I spent most of yesterday evening tidying the house. Its in a desperate state. In fact that is my main plan for the weekend it to get rid of all the junk and clean like a crazy lady. I've even bought some thing called a magic mop. I suspect I still have to do the actual mopping though.
I'm also going to try and reorganise the way I'm eating, I seem to spend my life going to the supermarket or just eating the same few meals because I know they're low calorie which then makes me want the old bad stuff.
So the weekends goals:
1. Tidy the house
2. Look up interesting low cal recipies and plan the weeks meals
3. Go through draws and get rid of stuff that no longer fits.
4. Water!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!0 -

Hello everyone!!
I'm Nicole and I've been MIA for forever. I'm a Penn State student and your typical idealist, save the world kind of person which causes me to always be running around like crazy volunteering and getting ready for THON and Relay for Life. I'm so happy to be back and to get back on track. Two weeks ago I lost my uncle and even though we knew it was coming, they gave him 6 months, 6 years ago, (cancer) it was a lot harder than I thought. So after two weeks of emotional eating (I missed a day of school and felt a week behind) I'm at my heaviest weight. So, I reset my clicker and am starting over.
Goals for today:
1. At least 8 cups of water.
2. Laundry! There isn't a bathroom floor right now. It's completely covered and it will take all day.
3. Homework! (Get ahead for the week so I have time for other things.)
4. Log all my calories.
Hope you all have a great Sunday! I will be back tomorrow morning to check in!

Well I've been MIA all weekend on here... But I found out that we had a wedding to go to yesterday that both me and the hubby for got about. It was for his cousin. He was quite happy we made it. Found out that The little girl I've been babysitting on Mon-Wed and Sat will no longer be coming over on Sats:) I'm happy about that cause her mom's schedule on the weekends is crazy!! hehe Been really good about what I've eaten so far this weekend until tonight but with watching the Super Bowl for the commericals only, I've eaten a few things I shouldn't have snack food wise and am indulging in some Diet Dew. Enjoying watching the commericals tonight and liked the half time show:)
Looks like you all have been doing well. Keep it up!!
Welcome back Nicole!! I also was MIA for awhile so its nice to see you come back to this as well!!
My goals for Mon 2/7
1. Make all the phone calls I've been putting off for awhile now.
2. Drink water and only water all day and make sure to get enough in that I flush all this salt out from tonight.
3. Do some sort of exercise to help burn off the extra unhealthy calories I've had today.
4. Not sit on my butt all day like I've gotten used to doing when the baby girl is here. She's lazy and it rubs off on me when she's here. I've got to get her used to the idea that its ok to run around and play since her mom doesn't seem to do it. She also only really eats nothing but junk food cause of her mom and I've been trying to change that slowly hehe:)
Well I'm off to snack some more even though I probably shouldn't. Hope you all have a good evening and Day tomorrow. I'll be back on sometimes tomorrow night to check in on you all:)0 -
Sorry I've been gone all weekend guys, but I've been super busy trying to get my house in some kind of order. The junk room has now been morphed into a workout room and the next thing on the agenda is to buy a new flat screen to mountto the wall!!! I'm excited. I've done good for the most part. Only a coue bad choices but I think with all the work I've done; I worked them off!!! Only thing I regret is not getting enough water. So..

Morning Everyone,
Welcome back Nicole! I feel a bit rude welcoming someone to their own thread. I should be saying thanks instead. :flowerforyou:
I hope everyone across the pond enjoyed the super bowl and that you had loads of fun in Brighton Nam. I went to Uni there near the place pier and had far too much fun in general.
This weekend was really productive in terms of getting the house straight but a bit of a food disaster. It’s a developing pattern that I’ve got to kick in the head before it gets ingrained. The good news though is that I’ve looked up loads of new recipes and my boyfriend is on a business trip this week so I have a chance to test them out with out having to inflict any culinary disasters on him.
I have also signed up for a 5k sponsored run, I know plenty of people can run 5k in their sleep but the only thing I would run for normally is a plane so I’m pretty nervous. I keep having awful flashbacks to school sports days. I’d better look up Couch to 5k.
Wow I’m rambling today. Sorry, I’ll get to the point.
1. Water, no excuses!
2. Walk, Body Balance & Body Attack – Hello deep end!
3. Under on calories
4. More housework
Have a great day everyone! See you later!0 -
Thanks for all the welcome backs!! I love that no matter how long I disappear for when I return there are always some of those waiting!
I did fairly well yesterday! I didn't surround myself with food for the superbowl... which... if the Eagles couldn't have gone and won, at least the Packers did. Aaron Rodgers really is an excellent quarterback.
Goals from yesterday:
1. Log all calories: Check! I didn't stay under... but that wasn't the goal quite yet. I did do better than usual though.
2. Laundry: Check! Took me alllll day. literally. But it's done.
3. Get ahead in homework: No... didn't even get everything done for today but it wasn't for lack of trying. I was doing homework allll day too.
4. 8 cups of water: check!
So goals for today:
1. Water.
2. Gym for at least 30 minutes.
3. Log all calories and keep it between 1200-1500.
Have a good day everyone!0 -

2. Stay in my calorie goals.--No.
3. Exercise!!!--Only 15 minutes, but it's a start!

While I drank lots of water yesterday I probably should have had more, considering the sodium in the foods we had! At least I know I will be drinking plenty today!
It is SO good for me to read all your post! I need to get back on track here--I have been letting all kinds of stuff get in my way and that is not the way it should be!

4. Polish up Career Objective Statement with Mom's help since she'll be here for the game - No, but I'm not taking complete blame for this. Mom got to my place late and we were then busy doing other stuff/watching the game the whole time.
