  • To be honest, I am embarrassed to show my face around here anymore. I have tried this post so many times and haven't stuck with it. I want to this time. I really want it to work for me. I have been a member of this site for over a year and don't have much to show for it. I don't really know what's wrong with me except that I need a big kick in the butt!! So here I go...trying it again. I don't know if I will be able to post on this thread everyday because I don't have a home computer. But the days I work, I should be here.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Didn't track

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't set one

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? nothing at all. Didn't make very good choices.

    What would I have done differently? Tracked my food, exercise, drank all my water...you name it, I should've done it.

    What is today's personal goals? Drink all my water. Stay w/in my calories.

    You can't quit this post - You started it :bigsmile: If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be doing this... I've been slacking so bad this summer. I am ready to get back tracking calories and making better choices. I haven't been posting everyday either. Lets get back on track!!! :drinker: Hope to see you here a couple of times a week :flowerforyou:
  • Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No. I learned a valuable lesson @ dinner. I ate a "regular" meal at my parents' house and it was over 750 calories (BBQ Chicken, Baked Potato w/ Light Sour Cream & Butter, green beans w/ butter, small glass of red wine). I need to learn when I'm there to cut things in half. Do not let my dad dish my plate!

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes & No. Did not stay in my calories, but did drink my water.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Even though I was really bummed about going so far over and I just felt like giving up, I went for a 3 mile walk.

    What would I have done differently? Cut my dinner portion in half.

    What is today's personal goals? Drink all my water. Stay w/in my calories.

    exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) - 1/7 (Mon: Walk)

    Good Morning!! I seem to be in the same boat! Not dedicating myself to this task. I am leasrning that if I don't focus, the weight will most certainly creep back on!:sad: So, Longnecker and Gold K, I'm on board. I'm excited that we all have reached this point of motivation together. LET'S DO IT! :drinker: :drinker: Before I read your posts I committed to tracking calories again so here we go!

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? I did, AND I know it!

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yep, tracked calories and exercised.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Started week 2 of C2K5

    What would I have done differently? drank more water

    What is today's personal goals? Walk and track calories and WATER!

    exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) - 1/5 days of exercise

    Monday weigh in - (OUCH) 138.4 I told you it was creeping up!
  • Good to see ya Hoosiermomma! I agree, we've seemed to hit this wall at the same time. But we can break through it together. Before I make a bad decision to eat something I shouldn't or slack on exercising...I'll have to remember that I'll have to fess up when I post here. That should keep me on the straight & narrow.

    Woohoo!!!:flowerforyou: :drinker:
  • Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Doubt it...didn't track.

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Hadn't set one. I'm realizing how important this is. Setting a goal helps me stay focused.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Ate less at the Indian Buffet than what I normally do.

    What would I have done differently? Tried my best to track the Indian food. When I didn't know how to track that, I just gave up for the day. Can't keep doing that, because I'm not gonna stop eating there.

    What is today's personal goals? Track every bite. Going to a fair with friends so send your will-power vibes my way :-)

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Did not do that

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Lots of walking downtown Chicago and split meals at the restaurant.

    What would I have done differently? skipped a few snack and ate some real food when I was hungry
