  • Silver – What’s your new major?

    I switched back to business. I'm pre-business for next semester and then I can declare a field and I'm going to do accounting. :) I think I'll like it...I HOPE! ;)

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

    The goal is to be able to do 30 real push ups by the end of the month by increasing one regular push ups and decreasing one girlie push up everyday. I wouldn't mind breaking them up into 3 sets of 10, but I want them to be consecutive, not 10 in the morning, 10 in the afternoon, 10 in the evening. I want to be able to chase the burn to see better results. I do the regular push ups on the ground. Most times I do girlie push ups from my knees. Or I will do them off the wall or off the third step on the staircase. It's so hard to do them everyday, esp when I train and do other things. Its a lot of fatigue on the arms to do them everyday. some days I forget, some days, my arms just flat out hurt and I just try to get through the real ones and not the ones from my knees!

    Goals for June 10:
    1. Water.--Yes.

    3. Watch the evening snacking.--Yes. Almost pigged out but stopped myself before it went too far! YAY ME!!!
    4. Sort out more of my supplies.--No. Played with my wire instead.

    Going to do lots of walking today. Our community is having a garage sale and we're not selling this year so I'll have time to check out what the others are selling. I hope to find some divided boxes for my beads and other jewelry supplies and HOPEFULLY a step for some workouts I have but haven't tried yet.

    Momma--LOVE #4 goal for June 11th! I've felt that way about family members at times, too!

    Leela--Glad you had fun. It sounds like you did pretty well under the circumstances.

    Kim--Looked up your syndrome--OUCH!!! Hope it feels better soon!

    Silver--You can do it! The shred is tough to get through--no 'at least' about it!

    Jess--Glad you are doing better. A date for an iCarly movie? Makes me miss my youngest DD--she loved that show!

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Goals for June 11:
    1. WATER!!! (I have trouble with this on the weekends!)

    2) Water - Half way through - DONE!

    1) 30 minutes pilates
    2) 30 minutes weights

    Spent 3 hours walking around the neighborhood and was able to get a step (adjustable 3 levels!), a set of hand weights, a nice ceramic canister set and some items that will come in handy in organizing my work space! Also got some things for the baby and the kitty. Spent only $28.00 all together! Walked 3 miles and MIGHT go back out--we'll see how I feel once I get these things where they belong.

    YAY ME!!! I SCORED!!!!

    June 11th
    1. Run at least 2 miles -....not yet, but I may get it in. We did do 10 miles on the bikes today though.
    2. DO ARM EXERCISES-...Yes
    3. Gallon of water - Yes
    4. Not kill my brother cause he is an absolute idiot! - YES....but only because he lives in Indiana and I live in North Carolina.

    So, life without MAYO is actually fine. I am not missing it at all and I actually don't find the need for a substitute. I DO LOVE HUMMUS though. But I don't eat it much cause some of the ingredients mess with my RA.

    MAYO ON FRIES IS AWESOME.....although I don't eat fries anymore either...but if I were forced to, I would ask for MAYO too.

    June 12th (I have conquered MAYO.....I will no longer list it!)
    1. Talk about college with my daughter
    2. 1 gallon water
    3. Get a menu made and grocery list for the rest of the month together.

    I hope you all have a great Sunday! Enjoy your families, even if they are idiots! :explode:

    1. finish folding clothes-YES

    Morning all! Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. Have tried to catch up on the posts so far. Great job on sticking with posting goals regardless of how it's all going.

    I've been doing ok, lots of working out and my food has been ok but could probably be better. I need to plan my meals more. I've been eating more frequently which is getting expensive because I'm buying it all rather than taking it from home.

    Sunday goals:
    1. Water throughout the day.
    2. Sensible choices at family lunch.
    3. No workout this morning so try and run or swim when I get back.
    4. Finish big job for work this evening - no tv or radio on as a distraction otherwise I'll be up all night working.
    5. Depending on what time lunch finishes go food shopping otherwise do this tomorrow.

    I better get moving as I have a load to do before I have to leave! Hope you're all having a great weekend!

  • Goals for Sat:

    1) 30 minutes pilates - NOPE!
    2) 30 minutes weights - NOPE!
    3) Water - NOPE!
    4) 30 grams fiber - YUP! Stopped counting after 38 grams!!
    5) Beat hubby in blackjack - Didn't get to play!
    6) Take one dog to dog park - YUP!

    Ok, so whatever I didn't get done yesterday will be first on my list for Sunday!

    1) 30 minutes pilates
    2) 30 minutes weights
    3) Water
    4) L3 (30DS)
    5) Complete redoing series 1
    6) Complete series 2 first 2

    Had a little extra time this morning, so I thought I'd try to address everyone.

    Kim, Congrats on being post number 200!!! and the month is not even half way over yet. I am so proud of all you for staying committed to setting up and following up on your daily goals!!

    Kathy, my therapist wants me to get a step so I can do some leg work on it to strength my quad and hammies! Sounds like you got some great deals and a great walk! Awesome!

    Terry, stretching in the morning is a great goal! I used to do a quick 10 minute yoga video first thing in the morning. I remember how good and relaxed my muscles felt afterwards.

    silver, gmom's are a blessing! I def. hope to be equally as blessed to have 60+ more years on this Earth (and the healthier the better!)

    Momma, great job on avoiding the mayo. It's so great that you don't even miss it!! I didn't sleep very well. My right elbow and the upper right side on my back has been bothering me. I think its from all the push ups. so I am going to modify that goal. I am only going to do push ups on the even days of the week (so taking a break from it today) and instead of doing reg. and girlie, I'm going to do regulars only and still increase them now by 2 every time I do it. I can still get to my goal of 30 real pushups (in probably 3 sets of 10) by the end of the month.

    MissLoser, what's series 1 and 2? what program is that? an exercise program? eating program?

    Steph, never heard of Fringe, but I hope it was a good season finale.

    Jess, hope the rain didn't have an impact on your weekend. No worries about the bread Sweetie! (sorry I didn't get back to you last night)

    Nam, I'm loving the new pic. Were you able to go to bed at a decent time? I know you had lots of work to do first.

    Okay, now I better set my daily goals and get off of here!

    6/12's goals:
    1. tidy the house, compile one load of clothes to wash. YES, YES
    2. cook the pork chops that have been marinating since last night. YES
    3. comb my daughter's hair. YES
    4. zumba @ 2:30 YES
    5. fit in a second workout from home, if time permits. NO :(
    6. Go to bed after basketball game. I haven't been sleeping well the last few days. YES, BUT STILL DIDN'T SLEEP WELL :(

    6/13's goals:
    Most of them are non-fitness:
    1. vacuum.
    2. sweep and mop the floor.
    3. get an oil change (one day this week)
    4. fold the clothes
    5., daughter to girl scouts @ 6.
    Fitness goals:
    1. eat healthy all day long (esp now that there are no more temptations in the house).
    2. do a not so strenuous workout.
    3. drink water, water and more water. (lately my husband and I have been splitting a can of diet soda with dinner. it's better than having the whole can to myself, but this time I'm going to drink tea.)

    I've already organized the frige so that's one less thing that I have to do. There's lots to be done, so I guess I better get started! Happy Monday, let's make it a good one!

    Steph, never heard of Fringe, but I hope it was a good season finale.
    Leela, thanks for taking the time to shout out to us. :happy: The finale was good, but I thought it'd be better. I'm excited for the second season now. It's kind of like PSI Factor. Have you heard of that one? It's kind of along the same lines. It's like mysterious happenings go on, and the FBI (a woman), a criminal, and his father - a mad scientist (literal) - are trying to solve them. The casting and writing is really great. Big budget.

    3) Eat reasonably, with lots of healthy yummies, which are all around the house, but I keep ignoring them. I made cookies the other day, and they are gone now... I HAVE FRUIT AND VEGGIES IN THE FRIDGE AND ON THE COUNTER!!! :explode:
    4) Aim for 10 push ups in a row. (I was doing well until I stopped. I got to 6 today.)

    Thought I'd pre-plan for tomorrow, since I often don't get on until mid-morning. I need this in my head when I wake up!

    frubjious... They were talking about the cow in a brief behind-the-scenes that I watched, and they had 2 cows for the part! One in Toronto, and one in New York, cause it couldn't cross the boarder. :laugh:
