    Ok..... I know I've disappeared for like a month, but I'm gonna really try to start coming back. I feel like I've gotten my portion control under control pretty well. I mean, even without logging/counting my calories, I'm pretty sure I've lost weight over this last month! Of course, as I've not been counting calories I'm not sure how I've been doing in relation to my goals...... At any rate, now over the summer I want to see if I can't get into some other habits: mainly, water and workouts!

    6-21-2011 fitness goals
    1. 8 cups of water
    2. Under on calories, carbs & fats
    3. Do SOME kind of exercise
    4. Allow for a late snack, but don't make it after 9:30..... Doctor appointment on Wednesday and I need blood work done.

    6-21-2011 non-fitness goals
    1. Fill out job applications
    2. Cut coupons
    3. Clean out old car

    Morning Everyone,

    Welcome back SKismet!

    I'm afraid I didn't get anything sensible done yesterday. I’ve been pretty sketchy over the last few weeks. I’ve used plenty of excuses to myself and even got pretty bad at logging but that all stops now. I’m back at work today so eating well is easier. I’ve reset my weight loss rate to 1lb a week, & I’m going to throw myself into exercise. I’ve got 11 weeks till my friends wedding so its crunch time (literally!). I’m going to make sure I have more variety in my routine this time. I’m pretty excited about it.

    Goals for today:
    1. Under on calories
    2. Exercise: Walk, Swim, Body Combat & 30 sit ups before bed
    3. Water! Lots of water, that bottle doesn’t leave my hand today.
    4. Make tomorrows salady lunchy bits before bed
    5. Laundry (its never ending!)

    Have a great day!

    June 20:
    1) Get everything done on the To Do list on my desk (emails, phone calls) YES - Most of it...
    2) Shred (D8 L2) - NO, but I did it today!
    3) BFBM - NO
    4) Eat at regular times - NO
    5) Eat only if / when hungry - NO
    6) Eat veggies for snacks - NO... ugh
    7) Keep organizing my room - NOPE
    8) Be kind to siblings - SOMEWHAT
    9) Language studies - YES
    10) Piano studies - NO, but I did it today
    11) Driving practice - YES, lots
    June 22:
    1) Send the 3 emails that I need to send
    2) Shred D9 L3
    3) Eat good
    4) Language studies
    5) Piano studies
    6) Work on small business products
    7) Eat more veggies for snacks
    8) Make the veggie juice that I bought beets for days ago, haha!
    9) No sweeteners in my teas!
    10) Pre-log meals and STICK TO IT!!!

    I was really proud today that I did the Shred, and I did it really early - before 10am, and usually I do it around noon. Unfortunately, I was WAAAY over fat today, and I didn't need to log it to know that. I started logging today, but when lunch hit, I just gave up. Eating is such a huge challenge for me these days, which is kind of unfortunate, cause I used to be good at eating healthy (and not at working out).
    _________

    frubjious... Great time on your race!!
    I hope you all are doing better then me
    Teresa... Nope, I'm right there with ya!

    Morning!

    Steph – Wow, almost at the end of 30DS! Great work, is it you first time through it or have you done it before? How have you been finding it?

    Sadly I didn’t make it to swimming or Body combat last night. There was a bad traffic jam on the way to my gym last night so I turned round and went for a run when I got home instead.

    Personal victory yesterday, it was boys poker night at my house last night, all the guys were having pizza & beer. I had steamed veg with a little chilli sauce. Normally pizza is like kryptonite, nothing makes me crumble faster.

    1. Under on calories

    3. Make tomorrow’s lunch before bed
    4. Exercise: Walk, Swim & Sit Ups

    Just wanted to say that I am so proud of everyone for staying in the fight. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into month! I love everyone's commitment. I know life gets hectic sometimes, so if you know that you're going to be busy for the next few days, set your goals up in advance and check back in when you can. Let's end this month on a high note!

    2) Walk 2 hours........................................................................................YES
    3) veggies, veggies please eat your veggies :bigsmile: ................NO
    4) drink 4 bottles of water...........................................................YES

    I just haven't had the time to keep up logging in, But I've been doing pretty good with staying under my calories. But have done poorly, not eating my veggies.
    But as long as I'm staying Under my calorie goal, Im happy with that.

    Good Luck to you all! Stay strong

    Wednesdays Goals:
    1. Under on calories - Yes
    2. Water - Yes
    3. Make tomorrow’s lunch before bed - No, did it this morning.
    4. Exercise: Walk, Swim & Sit Ups - It rained most of the day, but I went for a run (so much for variety, running buddy switched days) and I forgot about the sit ups:blushing: !

    My leg is letting me know i pushed it a little too far on the run last night. I know I should rest it.

    Todays goals:
    1. Rest - maybe gentle swim later (i'll get to the pool one of these days)
    2. Water
    3. Sit ups before bed.

    Have a lovely day!
