    The last few days have been disasterous to my meal plan. Work has been crazy busy, Wednesday night I worked until 9:15 pm. Thursday night I cleaned the house from top to bottom. It almost sparkles. And it is probably the reason why one of my doggies got sick on the carpet upstairs and that it is raining outside so that the doggies can drag mud onto the freshly shampood carpets.

    I just went back and attempted to write down what I ate. I know I missed some of the food I ate. My blood sugar went crazy.

    Today is a new day.....and a new beginning.

    My goals for today

    To journal my food honestly
    To drink water and green tea
    To food shop and pick up healthy foods
    To buy myself some flowers
    To try some relaxation exercises tonight

    I REALLY need this group! I have had a couple of really rough weeks after 3 months of solid losses in pounds and gains in strength. Like imworthit, I struggle with binge eating. My goals for today are:
    -Avoid thoughts of binge eating
    -Avoid trigger foods (chocolate, starches)
    -Stay away from the scale

    Goals for March 2:
    1. Plenty of fluids!--Need more.
    2. Healthy choices and portion control.--Yes on portions but the choices weren't the best.
    3. 1 mile walking workout.--Walked for 2 miles.

    I went out for a while yesterday and did a lot of walking--I felt okay most of the day but then the headache starts in the afternoon and is just miserable. My son had this also and it lasted a couple of weeks. The doctor says its going around and is a cold-type virus.
    When Im sick I usually give in to everthing to try to make myself feel better, doesnt work but I keep trying, today Im going to try my very best not to fall into old habits.
    Oh my! That is my problem, too!

    Goals for March 3:
    1. Plenty of fluids!
    2. Healthy choices and portion control.
    3. 1 mile walking workout.

    Welcome all! I hope everyone has a good day!

    Today was a total bust the only thing I did was drink water. But have to tell you all it was a rough day of sick kid with the coughs and barfs so i went to the back burner I didnt have time to even think about what I was or wasnt doing just a fact. I hope tomorrow is better. I will post what my goals are when I get up. good night all:yawn:

    Today was not such a great day for me in terms of calories..in fact, it was terrible. I can walk away with a valuable lesson learned though: food does not need to be the enemy, and weight loss is not defined by our mistakes, but rather by our overall progress. One day will not kill us, and one wrong move does not mean the end of the world. Here is to a fresh start. :)

    Goals for 3/4:
    1. Stay under 1700 calories
    2. Stay positive for the entire day
    3. 30 minutes of cardio.

    Somehow I missed the end of February and beginning of March! I have been doing okay with water (other than when traveling) and remembering to wash my face every night. I got contacts which have to come out at night, so that lends toward other things! Happy March 4th!

    Goals for Sunday
    1. Water (10-12 glasses)
    2. Clean my office
    3. Make sure my exercise and calorie intake are in the right proportion!

    Prayers to all affected by the deadly storms. Have a safe and wonderful day!

    Hello all! I am not new to MFP, I have been a member for over a year now...however, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on November 4, 2011, and am trying to get back into shape!! I am new to this group and am looking for some great support and motivation as I am severely lacking the latter! Here are my goals for today:

    1) Start fresh with 30 Day Shred...Day 1
    2) 90 oz of water (They say to drink half your body weight in ounces of water)
    3) No Cheeze-Its or Girl Scout cookies (These seem to be my weaknesses and are packed full of calories!)
