I guess technically this goes here:
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, all but my sodium (curse left-over Korean food!) once again. I was well below my cals since I hiked/walked for 2+ hours.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Sort of, but I'm happy with it. We only managed to hike 3.2mi since that's when the trail ended, so we drove down to the lake afterward and added another 3mi along the water. I wasn't sure how much I actually burned on those walks so i just didn't eat any of my exercise cals! I also only had grapes after work, which was pretty good for me!
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I was active with my boyfriend, which I absolutely loved. There is plenty more of that to come
What would I have done differently? I would have liked to drink more water, but its hard to leave work to use the washrooms so sometimes I have to be mindful of how much I drink...
What is today's personal goals? Long and slow run, 4 miles. My calves and hips are hurting but I'm going to take it easy and hopefully I'll make it with a decent time! Anything under 45 mins and I will be very happy.
exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) - 6/7 - very happy with my progress here. I am totally loving being active every day.
Sorry I thought we started a new thread on Mondays! Hope to have good new tomorrow when I weigh-in!

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No, this time I was just 75 over!
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Did it!
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? C25K and stayed really close to my calorie goal even with going to a luncheon wedding shower, having the whole family for dinner, enjoying appetizers, elk steak (surprisingly good) and a few glasses of wine)
What would I have done differently? 1 less glass of wine would have kept me in the allowable range!
What is today's personal goals? Enjoy a relaxing Sunday that includes a long, slow & easy walk

I am really hating myself this morning!:explode: As usual, I totally screwed up over the weekend! So I gained like 3 lbs. in 3 days! What really gets me is that I was really feeling good about my accomplishments last week. I was staying within my calories. I exercised everyday except Thurs & Sun. And I had even proved to myself that I could run by running 1 mile two different days. And then I have to go throw it all away. I know that today is a new day and I can get on track, but I am so sick of this pattern. It happens every single weekend. Even when I try to plan for obstacles...I cave. On my signature I have set weightloss goals & thanks to this weekend I won't even reach my 1st one. I am really feeling like a huge failure and hopeless
. I am sorry to be a downer this morning, but I just had to get it out. 0 -

So sorry Nlongnecker! :ohwell: I was in that pattern myself. You will be ready to buckle down soon and when you are, watch out!! It will work for you!! I had done well for a while and then I got tired of it. Really did not get back into the proper routine since June. Now I am back on track for two weeks and I hope to continue for these last few pounds! You WILL get there, Just keep at your healthy habits!! No matter what you are better off working at it even if ever so slowly than not!! :flowerforyou:0 -

What is today's personal goals? Make better choices
exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) - 1/7 days of exercise (Sunday-30 day shred)
I had a really bad morning I gained 1 lb since last Monday's weight-in. My choices this weekend really hurt me. I actually spent the morning crying because I tried on every pair of pants I own and hated all of them. I had a baby 7 months ago and honestly thought I'd be in better shape by now. I haven't bought any clothes because I refuse to accept being a size larger. I don't know why I do this to myself Hope everyone else had a better weigh-in than me 0 -

I posted before I read yours I feel exactly the same way. From Monday to Friday I was down 1 lb then by today I gained that lb back plus one I screw myself every weekend. I was actually in tears this morning. I think I'm going to stop counting my calories, but make some serious life changes. I love a beer every now and again, but i need to realize I don't need to have one just because it's Friday. I don't need french fries, have a side salad. I don't need a sandwich every day for lunch, soup works just fine and has the a lot less calories. I just need to make better choices. Exercise is a must for me and I need to finally realize that. I MUST work out 6 days a week.
I'm sorry you are struggling too. I hope we can both figure out together how to make better decisions. Let's start this week out right and report to each other next Monday that we made good choices all weekend !!!0 -

Nlongenecker - I totally get where you are coming from! it can be so frustrating when you feel like you're letting yourself down and not sticking with your commitments. Weight loss is 75% mental and 25% actually getting it done, IMO and when you feel like you don't have any control it can be really overwhelming. But don't let your slip-up on the weekend cloud your accomplishments throughout the week - Running 1 mile is an amazing accomplishment. Running that far and pushing through when your body is telling you to slow down is a testament to your will power and strength, so don't get yourself down! Remember: this is a marathon, not a sprint and changing your relationship to food and exercise takes longer than 1 weekend, so if you screw up once in a while and eat too much, it's OK! Today is a new day and you're going to do great

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, although I didn't make the healthiest choices I did a good job for being out of town all day!
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes! And I am so happy about I ran 4 miles in 43:13, so 1:45 less than I was aiming for. It was a really hard run but I persevere and it felt great to finish! My hips and knees ended up hurting less once I started jogging but I am mega sore today. It's a good sore, though, right?
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? My run! And I managed to stay under my cals even though I had to grab some fast food. Not too bad
What would I have done differently? Drink more water, as always. Otherwise I did alright. Every day can't be perfect
What is today's personal goals? Try to eat healthy but allow myself some room for treats, since I lost 1.5lbs this week and I feel great. Today is my stretch + strengthen so I am hoping to do 30 mins of stretch and 30 mins of light toning with dumbbells. Nothing too strenuous. If the weather holds out, I'll go on a slowish walk tonight.

exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) - 3/7 days of exercise0 -
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes although I ate just about every single exercise calorie I earned At least I know I burned them!
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yep. Ran 3.36 miles. Not the fastest time or the greatest run, but it happened and I forced myself to finish either way. Hopefully I'll feel better on Thurs.
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I pushed through even when I wanted to stop. I also managed to curb myself from overeating at dinner. Unfortunately I snacked at night, but I measured and only had 90 cals with my coffee. Moderation.
What would I have done differently? I wish I could stop snacking so much - nighttime is particularly hard. I know that if I were to just go to bed I'd forget about it, but I stay up late and I am always wanting to grab something! Definitely need to work on that.
What is today's personal goals? I'm doing some major cooking today, making curried lentil soup for the folks to have after work, and preparing Kimchi from scratch to make some stew next week Tonight is my 3 month anniversary so the BF and I are going into the city (Toronto) to spend the evening - hoping to not binge on anything, and do lots and lots of walking. Wish me luck!
