Same old Goals...but a new commitment!!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

So proud of you, gal!

Eeeek...three points for me today! Slow day.

1 point for working out (but only burned 400 calories)
2 points for keeping my exercise calories healthy

Tomorrow I'm going for 5 points...hang in there everyone!

OH and I booked a massage for Sunday afternoon. Ever the optimist!

O glorious, 5-POINT DAY!!!!

1 point for working out
2 points for burning 900 calories
2 points for keeping all those extra calories healthy

I am at 24 points for the week, so as long as I do well tomorrow, I can get that massage!!!!

:sad: I didn't get my points! I don't think I went over my cals this weekend, but I just don't feel right about giving myself the points... I didn't eat healthy at all!

This week I'll do better!
New Goals:

1. Workout 4 days this week (1 pt/day) 2 pts extra per day over 4
2. Eat 5 Servings of fruits and veggies 4 days this week (1 pt/day) 2 pts extra per day over 4
3. Drink 8 glasses of water 5 days this week (2 pts/day)
4. Stay within calories and have them be healthy calories 1 day of the weekend (5 points)

Total for week: 23 points
Reward: Go take pics

I'm taking it a little slower this time to build my confidence in myself, then when I know I can do this I will make it a little bit harder. Thanks for all of your support! You all are truly inspiring! :happy:

Me too! I have always struggled with this, because I have nothing to do on the weekends! This weekend was especially hard because I let a man dictate how I feel about myself! Well, needless to say he didn't think as highly of me as he should have and I let it get me down. No more! I'm doing this for ME! I'm worth way more than he thinks and someday he's going to realize it! But, I just may not be around when that day comes! Sorry, I just had to vent!:blushing: I'm done and moving on!:happy:

I wish I could explain the joy I get from my fresh new chart for this week!! Anyone else?

Yesterday was 5 points:
1 point for working out
2 points for keeping within my calories and keeping them healthy
2 points for not eating sweets!

I haven't been doing very well. :grumble: I haven't done the point thing but my calories have been WAY off. :noway:

I exercised hard yesterday though, I was actually nauseous when I was done. I did my new Turbo Jam DVD--Total Body Blast, it's a ball workout, and it is 60 minutes (where I'm used to doing 30-40 minutes), and that ball is the devil! :devil: :laugh:

That dang scale hasn't moved up or down, but I did lose another half inch from my waist (totalling an inch). So far it seems like that's the only place I lost anything.. My thighs just don't wanna move!

But anyway, I just thought I'd check in. I hope you all are having more luck with the calories than I am! :flowerforyou:

Yesterday was a 3- point day for me too!

1 point for exercise
2 points for water

Good Luck Everyone!:flowerforyou:

Boo hoo! No gold stars for me this week. I kind of fell apart there at the end! And, even worse, I already bought my reward treat!!!! So now I REALLY need to reach my goal this week. I don't want to have to return my cute new Lululemon gear (also, not really possible since it's sweaty...lol).

Here is my new plan:

+ Work out every day (workout = 500 calories burned) -- 1 point per day (6 points per week)
+ Bonus points for over 750 calories -- 1 point per day (2 points per week)
+ Bonus points for over 900 calories -- 1 point per day (2 points per week)
+ Yoga, ballet or swimming -- 1 point per session (2 points per week)
+ Keep within my calories, keep them healthy -- 2 points per day (10 points per week)

*******TOTAL GOAL POINTS: 22********

Good luck, everyone! Who's with me?

Argh! :explode: I did bad this weekend, but I was really stressed (I know, not a good excuse, but the only one I have!). I bought a Nissan Xterra last November for way more than I should have, and with gas prices constantly on the rise I had reached a point where I was paying more for gas that for the actual car, not to mention the fact that the Xterra was losing about $1000.00 in value every month!:grumble: On Saturday, I decided to buy a new car and try to get as much out of the Xterra as I could. Well, needless to say I'm paying $10,000.00 for a car I don't have and I had to buy a nicer car so that I could qualify for the financing I need to cover the loss on the Xterra! I know that in the end I will come out ahead, but right now it's a little scary! I was very stressed and didn't have any control over anything I ate!

I'm starting over this week with the same goals! And, I'm determined to do it this time!

Thanks all for the wonderful support you are and good luck to each of you! I know you can do it! :flowerforyou:

(Sorry to complain, I just had to get it out so I can move on!)

Monday will be a 4-point day!

(I'm going to post every day, hoping to keep myself a bit more accountable this week)

1 point for working out
1 point for burning 900 calories
