Day by Day Challenge

I really love our little support group. I just got back from my walk and decided to pop in. Not to post goals, but to just comment. And bump us up :drinker:
After I post, I am going to go on mapquest and map the distance that I walked today. I don't have a pedometer. I used to have a little cheap one, but it counted everytime you shook it, so it wasn't very accurate.

Bee, I'm glad you were able to get your walk in. I also think its best to shred every other day too, although I know some people who are determined to do it everyday and finish the program in 30 days. Then by day 21, they stop for like 3 days in a row...
Glad your eating was good. I'm glad you had fun with your fam. You're right, not many good weekends left. We're expecting rain all this week...
I am trying to complete my laundry too. It's actually converting the wardrobe's from summer to fall/winter. Even though all the clothes were washed before getting packed away, they've been sitting for so long, so I had to rewash them. Most of the summer clothes are already clean, so its just a matter of packing them in the same box that I took the fall things out of.
Hopefully you'll able to catch up on all your chores.

Simone, I hope you are doing better than you were last week. You are such a fighter and I know that you will be just fine.

Nicole, homecooked meals can be your worst enemy. But it tastes soooo good going down. A two pound gain is nothing, it could have been much worse. So kiddos to you for that. Good luck on your test. I have been limiting myself to no more than 1 can of soda a day. Today, I think I will try not to drink any either.

Rayvn, don't you just love free entertainment! Lots of goals set for today, I hope you're able to get to it all. Seems like I'm not the only one with laundry on the list. Usually I try to do it all over the weekend, but it was much more than I could tackle. I will probably take a day off from working out on one of the days that I normally would work out. So exercising yesterday probably shocked my body a little. On the weekday that I choose not to exercise, I just have to make sure I keep my calories under.

I'll jump back on one more time tonight to see if I met all my goals and also to post for Tuesday.

Leela.

Goals for tomorrow 9/20

1. Staring a new schedule for Shred : Monday, Wednesday and Friday only
2. Walk 10,000 steps
3. Laundry, floor mopping, dusting - I have fallen a bit behind, it is actually bothering me.

Good luck all.

Knocking my Shred down to 3X per week was brilliant! I actually enjoyed it for the first time.
Walked almost 4 miles, way over 10000 steps plus another 1.5 miles after dinner with hubby.
Laundry done, mopping not yet.

Leela, I hope you don't get too much rain. Mind you, when I get stuck inside because of rain, my house suddenly becomes much cleaner.:laugh:

Ravyn, we were very lucky to get the opportunity to see this beautiful ship indeed. The wait to get on board, however was close to 5 hours! I don't know but I thought that was just a little ridiculous. I think we got just as good a view standing next to her.

Goals for Tuesday 9/21

1. VACUUM and MOP, seriously, this is getting silly. I know I hate it but it has to be done.
2.Walk over 10000 steps
3.Trying a new osso bucco recipe in the slow cooker, hope it turns out ok.

Good luck all:drinker:

Goals for today

1. Laundry
2. Dishes
3. Walk river walk
4. drink lots of water
5. stay under calories:)

1. started but not finished..
2. almost done just a few pans left and my back just couldn't take standing there anymore. I don't have a dishwahser, unless you count me:) hehe
3. I didn't walk the whole thing but I walked half of it.
4. done:)
5. I'm well under today and have been full without snacking a bunch. I had a banana this afternoon when I did get hungry between meals. Now I gotta get more bananas cause that was the last of them.

Tomorrow's Goals

1. Riverwalk with friend.
2. drink lots of water(I'm getting better about making sure to do this I'm getting closer to drinking what I'm supposed to be drinking)
3. take daughter's clothes to consignment shop. Hoping they give me something for them. Its all rather nice stuff and barely worn. If they don't then I'll be dropping them off to Goodwill. I just want them gone.


Well I'm off to bed. Be back on sometime tomorrow. Good luck to all of you keeping those goals going:)

I can't wait, my Zumba dvd box set has arrived so I am eager to try this out tomorrow!!!!!

Glad to hear you are feeling better and how exciting about the Zumba box set! Enjoy it and let us all know how you get on!

Goals for Tuesday 9/21

1. VACUUM and MOP, seriously, this is getting silly. I know I hate it but it has to be done.
2.Walk over 10000 steps
3.Trying a new osso bucco recipe in the slow cooker, hope it turns out ok.

Good luck all:drinker:

1. Done, finally!
2. Walked 14000 steps in two walks, :happy:
3. The Osso Bucco was amazing. The meal came to about 1200 calories however. But, since I had already entered my recipe ahead of time, I was able to cut back a bit during the day, and add an extra walk to compensate. Ended up well under my allotted calories for the day and over on my water.
So, the way I see it, it could have been much worse, and I was able to enjoy a fabulous meal with my family without any guilt.

Goals for Wednesday , 9/22

1. Shred
2.10000 steps walk
3.Reorganize as many closets as I can ( goal for the next few day)

1. I attempted to make a healthy choice, but it was still waaay too many calories over all.
2. I burned 670 calories in zumba, enough to offset lunch.
3. just finished the abs and push ups. Feels great.
4. I already drank a gallon of water by noon. Probably close to 2 gallons for the whole day.

Just wanted to jump on to bump us up and to let you know about my progress.
Oh, before I forget, hey Ms. Nicole, did you ace that exam? It seems you've been super busy lately, I hope you've been able to juggle it all and still take care of yourself.

so I made it to the gym this morning, 45 minutes...409 calories. Its out of the way and not I can get my day started. Morning abs done, and I've already had 24 ounces of water, so I'm off to a good start.

Goals for today

1. Riverwalk with friend
2. stay under calories
3. water water water

I need to add another one, probably the most important one.

Just stopped back on to take a peek at what I said my goals were for today. Hi everyone! ttyl

oh wow so glad to have seen this post, everyday is a challenge for me because i am addicted to PEPSI & Dr. PEPPER and each day I have to tell myself all day, No soda no soda. It's good because I don't keep soda in the house, but here on the base, and in my tower we have Pepsi, and CocaCola machines everywhere. So now what I'm doing is making a conscious effort not to carry any Yen (japanese money because we are stationed in japan) on me to beat the temptation. Some days I even walk alongside the outer parameter of the base just to avoid passing a busstop, the commissary, or a tower that have soda machines...I'm definitely gonna do my best with this one

Hi all, I wasn't able to come by yesterday, life happens sometimes:ohwell:
So back on the horse today.

I am one pound away from my first mini goal of 25 lbs lost.
As soon as I hit it , my next goal is 10 lbs by Halloween.
That's just a little under 2lbs a week, so I think it is very doable.

So goals for today:

1. Walk 10000 steps
2. Do not snack while out shopping, no matter how tempting those taster ladies are.
3. Get all my water in earlier. I've been slacking lately and find myself trying to finish my water at bedtime.
Guess what happens during the night, yup, up several time to wee:grumble:

Good luck all.
