1.3.11 Goals:

1) WATER - Horrible at this lately. I had 3 cups yesterday - must do better
2) Day 3 of Power 90 - CHECK
3) Take down Christmas Tree!!! - CHECK
4) Wear HRM while exercising - YAY CHECK

Completed Day 3 last night. Yesterday my arms hurt, today it's my legs. A little reprieve I suppose. I finally set up my HRM and it is AWESOME! ) I burned 295 calories last night doing Power 90 Cardio 1-2. I keep trying to make it to the gym in the mornings to get some elliptical in...but so far it hasn't worked out. Maybe next week. 295 calories is great, but I really could push myself some more. I still am very happy to be starting with the "easier" version of the program. I'd like to incoroporate the Zumba videos my roomie has too. All of this money spent on videos is going to be used this year! That's my main resolution Nicole ) I have Billy Blanks Bootcamp, Slim in 6, Power 90, got Gold's Gym Cardio for Wii, my roomie has Zumba and some others I'm sure that MUST be put to use this year! Also, I would like to lose 2.07 lbs. per week to reach a 50 lb. loss by my birthday (4/12/11) where I'll be 29. Also, Leela, for whatever reason, I did not equate your no chip goal with food. I thought you and your hubby were going to be nicer to each other! No chips on your shoulder kinda thing. LMBO! Just goes to show you that I need to be in better relationships. And this is why I've been single for 2 years. Good heavens. Mainly this year is going to be for me. I have to set goals to accomplish to better myself, in health, attitude and life. I love this challenge because it's baby steps...and that's the best way for me to approach things. Thank you everyone for being here!!! )

1.4.11 Goals:
1) WATER
2) Day 4 of Power 90
3) Find somewhere for the Christmas stuff to go!

Goals for Jan. 3:

1. Water.--GOOD
2. Exercise --already done, all 60 minutes of it!
3. Finish putting away the Christmas things.--DONE
4. Only one piece of cake--it's my son's birthday and he is the BEST so we are having cake!--DONE (and it was good!)

As I said--I've been under a lot of stress so I am also committing to doing a meditation before bed.--ALSO DONE

Goals for Jan. 4:
1. Water.
2. Stay in my calories.
3. Exercise for 60 minutes.
4. Meditation before bed.

Not a bad day yesterday. I just need to keep my mind calm and focus on what I CAN control and not worry about what is not in my control. The meditation helps a lot, as does working out.

Welcome to all our new people. I love this thread. Setting goals for one day is so doable!

I am going to reset my ticker as I have decided that I need to lose about 40 more pounds to be in a healthy range, not the amount I have on it now.

Have a good day everyone!

Hi Everyone,
My name is Rhonda and I've been on MFP since march 2009...I havent been logging on too much the past month, I sort of fell off the wagon! I have gained 6lbs over Christmas, I went crazy with the choclates and no exercise! But today is a new day and I setting daily goals I think will help me get to where I would like to be!

Jan. 5 goals:

1. drink lots of water ( at least 8 glasses)
2. eat healthy snacks and meals
3. no eating after supper
4. do Turbo Fire 30
5. continue taking down the decorations
6. play a board game with my son this evening
7. watch a movie with my hubby!
8. take a bath to relax ( buy some bubble bath!)

Lots of goals but I think I can do it!

PSUgrl921

Leela-- I didn't even notice it was copy and pasted! haha.

I did pretty well yesterday-- I wanted to go for another walk since the dog tired out pretty quickly but I got myself walking which was good and I"m pretty sure I went over on my 8 cups of water. Snacking wasn't so good. Going to try that again today.

So... same goals as yesterday.

1. 8 cups of water.
2. No snacking.
3. Walk with Ace.

Nicole

TeamLeela

Rhonda, I love your positive attitude. You can do it! You have to look at it one day at a time. We made so many cookies for Christmas, it was crazy. Followed by cheesecakes, pies, cakes. I thought it was never going to end. It all tastes so good, but it does add on the pounds. I was still working out, so the candle wouldn't burn at both ends. I didn't even step on the scale to see the damages.

Well I just came back to refresh myself on my daily goals. I'll post tomorrow's goals later.

TeamLeela

mid day check in

Wednesday's goals:
1. Stay on top of laundry. PASS
2. go to fitness class, plus 20 minutes (minimum) cardio. PASS
3. 30 day shred, level 3 NOT YET
4. drink 10 classes of water ONLY AT 5
5. eat a rainbow (colorful fruits and veggies) YES, MORE TO COME WITH DINNER
6. no chips THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY IN THE HOUSE TO EAT!!
7. limit one can of diet soda daily. I ALREADY HAD THAT ONE CAN, SO NO MORE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY

Tuesday's goals:
1. Don't stress too much at work. I want to start the new year calm and in control at work. *CHECK*
2. Lots of water. *8 CUPS*
3. Remember to take my lunch from home. It's all ready I just need to take it out of the fridge. *I REMEMBERED!*
4. Leave work on time. *LEFT 10 MINS EARLY BUT GOT IN 1.5 HOURS EARLY SO I COULD JUSTIFY IT TO MYSELF*
5. If I achieve #4 then go to Tri Class and the new Zumba class! *DOUBLE CHECK*
6. Eat breakfast. *A QUICK BREAKFAST*

So today has been a good day even though I had a starbucks having promised myself I wouldn't this week! I went to Tri class and then Zumba straight after and I am so totally knackered!! Tri was so good today and I have to say I really enjoyed Zumba. This class was better because everyone was new to it so we were all learning it together and the teacher was good so that helped!

Lee so great that you went to Spinning and so pleased for you that your knee is doing fine! I really need to try and go to spinning more often.

Happiness thanks for the info on Power 90. Sounds tough but I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! Keep pushing play!!

Actually hope you don't mind if I rant a little.....
I read on a thread the other day that these particular posters didn't believe people when they show a burn of over 1000 calories and think they are inflating their number. Reading that really annoyed me (even though it shouldn't) because I know if I log a calorie burn that I didn't achieve I know I am only cheating myself. I have never done that and I never will. I burn over 1000 calories a few times a month if I have done a couple of classes but never in one class so it is totally achieveable and I know I am burning that much because of my hrm. I don't know why some people come here to be negative and not supportive to others. Sorry rant over! I just had to get it off my chest!

So now that I've vented on to Wednesday's goals!
1. Loads of water.
2. Go to legs bums and tums after work.
3. Have a healthy lunch.
4. Wake up earlier so I have time for breakfast.
5. Go to bed as soon as I log off here. Have to leave early tomorrow. Technically this a goal for today but nevermiind!
6. Try not to drool too much when I see my very HOT client in the morning!

We all want to drink more water so as soon as you've read this drink a cup straight away and it will be one down for the day!! :drinker:

See you tomorrow!

TeamLeela

cheers! :drinker:

Good for you Kathy! Great work to stay in control when you’re stressed. I wish I had your powers of persuasion.

Hope you had a good anniversary and feel better today Jess.

Yesterday I was really grumpy all morning; I hadn’t slept well, nothing seemed to work in the office (I’m looking at you here computer) and some idiot guy in the park seemed to think I went there to pick up (yeah alright mate, take me back to yours, I’m powerless to resist your calls of “Oi darling”) but then after my walk, I stopped in to buy my lunch. The woman at the checkout was so pleasant and so lovely that it completely turned my day around.

1. Water
2. Exercise: Walk for 45mins & Shred
3. Under on calories

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