    Hi! Totally forgot to post my goals today! Nevermind on to tomorrow...

    Tues:
    1. Lots of water.
    2. Go to circuit class in the morning.
    3. Sensible food choices all day.
    4. Only 1 glass of vino in the evening. We are having a 'team cohesion meeting' which is code for going to the pub!! My lot are all big drinkers so I need to be well behaved so I can remind them of their antics the next morning!

    Kim I also went to uni in Brighton!! How strange maybe we were there at the same time!!

    Everyone is doing so well posting their goals! Let's keep the momentum going!!

    My goals for Mon 2/7
    1. Make all the phone calls I've been putting off for awhile now. DONE
    2. Drink water and only water all day and make sure to get enough in that I flush all this salt out from tonight. FAIL
    3. Do some sort of exercise to help burn off the extra unhealthy calories I've had today. FAIL
    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:) FAIL

    So major fail today. I got the phone calls done and that got me no where. Gotta call them again tomorrow. I will continue to call daily until I get the info I need from them. It's 2 different Dr offices and they should have called me over a month ago about what I'm calling for so I'm gonna keep on them this time. My daughter needs orthodic insoles before she starts getting all the problems that come from having flat feet.

    So goals for tomorrow 2/8
    1. Water no excuses!!
    2. Some kind of exercise!
    3. Be careful how much pizza I eat tomorrow night. I'm going to be part of a focus group for a local radio station and they are feeding us pizza while we are there.

    Hope you all have a good day tomorrow!
  • This sounds like a great way to keep myself focused, thanks so much for starting these posts! I would love to have all of you add me as a friend, motivation is key to weight loss success :)

    My 3 goals:

    I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you. Good luck!

  • 1. Water, no excuses! – Yes!
    2. Walk, Body Balance & Body Attack – Yes to the walk but balance and attack didn’t happen

    Monday's goals:
    1. I have been slacking on posting goals, so my first goal is to post my goals! :) yes
    2. workout before 12. yes
    3. drink only water today to help flush out my system from the weekend. ONLY HAD A HALF OF DIET SODA, BUT TONS OF WATER.
    4. work up to solid foods. NOT REALLY :(

    Tuesday's goals:
    1. Go to kickboxing, its been a few weeks since I've gone.

    4. Try not to take a nap in the middle of the day, instead, have an earlier bedtime. I'm not in pain when I'm sleep and the medication makes me sleepy, so this one is hard. Yesterday, I had a nap AND an early bedtime.

    Goals for Feb. 7:
    1. Water.--Yes but need to drink more while at home.
    2. Stay in my calorie goal.--Yes.
    3. Exercise--at least 15 minutes before work and try more after work.--Did 15 before work but not after work--too tired. It's a start, though.
    4. Meditate and get to bed early.--Meditate--yes, bed early--no.

    Yesterday was a half-and-half kind f day when it comes to my goals. It COULD have been a total bust again, though, so I feel like it was a success.

    Welcome, Jess. I found that this is a really good way to stay focused.

    I almost blew it yesterday when I wanted a snack but then remembered the cut-up veggies from Sunday and had bell peppers and hummus for a snack--YUM!

    Goals for Feb. 8:
    1> Water--lots of it!
    2. Stay in my calories.
    3. Exercise for at least 15 minutes.
    4. Meditate and earlier bedtime.

    Complete and total FAIL yesterday. :embarassed:
    2-7-2011 goals
    1. Back to staying under on calories, carbs and fats - Bf invited me to go to the Cheesecake Factory so....... Yeah, right! (Did do a whole lot better than I'd expected, though!)
    2. 6-10 cups of water, depending on the sodium thing - Only 4
    3. Week 2, Day 1 of sit-ups - No. :ohwell: Basically went straight from work to dinner and when I got back didn't feel up to doing more than vegging for the evening due to being tired and the start of sinus issues of some time.
    4. Wash dishes - See above
    5. Bed by 9:30 - You would think with my reasons on #3 this would have happened, but no! (There are times I seriously confuse myself!)

    Fortunately, today is a new day!! Unfortunately, I've still got this sinus issue and am REALLY tired, so I don't foresee gym time today, much as I had planned on it with last night's dinner.

    2-8-2011 goals
    1. SERIOUSLY back to staying under on calories, carbs and fats (If possible, a bit extra to make up for the last two days. My goal is losing 1 lb/week with a moderately active lifestyle, so I can afford it.)
    2. 6-10 cups of water, depending on the sodium thing
    3. Week 2, Day 1 of sit-ups
    4. Wash dishes
    5. Bed by 10

    Oh hi...didn't know about this one....I'm in. I write my own Daily Goals challenge thread, did not know there was an official one that has other people in it....

  • Today I WILL achieve everything on my list.

    1. Water – Yes, 10 cups! :drinker:
    2. Under on calories - Yes
    3. Shred, walk & something else – Yup
    4. Drop off old clothes at the charity box. - Yes

    List accomplished :glasses:

    Nam – No way! I was in Brighton 2001-04, how about you? What do you think of the north laines development?

    Yesterday was great I was really motivated all day. I tried a Traci Anderson DVD and boy it was TOUGH! I thought my legs might actually drop off a few minutes into it. :sick: The phone rang during the arm track, I’ve never been so grateful for a cold caller phoning up ever! I’ve got to say though I didn’t have the same buzz that I normally have after 30 day shred or the lovely chill after body balance. I’m going to give it a month and unless I get amazing results off it I think I’ll leave Traci to Gwyneth Paltrow.

    Any way enough of that, today’s goals are:

    1. Water
    2. Healthy choices at dinner tonight. No booze.
    3. Walk, shred & if I’m up to it Traci Anderson.

    Have a lovely day everyone!
  • Ok I'm joining, simple things but it's got to help...

    Oh by the way I'm Nichole, 26, mummy to Joe 4 and Jules 1, and engaged to Dan. Just had a week off the healthy eating and exercise due to being SO poorly with flu, but I'm excited to start again this week.

    1. Up the water intake, usually manage 3 glasses so I'll double it today.
    2. Do SOME exercise. Busy night after work but whack a dvd on and DO IT!
    3. Do not snack after dinner tonight.
    4. No chocolate at all today.

  • Hey everyone,

    I'm Marianne, 32 mommy of a sweet little girl and a stay at home mom at the moment. I've been fighting depression all my life, had 3 suicide attempts until I decided to go to therapy and take meds, which helped me deal with my issues. I have my bad days and my good days but I have my bad days under control now, which was a huge step for me to accomplish and took me years of effort. I have started eating because of my severe depression, I am now at 115 kilos (253 pounds). I want to change my lifestyle around and start eating healthier and LIVE healthier, for myself. I try to keep a positive attitude about this, it's not always easy but I at least try! I hope I am welcomed here.

    Goals:
    Drink at least 5 glasses of water a day.
    Walk EVERY day at least 40 mins, do NOT make excuses not to go.
    Do some housework done, it burns calories and makes the house look nicer.
    Go to the local swimming pool tomorrow and take up swimming classes for me and my little one.

    If anyone wants to make me their friend here, go ahead please, I'd love the support.

    I came recap Wednesday's goals, realized I didn't post any, so I'll just recap the things I did.

    1. ZUMBA....I burned almost 900. I was standing in the front and by the mirror, I guess that was great motivation. You know, kinda like how a student who sits closer to the teacher feels more pressure to behave! :)
    2. TRAIN...we trained hard today in pod training. We worked legs, arms, abs after an hour of zumba!
    3. WATER... I've had a gallon of water before 4pm.
    4. LAUNDRY... I did 3 loads before working out. There was no way that I would feel like it afterwards.

    I'll post Thursday's goals:
    1. Go to Curves before going to the dentist.
    2. Go to evening Zumba if my pain level is low.
    3. Abs. Try some of the ab moves that I did it training.
    4. Eat solid foods if I can tolerate it.

    2. Do SOME exercise. Busy night after work but whack a dvd on and DO IT! - DIDNT DO DVD, BUT DID SOME BEDROOM CARDIO, DOES THAT COUNT??
    3. Do not snack after dinner tonight. - DID SNACK! STUPID TUCK SHOP AT SONS SCHOOL DISCO
    4. No chocolate at all today. SEE ABOVE, IT WAS A MINI KINDER BAR THAT BROKE ME!

    Ok so todays goals are as follows;

    2. Some exercise you weakling!
