    My goals for Day 14 are to walk at least 60 minutes and stay within my calories limit. Day 13 goals were achieved.

    Being busy at work will provide the needed distraction from carvings and temptation while my weekday routine of walking to work, walking during lunch break and walking after work will help achieve my walking goal. The biggest driving factor as always is to get healthy. I will be kidding myself if I procrastinate on this b/c I know that it is not healthy to carry extra 77 lbs all the time.

    Hello everyone hope you're all doing great.
    Sunday was awesome for me, ended up doing a 6 mile hike and nutrition wise I'm great.
    For Monday I really hope to get in the gym later and just lift some heavy stuff, I miss it so much!!!

    Beautiful day for me today...after a great relaxing weekend, today my aim is beginning to avoid the food during my job...I can only eat when I'm at home or, if I am able to, I cam bring sone food from home and eating it...

    I had a great weekend, and even managed to saty under my calories both days :-)
    Today I am concentrating on my water intake and will try to distribute it evenly over the day (and not realizing in the evening that there is still one liter missing, and gulping it down in a short time...)
    And staying under calories, and logging everything.
  • It's a normal Manic Monday. I didn't get up this morning to do T25 since my legs cramped up all night. I will go for my 4 mile walk and my eating patterns are under control. Ran a 5k on Saturday for the first time since my TIAs, which was amazing but yesterday I was on my feet all day and I think that did me in. Didn't give my legs time to recover so couldn't really get the engine going. Back at it tomorrow for sure!

    Here's my plan...

    Exercise 5-6 days a week
    pack my lunch the night before
    stay within calorie allotment
    no trigger/junk foods
    to be at least 132.0 by the time my MOTB dress comes in for final fitting ... Working on it

    Eat only what I fixed for lunch and snack. Gym tonight w/DD. Walk immediately when I get home from work for 4 miles.

    Hope everyone had a good weekend.

    Yesterdays goals met! Today its getting in an hour at the gym, stay within my calorie range and have all my food prepared for the next 2 night shifts so there won't be any reason to wander to the vending machine in the wee hours of the morning.


    Happy Monday everyone!

    Good morning and hope everyone had a great weekend!

    I hurt my back a bit yesterday as I think I did too much on Saturday. We were putting the yard to bed for the winter so lots of bending and twisting. I already have a bad back so I just need to take it easy for a few days until the muscles release and the stiffness goes away!

    So for today goals are:

    Stay within calorie goal
    Baby my back with ice, heat and advil!

    That's about it for today!!
  • Since my only goal for yesterday was to not go crazy eating my emotions, I managed.
    I thought I got in more steps then I seemed to have.

    Today 10000 steps
    triple 100 challenge
    stay under calories goal
    water water water
    week 2 day 3 c25k

    good luck everyone

    Today I met my goals; I didn't overeat, I ate enough protein, I bought proper running shoes (finally) AND I went 7.15km jogging/walking in one hour!!!!!!!!! 8 weeks ago that wouldn't have been even remotely possible.

    1. Have a smoothie for breakfast
    2. Get my exercise in this afternoon as I overslept this morning.
    3. Watch what I eat at lunch today.

    My goal is to get back on track. I had a horrible weekend......emotionally, mentally, physically and all around health wise.


    I am going to run 3 miles today
    Eat 100% Paleo

    But my biggest goal today is to gently forgive myself for my weekend mishaps because after all this is an ongoing journey and I am my #1 ally.

    Stay within my calories
    Drink plenty of water while at work.

    Hi everyone! I am a late addition to the group and the spreadsheet log.

    Anyone one here who wants to "friend" me on MFP, I would appreciate it as having people to keep me accountable for exercise/what i put in my body is a huge motivator for me (i.e. previously lost 10 lbs on MFP, but when my friend stopped using the app I lost accountability, eventually stopped my diary, and gained 20 pounds).

    Since I am about 2 weeks late, I will try to make up for it with 14 goals (it is my day off from work and I have nothing to do, so why not):
    1. Run 2 miles
    2. 10 squats
    3. 15 modified pushups
    4. 20 tricep dips
    5. Take stairs instead of elevators
    6. Drink 8 glasses of water
    7. Set up and play one game on my wii-fit
    8. Hold a plank for at least 45 seconds
    9. Take my puppy on a hike/long walk
    10. Try the Comcast on-demand yoga class
    11. No more chocolate (caved earlier today and had a muffin for breakfast)
    12. Steps goal (10,000 on my jawbone up)
    13. Have a non-fat yogurt (yuck, but necessary if I am ever going to like them)
    14. Have an apple (yuck, but necessary if I am ever going to like them)

    Happy Monday!!!

    Saturday was great.. I only misssed one goal and that was to track all meals. I went out and my phone died then I forgot to track once I got in .

    Sunday was horrible. I was recovering from Saturday night antics, slept in, and I had to do my daughters hair. ( take out braids, wash, dry and redo) so that was like a 4 hour ordeal. So I didnt workout, didnt get many steps in .

    But today is a new day!

    Drink 80-96 ounces of water
    Take my probiotic & fiber pills
    Lunch time walk
    Workout after work
    Get my 10,000 plus steps in
    track all meals & close diary stay in the green

    I hope everyone is doing well with their goals. :-)

    The weekend was crazy. I had my monthly book club which is always a free day as far as diet. It is such a great get together and much needed grown up time so I rarely try very hard to abstain.

    Today is a new day though. My back pain treatment is still feeling good. So far my breakfast and lunch have been pretty good. I am feeling super snacky but avoiding it by spending too much time on this site. So far so good.

    My goals for today are to stay with in my calorie goals.
    Drink enough water.
    Make it to class tonight after work.
    Walk around the office as much as I can.

    Active everyday!
    Work through pain!

    Today
    plan meals for the rest of the week. We are healthier if we plan ahead. I do my best to stay busy and not allow myself time to falter.

    Yesterday was a better day for me. Reset my steps to something I can do right now, but even that makes my foot hurt. Drank all my water, which I really need to do thru out the day not at the last minute.
    Day14 goals are to get at least 7,000 steps, keep my foot elevated as much as I can, keep in the green on my calories, and drinking my water.

    The weekend was fine, I stayed under my calories (mostly) but did skip on the exercise due to a cold that keeps lingering.

    Today is day 1 of week 4 of my fasting experiment (5:2), so I keep it simple and maybe skip my 30DS dvd again today since I am still under the weather and should start level 3 (supposedly much harder).

    Goals:
    - drink lots and lots of water and tea
    - have a nice dinner of 500 cals
    - maybe exercise or do some gardening (depending on how my throat feels later)

    Happy start in the new week everyone! :)

    Day 12 and 13 goals achieved. Stayed under 2000 calories both days. With my lack of exercise this weekend I think I have successfully let my sore almost strained muscle heal.

    Day 14 goals:
    Drink more water
    Eat healthier (the weekend was a little unhealthy)
    burn 500 calories with exercise.
    test out the new blender with a green smoothy and have it as a snack.
    That is it.

    Today I am just happy to be back into my normal life. We had a huge Scandinavian festival in town that I had to work at multiple days. Only good thing is that I did a tone of walking, bad is that butter, cream and sugar made up 3 of the 4 food groups I eat for the week :( Didn't gain but sure didn't lose anything. My goals for this week are to work on preplanning my day better, staying under 1500 cal and fit in 3 workouts throughout the week. I know I should try for more but after working 40 hours, kids and then working 3-5 hours on crafting each day I am starting to run out of time. I only have a few weeks till the start of weekly shows for my crafting business and I wanted to get some stuff on etsy b4 the holidays.
