Sorry I haven't been very consistent checking in. One of my goals this week is to set daily goals to stay accountable.
May 9's goals:
1. walk in the morning.
2. shred in the afternoon.
3. drink plenty of water.
4. eat dinner at a reasonable time.
5. go to bed early.0 -
Goals for Friday:
1. Get everything at work done so I can enjoy next week guilt free - I did, it took forever!
2. Choose carefully at dinner tonight but still enjoy it.- No, I worked late so a trip to the cinema and followed by dinner at a seafood place turned into flopping on the sofa with a pizza and a dvd. I was too tired to mind really.:blushing:
3. Walk at lunch - No lunch break just worked through.
Good morning all you lovely ladies (and the occasional gent that wonders through)!
I am off work for the week and I couldn't be happier. I'm not going anywhere I'm going to strip the horrendous textured wall paper:sick: in my living room that has been bothering me every day since I moved in. Not everyone's idea of a good time but its going to make such a difference and I just love painting walls!:laugh: Yup mental. I think its all time I spent putting painting galleries at uni.
Any way today's goals:
1. Under on calories
2. Plenty of water
3. Some sort of exercise
4. Finish clearing the living room & get going
5. Second colour in friends brithday lino print
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Welcome, Rivera and Lisa Marie! Some of us copy and paste our previous post but some of us click on the 'quote' near the bottom of each post. It's up to you how you want to report in!
Over all, yesterday was a pretty good day. The overindulgences of the weekend kept me from losing this week but I also didn't gain so that's okay. I hope to see a loss next week, though!
I am going to try a yoga routine (as soon as I am done here) that I found on Netflix. It's called Yoga for Aches and Pains and I am hoping it will help with my morning aches.

1. Water.

Rivera, I find it easiest to just find the thread under My Topics when I want to come back!! It's easy to find! Welcome to you and LIsa-Marie! Glad to have you!
And Leela, yes it's finally over!!! I have summer classes starting in a week but it won't be nearly as hectic! I'm just waiting on one more grade. Thank goodness.
Just a little update! I woke up and ran today and it felt soooo good (even though I couldn't run very far... yet. haha)

Today was a strange sort of day. Had to dash to my brother's after work to collect my wellies from my mum as she was babysitting my nieces. Was fun seeing everyone but by the time I got back home it was too late to put the laundry on. Had dinner with them which was lovely. Have pretty much got everything sorted for my trip. Just have to pick one thing up and actually pack it all but it should be fine (I hope)!!

Morning Everyone,
Welcome newbies!
Kathy - I hope he yoga works for you.
Nam - Lol, can't wait to hear where you're going!
I had far too much fun yesterday. I went up to London to meet a friend and see the new Miro exhibition at the Tate. I had a brilliant time, rather too many drinks though and I'm really feeling it today. The prospect of standing up a ladder and sanding walls down with a power sander didn't really cross my mind last night. Muppet. Ah well on the up side my friend uses this site too (she called cuttingandsticking) and she was looking really lovely. It really reminded me of what's possible and inspired me to keep trying.
Thursdays goals:
1. Healthy choices
2. Nip to the supermarket for so can actually make healthy choices
3. Water. Lots and lots of water, maybe the first with a paracetamol
4. More on the walls
Have a lovely day!
