Nam, hope you're feeling better.
Steph, hope you had fun bowling!
Jess, how was lunch with your friend?
Kathy, hope your birthday is as wonderful as you are!March 8's goals:
1. go to kickboxing class in the AM. YES
2. try my new sweet potatoe recipe. NO, I TRIED ANOTHER RECIPE AND IT ENDED UP THE TRASH!
3. finish off the rest of the cabbage (no one in the house eats cabbage, but me) NO GETTING SICK OF EATING IT AND IT MAY HAVE TO GO IN THE TRASH AFTER TOMORROW. I HATE WASTING FOOD!
4. drink atleast 80 ounces of water. YES, STOPPED AT 80
5. go to bed earlier. GOING TO TRY. I HAVE A HEADACHE, I MAY NEED TO SLEEP IT OFF.
6. log all my food. YES, IT HELPS ME STAY AWARE OF THE LITTLE UNNECESSARY SNACKS I HAVE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND HOW THEY ALL ADD UP QUICKLY.
7. no night time snacking esp since I'm going to bed early. YES...SO FAR
So its day 2 with no diet pepsi. Its not even intentional, I just haven't had a taste for it. I've been sipping lemon water all day and haven't even thought about it until now. I won't open a can unless I know I will drink the whole thing and since I know I won't finish it, its no point in opening it and letting it go to waste! I BROKE DOWN AND HAD ONE TODAY TO WASH THE NASTY TASTE OF MY RECIPE GONE BAD!

Morning Everyone,
Yesterday was pretty much a fail, but I feel great, whats that about? I had to work late and stayed up way past my bed time (apparently I’m 5 years old) putting together a present and making gluten free cornflakes for a work friend's birthday today (quality control on those put me a little over my calories:blushing: ). Normally I would feel like I’d been run over in morning but actually I feel fantastic, even woke up before my alarm!
Today there’s a big scary future of our department meeting so I’m going to try and keep today’s goals fairly light.
Thursday:
1. 30 mins cardio
2. Laundry – Seriously or I’m going to have to start wearing dresses.
3. Water
Hope you’re all having a great morning.
Kx0 -
K, I hope all goes well at the meeting! What's wrong with wearing dresses?
Rav, it rained off and on all day yesterday too. I didn't mind the rain, but it was so cold.
Steph, great job on the Turbo Fire. I've seen the infomerical; it looks intense. Great job on the win in bowling. Does your league bowl every Tuesday?
Kathy, glad you had good weather and had a nice time for your birthday!
hutchins, Hope your back feels better? What's on the menu for dinner tonight? I love your plan to only drink water.

Felt sick last night, so basically I accomplished none of my goals...bah!
Leela - I haven't tried Turbo Fire, I'm on Turbo Jam, but so far I'm liking it. It's kicking my butt and i'm still on the introductory part to learn the moves LOL. Yes, our league is every Tuesday. We were in 6th place before bowling this week, so we'll see. I really want to win money so we don't have to pay that much for next season.
Shannon - Thanks girl! I really like it. This is my first time being on a league. I'm super bad, but it's fun. I saw a post on here about a Dave Ramsey book to help with your finances. Maybe you can pick it up at the library??? I need to do the same thing)
Kim - haha isn't that funny that the "nice" clothes are a last resort because we didn't do our laundry. If I'm all fancy it's because I've been super lazy in the laundry department. Too funny! I've been waking up, I mean wide awake, at 4am lately. Then I go back to sleep and it's like I can't get enough of it and don't want to wake up at my normal alarm. Perhaps I should just get up when that happens.
House sitting for my aunt. Well, really cat sitting. So I'm not sure what is going to happen. I have to figure out a new routine. And my routine thus far hasn't been so good. Ugh! So I believe I will have to get up wicked early to accomplish things and I don't enjoy that. I'm much better at going to bed late. I need to figure this out...BAH!0 -
Goals for today 3/10
1. Get nails done-done
2. water-eh drank some but not nearly enough
3. finish laundry and shoes-FAIL didn't even really work on any of it. Dr's took longer than expected.
So I think I've finally got caught up with all of you:) You all seem to be doing well for the most part, we all have our bad days I know that one too well!!! hehe
Hoping that in the afternoon here it will be warm enough for me to go for a walk somewhere. Its supposed to be sunny and in the 40s should be good for at short power walk at least.
Goals for Friday 3/11
1. try to be sensible in what I eat after breakfast. My mom is stopping by in the morning and is going to bring me breakfast (which means fast food either McD's or BK) I'm gonna have to see which is the better option for me. I know I really don't want any of it but I also can't really tell her no when she does this.
2. Drink nothing but water and unsweetened tea. I need to get my caffine in somehow or I can't function.
3. Work on shoes and laundry. I've almost got a bag for donation done. Hoping to at least get it filled so I can get it out of my living room.
It will probably be late tomorrow evening before I get back on here. I have to go to a rehersal dinner tomorrow night. I know I won't be on much all weekend with it being my SIL's wedding this Sat. I'm so excited though:) I can't wait and I know I'm gonna tear up. I also am not looking forward to having to give a speech.....damn those traditions sometimes...hehe
Hope you all have a good evening and Friday:)0 -
Steph - Thanks for that suggestion.... I might have to try that. But what I meant by that was just updating my tracking of stuff on my computer program.
Ravyn - Based on the book "Eat This, Not That" McD's is actually JUST healthier than BK. (My dad had a copy that I looked through a bit while I was visiting him a couple of weeks ago.)
