Morning!
Leela, thanks for being here with me.
Come back people, we miss you!
Yesterday was a really good day, but running after work was tough, its been tough all week. Ever since I’ve put my name down for the chance to enter this marathon I’m having real trouble. I know what the problem is, I’m trying to go too fast and constantly thinking about how I’m doing, and how its not good enough yet, how will I manage 4 or 5 hours when today 10 minutes so far is kicking my butt? If I just eased up and had a bit of faith and thought about how far I’ve come instead of still to go, it would be fine. It’s not all bad, I burnt tonnes of calories wrestling with it, so it’s still a win!
Fridays Goals:
1. Healthy choices
2. Get out of work on time, get the weekend started!
3. Run – Get out of my own head and just get on with it
4. Water0 -
Haven't been here for a couple of days. Sorry!!! For some reason my mornings have been busier than usual.
So--for the last 2 days--1. Water.--Yes and Yes.
2. Portion control and log my foods.--No and No.
3. AM Yoga routine--Done.--Yes and No.
4. Bed by 9:30.--Yes and Yes.
Not doing good at all on the food--it's like I am just too tired to care right now! I've been sleeping well so I'm not sure what it is!
Is it possible that a full week of working in the sun is making me more tired? There have been more customers lately, so there's been a lot more of the customer service type of work--as well as the HUGE orders that have been coming in! (LOTS of fast walking from one end of the Garden Center to the other!)
It has been nice, though!
Goals for May 20:
1. Water.
2. PORTION CONTROL AND HEALTHY CHOICES!!!!
3. Watch the evening snacking--go to bed if I am tired--even if it IS Friday night!0 -

3. strength training, if I'm not too sore. NO

Fridays Goals:

2. Get out of work on time, get the weekend started! - Yes
3. Run – Yes!
4. Water - Yes!
Phew! Yesterdays run was brilliant, there was only one moment where i thought i might have to stop but I kept going and did my time. It makes such a difference running with a friend. I'm a little bit anxious about today. I've got a really busy schedule, seeing my brother for lunch and then heading down to Brighton for a friends birthday BBQ. I think its the lack of control over what food will be on offer. So today's plan is to work out this morning, walk in to and from my folks and don't stress about what I can't change.
Saturdays Goals
1. Work out
2. Walk
3. Water
4. Moderation
5. Have fun!
Hope you all have a lovely day.

2. Healthy energising foods particularly at dinner. YES
3. Run after work. YES
4. No chocolate. CHECK
5. Be productive all day.YES
Didn't get around to post for Friday but was pretty well behaved except at dinner. Went out for Mexican with friends. I belly laughed most of the evening so feel like even though the food wasn't that gret in terms of calories I worked on my abs!
Have to be pretty quick today as I need to get a move on this morning. Also may not be able to post later for tomorrow so I'll do them both now.
Saturday:
1. Rest leg.
2. Water.
3. Clothes shopping - need a couple of tops for work.
4. Waxing.
5. Have fun.
Sunday:
1. Water.
2. 3 x classes planned but do what I can and not overdo. If my leg is still bad DON'T DO ANYTHING (and try not to get too upset about this).
3. Healthy food.
4. Have fun - friends coming to the gym with me. It's a club as well so we plan to chill out by the pool if the weather is good.
5. Iron shirts.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!0 -
What a great idea this is
I'm Sue.
I'm a typical yo you dieter who has only ever had short term success (unsurprisingly I guess!)
I'm about 3 stone overweight, but would be happy to lose half of that and keep it off.
I've never used the forums before ....perhaps I should have.
I'm going to set myself goals for the week ahead as I'm away from home on a training course at a hotel with a very nice restaurant and there will be little to do in the evenings other than eat and drink.
Goals for this week.
1. Don't let my disappointing first weeks results get me down
2. Post daily to help keep me focussed
3. Don't exceed my calorie goal by more than 100 calories any day
4. Do some form of exercise each day0 -
Goals for May 20:
1. Water.--Yes.
2. PORTION CONTROL AND HEALTHY CHOICES!!!!--Oh my. Did really good until the ice cream last night!
3. Watch the evening snacking--go to bed if I am tired--even if it IS Friday night!--It was 1/2 fat ice cream but I did not have just 1 portion!
Cloudy today and a bit cooler. Got lots to do! Have a great day, everyone!
Goals for May 21:
1. Water.
2. Stay in my calories (and away from the ice cream!).
3. WORK OUT!!!
4. Clean the refrigerator (I hope!).
5. Buy new work shoes--6 hours a day on concrete really does a job on the poor old feet!

3. WORK OUT!!!--No.
4. Clean the refrigerator (I hope!).--Yes.

So my son and I went grocery shopping after getting the shoes (he needed some, too). He bought the shoes and I bought the groceries. Got some good buys but it sure cut into the day and I ended up not getting a workout in.
Leele--I've had to do that with my drawers, and once my shelves are up I'll have to do that with my craft supply boxes! Good for you for getting it done!
