Goals for June 22:
1. Water.--Yes.
2. HEALTHY choices and track my foods.--Yes and yes.
3. CLEAN OFF MY DESK!!! (I need to have the space to photograph my jewelry.)--No, again!
4 BED BY 9:30!--No, but I/m going in later than usual so it worked out the same.
Got my hours at work cut temporarily (they say 2 weeks--we'll see) so I got up lateer to go in later. Maye I'll have the time and--more importantly--the energy to get some things done in my room!
I hope to fit in a workout today and tomorrow since I won't be at work as long. Friday is my son's company picnic--always at a ballgame with ballgame food (but some good choices, too!) and then Saturday is my grandson's 1st birthday! Can't believe he's been around for that long already! I'll have to be careful but I'm not going to obsess--and I am definately going to have fun!
Goals for June 23:
1. Water.
2. Healthy choices and track my foods.
3. PLEASE--get the desk cleared off!!

Don't even think I posted for today. I have been overly tired the last couple days.
So, tomorrow is a new day. Hope everyone has a great one!
June 24th goals:
1. Gallon of water....I am a bit dehydrated. I know people think that is crazy with as much water as I drink, but I work on a farm,
outside all day long, usually am soaked through my clothes from sweat before 8:30 am.
2. Get my 80 ears of corn in the deep freezer. Gotto love the perks of working on a farm.
3. Be nice to my hubby, cause he is grumpy the last couple days and that just makes me grumpy too. 2 Grumpy people in 1
house doesn't work well.
Hope you feel better Silver.
And hey, I AM MAYO FREE FOR 24 DAYS.0 -
Momma, being Mayo-free for 24 days is an awesome accomplishment!! I am so glad to have been a part of witnessing you kick the habit!!
Kathy, have fun at the picnic! I can't believe your little guy is turning a year old already! I love the profile pic, I bet he is even more adorable in person! Did you make it to bed early?? not me, seems like its the only time when the house is quiet these days.
Confidence- how's the blood work? what's the video about (if you don't mind me asking)? My push up challenge kinda came to a halt as I hurt my elbow. it is better now so I will try to resume the challenge, but work my way back into it slowly.
silver, I hope everything checks out okay at the doc!
Terry, enjoy time with your dad and your fam. We'll understand if you can't make daily goals and we will be here for you, so jump back in when you're ready. So I've gone 2 days without late night snacking, ever since the granola-raisin-peanut butter experiment! LOL
Kim, how's your leg feeling?? Hopefully getting some rest is all you needed!
steph, how long have you been playing the piano?
skis, hope there was nothing serious wrong with the car! I'm so glad you found us again! We'll end the month strong!0 -

frubjious... Thank you! :flowerforyou: I'm on my second round, so I know L3 is like a step down. I'm starting it tomorrow again! The first round I sucked at it. I hope I'm better at the moves this time! :happy: I hope your leg is doing better today!Don't worry, the jump to level 3 is not nearly as big as the jump to 2. You'll do brilliantly.
Leela... "Try not to eat foods that are hot because it makes me hotter. " I KNOW! I always think that with my tea!! I don't know how people can drink hot hot coffee everyday. I put 2 ice cubes in my tea every time to make it warm-ish. Oh, and :laugh: I've been playing the piano for about a week! I bought a keyboard in December... or January? with the intention of learning to play. I've always sung, so I can basically understand what the sheet music is telling me. I'm working with a "for Dummies" book (I hate that series though. I need to get something out of the library again), and it's pretty straightforward so far. I really love piano. We have an upright in storage as well, but it's all out of tune. I'm glad your daughter is taking swimming lessons! I did that as a kid too!
MissConfidence... Hope that Shred is coming along well! :happy
Mommawarrior... You are doing amazing with the mayo!! I liked reading about your substitutions several posts ago. Great job!0 -
June 25:June 24:
1) Eat ONE healthy dinner, and close the kitchen for the night. YES - Plus a bowl of fruit, which my mom made for me. :happy: I was having miso soup in one of my small bowls, and my mom laughed at me, cause right beside it was my huge (2 cup) tea cup.
1) Return overdue library items
2) D1 L3 after I go to grandma's
3) Piano practice
4) Write out my goals!!! I keep forgetting my game plan!! :grumble:
5) Log my foods again (pre-plan some, and take food to grandma's, so I don't starve and then eat bad)0 -
Kinda quiet around here today. Kathy and Steph, thanks for keeping me company!
Ya know, Steph, I still can't swim! never learned. It was one of those things that I made sure my daughter learned to do. Now she loves the water. I don't force her to take lessons, she takes them because she enjoys them. When she turns 10, she wants to sign up for the jr. lifeguard program, so she already has a goal to reach!
So I opened my mouth too soon about my workout. Didn't get it done as the phone rang as soon as I was done on the computer. Still had a bunch of stuff to do. So needless to say, Friday was my rest day.
Saturday's goals:
1. eat healthy all day, all water, no pop.
2. workout before taking my daughter swimming (just to practice. Her actually lessons start Mon)
3. clean the bathrooms (the only chore that didn't get done Fri)
4. get my daughter's bike fixed and then take her to ride on the bike path (IDK if I mentioned this one in the past, but I have really been procrastinating on getting it done)0 -
June 24th goals:
1. Gallon of water....I am a bit dehydrated. I know people think that is crazy with as much water as I drink, but I work on a farm,
outside all day long, usually am soaked through my clothes from sweat before 8:30 am. _ YES....like a gallon and a half!
2. Get my 80 ears of corn in the deep freezer. Gotto love the perks of working on a farm. - YES
3. Be nice to my hubby, cause he is grumpy the last couple days and that just makes me grumpy too. 2 Grumpy people in 1
house doesn't work well. - YES, sortof! LOL
June 25th goals
1. Bike at least 15 miles
2. Gallon of water
3. Laundry
4. I have no 4. LOL
Leela, when your daughter goes through the Jr. Lifeguard program maybe she will teach you to swim.0 -
June 25th goals

2. Gallon of water - BIG YES....I had over half a gallon in before noon.
3. Laundry - FAIL....
4. I have no 4. LOL

2. Clean up the kitchen from yesterday (I hate leaving dishes for the next day) and leave it clean tonight!
3. Clean the bathrooms, sweep and mop all my floors and vacuum.
4. Get the checkbook all caught up (before I screw up the bank account!)
Hope you all have a great day.
Oh Steph, I typed this while enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee! LOL :drinker:0 -
Goals for June 24 and 25:
1. Water.--6/24--yes. 6/25--no.
2. Take it easy on the not-so-healthy foods at the company party and Isaac's birthday.--Yes and yes!
3. Finish clearing off my desk.--No.
Well. I think I did okay for the 2 days of celebrating we had. I was over a bit on calories both days but not too badly. The sodium from Friday night has me feeling bloated and I did NOT drink enough water on Saturday. Back on the straight and narrow today!
Leela and Steph--Actually, there is a school of thought that holds that heating up your insides will make you feel cooler! I don't believe it, though! I do find that on our (relatively rare) hot days I prefer lukewarm to ice-cold, though.
I do drink my morning coffee hot, though.
Steph--Did you know that there are free piano lessons online? Just google it and you'll find lots of them! (My DD is thinking of learning the guitar and we found free lessons for that, too!)
Hi, Momma! Great bike ride! I need to get my behind moving--I have really slacked off on that, lately.
Goals for June 26:
1. WATER and LOTS of it!
2. Healthy choices and log all my foods.
3. Go for a walk or do a workout--at least 30 minutes!
4. Bed by 9:30.0 -
June 26:June 25:
1) Return overdue library items - YES
2) D1 L3 after I go to grandma's - NO
3) Piano practice - NO - I underestimate my time and my abilities to do stuff during that time, sometimes (I could have, but I didn't)
4) Write out my goals!!! I keep forgetting my game plan!! :grumble: - YES
5) Log my foods again (pre-plan some, and take food to grandma's, so I don't starve and then eat bad) - YES, but the pre-planning fell through, and I went over
1) Shred D1 L3
2) BFBM
3) Log food
4) Eat well
5) MAKE THAT VEGGIE DRINK!!
6) Practice piano/search piano lessons online :bigsmile:
7) Make a to-do list of all the stuff I gotta get done tomorrow :frown:

Leela... That's awesome about your daughter wanting to swim and take the lifeguard route! My mom and aunt wanted that for me, but I stopped going to lessons after several years. Haha. I got to the level just below the lifeguard training. Sometimes I wish that someone had forced me to stay in them, or forced me to keep taking tap dance, or violin lessons, or anything else that I decided to stop taking, but they didn't. Now I can just do a little of everything, but that doesn't help me much. Maybe YOU can register for some lessons! :bigsmile: My aunt taught us all to swim, and my sister was a water rat. She was swimming the earliest of all of us. My family has a season pass to a local recreation area, so we plan on lots of water/beach time this summer. PS - My bike has been "un-fixed" for years! :laugh:
Mommawarrior... I strongly dislike dishes. I don't mind doing them, but it seems like as soon as they are done, there are more!! My family never stops eating!! And we have to do them by hand. :frown: I'm trying to get into the pattern of doing them last thing at night, and then again first thing in the morning, because there are ALWAYS more in the morning to do. :grumble: I hope your coffee made you nice and warm. I had a tea yesterday with my double ice cubes, and thought about that conversation. Great miles on the bike! Happy cleaning!
pmjsmom... Thanks for sharing that idea about heating up! I don't believe that in terms of hot water/food, but sometimes, after my workout, I get really cold. I think it's a lack of good circulation, but this kind of rings true to when that happens to me. And thanks for the piano lessons suggestion! I have looked online before, but I should do it again. I was going by some lessons on YouTube as well (aka, I found them, but I have yet to watch them... it's hard when the computer and my keyboard are in different rooms). If you have the link, may I ask which one your husband was using for guitar? I'm also learning to play that more as well. I took a course, and was taught some chords by my vocal coach, but I'm pretty bad still. Hope you get that 30 min walk/workout! I got mine this morning.0 -
Hi, Momma! Great bike ride! I need to get my behind moving--I have really slacked off on that, lately.
Do you mountain bike? That is what my husband and I do, but I would love to get into road biking too. My husband is not so interested in that though, so I doubt that will happen anytime soon.0 -

Steph, we have a dishwasher but I don't use it cause I HATE TO UNLOAD IT. So, I do them by hand too. There is only 3 of us here and our daughter is never home to dirty dishes, and I am so bad that I make her do her own when she is. (She is 17, graduated highschool this year, has had a full time job in a doctor's office for a year (we home schooled so she did her school work around her job) and she volunteers in the community college theater. She has been doing her own laundry since the 5th grade....just preparing her for life man! LOL)
So you see there is really no reason for me to leave dirty dishes at night. I am just lazy! LOL
Can't wait to have my evening hot cup of coffee. LOVE YA0 -

Mommawarrior... Ahh... I see how it is with the dishes. I had a dishwasher when I was at college last year, and it was HEAVEN!! My other housemates usually unloaded it. One time, we ran out of dishwasher soap, so I put in regular dish soap, and there were suds ALL across the kitchen! And none of my housemates were home to see it, so I took a photo and showed them later. My housemate's mom saw the photo, and laughed. She said her husband once did the same thing. :laugh: My 19 yr old sister rarely does the dishes. Sometimes she says she does, when it was really me. One time she actually did them, and my mom didn't believe her. Enough about dishes though. I'm having another frozen borage flower, ice cube tea. Coffee at night? My night tea has chamomile for sleepy time. :happy:0 -
