanna keep that up.

    Think that's reall all there is. Hope you all have a good weekend.
