    2. Exercise: Shred (done), Walk at lunch, Run after work, & Body Balance this evening.
    3. Meal plan

    1. Water (Better but not as much as I wanted... sunday not so good.)
    2. Lots of homework done. (I was productive... but once again... not as productive as I wanted to be... mainly because I pulled out the Dawson's Creek season I have on DVD... lol)
    3. Healthier choices (Did well Friday and ok over the weekend)

    I maintained this week... not too bad and at least I didn't gain. This week my foot is feeling better so hopefully I'll have some time to make it to the gym. I'm doing lots of red cross blood drive volunteering though which is going to take up a lot of time. So goals for today:

    1. Water
    2. Start studying for Psych exam so I don't have to cram the last minute.
    3. Don't take the bus... anywhere.
    4. Healthier choices for at least a meal.

    Here's to a good week with lots of weight loss!!!!

    4-17-2011 goals
    1. Up water intake to at least 6 cups - No. :ohwell: And I was so positive on this one!
    2. Do some type of exercise - Not really
    3. Log dinner as closely as possible (Boyfriend's family invited me over again, and it's just HARD to figure those dinners out sometimes! lol) - Tried, no idea how I actually did. :laugh:
    4. Get the rest of taxes ready to out in the mail tomorrow (Have to pay this year, so, yes, I will admit to procrastinating on this a TON! :laugh: ) - No, lost more of my evening going over to dinner than I expected.
    5. Set goals for tomorrow before bed tonight - Obviously not since I'm doing this now. :laugh:
    6. Bed by 10:30, sleep by 11 - No. :ohwell: Had some phone calls that kept me up. At least I was able to sleep in this morning, though!
    Nam - Best of luck with your marathon goal! I'm SURE you'll be able to do it. :smile:

    Kim - I'm sure you'll be fine!

    Nicole - Glad to hear your foot is feeling better. I hope the blood drive goes well for you, and you stick with your goal to study early!

    Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been on this thread for a few days again, nothing like a kid's birthday to screw up your eating plans!! I weigh in next Monday and the batteries are dead in my scale so I have one main goal this week: LOW CARBS! I have had a very sugary weekend and now I have to recover! The kids are out on spring break this week which won't make it any easier but I can do this :)

    Monday's goals:
    1. Keep my carbs around 50.
    2. Stay under on cals.
    3. 100 oz water
    4. at least get in a 30 min walk this afternoon

    Late, 3 am. I'm trying to get a bunch of things done and this is the only time that the house is completely quiet! I should really get in the bed. My daughter gets up in about 3 hours.

    Today’s Goals:
    1. 3 Litres of water - Yes
    2. Shred, Walk, Run, & Body Balance. - Everything but the Body Balance
    3. Meal plan - Yes
    4. Supermarket - Yes

    Morning Everyone!

    Upping the anti really worked yesterday (3lb off on the scale this morning! Water probably but it still felt awesome to see the numbers going the right way again :happy: ). Sadly no body balance but the rest went really well. Had a bit of a tired lull after work but, thanks to Nam’s encouragement :flowerforyou:, I got down the park and it felt great. It was the first day of the new week in C25k. Running for the full 5k is still a way off but it doesn't seem impossible any more. Just as well really, I’ve only got 8 weeks left.

    Tuesday’s Goals:
    1. Under on calories
    2. 3 Litres of water
    3. Walk & something else
    4. House work!

    Have a great day!

    Going to be sunny (but cool) today! I am working a few more hours now so that means even more walking and lifting, etc. at work. I also hope to get some things done in the yard if its not too windy (I need to spread some more Moss Out and can't do that if it's windy!) Have a great day, everyone!

    Nicole

    Good morning everyone!

    First of all, Nam-- I logged in today. 5 days in a row! Pretty big for me right now... and then you were right under me with 250! Awesome job! Now I have something to reach for.

    Leela- Good to have you back! Not sure if you just changed your prof pic or not but you look great!! As for the 3am... when I get up super early to do work... I hate it... but I love it at the same time. I love it when the world is still asleep. I always think it'd be a great time to go for a run or walk around campus but I always have work.

    And finally, thank you all for your encouragement over the past couple weeks when I've been struggling to log on. Every time I would post on here someone would leave a word of encouragement or a good to have you back. When I made this challenge I never expected this support system as a result and I'm so glad we have it!

    Now that I've been nice and mushy... goals for today:

    1. No bus.
    2. Healthier choices.
    3. No eating after 8.
    4. Gym for at least 30 minutes.
    5 Water.
    6. Tons of work done.

    Lots of goals today but I know I can do it!

    See you all tomorrow!

    Nicole

    Had a tough few days. We are selling our house and moving across the country so things get a little hectic sometimes.

    Anyway, back on track today and will get back to goals tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Thanks Nicole, it is a newer pic. My arms still have a lot of work, but I'm getting there. That zumba shirt fits much better than my 10% spandex tank (think girls weighing in on BL) But I don't look nearly as good in mine!
