    Goals for 11/09--

    1) Water--Drank a lot of it but lost count. It was around 10-8 oz. cups, though.
    2) STAY WITHIN MY CALORIES!!!--Closer but still needs work.
    3) Work on my Christmas projects.--Nope. Worked on a personal jewelry set instead.
    4) Water!--See above
    5) do the Day 9 workout from the Thanksgiving walking challenge.--Done plus some extra.

    Good morning, all!

    I did better yesterday. Made better choices for my foods. I don't think I slept too well last night, though--I just feel 'fuzzy-headed' this morning.

    Wed. goals (11/10)

    1) Water.
    2) Do day 10 of my challenge.
    3) Work on Christmas projects!
    4) Stay away from the snacks at tonight's meeting.

    We are having another rainy day--usual for this time of year. I have recently added Vitamin D to my day--I hope it helps with this 'not-really-depressed-but-just-kind-of down' feeling I've been struggling with! I've been told that it could be related to lack of sunlight and the Vitamin D we get from it.
    I'm usually okay once I get moving.

    Have a good day, everyone!

    Good morning all and happy hump day! Today is my Friday because tomorrow is Veteran's Day so we have the day off and Friday is our designated Furlough day so no work then either. Today I completed the Shoulders and Arms dvd from the P90X program and the Fast Abs-workout 2 dvd from the Kettleworx series.

    Goals for weds...
    1. Stay under cals and no excuses - DONE
    2. After evening meeting go straight home and get in the gym to do at least 30 mins cardio but hopefully 60. BIG FAIL

    5. Speak to the specialist about my foot and make a decision finally on surgery. ATTEMPTED BUT FAIL

    Managed to keep to my food and water goals but just got home and I'm exhausted and foot is bad today so don't think I would be up to much in the gym. Tried to speak to the doc but he was in surgery so have been waiting for him to call back.

    So on to Thurs.....
    1. Workout before work.
    2. Big fancy work dinner thing in the evening - strictly no booze.
    3. Be confident in what I'm wearing tomorrow night.
    4. Loads of water.

    Well done to everyone on their goals. See you all at some stage tomorrow!

    Well. To show myself that the cookie dough is my enemy and not my friend. At 7am I ate my whole days worth of Cals of it. I will now have to work for everything I eat today. That is evil. But a good lesson for me. The tub of it is now in the trash.

    11/10 Goals:
    1) WATER -- FAIL (ONE bottle only!)
    2) Watch my food intake -- Do better at this as my weight was up this morning. -- EPIC FAIL, apparently binge eating was on the menu and I decided to make it a marathon! UGH! I don't know what I was doing, thinking, learning from this.
    3) Burn some calories! I haven't worked out since Monday! -- FAIL, I went to sleep at 9pm after my pity party

    11/11 Goals:
    1) WATER
    2) Watch my calorie intake
    3) More exercise! (45 minutes down so far on the treadmill)

    BTW...I'm afraid of the treadmill. I have a fear of falling off of it in the middle of the gym and being completely mortified. BUT...I managed to run at a pace of 4.5 MPH for a few minutes here in there with some encouragement from my gym buddy.

    Also, I've decided to set a goal for myself of completing a half marathon. I'm choosing the Rock N' Roll Marathon in Las Vegas that is in Early December of 2011. One, it gives me a year to get where I need to be and Two, I will finally get to Vegas!

    Welcome to the group Nelsaphine!

    Good morning everyone! As I stated yesterday, I have the next two days off and I must admit it felt great being able to sleep in just a little later today. I got up w/a lot of energy and a desire to burns some calories so instead of heading to the gym I rocked it out with Chalean. I completed 47 minutes of the Burn Intervals dvd and 30 minutes of the Turbo Jam Fat Blaster dvd. Overall this was a great workout.

    Hello everyone! I missed yesterday since I spent most of the day sleeping. I don't know why I am so damn tired all the time. Excuse my language, but I"m frustrated. lol. Yesterday was 100 days till THON too so I spent a lot of time with that celebration!! And Khloe Kardashian tweeted about us! Yay!

    Welcome to the newbies!!

    luvbnamom... let's get back on track together!! I've been on and off ... back on back off. And I need to get back on, too!

    happinessblossoms... I was afraid of the treadmill too! We both overcame that fear recently. Pats on the back to us! And I'm trying to run a 5k by October of next year ... so we are kind of in the same boat... even though yours is bigger than mine. Maybe I'll find a marathon and we can work towards the goal together!

    Choco... Your thanksgiving plans sound fun! I wish I could do something like that... unfortunately when I'm home I have to go back to work at Hershey. :(

    Goals for today:

    1. Log all calories (doing good so far)
    2. Water (haven't drank any yet... will get on this)
    3. Rock my exam at 4:15 (should probably start studying soon)
    4. Make healthier choices.
    5. Clean up this room a little bit. It's gross.

    Have a good day everyone!!

    Hi Everyone,

    Welcome Nelsaphine, I’m pretty new here too, everyone really nice.

    Rav Japanese curry sounds amazing, what’s in it?

    Leela the scales are just compulsive, I’m trying for once a week but its all I can do to get on them only once a day.

    Jess I hope you’re having a better day today.

    Steph Half marathon in Vegas sounds so exciting! What a brilliant way to motivate yourself.

    Choco Well done on the work out sounds like you’re really going for it.

    Nicole, I’m glad you’re back this is an awesome thread you started. It’s helping a lot of people.


    Thursdays:
    1. Healthy choices – At times, maybe:embarassed:
    2. Eat slowly, sipping water while I eat. - No
    3. 30 minutes cardio – Yes, managed over an hour though fairly low intensity
    4. Drop car off at garage – Er, job for 1st thing tomorrow
    5. Don’t weigh myself – Fail

    I’m off work tomorrow and then the weekend is looking pretty busy staying over at friends, going to wedding dress shops in London. I may not get to check in so the goals for the weekend in general are:

    1. Get the car fixed
    2. Water, water, water
    3. No more then two cocktails on Saturday night (Shopping for your best friends wedding dress! Diet or no, if you can’t follow that with a cocktail then I don’t know what you can)
    4. At least an 30 mins of cardio a day
    5. Try and get some rest or next weeks going to be terrible.


    Have a great weekend everyone, I hope you have fun

    Kim
