8 weeks until Memorial Day!

Wow! Where does the time go? Can you believe it? We are in April already! Yesterday was full of all kinds of fun pranks, hope yours was too!

Let's hear your goal for this week. Are you shooting for lbs lost, or something else? As for me, I am ready to drop this counter down. Of course, I know that this means getting more consistent with staying within my calorie limits as well as uping the exercise.

Next weekend may be a difficult one for me considering how much I LOVE sweets and it is Easter Sunday. So far I have managed to keep the goodies out of my house but I know I will need to buy some soon. I think Easter will be a bit easier to resist if I get my momentum going today and through the week.

HAPPY MONDAY TO EVERYONE.

    Good morning, time does go by fast. I know what you mean about sweets I gave them up for lent along with chips and beer I've lost 4lbs. I am afraid for the next day after lent.. :noway: I have to be strong and try to deal with it.
    Let's do it again this week.

I only have today till Friday morning to get a good workout since we are flying out Friday at noon for vacation which I am so excited about but I know I am going to bomb eating healthy and def. working out :) instead I will be soaking up the sun and eating yummy food and shopping haha!

    KEEP TRYING, YES! That is definately the right attitude. YOU CAN DO THIS! Boy can I understand your frustrations. Look at your counter! It is heading in the right direction. It is down from where you started. Mine fluctuated and I hated that but now it is at the lowest since I began a few weeks ago. Have a GREAT week!

    It's TOM for me, so my goal is to NOT GAIN this week :). Taking a few days off from running and trying to eat reasonably.

    Well, I lost 1.2 lbs...so maybe my water weight was on last week when I weighed. YAY! Have to deal with tomorrow, then back to running on Monday.

    Happy Easter everybody!
