Day By Day Challenge-February Part 6

PSUgrl921

Midday check in!

Thanks Ravyn. I'm still on such a high from that day! We're going to try to paint our house this summer, too! Actually, my mom is in a similar boat in the, having to work some things out first, sense. Hers is more that she needs to stop hoarding and get organized but that's a huge deal for you! HOpe everything works out.

O Leela, that sucks! I hope he can get you in! And... inspirational story kind of. My dad found out he had to have a hip replacement this year. They said it would take him months to recover... and it only took him 1. It was all in his mindset. He was determined to get back to where he was and he did. I'm sure that you will be able to do a similar thing if you put your mind to it!

I'm doing super well so far today sticking to the new excuses. I'm even keeping a food log on what foods I liked and kept me satisfied that I"m going to post on a blog at the end of the day for advice/record keeping. A new thing that will hopefully help.

Hope everyone has a good afternoon!

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:

Goodness girl! That's rough! I'm sorry to hear that, I wish you a very speedy recovery. You're in my thoughts and prayers Leela.

TeamLeela

I'm trying to keep up with my goals. I haven't worked out yet, but I still pln to. Water is okay, could be better. I haven't eaten any p.b. but that usually comes later at night I'm trying to rest but its easier said than done. I didn't stress about the results, I'm still optimistic that I may not need surgery. The results sound worse than it really is. I'm sticking to the menu, not very hungry today!

Hi All,

Sorry I didn’t check back in yesterday. I didn’t do anything I set out to do on Tuesday I ended up falling asleep on the sofa really early, not working off any pre-emptive exercise calories and doing no housework. Yesterday I went to sleep at 7. I think I just need to catch up a bit. Unfortunately it still counts as a fail so no new book for Kim. Ah well onwards and upwards. I’m going to lighten up a bit on the goals, otherwise I’m just going to make myself miserable or rebel big time when it comes to the weekend.

Thursday’s goals:


1. Water
2. Walk
3. Early night


Leela, I’m so sorry that you’ve had this set back. I hope they can get you sorted and on the mend as soon as possible.

I hope everyone has a lovely day.

Kx

TeamLeela

Nicole, thanks for sharing your story. I think you're right, its more about determination. Last year, I was in a different mindframe as I am now. So although its the same injury (just a little less severe), I think I will rebound from it faster.

Thanks K, I can't wait until this is beyond me too. This unwanted hiatus from working out is getting old. I'm ready to hit the gym, just a little slower and more carefully.

Wednesday's recap:

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

So not bad over all!

Thurday's goals:
1. More water/green tea
2. rest/ read
3. pilates/yoga
4. stick to the menu, this worked really well yesterday.

Very nervous about weighing in tomorrow. I have still been trying to workout from home without overdoing it.

Everyone have a great day!

So goals for today:

1. One or two healthy swaps as opposed to the first thing I reach for. Check!
2. No Mexican food (it's my favorite food in the commons here and I need to STOP eating it all the time.) Check!
3. 8 cups of water. (It's 5:00 am my time now so I think that is doable). Check
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. No Meaning tonight will be an all nighter
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. Check-- it felt so good to get back there

Nicole

Good morning everyone! So... I did awesome yesterday... until about 8:00 ... after that the late night... I"m going to be up all night... stressed eating stepped in. But the good news is I realized what it was when I was done eating and was like "I didn't need that" so hopefully I'll be able to stay away from it tonight.

Goals for today:

1. Homework every chance I get.
2. One or two healthy swaps.
3. Stay away from the mexican
4. Lots of water.

Have a good day everyone!
Nicole

Got icy roads here today. Gonna take it slow going to work! (We don't get much snow here, usually.)

TeamLeela

Nicole great job realizing what you were doing. I had an "I don't need that" moment today. I was in Walgreens picking up a few things and at the register, they had movie theater candy boxes on sale for 69 cents. I picked up a box of whoopers, looked at the "nutritional" facts, I use the word nutritional loosely. So I decided it wasn't worth it and put it back!

TeamLeela

Thursday's recap:

Thurday's goals:
1. More water/green tea YES, GOING TO MAKE SOME TEA NOW
2. rest/ read YES/YES
3. pilates/yoga NOT YET, BUT I WILL GET TO IT.
4. stick to the menu, this worked really well yesterday. YES, ALTHOUGH I DID HAVE A BITE OF MY DAUGHTER'S SUB, I DON'T THINK IT WILL DO MUCH HARM.

Friday's goals are the same as Thursdays and probably aheaded into the weekend. I have an appointment with the specialist on Tuesday the first. It was the soonest they could get me in. Not supposed to workout much until then. I was thinking of going to the gym to walk a few laps around the track and maybe do some upper body strength in the weight room. What do you guys think about that?

frubjious

So glas its Friday

Icy here again today. Have a load of fruit trees to place at work so need to dress in layers. They were delivered to recieving instead of to the garden center because of the snow so a coworker and I ended up moving approx. 18 pallets and 2 rolling racks of trees through the store to the garden center. Fun!

Hey, I'd like to be the first to post for the March thread. I've been working on a little speech. Is everyone okay with that? If someone else would rather do it, speak now or forever hold your peace!

Sunday's goals:
1. walk around the track at the gym. For a total of 20 minutes, excluding any rest times.
2. do the weight machines at the gym.
3. cook for today and tomorrow.
4. try a new recipe.
5. Drink water...I've been falling short on this one lately. I don't know if its the cold or what. Probably, too, because I am not working out as hard. Before, it used to be really easy to drink tons of water when I was working out.

4. Watch the Friday night snacking!--Sort of.

I don't feel well. I have a cold and am all congested. I haven't done ANYTHING for the past few days but do some work on my jewelry. My eating this past weekend has been absolutely horrendous! I feel like giving up, but I won't. I have come too far for that.

I am going to take it easy today and focus on my water and on making healthy choices. Then, in the morning I am going to weigh (OMG!) and get a fresh start for the new month.

Goals for Feb. 28:
1. WATER!

3. cook for today and tomorrow. YES
4. try a new recipe. YES, IT TURNED OUT OKAY, BUT NOT REALLY EAGER TO MAKE IT AGAIN.

I've got to get the house clean and clean my bedroom. work on it. Don't think I'll tackle it all but work dilligently on it.

PSUgrl921

Hello everyone! Just a quick check in! I did really well last week-- making healthy choices etc, fell off the wagon a little bit over the weekend (but not awfully like usual) and am back to it today. I probably won't be able to check in for a couple days due to crazy homework loads but my goals are to get some sleep (pretty sure I'm getting sick due to lack thereof) and to stop munching after 8... or to at least munch on more healthy foods!

Have a good week! I'll check in when I can!
