  • I've been really bad this weekend......

    I pride myself on being a person with zero drama in their life. But this weekend the drama was thrown upon me. I really need to find some better coping mechanisms than food and cigarettes.

    11/1 Goals
    1.) water water water
    2.) get out of this funk and if I do stay in because things continue to go wrong-don't eat about it.
    3.) clean the nasty house as soon as I get home.
    4.) go to bed early!!!!!

    Good morning! Thanks for starting the new thread luvbnamom!

    Kinda failed yesterday at going to the gym. Again. But I did start my laundry, get some work done and drink a lot of water! So 3/4 isn't bad.

    Today:
    1. Fruits and veggies!
    2. Log all food.
    3. Gym!
    4. Drop off this paperwork that's been in my bag for a month or so.

  • New to this thread, but I'm guessing you are all posting goals for just a single day? Right now my goal is pretty simple--I just need to log my food every day! LOL

    Welcome to the Newbies to this thread:flowerforyou: We're pretty close on here but always ready to welcome new people into the fold.

    I will say that I failed over the weekend but that is because we just didn't have the money to get everything we need to do what I wanted to do. We did however go out on Sat and walk all over the place pricing it out and see what we could find out there for trim. The trim we have in our house is no longer a style that is made:angry: So we are going to a salvage place that only charges $1 a piece for trim no matter what length it is. :happy: They had some pretty nice stuff just none of ours.

    So goals for today
    1. Water
    2. Go to salvage and find some trim to replace all the trim in the house:grumble: don't really want to do it throughout the whole house but gotta do what we gotta do...:ohwell:
    3. Make a healthy choice since I'm going to be going to mcdonald's for lunch. Daughter got enough coupons last night trick or treating for a whole meal for free there. So really I can't argue about going there and she wants to go.

    Hope you all have a good day!! I'm gonna go check out what all went on over the weekend on the other thread:smile:
  • Welcome to the new peeps!!!!! This thread is very good for me.

    Hello to all the new lovelies. Thanks for checking us out. PSU originally started this process for herself and luv, ravyn, sim, nam and myself have been staying accountable to ourselves and each other for the past 2 months now. Welcome aboard. Feel free to tell us a little about yourselves. Don't beat yourself up if you can't come on everyday. Usually, esp for the weekend, we may post goals for the next 2 or 3 days. The important part is to make sure you stop back to tell us if you made your daily goal or not.

    Jess, thanks for starting the new board. I sent you a pm earlier. I hope you're doing better.

    Sorry Namita, I had to go back and edit my posts, forgot to shout you out as one of the original members of this board. How could I ever forget such a beautiful smile?

    I decided to move my goal over from the last month's board.

    Monday 11-1-10
    1. put the chili in the crock pot early so it will be ready by dinner.
    2. workout after my daughter gets off to school.
    3. do abs and push ups first thing in the morning...no excuses
    4. water, water and more water.

    non-fitness goals:
    1. working on the laundry now, finish it up by tomorrow if its not done tonight.
    2. mop the kitchen
    3. vacuum the floor
    4. take back just dance to the video store.

    So while I'm on I might as well do a quick review.
    1. I forgot all about the chili, going to start it right now. The other 3 fitness goals are done! woohoo
    The laundry is done, I took the video back to the store. I still need to mop and vacuum. I'm trying to stall around like luv and maybe hubby will give in and do it...lol No, I'll get it done today.

    Evening all and welcome to the new additions!!

    Thanks Jess for getting us up and running for November. Hope you're doing ok after your tough time.

    Ravyn did you ever get the water back on?

    Nicole hope your exams went well. Will keep fingers crossed for you.

    Leela how's the water going?

    Can't quite remember my goals from the last thread - will have to go back and take a look. Was pretty well behaved this weekend. No training on Saturday but went to Body Attack and Total Body Workout yesterday but was rubbish on the water front.

    It's a bit late in the day to post today's goals. Went training this morning before work and generally been good on cals but again rubbish on water.

    Tuesdays goals...
    1. Water water water.
    2. Go training before work and to Body Combat after work.
    3. Working at home all day so don't turn the tv on and get through all the work I have brought home with me.

    Have a great day!

    So goals for today
    1. Water
    2. Go to salvage and find some trim to replace all the trim in the house:grumble: don't really want to do it throughout the whole house but gotta do what we gotta do...:ohwell:
    3. Make a healthy choice since I'm going to be going to mcdonald's for lunch. Daughter got enough coupons last night trick or treating for a whole meal for free there. So really I can't argue about going there and she wants to go.

    Did pretty good today:) Was rather thirsty this morning and finished off all the water I needed to drink for the day and then just kept right on with it. Haven't completely cut out soda but its my caffine for the day and I don't need the migraines that come with me not having it.

    Nam, Yes the water got turned back on same day. Was only out for an hour.

    Goals for tomorrow
    1. Water:)
    2. Walk the riverwalk or around the mall depending on how cold it is in the morning.
    3. Make healthy food choices all day:)
    4. VOTE!!

    Getting ready to go to bed for the night. I will talk to you all tomorrow. Night!
  • Hi,

    I'm new to this thread as well but I love the idea of it.

    So here goes:

    1. Go to the gym after work
    2. Make tomorrow's lunch before i go to bed tonight
    3. Don't give in to left over halloween goodies
    4.Stay under the days calorie allowance.

    Hi,

    I hadn't appreciated how close you all were. Thanks for making me feel so welcome.:smile:

    Yesterdays goals were half and half, I went the gym for Body balance then swimming. I did finish under my calorie goal but I did succumb to the Halloween goodies. :blushing: On the upside where as in the past (cough Sunday cough) I might have gone crazy, this time I just had one small piece of chocolate after dinner and after I had worked out all my calories. I also didn’t make lunch before I went to bed, but I did make it quickly before heading out this morning.

    A bit about myself before I set today goals. I’m 28 and I live in UK, & since I left university my weight has just been creeping up year after year. I work in admin job during the day while I try to write and illustrate my first picture book in my spare time. It means a lot of time spent sitting still and guilt when I’m not working on the book but guilt when I am because I’m not fixing the house or working out.:ohwell:

    My best friend is getting married next year (she uses the i-phone app for this site and recommended it to me), and it’s finally given me the deadline I always needed to get off my butt and actually do something.:happy:

    Today’s goals:
    1. Not to eat my lunch before 12
    2. Go to Body Combat tonight, even though it scares me a little
    3. Spend 30mins working on the house
    4. Drink more water

    Morning all! I'm working at home today so thought I would take a five min break and jump on here to say hi!

    Frub it looks like we do some of the same classes! Do you go to a David Lloyd club? The put on all the les mills classes like body combat and body attack and balance etc. I have to say I really love them and they give such a high calorie burn! Go to combat today if you can - you won't regret it and will want to go to every one your gym puts on!

    To all the newbies stick with us!! It's so good when you are accountable and can report back when you achieve your goals and on the days when you don't you get all the support from this thread you need!

    I went training this morning but was aching so badly from yesterday. My trainer had me doing a full on kettle bell work out and I am aching in muscles I didn't know existed! We did a lot of stretching and conditioning today so feel a bit better. Was really hoping to make it to the express body combat class tonight so fingers crossed I don't stiffen up too much in the day and can make it.

    Haven't turned the tv on...yet and am cracking on with my work so need to keep the momentum going!

    Hope you all have a great day! :flowerforyou:

  • I've been really bad this weekend......

    I pride myself on being a person with zero drama in their life. But this weekend the drama was thrown upon me. I really need to find some better coping mechanisms than food and cigarettes.

    11/1 Goals
    1.) water water water-*** did great on my water.
    2.) get out of this funk and if I do stay in because things continue to go wrong-don't eat about it.** didn't do great eating but I logged it all. I am finally out of the funk today!!!
    3.) clean the nasty house as soon as I get home.*** cleaned a little bit and realized that I was going to be off today, so I am finishing up today.
    4.) go to bed early!!!!!*** yay!!!



    Well I am so glad to have so many new people. And realized I should share-again.....
    My Name is Jess, I live in WV-and no it's not like the movie "deliverance" -I promise!! lolol
    I have 2 children, a 6 year old daughter and a son that will be 3 this month. They are my life. My husband is awesome. Supports me and spoils the crap out of me. Cooks, cleans, and is romantic. We've been married for almost 4 years. Love him.
    My weight is from 2 babies and laziness. Also an extreme love for food and self medication with it as well. I LOVE healthy food, and that's what we as a family have always eaten for meals. but in between we always ate junk or some dinners would be fried, everything. lol. Anyhow, we are all here to help each other everyday. To listen, to give advice and to cheer for one another. Welcome aboard!!

    Goals for 11/2:

    1.) water!!
    2.) House Clean
    3.) Cook a very healthy dinner- I am off of work today so it shouldn't be an issue.
    4.) stay in a positive mood. I cannot change what others do to me, but I can change the way I react to it.
  • So I pretty much failed on my goals yesterday :o( I drank 1 bottle of water and went to the grocery store. Also, I did not make it to the gym this morning. Trying again today...

    Today is definately a new day!!! No better time to try again.

    Hi I'm Stephanie (Steph, Stephie). Living in Virginia. No hubby, no kids...but I'm working on changing myself before adding all of that in the mix. Still...that is definitely the direction I want to go in. I have been overweight all of my life, and I would just like to be comfortable in my own skin. I really have no idea what weight would even look good and healthy on me. I'm on my way to finding that out and so love myfitnesspal. I am taking it one day at a time...one pound at a time. I've joined a group to challenge myself to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving though. I hope I can acheive that. Especially since I will be visiting family and the holidays are always a tough time to lose weight. With all the temptations I'm hoping I can focus on doing for me and my goals.

    Today:
    1. Fruits and veggies! Win!
    2. Log all food. Fail (Logged all my meals then not my snacking)
    3. Gym! WIN!!!! So proud of this! Haven't been to the gym in far too long.
    4. Drop off this paperwork that's been in my bag for a month or so. Fail!

    Hello everyone!!

    Welcome to all the newbies and thanks for sharing Steph. Luvbnamom I think it's a great idea for us to recap so here is some short info about me... I'm Nicole and I obviously go to Penn State. I've gained way too much weight since I started school here which is why I joined this board. I'm super involved on campus and love every minute of it and I work at Hersheypark which I love as well.

    O and thanks Namita! Some went well some not so much. But I should be able to make up for the ones that didn't go so well. Not sure about my hopes for a 4.0 though.

    Ok so... goals for today!

    1. Log my calories.
    2. Fruits, veggies, water!
    3. No late night snacking-- not only do I eat way too much but my stupid acid reflux is back and it makes me sick in the morning.

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    Nicole
  • Nice one on the kettle bell work out Nam, I hear that's a fantastic work out.
    Frub it looks like we do some of the same classes! Do you go to a David Lloyd club? The put on all the les mills classes like body combat and body attack and balance etc. I have to say I really love them and they give such a high calorie burn! Go to combat today if you can - you won't regret it and will want to go to every one your gym puts on!

    The local University just built itself a new sports complex that I've joined. I used to go to classes at a leisure centre where the whole pace of it was generally a little more relaxed. I tried their body combat classes and really enjoyed them but every one at the new place seems to be fit already. I love balance it’s a real treat and definitely helps keep you sane!

    Right, now off to body combat.... ...eek!
