    Had a good day yesterday.

    Did I stay within my calories? Yes

    Did I drink all my water? No, I need to work harder on that - still drinking too much water at night and not enough during the day.

    What did I do that I am proud of that helped me get closer to my goal?
    did a grueling 90 minute workout last night - the instructor is a fitness freak! Boy am I stiff today & ate lots of fruit

    What did I do that I am proud of that helped me get closer to my goal? I've started lifting weights. While I know thats a small step right now, I know building muscle will help rev up my metabolism, which will help me burn fat faster :happy:

    Cynder, lifting weights is a big deal. You should be proud of yourself.


    Okay here is my questions answered.
    Water? Yes,
    Calories? Yes, and even have some exercise cals left. Ate a lot of them though like more than half of them:embarassed:

    What I am proud of? My motivation: Day 3 of forcing myself to work for that "If everyday were like today" I will be 15 pounds less in 5 weeks. I checked it earlier and it said only 12 pounds so I made sure I added to my cardio until I made it to that point. I am really shooting for that by Aug. 24th.

    My husband is on vacation next week, I am excited we are going to Santa Cruz,CA for the day, then we are going to the sierras to camp. I love that about CA. The only problem is camping means lots of good food and Santa Cruz means lots of good food. Husband says do not worry he will keep me quite active to counter any endulgences. Wish me luck, I really want to try to see if that button is accurate.

    I had just a peice of toast for breakfast then I went grocery shopping and my kids were playing way too much at the store. By the time I got home I was frustrated and starving and made some bad choices by eating too much.:grumble: I know I can't use that as an excuse. I really wanted to keep my 15 pounds in 5 weeks going everyday. Oh well, I will stay within my calories to day anyway. I know I can still exercise. I know that it is still quite possible to lose that 15 by Aug. 24th. Oh well I needed to vent a bit. I am going to get down to business and get my work done so that I can get and hour of cardio in today to make up for lunch.

    I was WAY over my calorie limit last night. I beat myself up and down the block about it, but just realized its not the end of the world. There will still be the occasional binge days, and I cant let that binge dictate how I eat the rest of the day/week/month/year/my life.

    I did meat my water goal, and was way over my personal coffee goal.

    Hi all, just got home from the doctor my blood pressure is high, again. I have to go to medication for it. I am too young for this. He said I am putting down the cause is obesity. I said I know. I asked what are the chances of gettin off the med. He will not even consider it until I lose another 50 pounds. My kids do not deserve this. I have found one more motivation to get me going.

    Hi All!

    So off to another long night at work, and my fridge is empty.....so I am going to be forced to get a hot dog combo for lunch (I work at costco)!! I have some little tomatoes, I think I will take that for my lunch and drink at least 2 bottles of water while I am there. My goal today? To go grocery shopping after work and stock my fridge with healthy foods so I can take my lunch and not have to buy food court food!!

    I will update everyone on how I did later today!

    KEEP IT UP EVERYONE

    -Andrea

    jesp, we would love to support you. I am excited for you that you are almost out of the 2's we all want our number to start with a 1.

    Andrea, I think you have a good goal. Good for you!! It does make it so much easier to control your cals when you make the food your self. Good luck. (you can still plan your cals around that hotdog since it is your only option today)

    weigh in - down 1.4 pounds this week

    Today -

    water - check!
    calories - yup, with a little to spare!
    what am I proud of - I have been trying new healthy recipes this week. I made 3 batches of muffins, and some brownies (all with whole wheat flour, honey and applesauce to cut down on the oil and sugar, and the brownies have zucchini) and froze them all to keep me in control of portions. I also tried swiss chard this week, and am going to try a recipe with egg plant tomorrow.

So ...I went to TACO BELL after class and freaking went to town...i had a low cal dinner and snacks later so luckily I only went over by about 30 cals. Only drank half my water, gonna do better tomorrow. GOOD NIGHT
