HI! What a great idea for a group - I often get hung up on the pressure of more specific goals, so I really like the "daily" goals My goals today are to

1. Log everything I eat
2. Run 2 miles on treadmill when I get home from work
3. Drink lots of water

I am married with two beautiful children - I work full time (just started a new job - been doing part time stuff until this wonderful full time job came my way!) and am a very busy person! I have been up and down on the scale so many times - am looking to lose weight and keep it off - to make that 'lifestyle change' so its a part of who I am. I'm good about exercising most of the time - but I eat way too much. I have determined that I'm a stress eater (gee, who isn't??) and I'm trying to be more aware of that.

Good luck everyone!!

Goals for Monday, January 9th
1. Water- 10-12 glasses- Done
2. Organize belts at work- Done
3.Wii- Come on just 30 minutes! You are so worth it and it is so much fun!!!!!! - Done!!!

So yesterday turned out to be a very productive day. 3 hours of climbing up and down ladders and reaching for nails plus 3 hours of deep cleaning back of shop. I wasn't planning on doing that, but since already dirty figured I might as well get it as clean as I like it!!!!! If only I could get the new guy to understand that that is how I like it at the end of every day!!!!!

Sam- I love your self affirmation goal! Everyone should like themselves! It is hard sometimes, but when asked what the favorite part of your body is, you aught to have an answer! Great work!

Tuesday, January 10
1. Water- 10-12 glasses (you would think this would go without saying by now)
2. Wii for 30 minutes
3. Finish paper work and write order for work. Only worked in back yesterday, so have to catch up again up front!
4. Do something unexpected for one person today!

I hope everyone continues to do so well and make SMART goals. They may be only daily ones, but the turtle did win the race!:bigsmile:

Have a smiley day!!!!

Goals for January 9:
1. Walking workout--calendar. (5 mile walk) --4 miles*
2. Stay in my calorie goal with HEALTHY choices! --Better.
3. More liquids--water and tea. --Yes.

*Just realized today that there are TWO Leslie Sansone challenges--1 at the WalkClub website and 1 at her FB page. I will do the 21 day challenge at her FB page instead of the (more intense) 7 day challenge at the website. It will be better for my knee.

I want to welcome all our newbies! Nice to meet you! Everyone is doing well and that's so good!

The doctor has said that my mom has a week at the most left. I'm both sad and glad that I'm not in Phoenix. I have 2 wonderful sisters there that are with her and keeping the rest of us in the loop.

Goals for January 10:

My goals for Tuesday

Continue to journal honestly did
Drink my water and green tea and not drink coffee did
Follow my diet plan did
Get to the gym. didn't get there

today was crazy at work. I worked until 7:15 pm, was supposed to be done at 5pm. So dinner was late, then I had to stop at the store for more bananas and strawberries. Way to worn out to go to the gym... and my back is still hurting really bad. Exercise would probably help so my top priority for tomorrow will be exercise. Good news. I did not stress eat. I sniffed my roses.

OK - those were my goals for yesterday - yay!!! And when I ran my 2 miles I did it in 25 minutes - that's a speed record for me and I'm so excited! Met my goals - and it feels great

On another topic - do folks on mfp generally eat their cardio calories? I'm just wondering? I eat some of them, but I'm not seeing the numbers on the scale. . .

THanks so much - and good luck with your goals today!

Mine are:
1. Log log log everything I eat
2. Try to eat under 1500 calories today just to see if I can do it

Tuesday, January 10
1. Water- 10-12 glasses (you would think this would go without saying by now)- Done
2. Wii for 30 minutes-- Nope
3. Finish paper work and write order for work. Only worked in back yesterday, so have to catch up again up front! wrote order
4. Do something unexpected for one person today!- I made conversation with a cute couple, who just seemed to want to talk, even though the back of my brain was going( I have things I am trying to do!)

So yesterday didn't quite go as planned. I did end up exercising- I had to organize attic at work, take down boxes of invoices and put more up there. About 45 mins of moving boxes and climbing the ladder. I can forgive myself the no Wii. I did get orders done for work, but not the rest of paperwork.Everyone is back to work today, so paperwork is it!

Welcome to all the new folks! Love the goals! Keep it up!

pmjsmom-prayers and hugs!

Hi my name is Ash, I have never been a small lady but since having three kids things have gotten out of control. It is time to stop using but I had kids as a crutch and get off my tushy! I have NEVER stuck with anything, so I am hoping like crazy it clicks this time.
