    Weighed at my TOPS group last night, recorded weight this morning - it felt great to LOSE weight this week.

    Did eat some chips and dip last night after the meeting, but had only had 600 calories all day, so I was hungry. I also ate a bologna sandwich with those chips, but I did record all of it.

    I am trying to eat more fresh veggies and make smart choices. I'm doing so much better than two weeks ago.

    Same goals....eat right, RECORD EVERYTHING, and walk tonight!

    goals for thursday 4/12

    1. drink a gallon of water
    2. either treadmill for 30 minutes or ride my bike for 30 minutes
    3. don't blow a days worth of work when i meet my friend to watch the hockey game

    my update:
    1. drank my gallon of water.
    2. wanted to ride my bike, but then it started raining, so did treadmill for 40 minutes. (found a good song on ipod just as i was hitting the 30 minute mark, so kept walking and listened to the song)
    3. did good at my friends, two small alcoholic drinks and a grilled chicken wrap and water for dinner. all logged and still way under calories.

    with drinking more water, i am not nearly as hungry over the last two days and have cut down considerably on some snacking.

    -til tomorrow.

    It is so good to see everyone coming on and setting up their goals and coming back to update the next day. That's awesome! hello to all the new faces. This is a great place to be.

    I just wanted to mention a bonus goal from yesterday. I didn't even include it because I have been putting it off for so long. I finally hand washed my car and vaccummed out the inside. I still need to wipe down the dash and the console. Maybe I will do that this weekend. I'm motivated to do it now because the first parts turned out great.

    Sorry I haven't been on all weekend. I have been very sick. I am going to see my primary doctor tomorrow after work to hopefully find out exactly what is wrong.
    I will set my goals according to my current state of mind.
    1. Eat slowly so I can keep food down.
    2. Try to drink more liquids to avoid dehydration.
    3. Relax. Avoid sudden movements as it may cause nausea.

    It is actually hard for me to follow these goals, especially number 3. I am always in go, go, go mode. So asking me to sit down is not an easy task. I will keep you updated on my progress.

    I was able to relax over the weekend. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, so I can find out what the hell is wrong with me.
    Today I plan on just relaxing and trying to eat something. The last few days I have only had about 400 calories for the whole day, I have to try to find a way to get more in my system.
    Rest is on the list for the day.
    will also try to get some reading done.

    Thanks bubbles!! I'd like to report that I am doing better, but that's just not the case. I found out that I am going to have to have surgery at the end of the month. I have to try to find a middle ground from being in pain and being drugged to get things done. I am still not eating much. Maybe 700 calories at most today, I didn't even calculate it, it probably wasn't even that many. I am getting ready to do some research so I can know a little more before meeting with the surgeon on monday. thanks for the warm wishes

    Today's goals:
    1 Eat more. I know I need to eat for fuel, but it so hard to eat when I am hurting so bad. But I do need to stay strong, so eating something is going to be necessary.
    2 Freeze the workouts. Atleast temporarily until I feel better. I did zumba last night and it probably wasn't the best idea
    3 Stay on top of my assignments. Its hard to do because of my condition, but I'm doing the best I can.
    4. try to stay away from the medicines. I do need to be coherent throughout the day.

    I'm really sad to see that the day by day support thread is not as active as it once was. I have been sick and I am finally feeling better, a little like my old self again. I will set my goals and hope others follow suit.

    goals for tomorrow, Wednesday, 425.

    1. Pack enough food for the day. I know I will be gone all day and I want to be able to make smart choices.
    2. Drink water, water, water.
    3. exercise in the morning before work, otherwise there will not be any time throughout the day.

    nonfitness goals.
    1. finish my reading for school.
    2. work on assignments.
    3. get some sleep, relax.
