I am taking it easy until the shin splint heals. I will take the long way to the restroom and breakroom at work. I will park the car far away. But no real exercise for me today.

I will continue to plan my meals and eat according to plan.

First of all thanks to WarriorPrincessDi and CurtnTrina for helping out with the threads the last couple days, apparently it will be better if I do the posts the prior evening as my mornings are quite hectic. So thanks gang, this weight loss thingy sure is better with friends who are a HUGE help, thanks!
So Tuesday 5/7, obviously everyone's lives are busy here in springtime, so keep focused on the goals you set, what do you wish to attain today, remember your doing this for yourself, family, and friends. So far everyone is doing fantastic, goals are being made or you're biting that lower lip and assuring yourself to not slip back into old habits and pushing yourself on!!! WAY TO GO, keep it up, push me too, as I slipped a little in determination the last couple days.

Whew, glad to know I am not the only one who struggles when life whizzes by... I have been so busy over the weekend, I have not been able to get on since last Thurday. I am here... I have not completely fallen off the bandwagon... In fact, Im still losing so I guess that is a good thing? Not sure how that is happening as I have not been able to track my diet...but perhaps I have fallen into a routine and have not needed to count every single calorie?? I know that I blew it Friday night...that is for sure.

Im really struggling trying to find time to work out. I have not done anything since last Thursday. It makes me feel like a loser... Seriously. yesterday I got up at 3:20 with the baby, then got ready for work and came in since I had been late recently. So I made it a point to leave extra early to get my butt to work. Then I left work, came home...was on baby duty until 7:30 since the hubs wasn't home. I then went got a massage and came home....was in bed by 10.... Literally, crazy schedule. Not that anyone wants to hear about my boring life.

It sure is refreshing to come back and see normal people with lives just like me, it puts my whole goal back in perspective. I promise I won't quit, but some days are excruciating hard!!!

I love this board...

My plan is to not over commit, because when I do and cannot meet my goals, it internally eats me up. I must allow myself with not working out 2 hours a day, with 3 kids and a career...how is that possible?

My goal today is the following-

During one of my breaks at work (ha ha) I will walk around the pond. 4 laps is a mile, I can do one mile in 15 minutes no problem. I will force myself to take one break no matter what.

When I get home, I will do a jog. Shin splint finally feeling better. I have not been to the running store, but have an older pair of running shoes that never gave me a problem. I just thought they were too big for me, lol.

My bonus will be to fit in a 30 minute exercise plan at home, such as part of P90, Pilates, Brazil Butt Lift or anything else I have purchased and never completed lol.

No problem what-so-ever; many hands make light work I believe is how the saying goes

My commitment today is to walk with a friend after work, and as always try and improve my strength with some training at home afterwards.. If I am going to do good in the mud run in July, I have to work hard now!

No problem! Happy to help!

WarriorPrincessDi - I'm excited for you about the mud run! I want to do one some day but haven't signed up for one yet. Go you!

Tonight I will do the "home work" given to me by my personal trainer and cardio for 30 minutes. This should burn sufficient calories.

A bit discouraged about my progress. It is turtle slow. :frown: :embarassed:

First commitment completed!! I worked out this morning!
To help me meet my water goal for today, I made a jug of lemon, cucumber and ginger water. It turned our super good and should last throughout the day. Sometimes I need a bit of something in my water.
I will walk on lunch break and walk and bike Ride tonight!

Hi Everyone,
My goals today:
- Gym for 20 minutes on Elliptical
- Take supplements which aid in fat-burning (Green Coffee extract, CLA, B-12 & B-6).
- Maintain focus on health and eating right.
- Stay below 1800 net calories today. (have been averaging 2000 net calories per day for several weeks - so 1800 would be an improvement and the thought of it doesn't make me anxious).

Walked 3 miles this morning despite the threat of rain (it was actually nice and cool) and came home and did 30DS. It was hard today. I really should do the shred before any other exercise, not after. Live and learn.

Today, I commit to figuring out something healthy to make for dinner (and going to the grocery store). I think I'll roast some cauliflower (my family loves that) and ... oh, I don't know. I need inspiration! After being the household cook for over 15 years, it's gets old, you know!

Excercise is never a problem for me, I feel bad if I dont get it in and feel great if I do.
My troubles are my eating habits, they are horrible! So anytime I have a commitment it will have to do with food.

My commitment for today will be to not go over my calorie goal.
I burned 600 calories today + 1200. 1800 calories should be more than enough!

I walked twice today: 65 minutes and 3.3 miles the first time, then 33 minutes with my husband for 1.85 miles.
