    Hi Everyone,

    I keep doing the same thing, I do really well all day, make healthy choices, eat sensibly and then throw it all away right at the end of the day. What a muppet! I'm feeling pretty frustrated at the moment. I don't have an excuse, I'm just not being discaplined enough at the moment. Any way, enough, no point beating myself just have to try harder.

    Tuesdays goals:
    1. Under on calories. With out fail.
    2. Shred, walk & something else
    3. Plan meals for the week.
    4. Early night.

    Hope you all have a lovely day.

    May 2 goals:
    1. Water.--Yes.
    2. Log my food!--Yes! AND I'm under (by 15 calories! LOL!)
    3. AM workout.--Done.
    4. Bed by 9:30.--Yes.

    So, I did not do another workout yesterday--unless you count picking up the cracker crumbs the my grandson got all over the carpet! Do his parents REALLY not see those?

    Anyway--mentally it wasn't a good day--I felt cranky and depressed most of the day--which doesn't help with my emotional eating tendencies. BUT!!! I stuck to healthy choices and stayed within my calories (and, more importantly, carbs) and feel a lot better this morning!

    Welcome to any newbies I missed. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: This has become my absolutely favorite thread!

    Goals for May 3:
    1. Water.
    2. Log ALL my food.
    3. AM workout.--Done.
    4. Bed by 9:30.

    Hello everyone! My name is Shanda
    I've been apart of MFP since September 2010. About a month ago I hit rock bottom and quit on myself. So I deactivated my account and started fresh again. Maybe it was a stupid way of doing things, but it gave me that boost i needed. Since September i lost 22 pounds, gained 7 back, lost 5, gained 5 back....you know how it goes. Im a food addict and its an everyday struggle to stay away.
    These daily goals are what I need!

    1) To stay off MFP today during work, to get all my paperwork logged in
    2) Drink at least 10 cups of water today
    3) 30 minutes of cardio

    Mondays Goals
    1) To stay off MFP today during work, to get all my paperwork logged in ~~ Somewhat done lol
    2) Drink at least 10 cups of water today ~~ Done!

    Tuesdays Goals
    1) Clean up the house before my daughters tball practice
    2) Stay under calories
