Day 10 goals went well and were reasonably set for me.
Day 11: Today is going to be a challenge, It is our beer and pizza night.
So my goals are
1) to get in a killer workout and burn at least 500 calories
2) get the front yard picked up and raked and pull the dying plants from my garden to ready it for the winter crop. (this over the next 3 days)
3) Only eat the allotted amount of calories and not go over on sodium
4)Try my hardest to stay away from the beer.
5) If I feel l like I want a beer I will be drinking a cleanse drink.0 -

Hi all! I'm drowning right now. I have been in a conference all week - I have tried to keep my food log updated via mobile but I'm not able to access the forums and these check-ins that way. (Someone at MFP needs to fix that!) I'm finally back in front of a computer today and added my info to our log for the 10% check in. I LOVE that the spreadsheet tells us what % towards our short term goal we are - It felt great to be 14% of the way to my goal in the first 10% of our time. Thanks, balancedwalker, for putting together that great tracker.
The next 10 days will be hard for both food and exercise - we have guests in from Germany. It's their first time in the US, so we're trying to maximize their experience in Washington DC. We have a bunch of social events planned (food, food and more food) and I won't have my normal exercise time to myself. Our next weight check-in is right after they leave so in spite of the changes to my food and exercise routine I want to stay on track during their visit.
A huge part of staying on track is having this challenge and this great group of people. I love reading - when I can access the posts - about everyone's goals and progress.
Goals for today:
Do not overeat at tonight's Mexican food celebration (it's hard to get good Mexican/Tex-mex in Germany so we're having a big dinner party with a ton of food)
Get 10K steps, even if it means a walk after everyone has gone to bed
WATER!
Happy Friday!!0 -
Goals for the day is to walk, I haven't walked in 4 days due to surgery.. So today I am going to slowly incorporate walking into my day
I'm a little upset because Today I will be going over my sodium by over 1400 but tomorrow is a new day0 -
Day 10 goals were met. I am up to 80 oz. of water a day.
Goals for today:
Stay under my calorie count
Drink 80-90 oz. of water
Keep carbs under 100 grams0 -
Started my day with T25 Lower Focus. Not too bad but felt good. Staying within my calorie range and should be doing two more workouts tonight. My normal 4.5 mile walk with a short 20 min HIIT. Nothing like mountain climbers/burpees....two of my most hated exercises!
Happy Friday everyone!0 -
Hey libbeth_6212
I was just thinking you can access myfitnesspal.com through your web browser on your phone and not use the app. That way you can see this group and be able to post to the forums throughout the week even if you do not have a computer.0 -
Day 10 goals met. Took a 3 mile walk. And then had a goal of 15,000 steps. I did it but............. It was very hard. Have a blister on the side of my foot that will make walking pretty hard. So my goal for today is only 10,000 steps. Try to eat a little bit more as after all my exercise my net calories was under 900 calories.Just finding that some days I am having a hard time getting enough calories in. Drink my water too.0

I'm absolutely overwhelmed with my workload right now. That will be the case until late November, so I'm going to have to find a way to cope with it. In the meantime, I want to try to find a way to work in exercise at least three days a week. I'm viewing this challenge in blocks, since we are set up that way. My goal for this new block of 10 days is to carve time into my weekends for exercise, since I cant figure out how to do that M-Th right now. Also, I've been going really well with calories and logging, but want to improve the quality of my diet.
Goals for today:
1. Get some exercise
2. Stay out of the kitchen (I'm working from home so it'll be tempting to graze)
3. Keep up my logging, caloric goals, and water intake
4. Make dent on the work I need to do, rather than procrastinating, so that I don't increase my stress level...which invariably leads to excess calories intake for me0 -
Yesterday was a challenge on meeting the goals and thus fell short. We had really bad storms come through last night that threw all evening activities off. But I did go ahead and get strength training even though it wasn't a goal (and I missed it the prior day anyway).
Goals for Day 11
- Drink 80-90 oz of water
- Stay under calorie goal
- Go for 3 mile walk this evening
Let's keep pushing through this challenge!!0 -
Yesterday I was a bit disappointed at my weigh in (up 1.4 lbs) but also realized all the possible contributors: I ate a lot of sodium this weekend and drank/went over on calories, I haven't been doing a great job with my water intake, and I had returned to the gym for the first time after being sick the day before. All-in-all, considering how my body loves to hoard water, I thought it would be worse!
Today my goals are as follows:
- Going to the library to avoid procrastinating on paperwork, which will keep my stress levels down over the weekend/next week (Already done...typing this from the library on break and paperwork is all set)
- Go for a bike ride at the gym
- Continue reading the books I got recently. Currently reading one about the social, economic, and health implications of tallness. A quick but interesting read on a topic close to me as a tallette that I've never really seen written about before.
- Make dinner at home tonight - probably going to do veggie burritos. Need to stop and grab some fresh veggies to throw in with the veggie crumbles.
- Drink at least 8c water. When I'm drinking enough it's always more than 8c, but it's a good start. 4c down so far.0 -

Day 11 goals achieved. 129 minutes of walk and 11 calories to spare.
Day 12 is going to be cooling off day.
The big number is getting bigger. 344 lbs as of my last check. So, satisfying. Let's make it even bigger in next 10 days.0
