August Day by Day Challenge (OPEN): 1 year anniversary!!!
Replies
-
1:Be under 1000 calories ................Yes
2: water 8 cups .......................Yes
3: wake up before 9:30 ...........yes
4: exercise 30 min. .........................Yes 37 min
target is 3/4
So I again got a 4/4! Wonderfull!
I'm not used to go below 1000 cal but I wanted to compensate for the day before overindulgence.
A new week. What would you like to be different at the end of this week ? I dont want to chase too many rabbits at a time but I need some success in my life. Last week I began cleaning my kitchen cupboards. Doing one everyday. I'm gonna keep doing this and maybe two every other day. I won't have finished at the end of the week but it will be closer to finish line. A friend of me can do it in a single day. She begin at 6 in the morning and keep going until she finish. Usually at 3 in the night. I don't know where she find her energy. For my part I have to do it the "slow but sure" way.
So !
1: Water 2L
2: exercise 30 min
3: wake-up before 9:30
4: 2 Kitchen cupboards today
Will be happy with 3/4
See you tomorrow :flowerforyou:

So it was a good weekend:) Did pretty good on the eating thing and drank lots of water:) Pretty sure I have everything needed for my daughter for school but I didn't get around to my resume yet. I will work on that this week.
So goals for monday
1. Stay on top of that water intake
2. make healthy choices since I'll be eating lunch out.- Well that was easier then I thought, but we didn't go out for lunch we just made it home in time to eat here instead:)
3. Get in some sort of exercise- Got a little walking in doing the shopping thing as I was trying to kill time because I was done with my shopping early.
Non-fitness goals
1. Daughter's hair cut- Done:)
2. Go shopping-Done:)
3. Work on laundry so more cause it really is never ending in this house!-still working on it LOL
Hope you all have a good Monday!!
So I can't believe I've actually gotten most of my goals done for today already and its only 3pm!!
YAY!!
Lee, my ankle feels fine as long as I don't push myself too hard. I still need to call the dr to get in about it but I also have to have the money for the co-pay when I go and the bills take almost all of it when the paychecks come in. I hate being broke.
Kim, Happy belated birthday!!
Glad to see you all doing so well!! Got the open house/cookout for my daughter's school tonight. Not a whole lot of power over what will be available to eat but I will make healty choices. Going to be an interesting night as one of the mom's on the PTA at the school has it out for me, we went to school together and were friend's until she stabbed me in the back over nothing.

Not so bad, no! That's good! I need to give myself credit when I do something good and not focus only on the negative part.
I did most of what I asked myself by doing 3.5/4 Its even better than what I was asking myself to do. I also did a lot of laundry and washed my bed. Clean clothes are in their drawers. And I went to grocery with my 85 years old neighbour. I prepared myself good meals. It was a good day!
Do you find yourself looking only for the negative part ?

Well happy hump day everyone!!
I'm not posting goals for today as its most of the way over for me already anyways. Couldn't do much around the house as I can't let any water go down my sewer pipe right now. They are out there lining the sewer running under the street and we got told to not run any water down the drain from 7am to 7pm....makes for a really rough day at home so I went out:) Visted my parents and they feed me lunch. Then wandered around a few stores with no intention of buying anything. I love to just wander around and window shop:)

1. water
2. eat healthy
3. some kind of workout(probably a walk of some kind)
