    I don't have anything special that concides with July 4th but I had already been thinking about something I wanted to accomplish so that will be my July 4th goal.

    1. By July 4th I want to be able to wear 2 pairs of capri jeans I've been saving. I haven't worn them in about 6 yrs I think. lol I think they are size 14's. I wanted to be able to wear them sometime well before summer is over. That would be 2 pants sizes so maybe I can do it.
    2. Continue logging my food and exercise every day on MFP.
    3. Stay within my 1200 calorie range and keep my carbs fairly low for my blood glucose readings.
    4. Walk / Exercise at least 15 miles or 4 1/2 hours per week.

    WOOOO--HOOOOOO!! This group is building up fast! :drinker:

    I hope you are all well this morning :flowerforyou: :smile: It's another bright and sunny day in Athens, Greece and I wish hubby didn't have to work so we could go out and gather some sun.

    I underdid it yesterday. I forgot to eat dinner and by the time my stomach reminded me, it was too late for a meal so I just ate a Greek yoghurt. As a result, my day logged in at only about 600 calories. I'll try not to overdo it today to make up for what I missed yesterday, cause that's the first step down a road I've travelled many times: the road to regain! :noway:

    My physiotherapy machine broke down yesterday and now I have to call the Company to fix it. That may take a while because they are slow, and it means that I can forget even that little bit of exercise I could do in the meantime. :sad:

    Well, have a great day everyone! Drink all your water, stay away from the bad foods and work to achieve your goals!

    Got my 30 minutes in today! Yay! It's hard to believe but I sometimes have trouble gettin in my regular calorie and hardly ever make it into my exercise calories. I'm gonna try to work on that. I just never seem to have time for a snack at work and after I've had my lunch I'm just not hungry. I need to work on higher calorie lunches I guess. I'm experimenting with some protein bars for breakfast as I've never been a big breakfast eater. Any Protein bar suggestions would be welcome! :smile:

    My goals:
    Stay under calorie goal 6/7 days.
    45 minutes of exercise/4 X week

    Hopefully by meeting these goals I will be getting healthier and more fit which is my ultimate goal!!! Have a foot surgery on June 25 so my exercise will really slow down at the end of summer. I want to be in the best shape I can prior to that surgery. Let's do it! :smooched:
