    No. I went over 50 calories.

    No

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of?
    Since I didn't exercise I thought that I would go over my 1260 by a significant amount but I didn't. I probably didn't even go over but I don't log my walks with the dog... he moves slow :)

    Found the time to get to the Y or go for a walk

    What is today's personal goals?
    Exercise and watch calories. Enjoy my last day of being 39 :noway: Tomorrow 40 :drinker:

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals?
    Yes, And I was 300 calories under.

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal?
    Yes, I burned 500 calories on the elliptical trainer.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of?
    I didn't go over on calories.

    What would I have done differently?
    Nothing. Yesterday was a good day for me, diet-wise.

    What are today's personal goals?
    1--That if the hubs and I go out to dinner, to eat something lean and healthy.
    2--To tell the hubs how much I love him, as my friend's hubs just passed away (he was 37--sudden heart attack, very sad).
    3--To enjoy each calorie burned while working out---'cause it will never, ever be on my body again.

    Wooo!

    Welcome coolviolet73! Its great to have you joining us. Great job at burning 500 cal. I love your line about burning calories and how those calories will never be on your body again. Great way to look at it.

    goldk-Despite posting that you went over, it seems like you had a good day yesterday. Keep up the good work.

    Anne4251-Even with going over, it's great you exercised despite the lack of desire and you steered clear of the cookies. It's little steps that make us successful.

    lulabellewoowoo-Great job on the time of your miles. Keep up the good work!

    Yes .. well I went over by 9 calories but I'm going to say close enough

    Yes.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of?
    Didn't eat a 2nd dinner when I already ate enough for my first dinner while preparing it for my family. I did 30 minutes on my recumbant bike before bed - even though I really didn't want to

    90 minutes at the Y tonight ... will be a challenge because I have to pick up my son from daycare and bring him to the Y too
