Goals for 11/5
1.) water, water water -- YEAH
2.) pack up my kitchen as soon as I get home and do laundry in between. Every peice of clothing in the house is dirty!!
PACKED UP KITCHEN BUT NO LAUNDRY
3.) do half of payroll today so I only have the other half on Monday!! NOPE
4.)Keep a positive attitude RE weight loss. I'm gaining instead of losing (not much) but I need to get back on track with this exercising business. I am making every excuse in the book. And I'm getting burned out.. VERY POSITIVE YESTERDAY, BUT NO EXERCISE BESIDES CLEANING.
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.
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
3.) Don't have anxiety about the kitchen being in shambles. It happens when you're remodeling.
4.) Have a slumber party with my daughter (but I sooooooooo have to get rid of this headache!!!!)
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.
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.
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!!!)
3.) AGAIN Not freak out about my kitchen being a wreck.
I am so glad to see everyone doing such an excellent job!!! And choc, happy 1 year!!! That's amazingly crazy!!!!0 -
Now for goals for tomorrow.
1. Water
2. walk around mall with friend(weather is not going to be good for anything else!! dang snow!:grumble: )
3. Sit down with a calender and work a schedule for me to do more workouts. I've got the motivation now and my hubby is rearranging the basement for me so I can work out without being interrupted.
4. Pay bills :frown:
1. did good there
2. got that done:)
3. yep not so much there....
4. like I have a choice in that! hehe
Ok well its rather late on a Sat night and my hubby and I are just sitting around in the quiet without the kids. We have nothing to do!!! No one to go see or invite over. No bar we go to regularly enough to to just show up at and find people to socialize with either. I've come to the conclusion the area we live in sucks for us on the social level. Oh well we'll live hehe:)
Had a productive day today. Tried out a new Japanese place and the food was amazing!!!! Prices were really good too!! I will so be going there more often cause I can get better tasting food and healthier food then McD's has for about the same price I would spend at McD's. I am very happy about that:) Also got lots of shopping done today that was both needed and not needed. Then went to the in-laws to eat dinner and drop of my daughter.
So goals for Sunday
1. Clean living room to put down new area rug:)
2. Laundry
3. water
4. work on a workout schedule.
Hope you all are having a good weekend. I know I am even if its just me and the hubby:blushing:

Checking in!! Not doing so hot on the goals. But I am so busy I feel like I"m burning off a lot of the calories I"m eating. (I hope). 400 WINS FOR JOE PATERNO!!!!! Yay!! Hope everyone is having an excellent weekend!

Goals for the next few days are:
1. Water water water. I always slack on this when I go home to my mum's so must make more of an effort. ***DONE***
2. Make healthy food choices and don't get tempted by all of the sweets. On Diwali it's tradition to feed everyone Indian sweets which is going to be a killer on the calorie intake! Think before my hand picks up the naughty food! **DID FAIRLY WELL**
3. Persuade the whole family to go for a walk on Saturday so at least I can get some exercise in. *FAIL*
4. Where possible rest my foot so I don't do anymore damage. *DONE*
5. Have lots of fun! *CHECK*
6. Be positive for weigh in day on Monday. I desperately want to hit the 2 stone mark (which is 28lbs) and I'm within touching distance so I've been obsessing about this all week. Stressing about it will not help!
Morning everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far.
So I had a lovely time at home with all the family. Friday was pretty disasterous on the calorie count but yesterday even though I went over my cals it was only by 300 cals so not bad at all considering what it could have been! Whilst everyone was chomping through the sweets I had a big glass of water everytime instead!! Felt quite proud of myself.
Have been resting my foot all weekend and it is feeling better but still not completely on track so didn't make it to Body Attack this morning :sad: really wanted to go but know that I have to be sensible if I want to be able to train next week. If I pushed too hard today I would be out of action for ages. Consequently didn't make it for the walk with the family yesterday.
So today's goals...
1. I have a mountain of work to do so must get through as much of it as poss.
2. Water water water.
3. Go to the gym for a workout even if it's a light one.
4. Stay within cals.
Jess how's your kitchen coming along? How long is it going to take them to get it all done? And did hubby cook you dinner last night?!
Leela congrats on your 170 days! You are a rockstar and I know I wouldn't still be here if not for your encouragement!
Ravyn it's great when you can burn cals while shopping! Glad you found the Japanese place. That type of food tends to be great on cals. I can't believe it's snowing. Whereabouts do you live? It's sunny here but freezing cold today.
Nicole I'm convinced I burn extra cals when running on nervous energy!! Hope it's all going well and well done on running. I'm not a runner either. You can definitely do the THON 5k so ease into the running and I know you'll make it!
Frub did you go to any bonfire parties? I didn't get to any this year but the fireworks were going on until so late last night. Hope you're keeping away from those scales!!
Happiness thanks for your encouragement about the sweets! I did quite well! Did you make it to a combat class? Great idea about putting the timetable on your wallpaper!! Great job on working out!
Choc great job on doing the 360 min challenege. Maybe the change in your workouts from the shorter ones which help you shift the last couple of pounds. I've been looking into Chalean and Turbo Fire etc. Do you recommend them? What movie did you watch?
Gosh I'm on rambling mode today so enough from me! I'm off to hit the work and then go to the gym so will check back later. Have a lovely day! :flowerforyou:0 -

Nam14uk: The 360 challenge has definitely pushed me to step up my workout game. As a result of that challenge I worked out a total of 421 minutes and burned 3,128 calories this week. I've not done Turbo Fire but always read excellent reviews here on MFP. Chalean Extreme takes some getting use to if you've done the P90X or Insanity programs b/c she lifts very slow. Her philosophy is to go slow so you're not lifting off momentum and it forces your muscles to do all the lifting. I do like the program b/c the workouts are slow. Next week I'm going to combine Chalean Extreme w/the Kettleworx program.
Great goals for today. Good luck with reaching each and every one.
By the way, my girlfriends and I went to see Tyler Perry's new movie....."For Colored Girls" . Very deep movie but the acting was awesome. I saw the play last year and Tyler did a great job w/trying to stay true to it.0 -
Yesterday's Goals:
1. Take kickboxing class @ gym................................CHECK
2. Do not buy popcorn at the movies 2nite..............CHECK
3. Check restaurant menu prior to going 2nite so I can make healthy choices..........CHECK
Yesterday my girlfriends and I were going to the movies and dinner for ladies nite out. Since i knew the restaurant we were going to I did check out the online menu and decided I would just have a side of vegetables because we were going to be eating so late (movie started at 7:45 PM and was 2 hours long). Instead of purchasing popcorn I brought apple slices and snacked on them. I didn't have a chance to eat at the restaurant b/c there was a two hour wait and I decided I wasn't going to wait that long. I mean we got to the restaurant a little after 10 PM so waiting til midnight to eat was definately not an option. Since I was hungry I purchased a yogurt Parfait from McDonald's and made some whole wheat toast.
I'm very proud of my choices yesterday.
Today's goal:
1. Workout prior to heading out w/the ladies to see a play..............................Check
2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
3. If the ladies eat after the play make healthy choices at the restaurant0 -
I've been reading this thread for a while and have decided that I really like the tone of it! I also like the daily goals idea as I have been having trouble sticking to longer term ones right now.
So, here goes:
Goals for today (11/7)--
1) Drink my water! I have trouble with this when it is cooler!
2) Stay away from the sweets! This has been very hard lately--I need to make some healthy alternatives.
3) Vacuum the living room.
4) Get at least a 1 mile walk in.0 -

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

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!!0 -

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.0

Thanks for wishing me luck and good health!!! You all are the GREATEST~0

Wow! Chocolickkyss, you are doing fantastic!0
