    Well, finally got my scale fixed and my two week hiatus from weighing/logging gave me a 2 pound weight gain. Blech! I didn't think I was eating poorly either ... just goes to show that tracking is important.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? back to tracking
    What would I have done differently? eaten a better dinner
    What is today's personal goals? check in, track calories, 60 minutes body pump done at the Y

    GW at the end of the Spring 2013 check in - 6/21/13 219 (not going to happen now unless I get a miracle on the scale!)

    Sun- rest - DONE
    Mon - 40 minutes step - DONE
    Tues - 60 minutes sbody pump DONE
    Wed - rest? or 40 minutes step
    Thurs - 45 minutes step
    Fri - 60 minutes step or 60 minutes turbo kick
    Sat - walk/run at the farm

    So... we are coming to a close of the Spring 2013 check-in. Since March I have gone from 213 to 202.5. Finally got my mind back on track. When my mind is on track so is my eating. I feel like I've accomplished more this check in than I have in a long time. I am happy with my results and hope to keep the pace going. Next week my daughter and I are going to Disney. I know there will be a lot of walking so I just need to keep my eye on my eating. Kudos to everyone who has been checking in. This is the most active check-in we've had in a long time (and I've been doing this check in for 4 years - WOW!). I will be posting a new Summer 2013 check in on Friday. Hope everyone can join in again!!! Let me know if you have any suggestions :bigsmile:

    Sun- a 2+ mile walk with my daughter - first time she's walked with me for exercise
    Mon - 42 mins elliptical
    Tues - 60 mins yoga

    The old saying goes do not go shopping until you eat. I broke down and bought a chocolate bar before lunch. ;(
    I am tracking my weekends only diary for my nutritionist and I see her next Monday. I can really see how my
    weekend eating is so out of whack.
    GOLDK: I hope you continue this in the summer. I will be on vacation for 2 weeks starting next Wednesday
    but I will return. :bigsmile:

    Did you stay within your nutritional goal? YES
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal?
    What would I have done different? Maybe not had that chocolate bar before lunch and hold off until then.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Got all laundry done and most of the ironing. Taking care
    of my daughter's cat.
    What is today's personal goals? Track everything, exercise, make good choices.

    Thank you all for welcoming me into this check-in group and thanks to goldk for setting it up I started tracking within the last couple of weeks and joined the Daily Check In thread the next day! It's certainly a help and requires me to think and plan every day. I enjoy reading everybody's daily accomplishments and daily struggles! If nothing else, it makes me realize I'm no different than anyone else with the same goals and struggles! I started at 217..........down to 211. My mindset is in a pretty good place so I'm committed to make this happen! I expect to be at GW set for the end of the Spring 2013 check in of 210 on the 21st! Thanks again goldk...........setting little short term goals is not as overwhelming as thinking about my overall goal!

    I know. I've been looking at that more closely and prepared food is FULL of sodium! I'm able now to do more home cooking so that's what I need to do!

    I'll have to think hard about my summer goal. Will be vacationing for about 6 weeks but will have a kitchen for most of it and will be hiking and walking, so I have no excuse to not keep on track!

    Well, I managed to maintain that 5 pound loss of last week and still weigh 143 pounds. Further loss would have been nice, but I when you eat too much & don't exercise enough... well, it just ain't happenin'.

    I'll head over to the Summer thread. Thanks so much GoldK!!!
