What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Spent the afternoon with my sister
What would I have done differently? UGH - this weekend wasn't my best as far as eating. Saturday night I went to my brother in-law's 50th bday party. I'm pretty sure I grazed the entire time. Today is a new day and I had a good week last week - worked out 5 days. I'm enjoying Zumba on Saturday mornings.

I just wanted to thank all of you for your support during my goal of losing weight before my vacation.
I am going to Jamaica 20 pounds lighter and looking much better in my bathing suit. :happy:

I didn't do Zumba on Saturday. I didn't do the Zumbathon Saturday afternoon. No walk... no tracking. I'm not sure how I expect things to change if I don't make the change. I need to track... track everything and be accountable. Focus on controlling food/eating this week. Keep portions under control (and this includes the weekend too).
That is my goal for the week. :flowerforyou:

Hi Gals! I am going to check in with you at least once a week, so am setting a spring goal and weekly exercise goals.
Goldk - don't be so hard on yourself, you have had a tough couple of months, just try to concentrate on one or two things that you really want to change this week - maybe tracking and measuring? My goal this week is to get in some activity (like a walk, or stationary bike) on my non-YMCA days.
March 30-April 5
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? some days yes, some days no
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? didn't do as well as I hoped with food on our weekend mini-spring break in Wisc. Dells, but I walked a ton ... 17,000 steps on Saturday with doing nothing extra except walking around our hotel to and from the waterparks and othe actvities
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I tried ZIPLINING at the dells. I was uncomfortable trying it because of my weight and age ... and I am VERY, VERY, VERY afraid of heights .... but I DID IT ANYWAY!!!! So that my 13yo would have someone to do it with him. He was pretty scared too, but we both enjoyed it. I would have to say that jumping off the towers was really, really hard for me after the first one. The first one not so much because I was more worried about my son doing it, but on the 2nd jump off I was pretty comical - I would sway forward, then back, then forward, and back ... and finally dragged my one foot as I reluctantly jumped off. But I MADE it, and it was fun!
What would I have done differently? Had more self-control last night.

Hello ladies,
I just got back last night and had a wonderful week in Jamaica.
I am not getting on the scale as yet, got to get rid of the water retention first then on the
scale and back to Phase 1 for two weeks to get rid of the vacation weight. :bigsmile:
No exercise today doing laundry and getting groceries because nothing in the house.
I will start back next week with the rest of you.

Hi there decided to join this message board as it may work for me. Have just connected back with Fitpal after some time away , so will be checking in everyday
Aim is to get my eating habits back on track & lose some weight and get back my fitness along the way I have really let things slip - I have just submitted my PhD last week after many years completing it whilst also working, raising a family etc, and think I used the stress of the last few weeks to go off track. I generally manage to get back to a steady weight but this is always 5 or so kilos more than I want to be.
For me it will be an Autumn check in -as I an in the soutehr hemisphere; good motivation is to fit back into ski-pants which I am sure are too snug now
really like the questions to answer - forgot to copy over but will tomorrow
My personal achievement today was getting back into fitpal and taking the dog for an early morning run (used to do daily but another thing that has slipped recently.
Thanks for the motivation guys!0 -

Well this is a new week. I have to get off my vacation weight now which was 3 pounds.
Unfortunately, last night was dinner out with my MIL for her b-day and even though I
tried to be conservative with my meal plan, I did go over on calories. New day,
new week, I will get down to business. Good luck this week to everyone !

Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? I did reach my goal until dinner happened.
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Celebrated my MIL's b-day she is 88.
What would I have done differently? Tried to stay under my dinner calories.
What is today's personal goals? Back on track, logging and lots of water.
