    I never do posts like this, so might as well~

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? -- I... uh, no. I always go over sugar. Granted, a lot of it is fruit sugar. But today it's the fault of time-of-the-month chocolate cravings.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? -- I'm not sure I had one yesterday.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? -- Ate a salad for dinner instead of chocolate (see question one, lmao).
    What would I have done differently? -- I would add more variety to my salad.
    What is today's personal goals? -- Eat up to 1200 calories hopefully, and have an awesome dinner.

    Just perused your posts since last I posted. I have been in a bit of a funk this week. I gained a few pounds at the family party last weekend despite not going over my calorie goal that day. I have slowly gotten it off this week. I have logged and eaten ok but having a hard time meeting my exercise goals this week. Doing better with the making healthy meals at home at least. I am not sure if the funk is from the interruption of my routine last week when I had to decide about the other job or that the process of assessing my employment situation lead to some disatisfaction with my situation even though I decided to stay put. Maybe I just was fighting a cough and didn't feel like taking cold walks? I just wanted to go to cafe's after work and drink lattes and read books or write in my journal. Anyway I am starting to get back to exercising for my hour a day.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes except need to up the water again
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Finally went for a long fast walk with my husband.
    What would I have done differently? drink more water
    What is today's personal goals? exercise 6 days a week, healthy food, water

    GW at the end of the Fall get as close to 200 as possible

    Sun-

    Sat - Aquafit - 65 minutes

    I am fighting some congestion. Probably due to irritation from some acid reflux mixed with some on-going morning allergy issues. I think this was probably why cold walks just didn't sound good to me last week.

    Hi y'all.
    Keria -- I know what you mean about the congestion... I'm having that, too. Good on getting those few pounds off from last weekend.

    I weighed in today -- thought I had gained 10 pounds while I was out of town for the last 10 days... but turned out that I only gained 3. Whew! I hope that I can get it back off, soon.

    I started out doing so well on this long road trip, but ended up doing very poorly. I got some exercise in the form of long walks. Mall of America and Nicollet Mall skyways in Minneapolis... also some walking in St. Louis Park and in St. Cloud, MN.

    Oct. 27 - Sunday (my birthday -- ate out to celebrate & was unable to exercise, today)
    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no

    I'm back ... I'm afraid to get on the scale, waiting until next Wednesday when I am going back to Nutrition Weight and Wellness for another weightloss class - hopefully I won't be bored taking it for the FOURTH time. The first 2 times I lost 15 pounds each class for 16 classes (so just under a pound a week) - so I was very happy with that. Last year when I took it - I stayed the same weight - but it was at this same time of year so maintaining through the holidays wasn't all bad. But this year I really need to do more than maintain because I'm up 10+ pounds from my lowest weight from 2 years ago.
    Unfortunately, knowing that I'm starting the class next week is making me go overboard on eating bad things ... I've got that 'last supper' syndrome. So I'm going to start tracking today to try to get some control over what I'm eating before I start the my nutrition class.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? didn't log, just getting back into it today
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? no
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? step class
    What is today's personal goals? check in, track everything, zumba class
