Hi all hope you're all having a good day. Haven't posted for a couple of days but have done fairly well with exercising and keeping my calories in check. Have a ball to go to tonight so will log food but know I'm going to go over cals - am going to need some wine to calm my nerves about wearing a dress and everyone seeing me having lost some weight.
I planned my Friday's goals but didn't get a chance to post them until now:
1. Training before work - already done this.
2. Try not to stress too much about wearing the dress tonight.
3. Have fun!
Hope you enjoy your weekends.
Leela when are you off on your holiday? Have a great time!
Nam x0 -
Nam-- have so much fun at the ball!! No need to be nervous!! You're going to look great!
Hope everyone's having a good day! It's homecoming weekend here! Yay!
Major fail yesterday on all counts.
Goals for today:
1. Lots of water.
2. Fight off the temptation to go out tonight-- I tried last night, just for a little bit and realized that I'm not as back to normal as I thought from being sick. And I definitely don't want to get sick again.
3. Log my food. -- I haven't really logged food consistently since I started here. It was more about watching in general what I ate and exercising but I'm ready to start doing it now!

Didn't do well yesterday. And today is the homecoming game and I'm not there because I woke up feeling sick. I think I'm still coming off the tail end of the strep and I pushed it way too hard all week. So here I am.
Goals for today:
1. Log my food.
2. Get some homework done.
3. Drink lots of water.
Have a good day everyone!

Good morning everyone!!
So... I'm going to be an aunt by the end of the day! My brother and his girlfriend are at the hospital now! It's only about.... 6 days late. I can't wait though!
So... I did well on goals yesterday! So for today...
1. Water.
2. Log all calories and stay within my calorie range (or at least close to it since I won't be hitting the gym)
3. Homework
Hope to start back at the gym tomorrow. Have a good day everyone!0 -
Good afternoon everyone,
I haven't posted on here for a few days so I thought I'd drop by and say hello. Everyone is doing so great and I feel like a failure.
I have two meals out this week so don't think I'll do very good again....
Goals for tomorrow
1. Drink plenty of water
2. Make wise food choices
3. No exercise because of my achilles heel so rest, rest, rest where I can (normally I do the opposite)
Simone0 -
Evening all,
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weekend.
Nicole so exciting about you becoming an aunt! Keep us all posted! Get some rest so you can kick that strep into touch (did you like my football reference)?!!
Simone - don't stress too much about eating out. We all have to keep on living our lives and can't stop eating out and going out just because we're trying to lose weight. Tomorrow is the start of a new week so focus on the future and not dwell on the last few days. Get that positive attitude back and remember we are all here to support you - YOU CAN DO IT!!
The ball was great fun although I had a very very sore head yesterday but had to power on and go out again for a friend's birthday. It's been so long since I've gone out two nights in a row and I am paying for it in a big way today. Was hoping to get to the gym but feel so tired so just going to try and keep my cals in check today and rest.
It's quite late in the day for my goals but generally rest, keep cals under control and don't get tempted to get a takeaway!
Monday's goals...
1. 60 mins cardio before work.
2. Ironing - the pile is seriously big and I've been putting it off for ages.
3. Tidy my hallway cupboard - it has become a complete tip so just need to straighten it out.0 -
it is kinda unbelievable how much I suck.
The last day I set a day goal for, i said i will be reasonable w drinks while out for dinner. Well, we chugged 2 liters of vodka lemonades and then did shots, and I had burgers (which I was ok with, that was the plan), but then I went home and needed to have snacks bc I was highly intoxicated... I woke up the next morning w one of the most evil hangovers of my life, and more guilt than ever.... I did not go to hot yoga and tried to entertain family in town for the weekend while trying to not hurl on myself.... At least, I could not eat anything for most of the day... but.... I never EVER want to be hung over again.
So, new goals and new expectations for myself WRT alcohol.
This is a positive thing. onwards and upwards
Today
1. Low calorie goal - try to not overeat while working on a stressful deadline all day
2. one glass of wine while dinner at friend's house. I need to learn how to set self goals and stick to them... tonight is the big test.
3. can't exercise bc i am getting sick so have 2 not overeat0 -
Morning everyone!!
I'm an aunt!! WOOHOO!! To a beautiful baby girl named Adelynn (Addie for short)!!
Fitbot... feel like most people have had those nights. I had mine about two weeks ago and have had 1 beer and 1 cranberry vodka since then which being a PSU student is pretty good.
Just realized I didn't post here yesterday but I did have my goals in mind so... I met all of them but they gym. It was one of those days where time just got away from me and I was running errands and going to meetings all day. So hopefully I'll make it tomorrow.
Goals for today:
1. Water
2. Stay within calorie goals (the way I've been eating... I'll gain my weight loss and another five pounds in 5 weeks... at least that's what this site tells me. Not good.
3. Water! Water! Water!

Ended up sitting on the couch catching up on my soap and CSI.

Good evening everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted on here since the weekend. I have lost my diet mojo and don't know where it has gone. If anyone finds it, please return to sender because I desperately need it!
I have had 2 meals out this week for my mum's birthday and also my bf's birthday. Common sense would tell anyone to be good and 'save myself' for the meals out but noooo, it's a green light for me to eat as much as I can! I need help!
One day soon, very soon hopefully, I will post some goals on here and stick to them!
Keep up the good work everyone! Although I don't post on here much I still like to read how everyone is getting on.

Hello everyone!!
It has been a couple days... and I have officially fallen off the horse. (I had fallen off the horse when I got sick ... but instead of getting back on like I said I would, I have just allowed myself to sit on the ground and let the horse run away). So... I am going to try to slowly get back on, that way it isn't all at once and maybe it will be easier. So... three goals for today.
1. Clean my room. It's gross. Enough said.
2. Water!
3. Resist the urge to go out tonight. I have an early morning tomorrow.
4. Log my calories-- and try to stay under 2000-- not my calorie goal but less than I have been eating.
Here's to getting back on the horse!!
Nicole0 -
Yay!
Goals for today:
1. Drink 2 litres of water
2. Stay within my calories
3. Work out for at least 30 minutes0 -

I hope you are feeling better Nicole.
I haven't been feeling well either and eating far too much. I need to get back on that horse too! Think i'll start small, take baby steps tomorrow and see how far I get x0 -
today's goals:
1. no coffee (day 2)
2. go to gym this afternoon NO MATTER HOW LAZY I AM FEELING
3. 2 drinks max at concert0 -
It feels so good to be back!!
I have to just move forward and set up Saturday's goals:
1. unpack....I hate unpacking.
2. drink more water....I have consumed more pop in this last week than I have in months.
3. rest my knee...it has been sore lately from exercise and stiff from traveling.
Namita, you asked about the WV hills. Well I just named it that because I went walking while I was out of town and there are hills everywhere. I tried to conquer the biggest one everyday. The calorie burn is insane because it was almost all vertical inclines. My knee took a toll though, so now I have to be careful.
Sorry my goals sound lofty, hopefully they will be more fitness driven when the weekend is up. I haven't had a chance to read what everyone has been up too lately, but I will try to read back when I have more time.0 -
Morning everyone!! Busy busy busy weekend on this end but I thought I'd check in. First of all, Despicable Me was a great movie! I saw it last night and it might be one of my new favorites! Ok so I just scrubbed THON mats for three hours... scrubbed scrubbed scrubbed THON mats. My arms and knees are killing me. So now I get to catch a bus and go home to see my niece!!! Can't wait. So my goals for today are...
1. Keep busy at mat cleaning (the more I scrub the more calories I burn). Did this! Whoooo! OPP FTK... I'm in a very THON spirited mood. Here's a smile for you for the day!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUuLOIXMDZ8 ... this is Tucker... he is a four diamond child at THON talent show last year!
2. Catch my bus (small but kind of major since I don't have much time)
3. Bed early to be ready for the THON 5k tomorrow morning!!
Have a good weekend!!
