    I went off my plan about a week before Christmas and I am having a very difficult time getting back on the beam. Even when I stay under calories, I go over in fat or just eat the wrong things that only prolong my urges for unhealthy things. I'm very frustrated!

    Goals for Jan 04

    do all exercises
    make better food choices & stay under calorie limit
    send two b'day cards
    get to work by 10

    My goals for Tuesday...posting early just to be accountable....

    To journal the foods I eat honestly....did
    To get some exercise in..... did
    To not stress eat in the afternoon .... this one may be a bit of a challange.... cause the work volumes will be heavy. did not do.... I ate 4 Full bars in the afternoon.

    Well I didnt hide, I journaled what I ate.... It is important to be accountable to myself. I did let the stress get to me... and then my blood sugar dropped and so I had to eat some peanut butter to bring it up. Tomorrow will be better.

    This is a wonderful idea! I am a very goal type person so having a place to put things will give credibility to my goals and help me to keep them. Thanks all,
    Since today is gone, I'll post for tomorrow
    January 4
    1. To record all my food choices accurately.
    2. To get to the store to get more yummy veggies for the fridge.
    3. To get a walk in with my goats if it doesn't rain.

    Hi, my name is Brittany and I am a full time college student working on my degree in human services/counseling psychology:) I am 21 and planning my wedding for this august. I have made it my new year's resolution to finally make this year my year! to finally get this extra weight off. My wedding is in 7 months (august 11, 2012) and I really am hoping to lose 50lbs to get to my recommended weight by then...but am taking it day by day and hoping to get as close to my goal as possible by then.

    Since I missed today's goals, my goals for tomorrow January 4th are:

    1. drink at least 5 bottles of water!
    2. get in an hour workout tomorrow since I have to close at work
    3. prepare healthy snacks for myself so I won't eat high calorie food at work

    It's after 9:30 pm here and this is my first post to this site.
    I'm Cristy, I'm 47, I'm a mother of two grown children and expecting 6th grandchild very soon.
    Today I had two goals, drink lots of water and do my new Zumba Wii workout. I did both 12 glasses of water and 45 mintues of Zumba.

    I will set my goals for tomorrow now:
    First and foremost I need to get off here now and get a good night's sleep
    then I need to fit in at least 45 minutes of cardio tomorrow
    no wine

    This is a great idea, look forward to checking back on how we all did with our goals!! One day at a time!

    Ok so here were 2nd Januarys goals for yesterday the 3rd Jan

    A TRUE record of everything that passes my lips
    One form of exercise - I've done my 25 Jumping Jacks
    Drink more water - Will try again but finding this one difficult
    Sort my paperwork out for my first day back in the office
    Sort of the washing/ironing pile

    I am a little behind with my food diary but thats because I'm wanting to do SW and it doesnt match with the calorie options the diary so I am wondering whether just to keep it on paper?
    One form of exercise - I did 3 ! Walked the dog, walked up the hill and did my jumping jacks
    Drink more water - Still finding this one difficult but at least I am drinking!
    Sort out my paperwork - Did a little bit which was better than none
    I didnt touch the ironing pile - OH NO! ... lol

    First time poster; I'm a mother of three (15, 8, & 5) I joined MFP in March and did absolutely nothing with it. 2 days after Christmas I saw a picture of myself and decided it was time to get real with myself, so here I am. Today, it has been 1 week and I have been able to reduce my insulin intake from 200 units daily to 90 units daily. It is amazing how changing your diet and adding walking each day can actually change your life.

    Goal 1: Set my food plan for today
    Goal 2: Walk for a mile
    Goal 3: Create categories in my diary so my snacks are separated between meals.

    Goals for Jan 3-
    1. drink 32 oz of water - DONE
    2. clean my desk for 10 minutes - FAILED - had a couple meetings I had forgotten about and had to respond to our lawyers. But it is still pathetic that I couldn't find 10 minutes in my day to do this.
    3. go for a walk (lunch or some other time) - Done - yay me - almost put it off, but didn't
    I also have a personal training appointment, but getting to that isn't really a goal - the fact that I pay for it motivates me to get there. DONE

    Goals for Jan 4 -
    1. drink 48 oz of water - will be a challenge without going to the gym
    2. clean my desk for 10 minutes
    3. go for a walk
    4. make my lunch
    5. call Kevin Urie and write Depletions PA (doesn't mean anything to anyone else, but is a related to a big work project I have been putting off)

    Ok after reading the last 2 days worth of goals I realized I haven't been completing all of them! So today I will finish up all of those ( except the Standout program for work, waiting on a new one) and these,
    1. Mop the floors, knock down cobwebs, dust, vacuum, finish laundry!
    2. Finish the kitchen, put everything away!
    3. Fix dad's birthday cake and dinner!
    4. Make an appointment to get my Trailblazer inspected before I get a ticket! Completely forgot about that last month!
