pmjsmom

Goals for today (11/7)--

1) Drink my water! I have trouble with this when it is cooler! Started off good but then...
2) Stay away from the sweets! This has been very hard lately--I need to make some healthy alternatives. Fail
3) Vacuum the living room. Took the grand baby for a long walk instead.
4) Get at least a 1 mile walk in. Done.

So, good thing tomorrow's a new day!

Goals:

1) WATER, WATER, WATER!!!
2) Vacuum the living room.
3) get some healthy, ow fat muffins baked.
4) 4 mile walk with Leslie (Sansone--we've been walking together for so long I feel we are friends!)

We had a good stretch of no rain, and even some sunshine, today. It's supposed to be raining tomorrow so I'll get the inside things done then.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Nam, well done on being so good at the weekend! I did make it to the local fireworks. They were amazing, a torchlight procession followed but the fireworks it was so atmospheric, it felt magical.

Otherwise the weekend was not a success; there was pizza, wine and cigarettes (I quit a few years ago) followed by random hangover grazing the next day. I also really stupidly pulled a muscle in my leg. It will pass soon enough but puts me out of action for classes over the next couple of days. On the upside it hurts to walk to the fridge!

Today’s goals:

1. Water!
2. Phone mechanic
3. Start picture for Christmas show
4. Don’t exceed 1200 calories!
5. 30 minutes house work

Hope you all have a good day. See you later!

TheNewJessieMae

nam.... no hubby did not cook me dinner, but he did tell me what he wanted so I cooked. lolol Kitchen is just about all torn out. we have to resheetrock walls and redo floors and everything and the guy who is doing it also has a fulltime job, so I don't know how long it's going to take. Hopefully only a couple of weeks. I don't know what I'm going to do with all this mess!!!

11/6 goals: Now that it's almost already 6pm. lol
1.) Laundry........ I have done 6 loads and still not finished but I will finish tonight. ***All laundry is finished
2.) get some more water in. again, it's already 6pm and I've basically just started on the water. I have a migrane...... ugh ** got a good bit more in.
3.) Don't have anxiety about the kitchen being in shambles. It happens when you're remodeling. **trying to stay positive
4.) Have a slumber party with my daughter (but I sooooooooo have to get rid of this headache!!!!) ** we watched the neverending story and played board games and slept in my bed!!!
5.) put my son to bed extra early because he didn't have a nap since my friend in the kitchen was sawing and beating and banging. **Yep

I'll go ahead an post my goals for tomorrow as well since it's already so late.

11/7 Goals:
1.) water-very important. **not as good as I wanted it to be but it was ok.
2.) Clean the office and my bedroom so that I can get all of the kitchen stuff out of my daughters room and clean it. (I clean way too much and it seems like nothing is ever clean!!!) ***I worked until my feet hit the floor at 8am until 8 pm. I logged 4 hours of cleaning but it was so much more!!!!
3.) AGAIN Not freak out about my kitchen being a wreck. ***still trying but I can't find anything or barely cook or wash dishes!!! after today I'm going to have to wash dishes with the water hose outside and it's freezing out there!!!!

10/8 Goals::::
1.) Get off here and get payroll done!!!
2.) water
3.) vacuum when I get home and clean upstairs.

Ravyn1982

Well lets see yep major fail on all counts....But Tomorrow is a not only a new day but a new week:) I'll get back on it then.

Goals for Monday
1. Water
2. Oil change in car
3. Laundry mat to wash big blankets.

Gonna relax a bit and watch some tv with the hubby.

Nam, I live in Northern Indiana. We only had a little bit of snow but it stuck to the ground for about half a day. We live close enough to Lake Michigan for lake effect snow. It's starting to warm up now and looks like it will be getting into the upper 60s sometime this week. I love how the midwest weather works around here... hehe

Well hope you all have a good evening. I'll talk with ya sometime again tomorrow.

Well just needed to check in and change one of those goals... I will not be making it to the laundry mat to wash the big blankets today as we have spent almost all of our money and won't have anymore until later this week:( Oh well.. hehe I'll just have to save that for later then. Which means I'm gonna be home all day instead.

So New goals for today..
1. Water (working on this one day off and its like I can't get back on the wagon)
2. oil change in car( which was way more important than washing the blankets) DONE hehe
3. Clean my living room and put down the new rug.
4. Laundry, just can't fit my big blankets in my washer or dryer.

Jess, I feel the pain on remodeling. Kitchens are a pain cause you only have one in a house. Hope it doesn't take too long though. That is something we plan on doing soon to ours but it will have to wait at least another couple of years before we can afford to do it. I love how years are soon when you own a house hehe;)

Well hope you all have a good day. I'm off to get started on everything and find something to eat. My doc kinda told me to wait at least 2 hrs after taking my pill in the moring before eating if I can do so. I've been up for just about 3 so food here I come!!

TeamLeela

Good morning everyone! Today I completed the Push Circuit 3 dvd from the Chalean Extreme program and the Core-week3 dvd from the Kettleworx series. My legs and back are very sore from last week's workout. I plan to push through the soreness even though I have to admit I procrastinated with today's workout. I really did not feel like working out today but managed to get up and push play on the dvd.

TheNewJessieMae

Thanks for wishing me luck and good health!!! You all are the GREATEST~

happinessblossoms

Wow! Chocolickkyss, you are doing fantastic!

TeamLeela

SUNDAY:
1. abs
2. pushups
3. water
4 log everything!

I failed at all except water. Going to keep the same goals for today and add two more.
5. try a work out on exercisetv.
6. go for a walk outside (if weather permits)

So I did find a great workout on exercisetv. it had abs and push ups included. but I may try to do some on my own later. I have drank almost 50 ounces of water before 3pm. I am logging everything. I need to see it in my face again. I don't "fudge" my numbers, I just sometimes "forget" to log something I know I didn't have any business eating in the first place. I don't like seeing the doritos and chocolate covered marshallows in my diary, but I promised myself I would stay more accountable. Maybe that will stop me from eating that crap.
headed out for my walk now. Its too beautiful outside to be stuck in the house. Also, rain is coming this weekend.

I haven't been as vocal lately as I have been, so I wanted to take the time to acknowledge everyone:

Nam, hope you were able to keep stress under control.

Beth, here's to a better week! I'm with ya! We're supposed to have good weather for the next few days.

Kathy, I thought Leslie only went up to 3 miles. a 4 mile walk is incredible. I used to do it, but I find her voice annoying...lol Congrats on quitting smoking.

frub, your goals sound great! I had a pizza crisis over the weekend too!

fitbot, did you make to the gym? what didja do while you were there?

whoa Jess, 6 loads of clothes. well while the kitchen is in shambles, hopefully you can get it done. I hope the headache subsides. I was dealing with them last week. The neverending story is a classic. A slumber party with your daughter sounds awesome. You're a great mom! And you know I'll stay on you about your water. Glad that payroll is done. My belly felt the same way from the insertion a few weeks ago. I'm finally feeling better now.

Steph, great job on the loss! and two a day workouts really increase your metab.

Choco- your workouts sound intense! great job staying motivated to get it done!

Hey Nicole, miss you. Hope you're doing great!

So sorry if I forgot anyone. I'll be on later to set up new goals.

Leela.

Hey everyone!! I'm back! It was supposed to be earlier today but guess who thought it'd be a good idea to go a week without sleeping pills so I don't get too attached to them! Me! And... I didn't sleep last night until 4:30. So I didn't wake up in time to get on here earlier.

Goals for today were/are:

1. No napping. (Already failed).
2. Water! Water! Water!
3. Tons of work done.

Hope everyone is having a good day! Missed you all! And Choco-- congrats on a year and your healthy food choices I've been reading about! I hope I get to that point soon!

frubjious

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick one today.

1. Water! – Fail
2. Phone mechanic - Done
3. Start picture for Christmas show - Done
4. Don’t exceed 1200 calories! - Fail
5. 30 minutes house work – Fail

I’m struggling a bit at the moment so today is going to be really simple:

1. Stay in my calorie allowance – Anything on top of that is a bonus.

Hope its all going well/getting easier for you guys (sorry thats so generic).
See you later, have a great day.

TeamLeela

Monday's recap:

Monday
1. abs YES
2. pushups YES, MY ARMS, BACK AND SHOULDERS ARE KILLING ME THIS MORNING
3. water 14 CUPS TOTAL
4. log everything! YES
5. try a work out on exercisetv. YES, FOUND 2 GREAT WORKOUTS
6. go for a walk outside (if weather permits) 3.75 MILES

I would like to be as successful today as yesterday:
Tuesday:
1. atleast 10 cups of water.
2. add healthy snacks on the menu
3. only eat if I'm hungry
4. no late night snacking.

They are all centered around food today because this is the area I've been struggling in lately. It goes without saying that I will do abs, push ups if I'm not sore later and workout atleast 45 minutes. There's a zumba class tonight I may go to because my Sunday class got canceled. Am I crazy for doing zumba Tues PM, Wed AM and Wed PM? My body is either going to love me or hate me afterwards.

have a great day!

Tuesday's goals:
1. More greens at lunch and dinner. FAIL
2. Loads of water. Try and do the Leela challenge and drink every hour. CHECK
3. Stay within cals and no booze after work. MAJOR FAIL

only passed on one today with the water. I was meeting an old work friend after work after a really long time. He has not seen me since I started on this journey and told me how hot I looked which was great but I gave into temptation and had a few glasses of wine but no dinner. When I got to the station to get my train home I was starving so got a grilled chicken burger no fries though. Feeling rubbish because I know I have undone all my recent hardwork and annoyed at myself. So tomorrow is a new day and I will start afresh!

Goals for weds...
1. Stay under cals and no excuses
2. After evening meeting go straight home and get in the gym to do at least 30 mins cardio but hopefully 60.
3. More fruit and veg.
4. Must cook own evening meal and excuses of late meeting and gym not good enough.
5. Speak to the specialist about my foot and make a decision finally on surgery.

Hope you've all had a great day!

Ravyn1982

Goals for Tuesday.
1. Walk the mall with friend DONE
2. water WORKING ON IT
3. Finish sweeping and mopping floors. had to start before putting a new rug down now have to finish the rest of them so it doesn't look so bad. FAIL
4. Put together my new set of drawers and re-organize my clothes. FAIL
5. Move all the smaller blankets out of the closet and into the storage ottoman. FAIL
6. Dishes FAIL
7. Laundry FAIL.

I should've known that was too lofty for me today. Been one of those days that is both really good and bad. Good because a friend of mine that I haven't seen in Months got a hold of me and my friend I go for walks with to get togehter today for lunch:) It wasn't what I had planned for lunch but I couldn't pass it up. I missed her:) It was fun and it was really nice to get all caught up on everything going on in our lives. I don't feel bad about it though cause the stuff I didn't get done isn't weight loss related.

So goals for tomorrow will be mostly the same as today

1. Get on my eliptical for as long as my legs will let me without over doing it.
2. water
3. Finish sweeping and mopping floors. had to start before putting a new rug down now have to finish the rest of them so it doesn't look so bad.
4. Put together my new set of drawers and re-organize my clothes.
5. Move all the smaller blankets out of the closet and into the storage ottoman.
6. Dishes
7. Laundry

I don't plan on going anywhere tomorrow so I should be able to actually get thru all of that no problem.

Hope you all have had a good day!! Enjoy the evening and drink plenty of water!!

So Wednesday’s goals:

1. Stay under calorie allowance
2. 30 minutes walk at lunch
3. 30 minutes cardio
4. Water
5. Go to painting class in the evening, even if I’m tired.

Have a lovely day everyone.
