Goals for December 13:
1. Water! --Did well.
2. Workout or a brisk walk for at least 30 minutes. --Yes, every day!

WOW! I cannot believe that I haven't gotten here for the past few days! It is SUCH a busy time of year! You know what I have noticed, though? My daily goals were on my mind a LOT! I sure hope that means they are becoming a habit!

Good Morning & Happy December!
Today my goals are:

Not to mention by Monday all this stuff will be gone. The holidays for me will not be a loss of control ANY FURTHER! I will know that I am not going to turn into a sugar mound. I have maintained my weight only becasue of my workouts and because I eat nothing after I leave work. How can I... I blew it so bad... SO please forgive me, let me forgive myself. GOOD NEWS yesterday I did do 140 squats as well as 100 burbees which is the awful exercise a MAN trainer came up with LOL! I did that so I hope that counteracts the bad.

My goals for December 15 are

2. Snack healthy!- two cuties and a banana and almonds! Good job for me
3. Limit my cookies to no more than three! only had 1 swedish snowball
December 16
Fasting this morning for blood work, didn't really get on computer. Here are my goals for today
1. 10-12 glasses of water
2. Fruits and veggies- 5-7 servings
3. Eat dinner!
Husband gone for last weekend of hunting. Didn't really eat last night. With fasting this morning, late lunch, and massage tonight, will have to think hard of dinner. Maybe salad with venison! While my cholesterol hasn't changed in 10 years would like to get the LDL lower which means more veggies! Exercise wouldn't hurt either, but one thing at a time!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!0 -
Look who found you guys..!!/???... ME!!! That's right!!!! Jessie Mae! How are you all??????? I need to come back so bad!!!!!!! For those of you who don't know me..... Here we go!
My name is Jessica, Jessie, Jess--whatever you want to call me! I will be 30 in January and right now I weigh more than I ever have in my life (minus pregnancies). August before last I started on MFP and lost 20 lbs!! Long story short--I got cocky and went out of control!!! I am very disappointed with myself. I was looking good and feeling awesome!!! Now I hate myself! Nothing fits and I see my gut on my lap, I see my face is pudgier than EVER!!!!! OK no time to dwell on my mistakes!!! I'm going to start like I've never started before!
I am a mom of two- a 7 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. I have a WONDERFULLY amazing and supportive husband!!! ANYTHING I do he is there to support me!!! Weight Loss, My Mary Kay Business (which by the way if anyone wants any info on buying or selling yell at me!!), ANYTHING! I couldn't be luckier! My goal with my MK job is to quit my secretary job so I need to feel good about myself so that I can promote my business and also have the energy to do so!!!
They way I'm feeling right now I could type for DAYS! But instead I will just post my goals!
1.)WATER!
2.)GET everything done that I want to get done on my desk at my dayjob
3.) clean up the house as soon as I get home to make a spot for my new stationary bike!
4.)Use the stationary bike
5.)come in BELOW CALORIES!
feels good to be back!!!
Jess- Welcome back! I too tend to self sabatoge! I will get close to the 125 mark and forget all I have learned to do in just a few short weeks, gain back that 3-4 pounds! The conviction sounds wonderful! Stick with us and remember one day at a time, one choice at a time! Together we can do this!0 -

Don't be too hard on yourself! Sometimes my best losses come after great relapses! You will be right back on track soon enough. The holidays are just hard all the way around! I am getting ready to go visit my brother who has recently lost 40 pounds so hopefully will get a chance to do some exercise while visiting! Keep smiling! Remember You can't change yesterday, learn, and make today the best!0 -

Well, I did 2 out of 3. I am exhausted so going to bed by 11 pm won't be a problem. I might even hit the rack by 10. We have a road trip in the am. I also completed number 3 which wast to dring 8 glasses of water. I drank 11. It was the refined sugar that got me today. The neighbor came over with Christmas treats! I will try agin tomorrow with that goal.

Hi it's me. sorry I haven't put up any goals but I was in Laughlin on a mini-trip. I am glad to report though that I did excellent on my calorie goals. I was fair on my water....did not drink but one Coke Zero. I did not have any alcoholic drinks while gambling...asked for water only. I was so determined to stay focused that I left Laughling each day and drove to the Bullhead City Library to log my food everyday. I ate at the Riverside Buffet 3 times and never had a desert. I ate salad, salad and baked chicken with vegetables. I am very pleased and can't wait to weigh in the morning.
Goals for Sat. 12-17
1. Drink my 64 ounces of water (hope for more)
2. Find my 2009 tax statements....a must
3. Put up some Christmas decorations
Have a great weekend.0 -
December 16
Fasting this morning for blood work, didn't really get on computer. Here are my goals for today
1. 10-12 glasses of water=Done
2. Fruits and veggies- 5-7 servings= great salad for dinner helped!
3. Eat dinner!= actually had real food!
So while yesterday was hard on the food diary, because of fast, I did make really wise choices when I did get to eat, so am proud of that! The plan needs to be followed in spite of trip home to MD. I have got to get in those veggies.
MandieO- What time are you going to bed? Just asking...had a girlfriend that I never planned anything in the AM with cause she was nocturnal. Not great for doing things, but that is when she operated best. I have to have 8-9 hours a night or a tend to crash.
Mvkrayola- The trip sounds wonderful and you did a great job on choices. I hope your weigh in is great this morning.
Purplecookie- I hope you feel good about those finals!
AmyinMD- Sounds like you have a plan for the Christmas party! Remember to drink your water too! Keep up the work with the spirometer.
Denise- Sugars are so hard to avoid this time of year. My husband is the worst at buying what I am avoiding. He is a big kid. I did get lucky at the shop and my favorite cookies were all gone the first day, so at least I can avoid the rest. Has me rethinking my cookie baking for Christmas!
December 17
1. 10-12 glasses of water
2. 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies
3. Get all paperwork and housework done in preparation for holidays!0 -
Man it's been a bad couple of days.
1. clean bathroom down to wiping baseboards and floor by hand.
2. water
3. take a walk.0 -

I generally go to bed on weeknights before 10 pm...usually between 9 and 9:30pm. There really is no reason I shouldn't be able to get up in the morning...I just wonder if I'm in the middle of a sleep cycle when I am trying to get up at 7am...who knows....
Well as for my goals today...hmmm...I made it to the gym...coach kicked my butt again!!! we got through the workout and then he tells me ok..we're going to do it all again!!! I just about ran out of there...but the second time around it was a little easier actually...so i guess he knows what he's doing....that's why he's the coach...not me...LOL.
I didn't quite make it with the water today...no reason why...just didn't get to it...
But i did do something fun...bought some water soluble oil paints and tried them out.
Goals for tomorrow...
1) work out for at least 30 minutes at the gym or walk with hubby
2) drink 64 oz of water
3) write in my journal
Have a great night all...
