    This week for me will be to drink more water throughout the day, and not force myself to drink 5 glasses each night to get to 8 glasses /day because I've been lazy and not drinking earlier. (I don't drink soda or other things instead of water, I just don't drink much overall)

    I've given up my jello indulgence dessert cups. I didn't eat them every day but was getting to be at least every other day. So ate my last one the other day and didn't get anymore at the store.

    I'm going to try to make my muscles more of a priority. This means more stretching after runs, more lifting which I hate (goal is 2x a week) and getting my protein in everyday.

    Good luck everyone! Looking forward to Sunday weigh in!

    I'm going to cut down on the alcohol- the sun comes out and so does the beer in our house x

    The change that I have already experienced this week is that I WANT to exercise! It is so much more fun when my attitude is right!

    Drinking more water! I am no where near the minimum of 8 cups a day, so I want to do at least that this week!

    Same thing for me. One day, I decide to drink my minimum of 8 cups, and then, 2 days later I give up and get back to my old habits...

    My friends and I do trivia every week and usually get drinks, fries and wings....the past 2 weeks I have been going overboard on all three.. going to cut them out for good for the summer...and try to only drink one day a week

    second thing to change is to STAY under carbs

    i think mine will be actually trying to eat and workout. I have noticed I haven't been eating even 1000 calories and when i workout i am netting only 500. according to my polar account i should be eating over 2000 a day and mfp says just over 1500.

    My one thing this week was just to get used to logging everything. I've done well! Now for next week, I think I'd like to change another thing - quit chocolate! If I do this it will cut out a major portion of my sweet tooth habit. Almost all of the junk food I eat has some form of chocolate in it. I won't want to eat it for quite a awhile until I can be into the habit of watching what I eat regularly.

    im not a fan of vegetables..so i will try to have some with my meals..

    This! I don't mind veggies, but it wasn't a priority growing up, so I don't really know great ways to prepare them other than with cheese or cream of something soup smothered all over them (southern cooking). I like raw veggies, so maybe just have those ready to snack on.

    Thanks for all the great comments.
    One thing I will change is to log in EVERYDAY
    I see myself slipping up and not logging in. The accountability factor is huge for me.

    So Here ... We... Go...
    Back on track..

    To up my exercise by a few minutes each day. Today I did an extra 4 minutes on top of my regular 60.

    Work night's in a restaurant and I tend to stay awake until dawn, sleep all day or get barely enough sleep.
    I will try to change these habits and make it to the gym or do a video by 10am everyday this week!!

    Sweets are my enemy. I finished my last bag of Swedish Fish yesterday and they are now banned from my home.
