Friday:

1. Water - Yes
2. At least an hour drawing - No
3. Laundry - Yes

I spent most of yesterday evening tidying the house. Its in a desperate state. In fact that is my main plan for the weekend it to get rid of all the junk and clean like a crazy lady. I've even bought some thing called a magic mop. I suspect I still have to do the actual mopping though. I'm also going to try and reorganise the way I'm eating, I seem to spend my life going to the supermarket or just eating the same few meals because I know they're low calorie which then makes me want the old bad stuff.

So the weekends goals:
1. Tidy the house
2. Look up interesting low cal recipies and plan the weeks meals
3. Go through draws and get rid of stuff that no longer fits.
4. Water!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Major failure on my goals yesterday..... :embarassed:

2-4-2011 goals:
1. Stay within calorie, carb and fat goals - Went over on fats.

3. Do some type of cardio - A whole 11 minutes of Wii Fit!! :laugh:
4. START grad school writing..... (Cause apparently getting them completely done is too much for me to ask of myself.... Also hoping this is a case where getting started is the toughest part!) - No..... Boyfriend came over earlier in the evening than I'd expected, and I only had time to eat dinner before he got here.

1. Stay within calorie, carb and fat goals
2. Drink 6-10 cups of water, depending on if I go over on salt

Goals for Feb. 4:
1. WATER!!!!--Eh--not so good!
2. Stay in my calories.--This, either!
3. Get all my stuff onto the new computer. (That will take a few days!)--Got some things moved. Need to work on some others.
4. Meditate before bed.--Not really--fell asleep instead!

So, kind of fell off the wagon big-time yesterday. I think it may be that I am back at work and am just tired from that. Luckily, that is something that will resolve itself in time!

Goals for Feb. 5:
1. WATER!!!! (Have already had a good amount!)
2. Watch my portions AND my choices.
3. Get more stuff onto the new 'puter.
4. try to get a workout done--I would like at least 30 minutes, but we'll see.
5. Meditate before bed.

Yesterday at work we arranged a shipment of arborvitae (screening shrubs) that weighed between 25 and 100 pounds each. Got my strength training in for the day! LOL!

We are having a small Super Bowl get-together tomorrow and I need to make sure ther are plenty of veggies to go with the KFC me DD is getting!

1. Plan out and shop for the first cycle of "The 17 Day Diet" (my mom got the book and wants me to do it with her)
2. Cook and freeze meals for later consumption (at least 4 so I have some to eat at school this up coming week)

Hello everyone!!

I'm Nicole and I've been MIA for forever. I'm a Penn State student and your typical idealist, save the world kind of person which causes me to always be running around like crazy volunteering and getting ready for THON and Relay for Life. I'm so happy to be back and to get back on track. Two weeks ago I lost my uncle and even though we knew it was coming, they gave him 6 months, 6 years ago, (cancer) it was a lot harder than I thought. So after two weeks of emotional eating (I missed a day of school and felt a week behind) I'm at my heaviest weight. So, I reset my clicker and am starting over.

Goals for today:
1. At least 8 cups of water.
2. Laundry! There isn't a bathroom floor right now. It's completely covered and it will take all day.
3. Homework! (Get ahead for the week so I have time for other things.)
4. Log all my calories.

Hope you all have a great Sunday! I will be back tomorrow morning to check in!

Well I've been MIA all weekend on here... But I found out that we had a wedding to go to yesterday that both me and the hubby for got about. It was for his cousin. He was quite happy we made it. Found out that The little girl I've been babysitting on Mon-Wed and Sat will no longer be coming over on Sats:) I'm happy about that cause her mom's schedule on the weekends is crazy!! hehe Been really good about what I've eaten so far this weekend until tonight but with watching the Super Bowl for the commericals only, I've eaten a few things I shouldn't have snack food wise and am indulging in some Diet Dew. Enjoying watching the commericals tonight and liked the half time show:)

Looks like you all have been doing well. Keep it up!!

Welcome back Nicole!! I also was MIA for awhile so its nice to see you come back to this as well!!

My goals for Mon 2/7
1. Make all the phone calls I've been putting off for awhile now.
2. Drink water and only water all day and make sure to get enough in that I flush all this salt out from tonight.
3. Do some sort of exercise to help burn off the extra unhealthy calories I've had today.
4. Not sit on my butt all day like I've gotten used to doing when the baby girl is here. She's lazy and it rubs off on me when she's here. I've got to get her used to the idea that its ok to run around and play since her mom doesn't seem to do it. She also only really eats nothing but junk food cause of her mom and I've been trying to change that slowly hehe:)

Well I'm off to snack some more even though I probably shouldn't. Hope you all have a good evening and Day tomorrow. I'll be back on sometimes tomorrow night to check in on you all:)

Morning Everyone,

Welcome back Nicole! I feel a bit rude welcoming someone to their own thread. I should be saying thanks instead. :flowerforyou:

I hope everyone across the pond enjoyed the super bowl and that you had loads of fun in Brighton Nam. I went to Uni there near the place pier and had far too much fun in general.

This weekend was really productive in terms of getting the house straight but a bit of a food disaster. It’s a developing pattern that I’ve got to kick in the head before it gets ingrained. The good news though is that I’ve looked up loads of new recipes and my boyfriend is on a business trip this week so I have a chance to test them out with out having to inflict any culinary disasters on him.

I have also signed up for a 5k sponsored run, I know plenty of people can run 5k in their sleep but the only thing I would run for normally is a plane so I’m pretty nervous. I keep having awful flashbacks to school sports days. I’d better look up Couch to 5k.

Wow I’m rambling today. Sorry, I’ll get to the point.

1. Water, no excuses!
2. Walk, Body Balance & Body Attack – Hello deep end!
3. Under on calories
4. More housework

Have a great day everyone! See you later!

PSUgrl921

Thanks for all the welcome backs!! I love that no matter how long I disappear for when I return there are always some of those waiting!

I did fairly well yesterday! I didn't surround myself with food for the superbowl... which... if the Eagles couldn't have gone and won, at least the Packers did. Aaron Rodgers really is an excellent quarterback.

Goals from yesterday:

1. Log all calories: Check! I didn't stay under... but that wasn't the goal quite yet. I did do better than usual though.
2. Laundry: Check! Took me alllll day. literally. But it's done.
3. Get ahead in homework: No... didn't even get everything done for today but it wasn't for lack of trying. I was doing homework allll day too.
4. 8 cups of water: check!

So goals for today:

1. Water.
2. Gym for at least 30 minutes.
3. Log all calories and keep it between 1200-1500.

Have a good day everyone!

2. Stay in my calorie goals.--No.
3. Exercise!!!--Only 15 minutes, but it's a start!

It is SO good for me to read all your post! I need to get back on track here--I have been letting all kinds of stuff get in my way and that is not the way it should be!
So, I am starting fresh today (once again!).

2-6-2011 goals
1. Drink at least 8 cups of water - Just, but yes.
2. Don't go TOO crazily overboard with snacking during the game. (Allowing myself 500 calories over my normal net goal.) - Yep, actually went less than 400 over, so technically I still had a deficit from what I probably burned.
3. Do some cardio, preferably at least 20 minutes. - Yes and no.... Jumped rope, but only for 10 minutes.
4. Polish up Career Objective Statement with Mom's help since she'll be here for the game - No, but I'm not taking complete blame for this. Mom got to my place late and we were then busy doing other stuff/watching the game the whole time.

2. 6-10 cups of water, depending on the sodium thing
