    toadiejones-- thanks for the encouragement! I'm worried that I won't end up with time to start it today but I'm certainly going to try!

    Not a good morning. I need to shift around some goals. I epically failed but I'm going to start fresh now... at 2:

    1. Only healthy foods for the rest of the day!
    2. Finish this stupid paper (since it's past due)
    3. Get in at least a small workout (but preferably C25k

    Helloooooo,

    I'm not doing very good keeping up with the group, Sorry!

    After starting a walking group in my area I've totally neglected my house :frown: . But it's going to stay neglected because i need to concentrate only on myself :bigsmile:
    But Its still difficult coming on and logging in the group. With exercising in the morning's & work Then coming home cooking dinner, Its difficult :frown:

    But I'm not given in, I'm still hanging in.

    Today I walked 5.5 miles, I did NOT stretch before hand. I Did Not get my two veggies In, But i stayed under my calorie goal, which I'm thrilled with.

    Okay Tuesday's GOAL July 12th

    1) STRETCH
    2) Under calorie goal
    3) Walk before coming online
    4) 2 veggies
    5) Weight lifting . I'm off today, I should be able to get it in this time

    THANKS Nicole for starting this thread... :drinker:

So I focus on the kids and then my fitness starts failing again. Its a never-ending cycle!!! Whew. That's why I have it on my list to call a cleaning service this week. :bigsmile:

    1: Shut up........................Yes most of time
    2: doing twice the Leslie Samsone walking video ( one already done )..... No more than the first one
    3: water 1.5 L .........YES
    4: cleaning kitchen....... No :(
    5: stay under calories limit........ Yes
    6: go to bed before 10h....... No watched Biggest losers at 10
    Well, a fifty-fifty day!

    I hope I'm going to do better today.


    My voice is not coming back. Maybe it's more serious that I thought first. Not much to do anyway.
    My buttock wounds are not cured either so no rower for today again.

    A little discouragement.

    I see the glass half empty.

    I think I need your help!

    So I will go for :

    1: drink my water 1.5L
    2: record all and stay under limit
    3: do twice the Leslie Samsone walking video
    4: clean kitchen
    5: finish my knitting
    6: do my best and hope for the best

    Have a nice day everyone !

    Check
    Check
    Check- not the best but still losing so I'm ok. Better than a couple
    Check
    Fail

    Goals for today:
    1. Log all calories and stay within my calorie goal.
    2. Gym for a less aggressive workout (Check)
    3. Get some reading done
    4. Laundry (Just need to fold the last load)

    Sl1mmy-- we all hit those rough patches when we are just discouraged and frustrated. It will get better. The key is keeping yourself moving through this patch so you'll be ready to get back to normal when it's over. (That's the part I typically fail at so I hope you do better than I do!)

    Good luck and we are here for you!

    1. Run 3 miles (already got it in!!!! YES)
    2. More laundry, I have to wash the sheets each day and every towel I us.... UGH - Not all of it.... but it is never ending....LOL
    3. Pick berries - Yes and got 2 watermelons 5 cantalope and 14 cucumbers and about 30 ears of corn. I LOVE WORKING ON A FARM!

    July 13th
    1. rest
    2. hopefully get the laundry all done and put away. (we have had an unexpected houseguest the few days so I have only been washing, and drying.... no putting away.
    3. get the berries, watermelons, cantalopes, cucumbers and corn ready for the freezer.

    I had to go back to the docs today for my staph cause it wasn't getting better. They cut it open to drain it and see how far the infection had gotten and they were not impressed with what they saw. So I have to go back everyday for them to repack my wound and check it. I HOPE THIS DOESN'T MESS UP MY RUNNING SCHEDULE! To close to race day to mess with my schedule!!!

    3 15 minutes of exercise.--Yes.
    4: Brush my teeth right after dinner.--No.
    5. Get to bed by 9:30.--Yes but noisy neighbors again! (Loud truck, to be exact!)

    Why are some people so inconsiderate? If I ever figure out where they live they will hear about it!

    Yesterday wasn't the best, food-wise, but it certainly wasn't the worst, either!

    sl1mmy--Hang in there! Know you can do this! It can take a week or so for laryngitis to go away. If it lasts for more than 2 weeks you should see your doctor. What kind of buttocks wounds do you have? They may also need to be checked. If, like some of us, you don't have insurabce, see if there's a low-cost or sliding scale clinic near you. They actually do a really good job!

    Momma--I sure hope the infection goes away soon. Those things can be so hard to get rid of!

    Have to go. Thinking of EVERYONE here! Have a good day!

    Goals for July 14:
    1. Water.
    2. Track food and STAY IN CALORIES!

    3: do twice the Leslie Samsone walking video.................YES
    4: clean kitchen................Partially but most of it
    5: finish my knitting............2/3 done
    6: do my best and hope for the best ........almost !

    Not a bad day !

    Still no voice and a bad cought. Hard to sleep with it. Butt still not ok.
    Maybe I'll try a little rower, 1000 or 2000 meters.

    pmjsmom - Thanks for caring. I'm in Québec and we have free healthcare. The only problem is having to wait. Not much clinics in my surrounding. But I think I'm gonna get thru that by myself. Maybe mext week if I'm still not ok. I prefer not to get antibiotics cause last time I had some, I got c.difficile. Lot more trouble than a bad cold. So I'll try to avoid it. Take care !

    toadiejones - Thanks for caring. I hope to get better soon but I hang on.

    PSUgrl921 - Thanks for the encouragement.

    My today's goals

    1: drink 1.5 litres
    2: leslie samsone walk half hour
    3: stay under calories
    4: half hour in the kitchen
    5: off computer 2 hours this afternoon ( too late for this morning ! )
    6: rower 1000 or 2000 m ( if my butt permit)
    7: Give myself credit 3 times

    Have a nice day everyone !

    MAJOR SETBACK TODAY. Yesterday I had to go to the doctor cause my staph infection was only getting worse. They cut it open and dug out some infection but they cut very deep and now they have to pack it everyday. Today I was told I couldn't run until it was completely healed....and that I will probably not be able to do the half marathon in August! I COULD CRY! They did say I could bike as much as I wanted and that if I could bike long and hard daily, that I could MAYBE keep my cardio up enough to be able to attempt the race, but that they doubted it would be healed in time to run much before it. UGH

    I Love this group thread, But I don't seem to create time to be a part of it. :indifferent:

    Between Work, morning exercising & cooking meals & replying to two other challenge groups It isn't possible to enjoy it.

    September 1st I should be back since I have a challenge ending than.

    So until then take care everyone, I'll be peeping in to check on you all But just not setting daily goals

    :heart: Teresa
