    Its a new day and I have finished all that was on my lists from the past couple of day's! So for today!
    1. Repair and sew pile of clothes on top of my dresser! Done!

    3. Put together something for my family for dinner tonight since I'm heading back to work this evening.
    4. Make myself take a 4 hour nap this afternoon!
  • 1. At LEAST 8 glasses of water a day - killed it, but I think a sore throat helps me drink more water!
    2. Cover all of my food groups for the day while staying within the parameters of my diet - killed it!
    3. Give myself 20 minutes of meditation time before bed this evening - killed it!

    1. Purchase a resistance ball

    Hello All and Happy New Year!

    My goals for today are pretty simple as I try to get back on plan after a two week vacation for the holidays. Thankfully I didn't go crazy over the holidays but haven't been working out, which killed me but with an ailing mother and other things to take care of it was just too taxing. Anyways here are my main goals for today:

    1. Go on a 3 mile run with my dog.
    2. Drink 64 ounces of water.
    3. Eat 6-12 servings of veg and fruit.

    Here's to keeping promises to myself and getting back to my normal weight.

    Plan for Jan 5:
    1. Yoga Class
    2. Small calorie bump - might be a good day for some lean meat or eggs
    3. Get my daugther started with one of her crafty Christmas presents.

    Check yall tomorrow!

    Been a good day today. I haven't eaten enough and know it. I'm struggling a bit with it because I'm not very hungry at the moment. I'm going to buff dinner with a handful of almonds and milk and see how that goes. Yoga class was awesome, really enjoyed it and my daughter and I are getting ready to try out knitting a hat.

    Plan for Jan 6:
    1. Deal with being out Friday night and stay out of the high calorie stuff
    2. Use extra risers at step class
    3. Watch a little tv

    Hi! My name is Cheryl, I'm 26 from New Zealand and relatively new here.
    My goals are probably a little different to some, I am in recovery from an eating disorder and I come here (use the android app mainly) to try make sure I'm getting enough food and not over exercising. A way to be accountable.
    I have a great supportive partner and a great 12 year old stepson. I'm currently unemployed/working on my health.

    My goals for 6/1/12

    1. Get to my doc appointment at 9.30 - (Made it but was running late!)
    2. Get enough calories
    3. Stick to under 2 hours walking.

    Thanks for this topic its great!
  • I like this idea! I am an American Sign Language teacher in the high school. I am on my feet all day so I am exhausted at the end of the schol day. I have been overweight all my life and am really tired of it. I have tried and failed at losing weight. I have tried MFP a couple of times but have not stuck with it. I like the idea of doing this one day at a time. I have three sons (two in college and one in HS) My husband is amazing and very patient. I would love to be in better shape for him.

    Goals for tomorrow: record every thing I eat
    prayer and reading the Bible
    drink lots of water

    1. walk for 30 min
    2. put table and chairs away
    3. cross-stitch 2 lenghts of thread
    4. finish dishes

    1. Plan a grocery list (I did this today so I will select another)
    2. Do 1@ min of stretching
    3. Clean out refrigerator
    4. Shred for an hour

    Ok so January 5th was a fail day for me, I was over calories, and missed my water by 1 serving lol. And I hung out with a friend and had a playdate for my daughter so I didnt get my exercise in. Going to make up for it today!
    Jan 6th goals
    1. meet water
    2. do wii and/or clean for at least 1 hr
    3. have better self control, no munching out uncontrollably like i did yesterday!
  • Accomplished my logging and was only slightly over my calories for the day. Still not drinking pop, which is causing me one killer headache. Still haven't gotten my applications done, was going to do them when I got home but forgot to bring a black pen home. I have 6 millions of any other color no black. I did pretty well at work , although it might have helped that the worst negative offender had been talk to the night before about her attitude.

    Today's goals
    1) Log everything good or bad
    2) Stay within my calories for the day.
    3) Drink 8 glasses of water today.
    4) GET MY APPLICATIONS FINISHED. (sorry this is all caps but it is most important)
    5) Get my gym membership started. (need to go 12 times in a month for insurance)
