    Thanks Coach Shawn

    Even though you say not to post till I worked out - I don't care. I joined this group to be accountable good or bad.

    No - I did not work out today.

    Breakfast - coffee, didn't get around to eating what I brought to work due to impromptu meetings.

    Lunch - got skipped due to work, huge giant mess, none of our fault, felt bad for the person who caused it, but spent 4 hours in the sun trying to get a semi out of a ditch of the plant next door (semi was supposed to go to us, good neighbors help out...)

    Dinner - fast food, a whole bunch of it, basically 1200 calories worth.

    Then I still volunteered with the dogs tonight, and now I'm going to bed.

    I'm annoyed at myself for not carrying sunscreen. My face is burnt.


    Health wise, not great. I could have done worse, knowing my old habits, but nothing like how I want to be.

    Dont beat yourself up over one day. We all have bad days. Tomorrow is a new day and always a fresh start. You can start tomorrow and try to do better. Try to keep improving. I love that you posted even though you had a tough day! That is ACCOUNTABILITY! Good for you! Keep checking in and keep trying! You can do this. One day one step at a time! We all can,

    Not great on the water today and I felt it at the gym. I worked out with the trainer today and by the end of the session, I kind of felt sick. Lesson learned!!! I did well with food. I logged everything!! Really loving this group!!!

    I know for a fact I did not get my water in... Today was an off day for me at work as I was at a different site and ran into a few issues. For breakfast I had yogurt n granola bar.... Lunch was a frozen entree... So starved when I got home, I ate a gluten free frozen burrito with homemade baked chips n salsa. I then decided to go grocery shopping so tomorrow can be better. Then I made a cherry vanilla almond smoothie... I guess I woofed that down pretty quick cuz I was freezing by the time I was done ! Took my vitamins n I'm gonna try n finish this bottle of water!! Goodnight all:wink:

    Today was a pretty good day; I could have done more with water though. I drank about 6 cups of water. Diet was better than yesterday. I went and did an hour of Zumba tonight and I also did 40 min of yoga this evening. Tomorrow is a yoga day, then Friday is Body Pump day....

    Sorry for my late post, I didn't do good Wednesday either. I forgot my healthy lunch at home, so I had to go out for lunch, and I don't do well yet eating out. So...needless to say I ate within my calories, however it took all my calories. So I didn't have any for dinner, and it was the hubby's b-day, and I was hungry, so I ate...way over my calories.. and I only managed to get 20 minutes of walking in due to all day meetings, and then a busy night for the birthday guy...so I'm bummed. I did get 96oz of water in...

    However- With encouragement from my fellow MFP buddies...I picked myself up, and today is a new day...so I'm really focused on aerobics today...planning on a two one-hour sessions...and then tonight will walk my usual three miles... I'm pumped for today!

    Sorry my post is late.

    I did a 45 minute cycle on the stationary bike. I burned about 250 cal.
    I was closer to my water goal yesterday. I should be drinking about 3.5 liters and yesterday I got in around 3.
    I did spluge on calories a little yesterday by having a breakfast toaster from sonic....I probably wont do that again. I also had an ice cream cone from McDonalds. I did manage to come under calories by having salad for dinner.

    I still felt a little guilty so I might not do that again.... I will probably stick to the ice coffee for breakfast.

    I did find a recipe for Iced coffee using Almond milk so I will try that next week......I spend about $2.13 a day buying iced coffee from McDs.
