So my goals for tomorrow (Thur) are:

2: Drink only ONE coffee
3: Finish my media clippings folder (for 2011) at work!!!

Greetings to all the new faces!! I'm sure my fellow challengers have shown you what a success this challenge is in daily life!! I've missed a couple days but I know when I stay on top of it, things work out for me!

Goals for the Monday-Wednesday were:
1.get a handle on at least laundry.
2.help my parents w/a load to the dumps & hope to sneak some of our crap there too!

Still havent gotten my paperwork together for my taxes..... going to at least sort it out tonight. have a great night everyone !!

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!!

1. Drink 10 glasses of water
2. Finish at least one class worth of homework
3. Reward myself for being brave during blood work and shots at doctor's appt. (I hate needles!!!!)
4. Plan next week's meals and make grocery list
5. Finish laundry

Hope everyone has a great weekend and keep up the good work!

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)

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.

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...

im 21 and have had an eating disorder since i was 6,,ekkkkk. Refusing to use it as any type of excuse and trying to get healthy. I left a lot of old habits and left Ireland, the place that I grew up. 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.

im on eastern time in boston usa... but ill check in with the post every day..

Feb 11th

1. drink 3 litres of water
2. get bum to gym
3. low carb and sugar within calories.


thanks for making the post!

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 diary
