    My goals for Saturday

    Since I am posting my goals late, my goals got changed due to the snow/ice storm we got last night.
    I had to cancel my chiropractor and massage appointment.....sigh.... I did reschedule for next weekend....

    shoveled snow and ice off cars and driveway ... already done, 1 hr of shoveling
    work overtime on a special project for work.... done...worked 3 1/2 hours....yay overtime $$
    journal my food honestly.... I think by putting this in writing every day, I do it. ... done
    drink water and green tea...... done
    relax this evening and pamper myself with a long hot shower and painting my nails..... time to relaxright now watching some junk reality tv...

    Have a great weekend everyone....be safe if you go driving in the snow/ice mess.

    Today was a really good day. I feel like I accomplished a lot.

    Journal my food honestly

    Goals for Saturday were:
    1. burn 1000 calories even if I don't log food.
    2. make sure my Senior has what he needs for his Winter Ball.
    3. Make today an "appreciation day" as I may have lost a cousin, my daughter is turning 13, my son is going to a ball & I survived a meeting w/a pitbull this morning!!

    I accomplished all 3 of these goals. HAPPILY!!

    Goals for Today are:
    1. burn 1000 calories_WITHOUT skipping housecleaning!!
    2. bake a delicious turkey and re-enact Thanksgiving!!
    3. go shopping for a spectacular outfit to wear next month at my son's banquet.

    May you all have a super Sunday filled with warmth & comfort while being nice & loving yourself !!! (mushy, I know)

    3. Make today an "appreciation day" as I may have lost a cousin, my daughter is turning 13, my son is going to a ball & I survived a meeting w/a pitbull this morning!!

    I am assuming you are okay after meeting the pitbull! Hugs about cousin! OMG a 13 year old girl! I don't miss those days! ;) I think appreciation day is wonderful idea!

    Meeting with the pitpull w/my anxious & scared dog was like being in an ocean with a great white shark. (Or the scene on the movie Alien when his face is next to Sijourney Weaver's!) Neither dog even growled and a kind man called the police & held the dog-who turned out to be nice.
    My cousin ended up passing away, my daughter stayed on the couch & waited for an invitation from her friends to take her out but it never came, and my son looked amazing, mostly because he picked out his own outfit so that meant he wanted to look his best.
    It's important to take a day off and appreciate things because life is fast forward in my house. Now today I pay the price and clean my house that looks like an episode of Hoarders.

    Goals for January 21:
    1.Stay in my calorie range--HEALTHY CHOICES!--No.
    2. Drink water!--Yes.
    3. Get the kitchen cleaned up.--yes.

    I will try to get a workout in but there's a lot of food to go through and I may as well clean the refrigerator while it is (mostly) empty!

    I'll try to get back later.

    We went grocery shopping to restock. The roads weren't bad but some of the drivers were! It took FOREVER! I plan on a workout today.

    Goals for January 22:
    1. HEALTHY CHOICES!!! and stay in my calorie range.
    2. 30 minutes workout (at least)
    3. Drink water!

    Wow, Great idea, I really enjoyed reading everyone's challenges, struggles and successes.

    My name is Paula, I'm 47, newly divorced (sigh) and have just moved to Florida from California. Often, alcohol is my challenge, ( I can't be the only one) even if I don't drink much, it makes me eat too much and then makes me puffy.

    My challenges for today are:

    1. Call my mom, I have some stuff to deal with there.
    2. No alcohol.
    3. burn at least 300 extra calories.

    Have a great night everyone. In DE, our snow has turned completely to ice, the temperature is going really low tonight.

    I woke up this morning feeling all stiff, achy and congested. I felt light headed all day, basically just took it easy and watched Law and Order Marathon. I am hoping this is just a 24 hour bug, gonna go to bed early tonight.

    Goals today Saturday January 21
    1. Water (10-12)-did
    2. Stay in calories range-think I did
    3. Laundry-yes
    4. Walking video or zumba for 20 minutes.yes

    So Saturday was a success I reckon.

    Didn't get goals posted yesterday. Had planned on a simple dust/vacuum of house....one thing led to another and ended up with a deep clean! All the knick nacks moved and dusted, all the sills, baseboards, even washed the walls! So much for a relaxing Sunday!!!! :wink:

    Not feeling really well today, this cold is knocking me, just like the rest of you! Goals are

    Monday, January 23
    1. Water (10-12)
    2. Calories -stay within 100 either way
    3. Dance for 20 minutes!

    lstnlondry- Sorry about your cousin. Hugs for you! Glad it was a good weekend.

    Rosey- I wasn't planning on deep cleaning, it just happened! I need to shampoo carpets. That is for another weekend!

    Have a great day ladies!

    Monday

    1. Do two hours of paperwork. Moving across country and starting a new life has caused me to get behind.
    2. Make backup of DVD for new computer. My husband used to do this computer stuff for me. :-/
    3. No alcohol, makes me puffy.


    There are so many things on my to do list, it really helps to break it down and focus.

    What a great idea. Small little goals work better for me as I found out:

    I'm 33, work full time and have a 3 year old son. Stil trying to fit back in my pre-pregnancy clothes. I don't care so much for the number but want to feel good, like what I see in the mirror and wear my old clothes again. And to have more energy....
    My goals for today
    1. drink water even though I forgot my water bottle
    2. only yoghurt for my pm snack as I forgot my fruit and veggies, too
    3. clean up laundry and do more laundry
