So my goals for tomorrow (Thur) are:
1. Stick to my food goals and dont over snack.
2. Spend more fun time with the kids.

Well, (if I have figured out how to reply to my own post )
here is how I did today; I drank my water, took something to eat to work AND didn't eat any of the yummy kid food AND I managed to get some filing done. I have to still walk for 30 minutes but will do it before bedtime.
Tommorow: Thursday I will keep the same goals cuz I'm still not very good at doing them regulary. Will add one to go to the YMCA and check it out (see if I can afford it or not)
Today went good. I went to the YMCA and was able to walk and do some of the machines. Liked it alot
My goasl for Friday are:
1 Go back to the YMCA and join.
2 Someone had said drink only one cup coffee. What a great idea. So I think I will steal that one and try it also.
3 Drink more water and log my meals before I eat them.
4 Pay the bills!!0 -

Lots of blood work.....all the regular blood tests along with testing me for MS, Lupus and Lyme disease again because of all the joint pain I have. (I have 2 cousins with Lupus and one cousin with Lyme disease)
Appointment with my personal trainer
Do laundry
Journal my food honestly
Drink my green tea and water.
We are supposed to get about 3 inches of snow tomorrow.....so hoping it just passes us by. Hope everyone has a great weekend.0 -
Hey guys! what a great post,, i get disheartened at looking at long term goals, they seem so far away so daily ones are great, one day at a time...

Now I have a fresh start and Im becoming the person that I was always meant to be and it feels great..
a few slips here and there,,, but getting there!!
lots of things to look forward this year before pursuing my masters degree.

When was the last time you joined a challenge and lost interest or focus and stopped half way through? It's not intentional, its just harder to commit to something for weeks or months at a time.
This is a thread where you set daily goals. If you slip up today you get a new 24 hours tomorrow to try again. Post 3 or more goals, fitness related or not, come back tomorrow to recap the day before. Then post 3 more goals for the day.
It's not an exclusive group, all new members are welcome, and people come and go. It's not cut throat, if you do not post daily, we won't kick you out the group. Just post when you can.
When Nicole (PSUgrl921) started this thread late last summer it was designed to serve as a reminder of things she'd like to accomplish each day. Then be proud of herself for meeting little goals and eventually make them habit forming. She opened her doors and allowed us to be apart of her crusade. I bet she didn't think her day by day motto would still be going strong more than 12 months later.
So ask me when was the last time I stayed committed to a challenge for weeks or months? I still am, one day at a time.
If you're new, tell us your name a little about yourself if you like.
If you're returning, introduce yourself and briefly tell what this thread means to you!
Hello everyone my name is Tanya. I am a mother of a beautiful 7 year old little girl. I started this journey of obtaining a healthy lifestyle about 2.5 years ago. I have had my ups and downs. I have joined many challenges, but wasn't motivated enough to continue. This thread couldn't have come at a better time. I am loving the ideal of taking day to day.
Goals for Saturday:
1. Drink at least 8 Glasses of Water
2. Go to accounting tutoring
3. Take some items to my new apartment
4. Track everything I eat in my diary0 -
Friday, February 10

we got 3 " of snow, but mainly only stuck to grass, so just a salt this morning. Been up since 4 AM. I know that means I will burn more calories today, just by being up. I hope everyone getting snow is staying warm and safe. I am happy the sun is shining brightly!

Missed posting yesterday but had a fairly good day. Went over my calorie goals a bit but not bad.
I could never drink just one cup of coffee! Good thing its actually loaded with antioxidants and is good for lots of other things, too. Just don't put all the sweet creamers and sugar in it. I love coffee!

Welcome, bells1990--Ah, Boston, my old stomping grounds. I loved living in that city!

I know I'm a little late, but I'd like to join as well. My name is Caitlin. I work at a very active job and am very busy, leaving me little time or energy for solid exercise. While my job does keep me on my feet a lot, it also encourages me to eat not so healthily, since I'm often eating on the go. I need a little accountability for my choices and I'm hoping this group will help. Today is already half over, but my goal for the remainder of the day is to not sabatoge my eating in the afternoon and evening just because I've already made some not great choice this morning. I'll hopefully be back tomorrow with new goals!!!0

My goals for Saturday
Not sure how the day is gonna go, since I have a 6am glocuse tolenance test. I have had some issues with my blood sugar dropping (at Christmas dinner, my blood sugar dropped to 40). My sister tested it when I told her I felt like I was going to pass out about 15 minutes after dinner. So, if I don't fall out flat on the floor....
Lots of blood work.....all the regular blood tests along with testing me for MS, Lupus and Lyme disease again because of all the joint pain I have. (I have 2 cousins with Lupus and one cousin with Lyme disease) had to put it off til next week.
Appointment with my personal trainer done with great results
Do laundry gonna do it tomorrow
Journal my food honestly done, I have to keep checking my meal plan since the portions got changed
Drink my green tea and water. done
We are supposed to get about 3 inches of snow tomorrow.....so hoping it just passes us by. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
I got up this morning at 5am to get over to have my bloodwork done. Luckily, the snow was mostly on the cars, grass and trees. Since my doctor didnt't specify the type of glocuse tolerance test, they couldnt do any of the bloodwork. So I went home and had my regular breakfast. So that will be put off until next Saturday.
My appointment with my personal trainer went really well. I lost 2 1/2 lbs this week. So since the beginning of January, I am down 10 1/2 lbs of fat. My lean mass has stayed about the same. He added more calories to my meal plan and wants me to exercise more. He knows that I hate to exercise...but I do feel better when I do.
Just finished dinner, so time to get the dishes done and then go ride my exercise bike. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!!0 -
