Tuesday
1. Water - Yes
2. Under on the calories -Yes
3. Laundry! A bit bust still have loads to do.
Morning Everyone!
I had a great moment this morning. I was rushing through to the bathroom in a towel (I normally shamble about in a very large dressing gown in the mornings) and caught sight of myself in the mirror. I have legs again! Even when I was at a healthy weight my legs have always looked more like supporting columns. I learned to be cool with that, I scuff about in jeans and trainers to most things while dresses and skirts largely happen to other people. Any way what I'm trying to say is ankles people! I now have ankles! I should have done this years ago.
Wednesdays Goals:
1. Water
2. Calories
3. Walk
4. More laundry
Good luck everyone!

I am so glad that we have the oldies and the newbies here. I am stoked that I am up and running again. I really need to show my tastebuds whose boss and I am working on that. I need to buy tons of that dessert gum. I think that will help because I love that stuff. Well I better hop to it while I have all this energy. My keyboard is about to spontaneously combust because I am typing so fast!!!! It's like I'm on speed and that doesn't happen very often!!!0 -

Hi! My name is Roberta. I am married to my high shool sweetie (been together for 22 yrs, married for 16). I have a wonderful 10 yr old son who is hearing impaired and he keeps me on the go constantly. I have tried several weight loss attempts, only to fail and gain everything (plus some) back. I have decided that this is not a "diet" because that sounds so temporary...This is my new lifestyle of healthy eating. Since the end of September I have lost 30 pounds (with lots more to lose) but with the help of all MFP buddies I CAN DO THIS!!!

I'll have 5 racks of primroses and pansies, etc. waiting for me when I get there today. Going to be busy!
Kim--Ankles! Nice!
Everyone with snow and ice--be careful!0 -
Yesterday's Goals:
1) Do some laundry (it's been piling up)
2) Drink 5 bottles of water - at least 2 without flavor packets in them
3)No Fast Food!
Results:
I didn't get around to doing the laundry, and I only drank 2 1/2 bottles of water, all of which had flavor packets in them... Although I did manage to get through the day without eating fast food which put me under for my calorie count yesterday.
Although I didn't do everything on my list, I did manage to walk on the tredmil and I managed to walk 2.25 miles (not all at once, but that's still better than the nothing I've been doing). I've laid out a sort of schedule that works in walking and my wii fit game into my already planned afternoon schedule... I had to work in some extra time and shorten some things to work in time for my online class, so the walks during the week will be short. Again... It's better than not walking at all, and it's a start to work me toward being able to finish (without collapsing) the 8k for H2O and the LifePoint Gift of Life 5K/2K this month.
Today's Goals (2/2):
1) Do the Laundry! (I have to get to it sometime this week...)
2) Devote an entire hour to playing with my son (probably teach him a new word if he'll let me)
3) Hydrate - Drink 5 bottles of water!0 -

Sorry I didn't post goals yesterday. Yesterday was a blur, I barely remember anything. So I will post today's goals:
Thursday's goals:
1. try to eat more solid foods as tolerated.
2. maybe go to the gym, if the roads are clear, if not, workout from home.
3. try to drink water.0 -
Yesterday's Goals:
1) Do the Laundry! (I have to get to it sometime this week...)
2) Devote an entire hour to playing with my son (probably teach him a new word if he'll let me)
3) Hydrate - Drink 5 bottles of water!
I got the laundry on the wash, but then totally forgot about it. I have to run it again today. *sigh*
I hadn't realized just how out of shape I was until I actually did devote an entire hour and a half to just playing with my son. He's 18 months old and he's all over the place. Apparently I'm his new favorite jungle gym and I'm almost certain that I burned off more calories doing that than anything else I've done all week. I just don't know how to put that into my exercise log, so when I went a bit over yesterday on my calorie count I figured it was alright for just that day.
I drank 4/5 bottles of water, better than the day before, but still not on target. I'll get there.
Today's Goals (2/3):
1. Finish my Online Class assignments!
2. Walk 2+ Miles
3. Drink 5 Bottles of Water0 -
