    Morning all!

    Have had a crazy couple of days so haven't been on here much and didn't get around to posting goals.

    I took Thursday and Friday off from working out. I felt like I needed to give my body a break but now of course I'm chomping to get back to it!

    Saturday goals:
    1. Water throughout the day.
    2. Circuits and spinning.
    3. No chocs or any treats during the day - going out for dinner so don't want to waste my calories needlessly.
    4. Have fun!

    Hope you all have a great weekend!

    Good morning lovelies!

    So yesterday I didn't get a workout in. I realise that if it doesn't happen early, it probably won't happen. Also, I never started the clothes. So that's on the top of the list today.

    Juen 4's goals:
    1. laundry, laundry, laundry.
    2. eat the meal that I already planned out.
    3. remember to take my vitamins/ supplements.

    That's it, pretty short and sweet today. I am feeling much better. I'm glad whatever I had didn't last long.
    Nikki, great job on the food bill. That's always an ongoing argument in the house, how much I spend on groceries. He really hates when I buy things specifically for a new recipe and then it doesn't turn out good! lol. Now when I try new recipes, I try to work with the ingredients that I already have.

    Everyone have a great weekend. I love the energy from the thread this month. Let's keep up the momentum throughout the weekend and beyond!

    Goals for June 3:
    1 Water.--Yes.
    2. Healthy choices and track food.--No and yes.
    3. Get to bank and do some grocery shopping after work.--Yes and yes.
    4. Watch the evening snacking!--I was BAD!

    Evidently, the retirement account people didn't give me all the information I needed for my signature guarantee that I need to get. I let the frustration get to me and I shouldn't have but it was SO aggravating to finally be able to get to the bank and then find out it wasn't the simple process the fund people had lead me to believe it was! After the WAY TOO BUSY day at work I just let go and ate a bunch of cookies and a couple of candy bars.
    You know what, though? There was a time when there wouldn't have been any cookies left for anyone else and this time I stopped after a handful!

    Goals for June 4:
    1. WATER!!!) I have a hard time with this on the weekends.)
    2. Healthy choices and track my foods.
    3. Sort more of my jewelry supplies.
    4. NO MINDLESS SNACKING!
    5. Yoga before bed (gentle type to help me sleep).

    This sounds like exactly what I need... Thanks Leela!

    Saturday goals:

    1) Drink 2 liters of water
    2) Log my food
    3) Walk at least 5 miles
    4) Do something relaxing
    5) Drink 1 cup of green tea (would like to have this become a daily habit b/c of the antioxidants in green tea)
    6) Have slightly less sugar in my coffee than I did yesterday (am doing this practically granule by granule, lol! But, it's working.)

    Have a great saturday everyone!

    Had a little time to catch up. I really hope I didn't miss anyone!

    MissLoser- welcome! glad you dropped by. Once you make it habit forming it will become just like second nature. You're doing a great job with your goals. I need to start back getting into the habit of shredding too.

    Nam, how'd you do with avoiding chocolate? :)

    Pam, I love your third goal, being more patient. Lately, my days have started early and ended late and my patience starts to run thin toward the end of the day and I often end up taking it out on someone else.

    Oh Kathy, don't worry about your sugar binge. You'll be fine. I'm sure its not something that you make a habit of doing.

    Momma, great job on avoiding mayo. I need to kick the soda habit. I usually drink on average 1 can a day. Sometimes two! :( My car needs a good washing too. I need to wash it by hand and get the nooks and crannies that an automatic car wash can't reach.

    Lareisha, don't worry about not meeting your goals. That's the beauty of this thread. And it wouldn't be considered much of a "challenge" if its something that's easy to do! I have noticed that I haven't been setting the best example on here as I sometimes fall short of meeting my goals, but that's okay. There's always tomorrow!

    Hey Terry, hope you're having a fab weekend!

    Wheelie, sometimes I check back in midday and realize I have to get moving if I plan on getting it all done! We all have pokey days! :)

    Silver, where do you do zumba? I did zumba yesterday, I'm a little sore this morning!

    aww that's so sweet of you to write to all of us individually! I'm thinking I need to try something else if the 30ds is too hard for me to get back into.. Just get bored of the same three workouts, I suppose, even though I know I get results. It's a mind thing I think! I'm really digging this thread, this is a brilliant idea and really keeps me motivated. So thank you again! :)

    OMG, its not even the same 3 workouts that I'm sick of, I'm sick of Jillian's voice and the music. So I will create a playlist on the computer that's about 25 minutes long and play it while I shred. I just have to be consistent with it because I did see results too. Level 1 is the hardest for me because all the jumping jacks are hard on my knees.
    Do you have exercisetv as part of your cable service? It has great workouts on there and every month they add new ones and keep a few of the old ones. Even if you don't have it on your tv, you can go to exercisetv.tv and they have a lot of the same ones.
