    I just came upon this thread today and I think that it is a great idea to set daily challenges!!
    Intro: My name is Kylee and I am 32. I joined MFP about 45 days ago and I went from 223 to my current weight of 208.8. MFP has been my greatest resource and the people here are amazing!! I enjoy participating in local community theater and crafting in my spare time!
    My three goals for today:
    1-Drinking my water goal
    2-Do at least one maybe 2 walking workouts on my Biggest Loser walking dvd
    3-Begin a craft project(either knitting or decoupage

    Hi there! I'm Heather and I'm 32 (like Kylee!) :smile:

    I'm new to the website and I have some health challenges but I'm really motivated! Some of the things I enjoy: photography, bird-watching, cockatiels (I have one) and just getting out and about as weather/energy allows. Lately, I've been walking the bridge over the river to work in the mornings and it's been a relaxing and pleasant way to start my day. Weekends are a challenge because I have no set routine! (today is Saturday)

    My goals:
    1. Get at least 10 minutes of exercise
    2. Avoid a night-time binge (by choosing low-calorie or healthy, filling foods, by staying busy, by going to bed when my body says I should)
    3. Get some time outside so that I'm not sitting in the house being bored (and eating!)

    Non-fitness:
    1. Pick up 10 things and put them away

    9/2 goals...

    1) chargers challenge - 350 leg raises. - since i am still unable to do much with the right ankle. I will attempt to do 200 single left leg raises. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/333276-friday-mini-challenge - the link if you wish to participate

    - i did 22 sets of 15 plus 20 more to achieve 350 calf raises on the left leg. I did try the right one, but the ankle on the first one laughed at me... so i'm still not able to use it.

    2) 2 sets of upper cardio

    - i got in both sets.. not all at once though.. still building up them arm muscles ... although, i am noticing some definition starting on the arm muscles.

    3) work related - all my '21 cases done and '13 started.

    - got in half of my 21 cases done and have a list of the 13 cases that need to be done now as well.

    good luck to everyone... the support here is awesome

    9/3

    1) Do a modified chargers challenge - all 200 jumping jacks... although i shall do it on the floor instead of the real way since the ankle wont allow that. - the link http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/333970-saturday-mini-challenge?page=1#posts-4485026

    2) grocery shopping

    3) finish the weeds in the large small area... - seriously need to get the weeds gone, look really ghetto right now.

    4) fight with homework.

    5) ice ankle and elevate for 30 mins - although it is feeling better, its still not where it needs to be.

    6) play 10 mins of mine (also known as tug of war) with the little dog... if you want an arm work out let me tell you this is one. he's about 45 lbs of 90% muscle (he's got a little bit of butt cleavage) - but he can tug and i like to pick him up by the rope lol - although i do feel sorry for whoever he first decides to bite as he has strong jaws and will hurt them. :laugh:


    Good to see all the new folks... good luck.

    I am late getting here today, it has been a rough couple days in our house. We had to have our 23 hr old cat put down yesterday and it broke my heart:brokenheart: And I totally fell of the wagon last night and ended up falling into the old emotional eating happy.

    The difference this time however is that I am not going to let it get the worse of me. I am back on track today. Still feeling very sad but I know food isn't going to make it better.

    So my goals for today (9/3)

    1) drink at least 8 glasses of water
    2) do not buy any junk food while grocery shopping today
    4) walk and move more.
