My goals for Day 14 are to walk at least 60 minutes and stay within my calories limit. Day 13 goals were achieved.

Being busy at work will provide the needed distraction from carvings and temptation while my weekday routine of walking to work, walking during lunch break and walking after work will help achieve my walking goal. The biggest driving factor as always is to get healthy. I will be kidding myself if I procrastinate on this b/c I know that it is not healthy to carry extra 77 lbs all the time.

Beautiful day for me today...after a great relaxing weekend, today my aim is beginning to avoid the food during my job...I can only eat when I'm at home or, if I am able to, I cam bring sone food from home and eating it...

It's a normal Manic Monday. I didn't get up this morning to do T25 since my legs cramped up all night. I will go for my 4 mile walk and my eating patterns are under control. Ran a 5k on Saturday for the first time since my TIAs, which was amazing but yesterday I was on my feet all day and I think that did me in. Didn't give my legs time to recover so couldn't really get the engine going. Back at it tomorrow for sure!

Yesterdays goals met! Today its getting in an hour at the gym, stay within my calorie range and have all my food prepared for the next 2 night shifts so there won't be any reason to wander to the vending machine in the wee hours of the morning.


Happy Monday everyone!

Good morning and hope everyone had a great weekend!

I hurt my back a bit yesterday as I think I did too much on Saturday. We were putting the yard to bed for the winter so lots of bending and twisting. I already have a bad back so I just need to take it easy for a few days until the muscles release and the stiffness goes away!

So for today goals are:

Stay within calorie goal
Baby my back with ice, heat and advil!

That's about it for today!!

Met all goals yesterday but one, did not do the dvd but did go on a 10k walk so I'm good with that.
Today my plan is to:
weigh, measure and log everything
DVD - done
water
evening walk
stay under calorie goal

Happy Monday! Going to get my steps in and headed to yoga!

My goal is to get back on track. I had a horrible weekend......emotionally, mentally, physically and all around health wise.


I am going to run 3 miles today
Eat 100% Paleo

But my biggest goal today is to gently forgive myself for my weekend mishaps because after all this is an ongoing journey and I am my #1 ally.

This weekend was difficult. I was/am dealing with a sick child, so I was not as active and I hoped to be. But Today is a new day!

My goals for today:

Stay within my calories
Drink plenty of water while at work.

Hi everyone! I am a late addition to the group and the spreadsheet log.

Anyone one here who wants to "friend" me on MFP, I would appreciate it as having people to keep me accountable for exercise/what i put in my body is a huge motivator for me (i.e. previously lost 10 lbs on MFP, but when my friend stopped using the app I lost accountability, eventually stopped my diary, and gained 20 pounds).

Since I am about 2 weeks late, I will try to make up for it with 14 goals (it is my day off from work and I have nothing to do, so why not):
1. Run 2 miles
2. 10 squats
3. 15 modified pushups
4. 20 tricep dips
5. Take stairs instead of elevators
6. Drink 8 glasses of water
7. Set up and play one game on my wii-fit
8. Hold a plank for at least 45 seconds
9. Take my puppy on a hike/long walk
10. Try the Comcast on-demand yoga class
11. No more chocolate (caved earlier today and had a muffin for breakfast)
12. Steps goal (10,000 on my jawbone up)
13. Have a non-fat yogurt (yuck, but necessary if I am ever going to like them)
14. Have an apple (yuck, but necessary if I am ever going to like them)

The weekend was crazy. I had my monthly book club which is always a free day as far as diet. It is such a great get together and much needed grown up time so I rarely try very hard to abstain.

Today is a new day though. My back pain treatment is still feeling good. So far my breakfast and lunch have been pretty good. I am feeling super snacky but avoiding it by spending too much time on this site. So far so good.

My goals for today are to stay with in my calorie goals.
Drink enough water.
Make it to class tonight after work.
Walk around the office as much as I can.

Yesterday was a better day for me. Reset my steps to something I can do right now, but even that makes my foot hurt. Drank all my water, which I really need to do thru out the day not at the last minute.
Day14 goals are to get at least 7,000 steps, keep my foot elevated as much as I can, keep in the green on my calories, and drinking my water.

The weekend was fine, I stayed under my calories (mostly) but did skip on the exercise due to a cold that keeps lingering.

Today is day 1 of week 4 of my fasting experiment (5:2), so I keep it simple and maybe skip my 30DS dvd again today since I am still under the weather and should start level 3 (supposedly much harder).

Goals:
- drink lots and lots of water and tea
- have a nice dinner of 500 cals
- maybe exercise or do some gardening (depending on how my throat feels later)

Happy start in the new week everyone!

Today I am just happy to be back into my normal life. We had a huge Scandinavian festival in town that I had to work at multiple days. Only good thing is that I did a tone of walking, bad is that butter, cream and sugar made up 3 of the 4 food groups I eat for the week Didn't gain but sure didn't lose anything. My goals for this week are to work on preplanning my day better, staying under 1500 cal and fit in 3 workouts throughout the week. I know I should try for more but after working 40 hours, kids and then working 3-5 hours on crafting each day I am starting to run out of time. I only have a few weeks till the start of weekly shows for my crafting business and I wanted to get some stuff on etsy b4 the holidays.

Day 14... I'm ready to set some goals!!

Staying below 25 g net carb is my goal for today as I'm trying low carb diet and I'm hoping it is gonna work so wish me good luck.
