    Good luck on your goals everyone!

    missloser, add as many goals as you want. Sometimes I have a whole laundry list of things to do too and I know I probably won't get them all done, but I have a better chance of remembering it once i've written it down, or I'll pop back on midday just to see if I left anything out. I love your fiber goal. I take fiber supplements now since I am not getting enough from my food.

    silver, how's your grandmother?

    Terry, I'm so glad you're back on track on the road to success!

    Momma, I love how you and your husband do activities together. I'm actually a little envious! I really wish he was more involved in that part of my life! What's the deal with the mayo? I know you mentioned once before that you put it on everything! are there other condiments that you like that you can use as a substitute? I've heard of people using plain yogurt because the taste and textures are similar.

    Goals for June 8:
    1. Water. --Yes.
    2. Be careful with portions tonight (DDs BF is making dinner) and track my food.--Yes and the best I could. I was probably over but that's okay for ONE day!
    3. Don't stress about stupid stuff that I can't change!--Need to work on this!
    4. Bed by 9:30.--Yes, but did not sleep well at all last night!

    Had trouble logging the seafood chowder Matt made for dinner yesterday AND I had a piece of the yogurt poke cake I made (but only 1 piece) so I'm pretty sure I went over on my calories. But, WOW, was it ever GOOD!

    I haven't been sleeping well the past few nights and I'm not sure why. The windows are open so maybe I need to get used to 'neighborhood' sounds again!

    Good for you, NikkiJ!

    Hi Nicole! Keep in touch! (And I also thank Leela!)

    Our wireless signal has been bad lately so I have trouble getting here at times. I did put a different browser on my phone so I can read posts better but that gets hard on the old eyes! Oh well, it's better than nothing!

    Goals for June 9:
    1. Water.
    2. Healthy portions and track my food.
    3. Don't stress about things I have no power over!

    Wednesday:
    1. Healthy choices
    2. Walk
    3. Run
    4. Tidy

    Hi,

    I had a bit of a melt down yesterday. After a very long and difficult day at work I got some photos through of myself at a friends wedding when I had thought I looked pretty good and I looked almost the same as I did in the photo that inspired me to change it all in the first place! It was perhaps the lowest point I've had since starting this process. Needless to say I did the mature thing whined something about eight months well spent and ordered a pizza. I feel pretty silly about all the drama today because now I look at them the pictures aren't that bad and I know I've lost weight and I am as I type, wearing clothes two sizes smaller. I've lost perspective somewhere so I'm going to take today off, not go nuts, I'll still eat my salad, but just think about things other then diet and weight loss. Try to remember that losing weight is nice but not the most important thing in my life and then get back on it tomorrow, better then ever.

    Hope you're all having a great day.

    Momma, I love how you and your husband do activities together. I'm actually a little envious! I really wish he was more involved in that part of my life! What's the deal with the mayo? I know you mentioned once before that you put it on everything! are there other condiments that you like that you can use as a substitute? I've heard of people using plain yogurt because the taste and textures are similar.

    Thanks ... we actually just started biking about 3 weeks ago. But we do love it.
    The mayo is just a thing I love. I have always loved it and after I started actually counting calories and realized that in just over a week I had eaten 1200 calories in mayo alone, I decided that that alone will kill any progress I make regardless of how healthy besides it that I eat. So, it is gone. Mayo is the only condiment I use, except salad dressing, so if I want something I just use ranch, but I am actually doing fine without it. I put just a bit of ranch on my hamburger last night and didn't miss the mayo at all!


    Hope everyone else is doing great this week.

  • Let too many days go by without updating my goals... Suffice it to say I didn't stay on track and honestly I really missed reading all your posts and see how everyone is doing! Looks like there's lots of goals being met, and that's awesome!

    Leela, I'm still trying to get fiber in through my food but if it continues being such a struggle I might have to opt for supplements as well.. It really seems like the hardest thing for me to get "the hang of"!!

    My goals for Friday:

    1) 5 mile walk - Done 1 so far
    2) Water - Half way through
    3) 30 grams fiber - 18 grams to go...

    Friday's recap:
    Tomorrow's goals are plan and simple:

    2. eat right. NO, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE.
    3. stay hydrated. YES!
    4. 10 reg push ups, 20 girlie push ups (do them early so I don't get caught up and forget to do them or have to do them at 9pm like tonight). NOPE, I DIDNT FOLLOW MY OWN ADVICE. I NEED TO DO THEM AS SOON AS I WAKE UP!
    5. have fun! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! (THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE)

    YAY! Laundry is already done, so I don't have to add it to my list. I would put "clean sneakers" again, but I know I probably won't do it again...lol

    Have a great night!

    So Friday we went to the jelly belly factory. It was tons of fun. I got a small bag of sugar free jelly bellies. while we were there, I bought an italian sausage (minus the bread), a small bag of sun chips (I gave most of them to my daughter) and a diet pepsi. Later, we stopped by mcdonalds, I got a mcchicken sandwich (minus the bun and mayo...just for you momma....lol), and a swiped a few of my daughter's fries. Ordered a light lemonade (5 cals per 8oz). So all in all, I think I did pretty good under the circumstances.

    Saturday's goals:
    1. workout early!!!
    2. make sure there are no left overs in the frige before cooking something new.
    3. go to the fruit market to restock.

    1. Under on calories - Did really well until supper then it all fell apart
    2. Water - Yes:drinker:
    3. Run - No, leg was killing me after lunchtime walk
    4. Draw up a meal plan - No
    5. Supermarket - Yes

    Hi,

    Sorry to all you posters I've been a bit self-involved and flaky this week. I'm finding it pretty hard to stay on track this week. It had all started to feel a bit easier and come more naturally before I had my freak out, I’m hoping it was just work stress and I go back to being my regular self now. Still try again today.

    Jess – Read your blog and I really sympathise, for me its high fat foods, one always leads to another. Keep trying; we’re going to do really well at this.

    Silver – What’s your new major?

    Tinacuso – Welcome!

    Momma – Hows life after mayo? I love it too, I just had to cut out things that I would eat it with. I’ve heard that hummus sometimes works quite well as a substitute. Not the same but might be worth a try.

    Teresa – How did it go with the HRM? I just my micoach pacer through to train for a marathon (gulp!:noway: ) next year and can’t wait to get it all set up and running.

    Leela – How are the push ups going? Do you have a target in mind?

    Kathy – Hope your sleeping better now.

    Sorry to anyone I’ve missed.

    On to todays goals:
    1. Under on calories. No excuses Kim!
    2. Water
    3. Set up micoach
    4. Iliotibial band syndrome exercises:sad:
    5. Work on the house

    Hope you’re all have a lovely weekend.
