Okay gonna try this again... got sidetracked with life.. lol
Today's goals
1. Finish charger's challenge of 75/175 leg raises/crunches - making 50 of them together.
- did 125 together then did 50 crunches on their own
2. 5 bottles of water
- got in 7 bottles
3. Pull weeds in my front yard (totally hate monsoon season - only time of the year when the desert gets weeds)
- got all the ones in the big section of the yard pulled.... rocks should not grow weeds... sigh
4. going for 1.8 miles on the elliptical today in the 30 min... almost made it last wed.
- well the gym with that elliptical had that area closed off and for all week so instead we did treadmills at the other gym and I did 1.25 miles on random hills in 30 min... which i think was good.
Now for today's goals
1. Do at least 10 of the 200 tricep dips for real from charger's challenge...
2. Get in 5 bottles of water.
3. Stay with in 200 calories of my allowed. - Today is the first day of my classes I will be at school all day, healthy choices are not really an option ( i mean seriously have you seen college students - can't miss them here they're the ones without any clothes on cause its the desert - and hot)
Thank you Leela... I still think this is an awesome idea... and I hope to continue with it... but homework will determine how well i stick with any of this in about 3 weeks.0 -

Thank you Leela... I still think this is an awesome idea... and I hope to continue with it... but homework will determine how well i stick with any of this in about 3 weeks.
You did a great job on your goals yesterday. When school starts back, maybe you can set up your goals on Monday for say, Monday thru Thurs and then check in at the end of the week and set up your goals for Fri thru Sunday. Just a thought.
I think its an awesome idea too, Nicole really grew such a great concept into a MFP empire! She's a full time college student too and she just checks in when she can!
Also, when I cant log on to the board, I will still take a post it and write 3 goals on it and post it somewhere so I can see it. So you can still stay accountable, its just cool to share it with out people because they will always motivate you when you fall off the wagon!0 -

No goals for today just try to make it through the day. Got bad news last night that a cousin of mine died in a car accident. Going to my parents house today to try to comfort my dad as this cousin was the same age as him and his best friend. Last night when my dad called me to tell me(after my mom already had so at least I alreadyu knew) and he broke down on the phone I can't bare the thought of him being in so much pain. He sounded almost as bad as when my grandmother passed away.. :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :frown: :frown: :frown:
Hope you all havea good day...........0 -

Now for today's goals
1. Do at least 10 of the 200 tricep dips for real from charger's challenge...
- I cant do the tricep dips as my chairs slide so until i get a workout bench... I used 10 lb weights to work the triceps, only got in 30.
2. Get in 5 bottles of water.
- Got in exactly 5.
3. Stay with in 200 calories of my allowed. - Today is the first day of my classes I will be at school all day, healthy choices are not really an option ( i mean seriously have you seen college students - can't miss them here they're the ones without any clothes on cause its the desert - and hot)
- Failed this one miserably. Ate Panda for lunch, even though I knew it was loaded with cals. But wasn't feeling the pizza or BK... and panda at least has some veggies in the chow mein. Tried to compensate at dinner and just couldn't, my body was like nope you need a few extras. So went over by 600 cals
Todays
1) Finish looking at senior design projects (there are about 50 to weed through for a EE)
2) Pull the weeds in the larger small patch.
3) Stay with in cals - to counter yesterday.
4) 6 bottles of water.
5) Almost forgot charger's challenge which is 150 mountain climbers. I'm going to go for getting the proper form on these and doing half of them0 -

Goals for Aug. 23:
1. Water.--Yes.
2. Exercise for 20 minutes.--No.
3. Stay on plan.--No.:grumble:
Sometimes I think something is the matter with me. Why can't I seem to stay on plan for more than a day or two? I eat regular food so it's not a weird fad diet but I just don't seem to be able to stick to it! VERY frustrating. :frown: Starting over ONCE AGAIN!!!
Everybody here keeps me going--I was ready to give up this morning but I read this thread and I am ready to DO THIS!!! I WILL conquer my bad-carb habit (that's my downfall so I am going to try lower carb--I need to break this vicious cycle!)
Ravyn--Prayers for you and your family. I am SO sorry this happened!
Bratty--Here's the nutritional info for Panda Express:
http://www.pandaexpress.com/menu/nutrition.aspx (you'll have to copy and paste)
I love that place and there are some not-so-bad choices there!
Goals for Aug. 24:
1. Water.
2. Exercise for 30 mintes.
3. HEALTHY CHOICES and LOG EVERYTHING!!!0 -
thanks for the panda info.. I do actually have that at home... sigh.. but i just loooovveee the orange chicken lol... i dont concern myself so much with the sodium (as I sweat too much and tend to be low on that area).... but the carbs and fat put me over every time..
but maybe if i continue to eat there .... hmm...i could do oc as a treat once every few weeks and the mixed veggies or something else the other part... i just wish there was some kind of lunch i could bring that was small and didnt need to be refrigerated..
they do have papa jons pizza in the food court that i wouldnt go over with, but the amount of grease.. yuk.. and burgers and fries just dont do it..... which leaves bagels...geat except i eat that for breakfast.0 -

Wednesday's goal:
1. run, zumba, train. no, yes, no
2. stay hydrated all day. yes
3. eat healthy all day, including no soda! yes, yes
So I didn't run as much as I would have liked to yesterday. just a few blocks. I didn't train because I worked on some new choreo with my zumba instructor for her party tomorrow night.
Staying hydrated has really helped me lately. I've kept a water bottle literally strapped to my hip!
I did give in to a peanut butter cookie and later thought, why did I do that? But I didn't consider it a failure because it was just one and done and I recovered well. still haven't had soda, just green tea and crystal light.
Thursday's goals:
1. restock on some key ingredients that I need to make it through the week.
2. clean the kitchen top to bottom.
3. follow meal plan.
4. run after taking my daughter to the bus.
5. cont. the search for a job.0
