    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.

    1. Called my mom, we had a nice chat. She's doing well.
    2. had no alcohol
    3. burned more than 500 cals on a bike ride. Woot!
    4. Sad my 49ers lost the Game

    It was a good day, see you tomorrow!

    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.

    1.) Drink 10-12 cups of water (4 down so far)
    2.) Fit in a 45 minute work-out
    3.) Work 3.0 hours of overtime at the office

    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
