    Ended up working most of the weekend so didn't reach my goals of cleaning and taking time to myself. BUT, I was good about logging everything and even came in under calories on Saturday. Yesterday was a different story, went over when I baked cookies for kiddos (ate like 4 on my own!) but exercised in the afternoon. I definitely have to get a heart rate monitor I was pounding it on the elliptical yesterday... did 30 seconds of extreme and 30 seconds of moderate for almost 30 minutes. Silly machine says I only burned a little over 100 cals... no way!

    Today's goals:

    1.) Limit sugar and carbs to make up for yesterday's cookie binge!
    2.) Increase veggies and fiber
    3.) Go to a kick boxing class tonight.

    Wow, what a ****ty day yesterday.
    I went to dinner at a friend's house last night, completely unexpected. Planned on only having one glass of wine (which threw that goal in the trash) and just kept drinking. That led to a lot of eating. And now my brain is fuzzy and I feel like I still have alcohol running through my system. That has started my day off today eating crap to just try to absorb the wine in my blood. I am so mad at myself I could scream. If anyone actually reads this, I could use some serious support right now. Thanks.

    1-10 glasses of water-NO
    2-RI30-DONE
    3-log EVERYTHING-NO
    4-avoid alcohol-NO
    5-email interview results-DONE

    Goals for 27 March

    Yesterday ALMOST made my goals. Could have lightened up on the sugar more than I did. BUT did go to an hour kick boxing class last night and kept dinner minimal.

    TODAY:
    1.) TONS of water to flush out the sugary nastiness.
    2.) Load up the fruits and veggies today
    3.) Plan calories around dinner. (Business dinner out tonight and its SO hard to be good.)
    4.) Don't be a bump on a log when I get home even though it might be later. Maybe a little yoga before bed.

    Well...we're in the home stretch here with March. Can you believe it?!

    Didn't meet all my goals yesterday. ALMOST did but blew it between dinner out and nighttime sweet tooth attack. I mean BLEW it. Ended up 400 calories over and in all reality, probablly a little bit more. :(

    Ok, TODAY's a NEW Day....

    1.) Up the ante on the water.... 60+ oz. to flush out my sugar overload.
    2.) Lots of fiber and veggies today.
    3.) Get my butt moving... maybe some 30 Day Shred. (Never actually made it to level 2 yet.)

    1.) Water, 60+ oz.
    2.) MUST exercise tonight. MUST!!!
    3.) No matter how late I get home, have to tidy up a bit.

    Had a bad day all ways around yesterday. It was so bad I got a happy meal for dinner on my way home which wasn't until after 8 p.m. I then sat on my butt all night and watched 3 hours of TV before bed.

    TODAY:

    1.) Lots of water!
    2.) Very minimal calories for most of the day. Have a work cocktail party / dinner thing which might be dangerous tonight.
    3.) Clean up a bit when I get home....no matter how late it is!

    WEEKEND:
    Serious exercise to make up for my naughtiness this week. Both days... minimum of 45 minutes of cardio and some strength on both Saturday and Sunday. I can do this!!!

    Sunday--- Cook something healthy so I have it for the week.

    Start some spring cleaning and shred old bills, etc. that are piling up.

    Silverroxy-
    I'm sure there will be another one next month... I joined the Feb group and some of us moved over here from that one. If no one starts it up tomorrow morning you could start it.
