MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS

DeeH, great work!
Ang, excellent!!! I'd like to join a gym when I shed 50+ pounds. Even then I won't feel comfortable... plus gyms with babysitting services are expensive. I am a single mom and no one lives near me to help me out. So unfortunately my only option is a gym with babysitting! I'll just keep walking and playing my Wii and burning the calories that way... but I am so happy and excited for you!!! I've heard good things about Planet Fitness!!! My friends are members there!
I need some help - I HATE vegetables and I don't love the "good for you" fruits... but I've changed over to all multigrain or grain based carb products. I've chosen the no fat, low fat, reduced fat options for cheese, yogurts, milk, etc. I am trying to stay under my sodium intake and watching the sugar intake but if I stay under in sodium and sugar, I don't have nearly enough calories. If I take in enough calories, I'm over in sodium and sugar. UGH. I am hungry, too... I just REALLY hate vegetables and fruits, lol.
Where do you live? I can do some research for you to see what's out there for gyms...I love research, it's kind of my thing. LOL
As for fruits and veggies...what do you not like about them? I've always said I don't like certain veggies and fruits...and I've actually changed my mind over the years! Spinach was one of them...and then I ended up having spinach on my sandwich today with lunch!

Well... I am not a good cook... and I hate cooking. I don't have much time for it so I don't really know how to "make" vegetables taste good. I just don't like the taste and some of the consistency makes me gag. I have a very sensitive gag reflex. I do like asparagus, cooked, with some butter spray on it... I like lettuce. I like cooked mushrooms and cooked onions. I don't mind raw spinach if it's in a salad but cooked spinach makes me gag. I like sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. I like corn. Obviously if they're starchy veggies, I like them... since they aren't great for you, LOL. I like strawberries, bananas, mandarin oranges. I don't mind blueberries but I wouldn't buy them just for myself. I don't like any of the melons or kiwis or pomegranates. I don't love apples but I don't mind them either. Maybe I'm just so used to stuffing my face with garbage that it's going to take time to reinvent my tastebuds?0

That's possible. I've honestly started to LOVE the taste of steamed veggies, especially carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and green beans. Nothing on them at all, just them the way they are. I wonder how they'd taste with one of the light laughing cow cheeses over the top now though...hmm! You could make one heck of a fruit salad with those choices there! That's not bad at all. Although I'm a melon freak myself, I have to say. What about any other of the citrus fruits? Lemons are great for seasoning, limes too. And oranges, tangerines, etc are just yummy! Since you like mandarin oranges you may like those too. Pears are great too, I think you might like them!0 -

I used to love to squeeze the lime on my McDonald's Southwestern Chicken Salad (I wonder how bad for you that salad REALLY is, lol!!!) and it kicked up the flavor... I don't really care about oranges. I probably like the mandarin ones because of the "light sugar syrup" they're in.
I'm a food addict and I became addicted to sugars and salty foods... bad for you, fattening, disgusting foods. It's going to take a LONG time to break that habit and I am really proud of what I've broken so far!
Today I did eat some mac and cheese. However, I am still not near my calorie goal AND I exercised so I am okay with the fact I ate that crap today!0 -

Ha! I eat the mandarin oranges in water, just to cut down on the calories and stuff. I didn't like them when I was younger but now I LOVE them.
Trust me, I'm a fast food junkie. Every once in awhile I just go ahead and get it anyway (about 3 times since I started this journey) and just deal with the consequences! There's no way I'm going to be able to spend the rest of my life never walking into a fast food place so I try to stick with the 'moderation' theory. As for mac and cheese...take that away from me and I will probably cut off someone's arm. LOL! That's my favorite thing in the world.0 -
I made one goal for the week... I did 360 mins of exercise when my goal was 250. I didn't stay under my cals every day like I wanted so will have to work on that one next week.
For my NS goal... I got my pantry cleaned out like I wanted to
Now I know how much canned fruit and vegetables I have in the pantry. Will make it easier to go grocery shopping soon
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I unfortunately have to work another 12 hr shift tomorrow. But I do plan on working out tomorrow night to get a start on next weeks challenge have a good night all 0 -

Saturday Check-in:
Under calorie goal - met But my sodium was way out of wack. Not sure what happened there. Will watch that better today.
Exercise - goal was 45 minutes, and I did an hour twenty-five yesterday. Whoo hoo!
I weigh in on Wednesdays, and I was down a pound and a half this week.
Way to go, everyone, on the goals. I think I started on Sunday, so a new week of goals for me.
1) I think I'll be down another pound and a half at the scale on Wednesday.
2) I'm doing 30 Day Shred, so I'm going to do that six times this week.
3) Hit the gym twice this week. My short-long term goal there is a mile and a half in 20 minutes. I'm currently a little over 24.0 -
Oh my Lord you people are awsome ! You make me tired just reading about all the exercise you are doing, haha ! I've been off work since just before Christmas with bad knees and am awaiting surgery next month, so my ability to exercise is very limited....but you've all inspired me so much that I'M IN !!! I will make it my goal to get out each evening to walk for 20 minutes (sorry, that's the best I think I can do). :bigsmile:0

Welcome Jimmy - MissDee has made a new link to this week's challenge... we just take it ONE week at a time. I think 20 minutes a day, 3-5 days a week would be a good starting goal for you! I work at one of the nation's best orthopedic hospitals so start slow so you don't accidentally mess with your surgical plans! Good luck!
