I don't really have time to check in on how everyone's doing but I wanted to check in and get back in the groove. It's been a week full of comfort food due to a death in the family and the stress that came with missing that one day of school but I'm hoping to get back on track today. (At least I've continued a little bit with water.)

Since I'm already about to eat my second breakfast and am drinking my fourth cup of coffee my goals for the day are...

1. Water! Water! Water!
2. Healthy lunch at least.
3. To bed early tonight.

I was up at 4am to hang balloons downtown for Teach for America!! If you know any college seniors ... fill them in that the deadline to apply is February 4th and it truly is a great program!

Hope you are all doing well!

Goals for Jan. 27:
1. NO NIGHTTIME SNACKING!!!--No, but dinner was very late so I am not counting it a success.
2. Water.--Yes.
3. Exercise.--Some, not enough.
4. Meditate.--Yes.

It was one of those 'constantly being interrupted' days yesterday. I am not sleeping well because the baby is not sleeping and even though his parents take care of him, I still wake up when he cries so I feel tired in the mornings instead of rested. He is going through a growth spurt and has just started crawling so I hope this waking up every hour or so is a temporary thing!

Goals for Jan. 28:
1. No nighttime snacking!! Healthy foods!!
2. Water.
3. Exercise.
4. Meditate.

Nicole--I am sorry to hear about a death in your family. I hope you are all doing well in spite of it.

bikram yoga / water / no overboozing

shnnd19

not doing so well, need some help:( I think that my scales or broken or I wish they were, I keep gaining. I think part of it is from me not drinking my water & too much dt pepsi. It's just that I've been feeling crappy all week w/ sinus headache, did pretty good most of the week.

today I'm going to focus on water,water,water & only 2 dt pepsi, oh hope to god that I can stay within my calorie goal.

Goals for Jan. 28:
1. No nighttime snacking!! Healthy foods!!--Not too bad. Had a healthy snack.
2. Water.--Yes
3. Exercise.--No, only my strength training.
4. Meditate.--Yes

Goals for Jan. 29:
1. No nighttime snacking!
2. Water.
3. EXERCISE!!!
4. Meditate.

Had the baby all day yesterday so his parents could get some sleep. I am worn out! Babies are for young people!

Nam--I hope we will be seeing a picture of the haircut and color soon!

shnnd19--Hang in there! Dt. Pepsi does have a lot of sodium so it could be that. Have you tried one of the 'zero' cola drinks? They have 0 sodium. Water is still best, though!

I am struggling. I think it is the time of year--gray days and not much going on. I start back to work on Monday so that will help a LOT!

Nicole I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was not a success. After a bad week at work I went a bit over board on having a relaxed day eating almost an extra days worth of calories over my goal. I realize though that I was making excuses to myself all day really and it wasn't good enough and could quickly become a habit. So with that in mind I am off to the sport centre today, for Body balance and swimming.

Sunday's goals:
1. Under on calories
2. Water
3. Exercise: Body Balance then Swimming
4. Paperwork
5. Look up new interesting healthy food for the week.
6. Achieve everything on this list.

Hope you're all having a good weekend.
Kx

Goals for Jan. 29:

2. Water.--Should have been better.
3. EXERCISE!!!--Also should have been better.
4. Meditate.--Yes.

Well, yesterday was NOT the best day ever but it certainly wasn't the worst, either. I plan on today being better--have food all planned out and will be working in my e-trike so it's to take to work in the morning.

Goals for Jan. 30:
1. Water!!
2. Stay in my calories.
3. Exercise!!!
4. Meditate before an earlier bedtime--work in the morning! YAY!

I found you! LOL (Saying that because I had a bit of an issue finding this topic today.)

When I first joined two weeks ago, I saw this group, but didn't post.... Now though, I'm finding myself in need of motivation, but feeling that I want to stay realistic and some of the other groups just seem a bit much to jump right into, so I figured this would be a good place to start. I especially like the idea of setting goals that might not be health/fitness related, because a lack of accountability can lead me to slack off on WAY too much in life.

At any rate, seeing how it's after 4 PM, today's goals are going to be rather different than they might have been if I'd posted earlier or yesterday:

1. Drink at least 6 cups of water
2. Stay within all nutritional goals for the day
3. Do handwashed dishes/clean kitchen
4. Catch up on tracking finances

Morning Hi Everyone,

Sunday was great, it was so good to get back to body balance yesterday that I've booked my self in to a class for tonight. Having said that I'm still getting no where near anough water in.

Goals for Monday:
1. Water- I must drink 8 glasses.
2. Under on calories
3. 5 portions of fruit/veg

Goals for Jan. 30:
1. Water!!--Yes
2. Stay in my calories.--Yes
3. Exercise!!!--Not enough.
4. Meditate before an earlier bedtime--work in the morning! YAY!Yes.

Back to work today!

Goals for Jan. 31:
1. WATER!!! (Remember to drink it at work!)
2. Stay in my calories.
3. Exercise for 30 minutes, at least.
4. Meditate and early to bed.

Since I have been slacking on the exercise lately I have decided to cut it back a little. My job tends to be very physical--lots of hauling, lifting and walking--I work in a Garden Center arranging the tree and plant deliveries, etc.--so I don't want to overdo it! Once I get used to the work again I will try to increase my regular exercises.

Welcome SKismet! This is a good group!

So all that shoveling has apparently caught up with me over the weekend. As I lay in bed till 3pm on Saturday unable to move. BAH! I took the weekend off from exercise and dieting. I have probably gained 5 lbs from this, but I really needed it as it seems. I'll take it as a mini vacation. Back to it today though, I cannot continue in this fashion, but could use the days off.

1.31.11 Goals:
1) WATER
2) Create a routine and schedule...lots to accomplish this year )

TeamLeela

Dont have time to really post goals. Just wanted to remind everyone to set up a February thread. So whoever is on first, create a topic and then post the link here to so we can redirect there. Maybe one of our UK peeps who come on early can set it up! Got a busy day tomorrow, but I will try to pop on!
Goodnight!

TOM is on the way. I have already gained 1 kg (lets hope it's water weight)
to counteract it's effects today I will drink a ridiculo amount of water.
