Day 3: Thursday, 9/25/14

I've been ill with a nasty cold since Monday pm, so my focus is on getting through and out the other side of this thing! No problem staying under calories, since I don't have much of an appetite. The most exercise I've gotten is to shell the dry cannellini beans I pulled out of the garden on Monday! But tomorrow....Pickleball!! Maybe not my usual 2 hours, but I'm hoping to feel well enough to get out on the court!
It's nice to be part of such a large community of health enthusiasts! If you haven't read GrandmaJackie's motivational poem, it's worth the read, IMHO! (Bottom line: don't quit!) Wishing all a great day of hitting your goals!0 -
Day 3 and feeling great.
I started exercising, for the first time in a year, on Tuesday. It wasn't much and it wasn't pretty, but it got the heart rate up and I was sweating (from exercise instead of a hot flash)!
I'm within my calories and my macros were perfect yesterday.0 -
Met my always goals yesterday (calories and steps), didn't end up cycling.
I have a family gathering tonight that includes a birthday party. Already been warned that it will be pizza and cake. I'm planning on joining in the festivities, but want to stay within my maintenance calories or under.
Today's goals:
1. Stay within calories (always, but I'll give myself up to maintenance tonight if needed)
2. 10,000 steps (always)
3. No alcohol at family gathering (although it'll make them think I'm pregnant because that's always their conclusion)0 -
Goals today; stay within calorie count, drink my 3.5L water, cardio 2 x 1/2
I start school on Monday so have been doing fall clean up around house and yard so will do more today.
have a great day everyone0 -
I wanted to share before I head to bed!
Motovational poem for weight loss
Don't Quit
hor Paul DeVora
Thank you for posting this....loved reading it!!
Met my caloric goals and did my 10,000 steps today. I am good to go! Will try to ramp up the exercising tomorrow a bit!0 -
Goals for day 3
1 Drink 8 cups of H20
2. No Junk food!
3. Stay under Calorie and Fat count.
4 Pay my bills ( always causes stress and overeating)0 -
Day Two was a good day! Despite the craziness of our schedules I logged everything, stayed under my calories, drank all my water, and got in my 10,000 steps (despite the Mid-Atlantic rain we're still getting!).
My goals today are the same - logging, water, 10K steps and smart food choices. I've found that I absolutely have to plan in advance - no planning for me means poor choices in the moment. Grilled chicken and sweet potatoes for dinner tonight have already been logged.
My 10K steps today will be tough - I'm working from home (I don't have our sprawling corporate campus to walk through to up my steps), it's raining (soccer practice cancelled so can't do laps around the field), and my husband is out of town so once the baby is in bed I'm stuck inside (the dog and I are both pouting about this - we love our evening walks!). Despite all of these potential excuses I'm determined to get my steps in.
Have a great Day Three, everyone! Keep up the good work!0 -
Yesterday was a good day. I met all my goals and ended up walking 13,000 steps which is 3000 over.
Today my goals are:
Drink 5 large glasses of water while at work
Stay under my sodium
Get in 5000 steps while at work
Hit 10000 steps for the day
It's so smart to get 5K steps in before you leave work - that's always one of my struggles...if I get home from work and am facing 7K more steps to hit 10, it's hard. (Dinner, homework, kids to bed, etc etc...)
I'm totally adopting your 5K@work goal - Thanks for the idea!0 -
Grandma Jackie - Thanks for sharing the poem!
I'm still on track. Met my goals again yesterday. Today's goals are similar: log my food intake, meet my caloric goal, and I plan to get a swim in as often as I can before the weather changes and I can't any longer. 0 -

Quoting myself because I can't edit my post.
My fitbit is acting up and isn't tracking steps. I'm going to try to be as active as I can all day and then get in at least a half hour walk tonight. Hopefully that will cover my steps since I have no way of knowing at this point.

Met all my goals yesterday!!! Although I did sneak a handful of my husbands potato chips.
Goals for today:
Stay within my calories and carbs
Take a walk
Don't sneak a handful of chips!0 -
Well I have been sticking to my nutrition which makes me feel really great! However, today is technically my first day of physical activity because the past two days were my rest days from training for a half marathon. I'm just beginning, so rest days are really needed for me. I woke up today and did my 30minute morning yoga routine which really refreshes me. I also ate a delicious healthy breakfast. Scrambled eggs, with spinach and salsa, a side of freshly cut mango and a piece of breakfast sausage (not healthy, but my calories are low for this meal so that's okay). For lunch I plan to have a homemade salad and a cup of soup. For dinner I will have a fresh tillapia fillet cooked in white wine and lemon juice, with a side of steamed mixed veggies. Later on I will do my training for running as well as my 30min evening yoga routine.0

Met my goals yesterday, even though I was called in to the retail job because someone was sick. I was dead tired when I finally got home from an 11 hr work day between the two jobs, but I still took the fur babies for their mile walk. Since I couldn't do dinner before going into the other job I snacked on almonds throughout my shift.I met my water goals as well!
Today my biggest goal is to get my run in (C25K) because I have to work the retail job again tonight, and I know I won't be wanting to do it after the second 11 hr work day in a row.0 -
yesterday started off great, but by the evening I was tired, had a terrible headache, I was starving and grumpy. I didn't make a healthy meal and I overate. I also didn't workout (except for the 30 min of walking I did at work).
Today started off better. I had less coffee and a big breakfast and have been drinking a lot of water. Hopefully i'll have more energy tonight. Id like to stay within my calories tonight and get about 30 min of some kind of activity this evening.0 -
Met my goals for day 2. Here we go for day 3/100
- take a long walk with a friend
- drink lots of water
- stay under my calorie goal

Yesterday I didn't do so well on my water goal...Today I aim to do better!!
I did my Turbulence workout yesterday! OMG...Yikes! Pain!
Today I start Couch to 5K...I also plan to mountain bike for 30+ minutes tonight
And I hope to actually achieve my calorie goal today. Yesterday was TOO low...NOT GOOD.
Good luck everyone on this day before Friday!! LOL0 -

Swam 1h yesterday
Walked my 10000 steps today

Okay. Today I don't have access to my house all day because of builders so that makes preparing food a little trickier. Goals for today:
1) Don't give in a buy food in the uni canteen.
2) Stay in control at my friend's games night tonight. Eat dinner before I go and resist pizza and snacks.
3) Drink 2 litres of water
The scales isn't moving right now and it's getting discouraging but I know just to be patient!
Well another day down. I conquered all my goals. I did eat one of my trigger foods though but I think I got it in control pretty well. Better than previously, anyway! Really hope to see a change on the scales in the morning... even just a tiny one!0 -
I had planned a walk today at the local bike trail but it was miserable and rainy! I convinced myself to head to the mall and got my cardio in that way.
It was a big deal for me! The mall is 30 minutes away and the last few days have been difficult sleep wise. But I got me and my 4 week old son out the door. I surprised myself, it would have been much easier to skip it.0 -

Kudos for getting in a workout, especially with a 4-week old son! The more times you overcome the urge to skip, the more habitual and easier it becomes.0
