    My goals for Sunday

    To go to church.... something usually comes up and I wind up missing.
    To continue to get my water in (drinking green tea) I have really cut down on my coffee consumption.
    To journal honestly.
    To get ready for work on Monday....have my meals pre- made so there is less of a chance for me to get side tracked on my food choices.

    I am loving this day to day thread....breaking everything down by the day is really helping me to stay focused.

    Well logging is becoming easier and easier. Yesterday's foods were not so good. I made it til 2 pm and than I grabbed the doughnut and then when we went out I got my old standby. The good news I only went over by 300 and I also drank extra water. My bosses have also decided to supplement our normal doughnut Saturdays with fresh fruit. Which I plan to take full advantage of ... know if I can only convince them to grab fresh apples instead of grapes and bananas. (not a big fan of either)

    Today's goals
    1) Log everything.
    2) Stay within my calories.
    3) Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
    4) Figure out meals for the week.
    5) Go grocery shopping.

    Goals for January 7:
    1. Walking workout--calendar. (2 miles with the Walk Belt) --Yes to the walk, no to the bely (will use it today)
    2. Stay in my calorie goal with HEALTHY choices! --Eh, no. Poor choices!
    3. More liquids--water and tea.--Not great here, either!

    Over all, I'd say yesterday was a FAIL! Not as bad as it COULD have been, though! Back on track today.

    Goals for January 8:
    1. Walking workout--calendar. (2 miles with the Walk Belt)
    2. Stay in my calorie goal with HEALTHY choices!
    3. More liquids--water and tea.

    Leanne here, I work 4 ten hour days and have 4 days off. On days off I go to the gym the house is clean....ish, spend time with my kids. But on my days on I am up at 4am, get home from work about 4pm (after I pick up the kids), I do no house cleaning in these 4 days, sometimes get to the gym sometimes I don't (weekends the gym closes before I get home) and that must mean there is absolutely no way I can do any form of exercise before bed right!?! The one day challenges are going to be great to get me up and moving before bed.

    Jan 8- 1) to do a video exercise before bed ( instead of watching Dexter)
    2) clean the kitchen, vacuum
    3) not have an evening snack

    Or instead of missing Dexter, You could march in place and twist while watching.... just a suggestion. I like to move during the commercials when I do get to watch TV. Just fit it in where ever you can! I am a morning work out, or it just doesn't happen! Good luck!

    RosyK- Eating out is almost always a surprise in calories. I usually try to only eat half of what they bring and eat slowly. That way I feel fuller faster.

    So Sunday was a much more productive day than Saturday!!!!!! I am looking forward to a productive week with maybe even a little structured exercise :blushing:

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

    You know what, I think that will do for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful one!!!!

    This challenge is wonderful I have not only been logging them here but in my blog. Keeps me accountable day by day.

    Yesterday I was too busy and forgot to log. I also know because of that I went well over my calories for the day. I drink at least 8 glasses of water but also had several glasses of tea. Hubby went with me to the grocery store and helped me figure out meals for the week.

    Today's Goals
    1) Log everything.
    2) Stay within my calories.
    3) Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
    4) Get applications in the mail today.
    5) Have a good day at work.
