Day By Day Challenge-Part 3 (november)

Goals for 11/14--

WATER! (Once again!) No
Stay within my calories AND make wise food choices. So-so
Workout for a total of 60 minutes.--No

I am actually not feeling very well and so I just kind of took it easy today. My food choices were just okay but I haven't logged anything because my head is hurting and I don't want to look for stuff.
I am determined to get more water down today, though!

I hope to do better tomorrow. I really hope I feel better--I have a meeting I cannot miss on Tuesday and I leave for Phoenix on Saturday--I cannot be sick!

If I am feeling better in the morning my goals are:

WATER!!!!
Exercise for 60 minutes.
Stay within my calories AND log all my foods.

So goals for this weekend.
1. Go to the outlet mall to get hubby some new jeans.
2. water water water even though I'm going to be out and about most of the day on Sat I can still drink water. Its usually free since I'm not a fan of bottled water. I like my tap water
3. Clean house(even though I'm already working on that right now it will probably take all weekend)
4. Hang pictures that have been sitting around taking up space on the tables when they should be taking up wall space.
5. Get some christmas shopping done when at the outlet mall.
6. Shop around for some new paint for the house. I'm tired of the flat white that is everywhere but the kitchen and the kids rooms. Going to go with a grayish color for the main color and a dusky blue for accent.

1. DONE
2. FAIL(at least I didn't get enough in but I did drink some)
3. DONE(but gotta sweep the new area rug again already)
4. FAIL
5. DONE
6. FAIL

So I was 50/50 this weekend. It could've been worse. It was kinda icky out on Sat when we went to the outlet mall but I was glad we did!! WE bought my husband 9 pairs of pants and 2 pair for my son and it was less then $100 for it all!! They had pants on sale for less than $10 a pair.

Now goals for today.
1. Sweep the rug again..
2. WATER!!!
3. Clean up everything from dinner last night. Just wasn't feeling it last night so just kinda left it sitting in a pile by the sink.

Now off to catch up on what all you guys have been up too this weekend:)......And now that I've read it thru. You all look like you've been doing really well!!.

Nicole, You'll do fine on your exam you always seem to anyways:) But I know how college goes stress over it until its done and then find out you did better then you thought you would've! hehe

CHoc, Leela noticed that you've worked out every day so far this month! WOW!! That is a inspiriation for me to get up off my lazy butt and do something! Keep up the great work!!!

Leela, I wish I could do the pre-planned meal thing like you do most of the time, but my food budget doesn't allow for me to have much that is just for me. My hubby isn't big on eating salads alot even though he knows they are healthy.

Jess, Hope you had a good day on Sunday. I don't know if I could take a day off even if it was just to reset the days. I rely on all of you too much to keep me going!

Nam, Hope you figure out what your going to do with your foot soon. I have a friend who needs surgery on her foot right now too and she's scared because she's never gone under general ansthesia before. But she isn't getting much choice in doing so because she's in constant pain and in a walking cast.

If I missed someone I'm sorry. But that's what I could remember from going to back to read thru:) Have a good day everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Well Its after 3pm right now and I've gotten everything I planned on doing done today:) New tires on my car YAY!!!!! Ordered the dress for my sis-in-laws wedding. Its a beautiful dress and even when I lose the weight I know a woman who will be able to alter it for me so its not a waste of money Went for a walk this morning with my friend and an extra Our other friend has gotten inspired by us and asked if she could join us. It was a good walk and we had lunch together afterwards. Then my friends little boy who is 6 months old started throwing up and of course I was the one holding him. My pants now smell like sweet potatoes and apples. But I'm just hoping he gets better soon. He's got Bronchitis as his mom found out this afternoon. Poor guy is in for a horrible next couple of weeks while she tries to keep him from throwing up so much.

So goals for Wed
1. WATER
2. Laundry
3. Make healthy choices all day for food and fight the cravings for so much chocolate.

Hope you have a good evening! I'm off to get more stuff done around this house:bigsmile:

Tuesday:
1. Water water water - in court all day so usually bad with this must do better tomorrow.
2. Sensible lunch choice tomorrow. Usually the selection is so bad so try and take something from home.
3. Do a workout of some description in the evening.

I've basically failed on all three today and feel very disappointed in myself. Court was so ridiculous today I didn't have time for a glass of water let alone any lunch. I was at Court near my mum's so I went there this evening for dinner and consequently didn't make it back home in time to get to the gym - well actually I guess I did since it is open until 11pm (and it's 9.30pm) but I am so exhausted I'm going to crash out otherwise I'll be a write off tomorrow as well.

Must do better on Wednesday:
1. Water at least 10 cups to make up for today and NO EXCUSES.
2. Do some exercise of some description but try not to overdo it on the foot.
3. Million and one things to do at work by 12.30pm when I have to leave to for a meeting all afternoon. Write a list in the morning and work through as much as possible by then. Don't stress on the stuff not done and delegate where possible!

Happy bump day for tomorrow (Jess is that what it's called?!) I know we had this conversation before but not sure if I remembered it right!
