Leela - Lucky you having a workout buddy! I wish I did.... Come the fall, though, I'm hoping to start working out with my sister. She's already going to grad school where I'll be starting, and we've talked about having study/workout "dates" together.

Sorry I've been MIA again....I swear life keeps giving me more problems. I know its nothing I can't handle but every turn I take seems to put another road block up for me. I keep trying but its getting harder and harder to keep it up. I think I need to call my doc cause even though I'm on my meds and taking them like I'm supposed to be I still feel like I'm down in the dumps. The weather of course isn't helping. Its cold and kinda nasty. Rain is gone but its still gloomy... Hoping maybe by getting with my doc I'll be able to figure out what is going on. I'm getting tired of the mood swings and the not being able to get motivated.
Well I'm here to post some goals but its already half way thru the day and I've gotten one done already:)
1. Walk -Which I already did. Although I now know that my new shoes aren't good for cold weather.
2. Daughter's eye doc appt.
3. Clean something cause the way I've been feeling has made it hard to do so and my house is starting to show it....
Well I hope all of you have had a good one. I will check back later to see what you all have been up to.0 -
Hey Chrissy, only 5 days now! yippee! We had out tomorrow afternoon and will be there Friday!0

Morning all!
It's been a strange sort of week so haven't made it on to the thread for some reason! Today I have my last day at work for 11 days which means I have to work that much harder to get everything done before holiday! Also I've been attacked in a big way by the chocolate monster everyday which I have to stop. I plan to workout a lot while I'm off work and I must get my eating under control again. Felt like I needed to write that down on here so I can be accountable to you lovely friends and I will report back when I go back to work!
Goals for Thursday:
1. Water all day.
2. NO CHOCOLATE
3. HEalthy food.
4. Body combat after work if my legs can handle it. They feel like lead at the moment.
The sun is shining here and I am determined to make this a good day!! Hope you all have a great day!0 -

Morning Everyone!
I'm pretty proud of yesterday, the running was killer but rather then legging it out the park as soon as my time was up I stayed and carried on.
Today is the last day before the long weekend and I'm a bit worried about all time with family ("You're looking so thin! Have cake/pie/a funnel!") I love them to bits of course but boy can they eat. I'm going to have to think of something I can do to keep myself busy each time I feel like wandering into the kitchen.
Todays Goals:
1. Under on calories
2. Run after work with friend (love running with a friend, makes it really fun)
3. Stay as cheerful as i am now no matter what the day throws at me.
Have a lovely day everyone!0 -

Kathy having a bit of candy from time to time is good for the soul!!
Nicole great job on your goals and great to see you back in action on this thread!!!
Kim good luck this weekend. I remember on Christmas day everytime someone offered me something naughty I had a glass of water instead. It was surprisingly easy that way because I was distracted!! Now that Easter has turned into a chocolate fest it may be harder but you can do it!! Take all the comments as compliments!
Happy Good Friday everyone!!0 -
my goal is to log my daily goals everyday while i'm on my trip to help me stay accountable. Also to stay mindful that this is a never ending process that doesnt stop just because i go out of town. I feel like a BL contestant. I am out of my normal environment and eating and exercise routines. I am going to be faced with so many temptations. Some I will give in to, I won't lie, I am human. But this week more than ever, its about making smart choices. And dealing with the consequences lf my actions!!0

It was quite a day yesterday--lots of shrubs and perennials came in. My legs are sore today so I'm going to forgo the AM exercise this time.
Nam--I'm afraid it was more than a bit of candy I ate. A LOT more!
Leela--Have fun on your trip and I'm sure you'll do fine on the rest of it, too.
I hope everyone is planning a happy and healthy holiday weekend. Happy Easter weekend, everyone!

Hello All!!! New name, new profile.---Formerly TheNewJessieMae
Hope that it will symbolize a fresh start. I have been so caught up in bashing myself, telling myself that I can't do it, telling myself that I need to taste that nasty unhealthy food-that I have gained 11lbs of the 20 that I had originally lost. I really need to change my frame of mind. I need help. I always act very strong. I am always the strong friend in real life and everyone comes to me-I am now breaking down and coming to you and asking for help and encouragement. If I don't ask, then I will quit again soon it would only be a matter of time. I am trying to turn to positive self talk but it always helps when others speak pisitively and offer a shoulder. Thank you guys for being there.
