    Hi all hope everyone's doing good today!

    I did really good with water today and I got my morbjb workout in (which was tough cuz I was REALLY tired). And goal #3, I was very dilligent in writing down everything I ate... I'm under for the day but man on man!!! I snacked ... A LOT!! A mini peanut butter up here. A handful of trial mix there. Then while we were making dinner my husband pulled out potato chips and onion dip. I wasn't going to do it but before I knew it I was snacking. Then while I was cleaning up from dinner I grabbed some chocolate chips from the pantry. After I finished them I thought what in the heck am I doing!!! <sigh>. Tomorrow is a new day to try again!
  • I want to give this a shot. My weekly goal will be to burn at least 10 more calories at the gym than I did the previous day.
    I also want to try a zumba class at my gym on Sunday. I wanted to go yesterday but I had excuses not to go.
    Goal #3 will be to drink and record more water intake.

    Report Day 1

    Goal 1: remember to take my vitamins daily(sounds easy but not remembering to take my pills is how I ended up with 3 kids!)
    I did it!

    Goal 2: clean out/organize 1 area every day(thanks mssdee)
    Reorganized dresser drawers. Where did all that stuff come from???

    Goal 3: Wear pedometer daily and increase every day at least a few steps! I'll be posting by step instead of by mile this week!
    Yesterday's steps- 3626(lazy) Today's steps- 6961!

    Goal 4: I will park in the farthest spot I can find at every parking lot!
    Didn't go to any parking lots today. Parking away from work isn't an option since my truck is constantly being loaded and unloaded!

    Keep plugging everyone!!

    WELCOME to all the new people :flowerforyou:


    I am sooooo sorry. I have been on this rescue mission for several days now. Can't really talk about it, but any praying people out there if you could say a prayer, I would appreciate it.

    Also, my brother is having Open Heart Surgery today......................... but that's another family story.



    It is not going to be a good week, I have not been home much and will have to leav e again in 3 hours. Gonna try and take a nap now.


    Keep going............. I don't even have time to do my food diary. :-(

    I wanted to share a little progress with you!

    Here I am after losing 11 pounds the first week on MFP, weighing 425, wearing a size 30/32:

    5445237_7845.jpg

    And this is me today, weighing 372, wearing a size 22 top:

    5445237_4906.jpg

    WELL I was stupidly checking the old thread and it suddenly dawned on me that no one was posting because we're IN A NEW WEEK!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

    Oh, goodness... so here is my post that I posted on Sunday ^^

    Looks like everyone is hitting goals and targets and those that are having a rough week, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! I know you can!

    My goals this week:
    - stay under calories
    - stay under 2000mg sodium
    - LOG EVERYTHING. (this is hard... lately I haven't been eating the little morsels that I snatch here and there. I am sure it all adds up so this will be my big goal this week.

    I'm back to work this week and exhausted (and battling a headache for 3 days) so I can't commit to exercise this week.

Don't know if I'll have time to re-organize anything today but.... oh well! I'm getting my grandson today and that's all that really matters to me today!! Y'all keep it up!!!

    I'd say you nailed your goals considering time with your grandson tops re-organizing EVERYDAY :happy:

    1. Drink all my water - I got in all my water plus a little extra, and I still have a few hours until bed time so I might get some more in.
    2. Get all my workout's in this week - Done got up at 5:30 to get the arm workout and the ab workout in.
    3. Log EVERYTHING - I did pretty good today. Not to many temptations today, Tuesday can be tough (I work from home) so yesterday was a little more difficult. When I'm in the office I'm pretty good about eating what I bring and not straying into the "treat cube" too often.

    3 for 3 today!!!
    Hope you all are reaching for those mini goals. Have a great night. Time for me to log off!
