    10/14 Goals:
    1.) GET OUT OF PISSY MOOD
    Pretty Awesome Mood all day yesterday!!
    2.)Exercise of some sort. --- Walked 1.75 miles AT about 3.7mph
    3.) get my house clean!
    Straightened up a touch but hubby promised he'd clean it today.
    4.) Water and fiber!!!!!
    8 glasses of water and 24 gms of fiber.


    10/15 goals:
    1.) I have a little girl coming to spend the night tonight that is like my second daughter. She loves to eat and doesn't understand why I'm trying to lose weight (very flattering, but nevertheless) She is 12 and a growing girl and eats like MAD and loves JUNK. Usually I give in and have some temptations with her. I WILL NOT SABATOGE MY DIET FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING FUN AND BONDING WITH HER. I will find another way to do that, like cook something healthy together.
    2.) water water water. STARTING NOW!!!!
    3.) cut back pretty far on carbs today. I will be drinking some alcaholic beverages tomorrow night.
    4.) I know exersice will not be possible this evening with my KB there there, so my next goal is to NOT fret about that.


    Everyone have an excellent FRIDAY!!!!

    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!!

    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.

    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!!

    Good morning everyone!!

    My niece has officially stolen my heart. I was overwhelmed when I first saw her laying in the crib. She's soooo tiny!

    Ok so I'm walking the THON 5k today and I'm sore from mat cleaning. So I'm not too worried about calories today.

    Have a good day everyone!

    Afternoon all! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

    Nicole congrats on becoming an auntie! That's so exciting - enjoy every minute! Good luck with your 5K and let us know how you get on.

    Leela - welcome back we missed you on here! Great going on getting attacking those hills - great achievement on the big one!

    Ravyn great going on all your DIY. I always mean to ask about your river walks - they sounds lovely.

    Sim - stay positive and remind yourself of your goals. Take baby steps and you'll get back on track I'm sure. We are all allowed to slip off every now and again but it is your next step that counts. We're all here for you for support.

    I've had some family staying this week so wasn't as good as I could have been with the food and exercise. Have tried to undo some of the damage caused by going to Body Combat yesterday and Body Attack today. I only planned to do one class this morning but the instructor basically bullied me into staying for all three. I was regretting it whilst I was there but now I feel great although very tired!

    So goals for today:

    1. Burn those cals - this is basically done already!
    2. Try to eat at least half exercise cals but in a healthy way rather than snacking on rubbish.
    3. Water water water - I really have such a problem with this one and just forget to drink.
    4. Sleep early tonight!

    In case I can't get back on later I'll post Monday's goals as well...
    1. Training before work.
    2. Have a productive day at work - lots to get through and staring out the window has not been helping!
    3. Water again
    4. Get to bed early enough as it is going to be a long and busy week.

    Hope you all have a great day and the sun is shining wherever you are!

    Hi everyone,

    Nam - thanks for your kind and encouraging words.

    I really don't know what's happened to me recently. I was horrified to see last night that my last 'proper' good day was October 6th! That was almost 2 weeks ago! I need serious help getting back on track. It doesn't help that my boyfriend is off work for a couple of weeks and I always eat more when he is around. Just despairing with it all now.

    Anyway, I am gonna set 3 goals for tomorrow and see how far I get with them.
    1. Do 30 mins on the exercise bike
    2. Try and keep my sugar intake down (sweet food is my downfall)
    3. Dare I say, try and eat within my cals?

    By posting these goals it might inspire me to actually stick to them!

    Hope everyone is having a good sunday.

    Simone x

    I like this blog - This is my first attempt so let me know if I am doing something wrong.

    1. Walk for 1 hour
    2. Do laundry
    3. Eat around 1300 calories

    Hopefully, I will do all of these and get back tomorrow for 3 more challenges - I have this week off so it should be rather easy to meet my goals (hopefully!)
