Did not do well at all. Just could not seem to find my rhythm. Oh well tomorrow is a new day. Feeling really sluggish, must be the 5 inches of snow we got on Monday and the 2 on its way for tomorrow. I do not like winter at all.
Hope everyone is having a GREAT day.
See you all tomorrow. Will try to sing a happier tune.0 -
Just a quick check in as the family is visiting...that means the calories are in the red
Went out for a 30 minute walk and did the bike trainer for 60 minutes before work. I also did 15 minutes of strength training.
No traveling today so I didn't have to worry about the munchies....plus I left work early today.
Hope everyone had a great day!0 -
Just checking in long enough to say I'm at a convention and have no time to check in... goals have been out the window for the past two days, but I am doing a lot of walking, drinking water, and getting up early... we won't talk about the eating, though...0

Hello Everyone,
So far today i got a new work computer (which was very much needed) so that is so good news and i went and got my new drivers licenses.:happy: Anyway, I really want to start crunching down on my work outs and get more intense with them because i want to feel my best two Thursdays from now for my 24th birthday! Worked out really hard yesterday and my ab muscles are really feeling it today. 3 out of the 4 main work outs we did at my martial arts class last night focused on ab muscles but i feel really good about the workout. I did cave a little bit last night though, i stopped on my way to karate at Starbucks and got a grande soy peppermint mocha frappuccino. :frown: I didn't finish it though but it was still really good!
When i got home i had a healthy dinner and 3 cups of water which made me feel good, my meals are becoming more healthy and that's good. I'm starting to feel more energetic since changing over to a healthier diet, i feel like i can do so much more everyday. I am waiting and excited for an intense workout tonight and i really am going to push myself to try my best at it!
Goals update:
Really trying to meet my 1200 calories everyday
Workout harder and longer
MORE WATER!!!
More Veggies and Fruits.
Even though no karate on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday do a good, long workout.
Walk around more at work when not busy, or just stand up and do some stretches at my desk.
Lets keep up the energy!
Have a great day everyone!
Brandi

I hope I can still join. I'm looking for some motiviation
my goals are
1. Stay close to 1200 and not go over
2. excirse once a day (thats kind hard sometimes when I have a million things going on)
3. Cutting pop out of my life I'm slowing cutting my self off I have went from pop everyday to once a week
4. I'm really trying to cut out the sweets but its so hard right now with it being the holiday season and my co-workers are always bringing in something to snack on :sad:
Checking in everyday will not be a problem because I'm addicted to this website.
I really can't think of a good habit right now.0 -
This seems to be a hard week for us all. I'm just grateful that we have each other for this, because I know without you guys, it would only be worse for me.
Water intake has been fairly consistent for me. But I've been very emotional, and last night I did some emotional eating. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I honestly felt like I needed it at the time.
I look forward to some balance in December and am hopeful knowing I have the power and strength to make that happen.0 -
Hello. I would love to join this challenge. I have been away from MFP for awhile and I am looking for motivation.
1. One of my goals is to excercise for 30 minutes at least 5 days a week.
2. Stick to my calorie and nutrition goals.
3. Cut down on soda. I am down to one a day and I can feel a difference already.
Looking forward to this challenge.
Thanks0 -

Good evening friends,
Yesterday I was over on calories and didn't exercise either - double negative - :ohwell: Oh well. Cant win them all.
I did log my calories though. I get credit for logging even if I go over. :bigsmile:
Today is looking better, but it's too early to call it done. In fact, it's time to make dinner.
Welcome to the newbies. This is helping get through December. Checking in helps me to stay on track. My big ambition for December in not to gain weight.0 -
Thanks for the birthday wish Dream to Play. I definitely enjoyed yesterday, and tried to do better today. This week has been a bust as far as exercise. Today though I have been better regarding water. Went over on calories, and definitely had too many carbs today. So, hopefully tomorrow will be better. Night!0

I did very well today. I'm quite proud of myself. My whole family went out to eat at McDonalds, but instead of getting something to eat, I just sipped on water. I'm so glad I didn't ruin my night by eating that gross food.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day tomorrow! Oh, and happy birthday answ1275!0 -
Much better day for me today. I stayed within my calorie goal, tracked my food intake and am currently exercising on my elliptical (which makes for some interesting typing). I was low in water, but overall I am super excited to feel back on track with my goals.
Good luck all for Friday! 0 -
Did well with my calorie and exercise goals this week. Weigh in day is Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed!0

Morning all!
Missed checking in for Thursday.....I was exhausted by the time I got home. Had another long day in the car - 12 hours of work but with all my overtime this week, i didn't really get paid for any of it. I ended up falling asleep before 8 I was so spent.....I was over on my calories as one meeting was over a lunch buffet-tried to watch what I ate and guessed so I hopefully I over estimated.
I have been thinking that I may need to adjust my weight loss goals for a while and cut way back. Right now I am at 1200 and honestly forcing myself to exercise more just to get to eat more. Plus the scale is not moving anyway-I figured I am too stressed and exhausted and my body is just fighting it.
Hope everyone had a great Friday!!!0 -
I was doing really good yesterday during the day but when I got off work at 7:00 it kinda went down hill. By the time my boyfriend got home at 7:30 we did a few errans and then we ate at 9. I hate eatting that late because I go to sleep at 9:30 and I haven't exercised in 2 days :frown: but I did get some furits and veggies last night at the store. I'm hoping today will go good as well...
Well have a nice day everyone0 -

Hey everyone! Good afternoon,
Today isn't going to well for me. This morning i had two pieces of toast with honey peanut butter on them and that was at 9am and now it is 1pm and i'm not even close to being hungry. Normally by time lunch hits my stomach is growling and saying feed me! but right now nothing at all. Any ideas on this? :indifferent: Anyway, yesterday during karate i was working really hard at karate and cut my knuckles open a bit. :ohwell: But i am getting closer to getting my belt so that is good. Today i have no karate and nothing all weekend so i really need to workout a lot at home. I have some great wii and x-box kinect games that make you work pretty hard so i will probably do a couple hours of those each day. :happy: Well i'm going to try and eat something and hope it goes well. Talk to everyone later or tomorrow.
Have a great day everyone!

Got a letter in the mail saying that my gym is changing owners/locations. It's a super nice gym, but it's twice as far away! I think I'm going to cancel the membership and take advantage of my free weights and videos at home. There's plenty of good places around here if I want to start up again, one right across the street that offers a spin class every morning! Man... I just got excited to go to that! And that's the first time in weeks I got a little burst of electricity inside about working out!
Housework got done today! Very exciting!
I still need to put the tree up!0 -
Hey everyone! Good afternoon,
i'm not even close to being hungry.
