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!!
Well the day is only a a little over half done and so far so good!! Got the walk in(at the mall) but it was a short one because my daughter started getting sick while we were walking around. SO she is taking a nap right now. Hope she gets to feeling better soon. I got my vote in this morning when I dropped my son off at school this morning. So far I've had pretty healthy food choices but I ate more than I should've. I haven't eaten lunch though because of the time I had breakfast. Don't know what's going to be going on for dinner tonight but I'll be sure to make healthy choices for that. I've been doing pretty good on the water. I finshed a bottle of it so far and will be working on the other one here soon which will put me just a little over.
So here's a recap of myself for the newbies:happy: My name is Beth, though I don't mind if you call me Ravyn. Online I answer to both :laugh: I have 2 kids, my son who is 7(8 in Dec) and my daughter who is 4(5 in Dec). They are not the reason I have put on all of my weight. I have hypothyroidism and am still struggling to get that under control. I decided that I would get my lifestyle under control in the mean time. So I joined MFP because a friend of mine was using it. The connection to FB has kept the people who see me in everyday life involved and they have been giving me support too. I love our little group on this challenge. They have been very good about keeping me in check and for the first time since I've started in on this I feel great about what I'm doing. It doesn't feel so much like a chore. I know with the holiday's coming we will all have our difficulties gettting thru but I'm going to make a promise to myself that I will not deprive myself, I will have the things I love this holiday season and not go overboard on it. :bigsmile:
Well i'm off to check on my daughter and make sure she is doing ok. Then off to get my son from school. I'll be back on later tonight to post goals for tomorrow. Have a great rest of the day everyone!0 -
The chili is smelling good!
Just a little about me. I'm Leela and I have been on mfp since May. I have been overweight for more than half my life. I have a wonderful husband and a wonderful daughter. They are both my inspiration. The company I worked for went under in August, so now I have all this free time to get my life back in order and getting in shape is one of the top priorities. So it's like a blessing in disguise. I am recovering from knee surgery from March, but now I have full clearance to workout (except for spinning, I'll have to wait until next March to spin again). I vow this to be the last year that my new year's resolutions including getting in shape.

Well that's it for me tomorrow. At least I think that's it. Who really knows what is going to go on all day. Just know that according to the forcast that tomorrow might be one of the last days I can get a walk in along the riverwalk but only if I go in the afternoon and I've got so much to get done that I don't know if I can get it all done and do that walk. But I'm gonna try to get at least one more walk in before the :grumble: :noway: *whispering* snow flies. :sad: It's in the forecast already so who knows but eww.

So just to check in I've already got most of what I needed to get done done today:) I have to wait to call to make a dr appt for my daughter but they are at lunch right now and the whole office has lunch at the same time. I just can't believe I've gotten so much done already today. Still gotta work on those floors and the laundry but I'm gonna figure out what else to do after that.
Well I'm off to do the floors. Now that you're done here go get some water!!0 -
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.
Just briefly checking in now but will post properly later. Goals one and two done but very sore back after combat. Got quite q bit of work done but kept getting interrupted so could have done better.
Today's goals...
1. Rest so I can give my aching muscles a break.
2. Try not to roar at too many people at work. Everyone has been making mistakes today and it's really irritating me.
3. Get to bed early.
4. Deep breathing to keep stress levels down!
Will pop back on later. Hope you're all having a great day!0 -
What a wonderful thread. I'm still reading over post but i love what i've read thus far. We often get so consumed with our healthy lifestyle that we forget about living our day to day lives so I absolutely love it.
A little about me: I am a 37 year old, single female with no children who currently resides in the state of Georgia. My highest weight was 152 lbs and my lowest has been 122 lbs. I joined MFP last November (this Friday is my 1 year anniversary) when I began seeing my weight creep back up (136 lbs). Since joining I have been really diligent about logging on and exercising. While my eating habits have improved dramatically there's still a lot to be learned. Although I have no children I live a very busy/active lifestyle so am constantly on the go. I absolutely hate cooking which can be very problematic when trying to improve your eating habits. I participate in quite a few challenges and find they really keep me motivated and accountable.
Goals for today:
1. Iron work clothes for tomorrow
2. Do some online research re: best friend's wedding
3. Follow up w/event coordinator for cousin's b-day party
4. Fold all the clothes on top of the dryer
Goals for tomorrow:
1. Workout 1st thing in the a.m.
2. Prepare healthy snacks before heading to unit meeting
3. Do not eat any halloween candy during the unit meeting0 -

Hi nam14uk! Do you usually go to Body Combat? I see that at my local Gold's Gym and was thinking of trying it out. How do you like it?0 -
things are going well today. first zumba class down, headed to the next class in a few hours. I'll be on later. Leela.0

OK so I'm home, fed and slightly less stressed (even though I know I should still be working but I've had enough for today).
A little about me... I'm Namita or Nam (don't mind which), 30 years young, live and work in London England, lawyer and soon to be slim and have a six pack!! :laugh: Well that's the goal anyway! I joined mfp 14 Aug 2010 and haven't looked back! This site and all my lovely friends on here and these threads have kept me going and so motivated. Today though I'm having a bad day but I know tomorrow is a new day and all will be rosy in the world again!!
Frub so glad you went to Combat! There is a class on tomorrow night but it means having to leave work early to get to it so not sure I will make it.
Happiness you absolutely have to go to body combat! I first started going about a month ago and I can't tell you enough how much of a difference it has made. YOU HAVE TO GO!!!!! It is such great fun and high calorie burn workout.
I love how we are all introducing ourselves or re-introducing ourselves so we can get to know each other better!
Chocolickkyss - welcome! Glad you joined us! I'm with you on the whole hating cooking. It is really not my thing but I have been making more of an effort of late. I cooked up a mean strifry just now which worked out to 346 cals so feeling quite proud of myself!
Jess/Ravyn you definitely have gutter minds!! So Fitbot what was the answer?!! :laugh:
Leela hope your headaches are easing off and you're back in action soon. I didn't know about your knee surgery. You've done so well to get back to training doing everything (except spinning) so quickly.
Platoon - 100 squats?!!! That's incredible!! Do you do it all in one go or take breaks and do it in sets?
Nicole great job on getting to the gym! I love it most when the work out is over although people watching whilst there is also quite entertaiing!
Right enough of my ramblings. A bit of tv and then bed for me. See you all tomorrow!0 -

SO most of the goals got done today. Got so busy with the cleaning I forgot to call and set up an appt for my daughter. Oh well I can do that tomorrow then.
So for tomorrow (Thusrday)
1. Make that Appt.
2. Go to my appt and make sure I show up early like I have to. New doc for me..
3. Water
4. Make a healthy choice for lunch. I'll be at my parents house and my mom and dad don't always make healthy choices. They kinda taught me my bad habits hehe. My hubby has been teaching me how to be healthy:)
Well that should do it for me. I'm off to watch some TV before I go to bed. Have a good evening everyone.0 -
Fail on the eating healthy goals. BUT I did make it to the gym AND I got my butt on the treadmill. I have always been so scared of that darn piece of equipment because I am not a runner. Not at all. I huff and puff and get side stitches. I've always been afraid I'd fall off or look stupid. But I really want to run a 5k ... and especially the THON 5k next fall. So I did it. And boy did I look awkward at first... couldn't get on rhythm but then I got it and it was ok! So yay!
I"ll be on to catch up on all the posts tomorrow!

The headaches are gone, for now. May have been a combination of things, hope they're gone for good. Nam, Thanks for asking! Beth, it could have been the lack of caffeine too, I have been really cutting down since I started drinking more water.
