    1. How are you eating today? (Good, Well, Not Enough, Poor, etc...)
    I am eating OK. not great; the day started out good with a banana for breakfast and chicken wraps for lunch; but this evening is 'movie night' for my work and they are treating us to pizza, popcorn and a private showing at a movie theatre so supper will be a bit of a bomb.

    2. What is your Mood today?
    Hopeful. I had a very informative doctor's appointment this morning, and last night... and I am feeling like I may be on my way back to being 'on track' in my life.

    3. What was\is your exercise plan for today?
    I am going to push myself to fit in a 15 minute powerwalk after the movie night my work is having. This is better than the 'nothing' I had planned before this group was formed, and will still allow me to get to bed at a decent time. :)

    You are right, 15 minutes IS better than the planned nothing. I was going to do my run and pace myself as normal...today I am pushing myself 5 minutes harder... that means not as much walking breaks, eeck!

    1. How are you eating today? - Pretty good. I'm doing my own version of the military diet right now - I'm not restricting myself quite as much as the guidelines of the actual diet do, but I'm supplementing with extra fruits and veggies.

    2. What is your mood today? - I'm pretty mellow today and happy. I got a haircut today and feeling pretty confident now.

    3. What is/was your excercise plan for today? - I'll run 3-4 miles on the treadmill tonight and maybe do some strength training as well.

    1. How are you eating today? - OK- i get so busy and I'm running out of ideas for lunches. I feel like I'm living off of bananas!

    2. What is your mood today? - Great! I'm excited to commit to a goal!

    3. What is/was your exercise plan for today? -I'm taking the kiddos to the pool. planning on treading a whole lot of water and hoping to talk the older kids into babysitting for a bit so i can do some serious laps. I'm a bit worried that my exercise program doesn't measure up. I hope I can keep up with the group. Honestly the thought of running 4 miles feels too far out of my reach at this point in my fitness journey.

    I'm eating pretty well today, the sugar's a bit high because I drink tea with sugar. Mood's pretty good, I work at home and hit a creative roadblock so went to the gym to work it out. Felt better after that. Today's exercise plan was to hit the gym and give my legs a light workout and focus on my upper body.

    Just joined my first mfp group. I started mfp 1 1/2 weeks ago and I've dropped 5 pounds quickly.
    Being accountable is great.
    Now, I've got to get to the gym more.
    Any suggestions for a first timer?

    1. How are you eating today? I didn't eat enough today, which is what happens when I get sad, unfortunately. I'm debating whether it's worth it to shove more food in or if I shouldn't just eat extra tomorrow. (Does it work like that?)

    2. What is your Mood today? Ugh, I was in a Mood today. I've been waiting to hear back from a job, and at this point no news is certainly bad news.

    3. What was\is your exercise plan for today? My exercise plan was to resistance train, and I succeeded! I walked five miles today just going back and forth to school and lunch, but then I hit the gym and began the slow terrifying process of trying to get arm muscle back. Tomorrow I need to hit legs.

    1. How are you eating today? (Good, Well, Not Enough, Poor, etc...)

    I'm torn between saying "well" and possibly "not enough." i freed up over 800 calories today from exercise, but I wasn't really hungry despite getting around 1,100 calories today. I drank a Slim fast after a work out that made me tired and had a quick thing to eat later in the evening.

    2. What is your Mood today?
    optimistic but exhausted.

    3. What was\is your exercise plan for today?

    MommyFit, day 1 of 30 Day Shred (level one), and only 35 minutes of Zumba

    1. How are you eating today? (Good, Well, Not Enough, Poor, etc...)

    I'm actually not eating enough today. I've been struggling for most of the week to meet my calorie goals because I've cut out bread as my carb of the week to cut out, it's made for some lovely low calorie lunches that fill me up and I enjoy, as well as space for a snack, but I've struggled to reach 1000 calories, I'm on 1200 a day, and trying to work to my sugar allowance and carb allowance as well.

    Today I've planned all my meals, and again it's very low, I've even earned extra calories from exercise today, by the end of the day that will be 700 calories worth.

    2. What is your Mood today?

    Happy! Just a bit freaked out that for once I'm struggling to eat enough lol!

    3. What was\is your exercise plan for today?

    Did 20 lengths of swimming this morning in 25 minutes, proud of myself for that as I've only swum twice before today in recent years, so I'm working on it! I was also quite tired.

    I walked to work today, bumping up the speed a little as I walk to work, instead of 20 minutes I managed to walk to work in 18, and back again. I do 2 shifts a day so walking back to work this afternoon.

    On the way to swimming, I always park in free parking spaces outside of town, so it means I walk 5 minutes or so to the sports center, it gives a nice little warm up and cool down after the exercise.
