    Hey all! Just wanted to let you know I might not be around much until the middle of next week.... I'm spending the long weekend with my dad. Hopefully this won't put me back too much on my general goals, (he has said we'll be eating out a lot) but I don't think I'm going to be having much time to do daily goals.

    Have a wonderful weekend and then some! :smile: :laugh:

    okay, so almost nothing got down yesterday. Today was about the same.
    My only goals right now are to rest and get better!

    Goals for Feb. 19:
    1. WATER, WATER, WATER!--NO, NO, NO!!!
    2. Stay in my calories.--No
    3. Get the laundry put away.--No.

    sad0141.gif I was doing SO well (with food, not the water) until I decided to make some cinnamon bread! Home-baked bread--how could I resist it?:grumble: At least it was whole grain.

    I did some work on my jewelry and made some very nice (I think, anyway!) ear cuffs. It's really too bad that Sterling Silver is so expensive right now but I have been experimenting with other metals. My personal favorite is--and always has been--copper, but I also like stainless steel wire.

    Goals for Feb. 20
    1. WATER!!! Starting NOW!
    2. Stay in my calories.
    3. Exercise.
    4. Get to bed on time.

    I hope you feel better soon, Leela!

    Not a good day. My grandson has a cold and feels miserable. All he wants is to be held and that is what we have been taking turns doing.
    Food was all over the place and I didn't drink more than 4 cups of water, though I did have some tea, which I count.
    I had time in the morning to exercise--I just didn't do it.

    I really need to get back on the ball. It's scary how quickly the bad habits come back!

    Goals for Feb.21:
    ! Drink my water.
    2, Stay in my calories and make healthy choices.
    3. Exercise.
    4. Get to bed on time!

    I'm going to try another video program for 6 weeks. I've gotten pretty bored with Power 90. It's a good workout...but the same 2 videos every other day isn't so fun.

    2.21.11 Goals:

    1) WATER
    2) Slim in 6
    3) Grocery shopping

    Happy Monday!

    Today's goals:
    1. count every morsel I eat. in the past, with my high calorie burn, it wasn't a big issue.
    2. abs and (wall) push ups.
    3. walk five laps from front door to back door once every hour.
    4. drink lots of water.
    5. Doctor @2:30. I'm feeling a little better today. Hoping for good news.

    Best weekend of my life!!! 9.56 million dollars for the kids! When the total went up I couldn't even cheer. I was frozen. Wow. Ok ... so

    I was sure I would lose some weight this weekend after 3 fifteen hour days on my feet doing work... but I didn't so... back to work.

    1. Water. Water. Water.
    2. Clean room/do laundry.
    3. Substitute 1 usual meal/snack for something healthier!

    Nicole
  • Hi Everyone,

    Hope you're leg gets better soon Leela

    Hope you're Grandson is feeling better too!


    Looks like we're all finding it a bit tougher then usual at the moment. I know that feeling better and looking better are fantastic rewards but at the moment I'm tired, work and family are a bit stressful. Because healthy eating and working out don't seem nearly as appealing as grilled cheese and steaming mugs of hot sweet tea I'm going to put in a more short term reward for myself. If I achieve all of my goals this week I will order the book I've had my eye on and take a day off just to read.

    Monday's Goals:
    1. Under on calories
    2. Water!
    3. Walk & Shred
    4. Laundry
    5. Renew Car tax

    Right seeing as its already 5.30pm I'd better get a move on!
    Hope you're all having a great day.

    Kx
  • Meant to say awesome work Nicole!

    Tomorrow Feb 22 goals

    4.)think about everything before I put it in my mouth and make the right, healthy, smart decision.

    2. Water! – Yes!
    3. Walk & Shred – Yes!
    4. Laundry – Yes!

    Morning Everyone!

    I am ridiculously (and probably disproportionately) proud of myself for meeting all my goals yesterday. I ended up doing shred at 11.30pm! I very nearly didn’t I was debating with my self right up until I got into my gym gear. It was thoughts of that day off and all you guys on here that did it in the end. I couldn’t come back and say I’d given up on the first day. “Uh yeah, hi guys… …er, do over?” I did over sleep this morning but it was well worth it, I feel fantastic!

    Tuesdays Goals:
    1. Under on calories
    2. Healthy choices, diet chocolate mouse may have the same calories as an apple, that doesn’t mean it’s an acceptable substitute.:wink:
    3. Walk, Shred & at least 30 minutes of something else
    4. Draw for at least an hour
    5. 30 minutes house work

    Have a lovely day everyone! See you later!

    9.56 million! WOW! Nicole--that's GREAT!

    Little guy is still pretty miserable. No worse, though, which is good.

    You can do it, Jess. And I know I can, too. I also need to be honest and to THINK about what I am eating! Love the new name, BTW.

    Kim--great job meeting all your goals! Now, I need to do that, too.

    I keep sabotaging myself. I DO NOT have to eat stuff just because they are available! The fresh fruits and veggies are available, too! I need to make better choices!
  • GREAT JOB NICOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • ps................ Looking at my signature---do you all think my goals are attainable? Too week or too much? feedback please and thank you!

    Good morning and thanks everyone! We worked really hard for that total and I'm so proud to be a Nittany Lion. I'm still reeling from the total reveal. And I got to see Herman Boone speak last night (the real football coach from Remember the Titans). He's a funny guy. Needless to say, it's been a pretty great week.

    In terms of goals not so much. My room still isn't clean. I've been doing better with water but not as well as I should be mainly because I'm so tired and need caffeine to keep me moving. But no more excuses... if I want caffeine I have to finish a bottle of water before I drink any from here on out. As for healthier choices... first day didn't go well at all but yesterday I substituted celery and peanut butter for my snack (usually I would have had a candy bar).

    So goals for today:

    1. One or two healthy swaps as opposed to the first thing I reach for.
    2. No Mexican food (it's my favorite food in the commons here and I need to STOP eating it all the time.)
    3. 8 cups of water. (It's 5:00 am my time now so I think that is doable).
    4. Homework. Homework. Homework. I would love to go out tonight although that is not looking good but I am going out tomorrow so I need to get stuff done.
    5. Gym-- no more excuses... I can do some reading while I work out if it is absolutely necessary. I already have my gym clothes on so I don't have to go home first and therefore never make it back out.

    And... Jess... I think your goals look very attainable as long as you stick to things. Good luck! I'm trying for about the same loss!

  • Tomorrow Feb 22 goals

    1.) I will be honest with myself even if I don't like what I tell me.
    2.) I will think with my brain instead of my tastebuds and bottomless stomach. They are what got me here to begin with and my brain knows better.
    3.) hydrate my body with water and not poisons called coke zero.
    4.)think about everything before I put it in my mouth and make the right, healthy, smart decision.

    ** I did really well. I didn't secretly eat anything. I wanted to. I wanted to eat the pastries that were sitting downstairs when no one was down there. I wanted to eat the pizza out of the fridge when everyone else left for lunch and I was all alone. BUT I didn't. And I also did really well with the water and even brought a lemon to squeeze in it!! Yesterday was very challenging. very hard. But I told hubby all about my struggles and he promised me fruit and sugar free whip and chocolate after the kids went to bed. So I had a reward to attain OTHER than weightloss. I think my problem is that if I'm good for one day I expect it to all come off in that day.


    Feb 23 goals:
    1.)Again stay true to myself. Dont go on some blind eating rage like normal and act like it doesn't count cause no one saw it.
    2.) I need to be pretty strick today. There will be alcohol at the Kid Rock Concert tonight but hopefully not too much.. (:tongue: )
    3.) Keep my self hydrated-no poisons.
    4.) when everyone goes to lunch......... try to run/walk the stairs at work to get some kind of movement in. ( I will be doing TONS of dancing tonight though)

    Morning Jess!

    I wanted to get Wednesday's goals up early:
    1. pilates/yoga
    2. drink water every hour, green tea is okay too.
    3. don't eat from the peanut butter jar (I know that may sound weird, but hey, nevertheless, its a goal)
    4. rest/relax
    5. don't stress about the test results.
    6. stick to the menu.

    Sorry I don't have more right now. Everyone have a fantastic hump day!
  • Morning Leela!!!! Hope you feel ok today.

    It could be worse, so I'm certainly not complaining. Will have the test results back no later than Friday morning. I'm hoping the tear is not so severe where I need surgery. I would love to just go through physical therapy to get it stronger. That's the best case scenerio.

    SO goals for today
    1. work on my sink-fail which isn't good I really need to fix it so we have running water in the kitchen again
    2. after I get it fixed drink lots of water -did pretty well actually with this one:)
    3. log everything i eat today- got it all logged:)
    4. laundry i really shouldn't have a problem with that hehe ok so nope didn't get to it but have no plans today otherwise so its gonna get done

    Nicole, I just saw your post and WOW!! Congrats on such a good weekend!! That's awesome!

    Leela, hope you get the news you want!! I have to stop myself alot from eating out of the peantbutter jar too, I've been doing it since I was a child and its one of my fave snacks.

    Jess, your goals seem very attainable to me. I know you can do it!!
    Ok well goals for today
    1. Fix the sink no excuses either got everything to do so just have to do it
    2. laundry its gonna take most of the day too
    3. any cleaning I can get done in between loads of laundry I've been lazy the last few days and really need to get it done so the house doesn't look so cluttered.
    4. Make list of what to organize and schedule days to do them might be able to get rid of more things that way.

    I know nothing is weightloss oriented but right now I think jsut keeping myself where I'm at and getting thru all of this is better right now. I have so much its overwhelming but I'm gonna work on it and make sure I have it all taken care of and then start in on the weightloss efforts again. I'm still gonna be watching what I eat and logging everything and be here for support for you all but need to get things straight for me personally first. Mostly we plan on painting and in order to paint the whole house I have to get thru all of this stuff first. Its a pain but I've already picked out the colors and the money is getting saved so we can buy the paint and supplies as soon as its warm enough to leave the house opened up for a few days.

    I'm off to get started on my day:) Hope you all have a wonderful day and keep up all the good work you all have been doing!! :heart: :flowerforyou:

    The results are in. They didn't waste any time with getting the results, so I can act fast. There is a tear in my medial meniscus, suspected tear of ACL, bone bruise on tibilia, minimum fracture of hip. My surgeon is on lunch until 1 (central time) Will call him back soon to schedule initial consultation. On the phone with them now, I hope I can get in by the end of the week. :sad:
