    What are today's personal goals? Stay on track for calories, push the water and exercise

    My ticker went up instead of down on my official weigh in day :sad: I know I went over on my fat macro last week, ate back too many exercise calories and it also might be water from stress that is causing muscle tightness. I will watch my fat macro, be less liberal with the exercise calories, and hit my husband up for some neck massages :drinker:

    What a great idea! I have been on here 145+ days and often look at the messages but never saw this before.... :]

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, fairly. I probably need to set some nutritional goals LOL
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Food wise? I did well really considering we went to Olive Garden for our anniversary! Otherwise I did do a lot of cleaning I was planning to do! :)
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Only ate a quarter of my Olive Garden meal and gave the rest to the kids.
    What would I have done differently? Not sure - really didn't have time to do anything differently. Now that I have found my Wii remote (which was under the bed) I want to make a new goal of doing the Wii at least 2-3 times a week.
    What are today's personal goals? . Have already gone to work and fed dinner to myself and my son and did all right with that - would like to go work in my room again for a while cleaning it out.

    A spring goal weight was kind of set in January when I started this, to lose 10 pounds. I actually reached it by March even though I was only supposed to lose a half a pound a week per my calorie entry into MFP. Went from 191 - 181.

    GW at the end of the Summer 2013 check in? 160. I was 178 last weekend but for some reason have been 180 again.

    Sun - went swimming with family for 90 minutes (could explain the 2 pound gain - muscles screaming for two days! :\ )
    Mon - can't recall -- took daughter to drs. appt and think I worked cleaning my bedroom a little bit every night this week...
    Tues - my dentist appt., cleaned room.
    Wed - my work meeting, cleaned room.
    Thurs - cleaned room.
    Fri - worked one hour cleaning at my job for the senior ladies. plan to still clean in my room.
    Sat - probably walk somewhere with my boys.

    All school year I walk but now that it's summer I have trouble getting outside to walk (HATE the heat) . Happy I found the Wii so I can have some more solid plans now.
