    Morning everyone!

    I've had an ok couple of days. I've been doing much better with water at least. Unfortunately, I pulled an all nighter on Tuesday night to get some homework done so yesterday I had to keep myself eating because my body needed something to keep it going due to the lack of sleep it got. But with all the crazy running around I've been doing I should still be ok for a loss this week! Ok so goals for today:

    1. 8 cups of water.
    2. Log all calories and stay between 1200-1500
    3. Keep myself motivated and on task so I don't have to pull another all nighter. (Will probably happen anyway but I can hope right? lol)

    So... I know you've all heard me talk about THON in earlier threads but Penn State THONs in 8 days!! 8 days!! I cannot believe it. It came on so fast and I've never been so excited. It's my favorite weekend of the year by far. For those of you who don't know... we have a 46 hr. no sleeping so sitting dance marathon where we raise millions of dollars for the four diamonds fund at the Hershey med Center. For the kids!!

    Have a good day everyone!

    3.) keep my cool with my daughter today when we have a very serious discussion.
    Yikes! Good luck with that, Jess! I'm not a mother (hopefully I can say "yet" cause I've always wanted kids) but I know those didn't always go real well between my mother and I.

    Thanks........... If I knew how to post pics I would soooooooooooooooooooo post what I am upset about.

    Daycare handed me a pic that they found....Rylie drew it. And it says I hate "so and so".... Another kid in her class. That's not right. That's not the way I've raised her. Breaks my heart but I know all kids do things and that's how they learn but I'm really upset by it.

    First off, wow Nicole that sounds amazing! Good luck and let us know how you got on!

    Leela - weekend eating strategies - that's what I need! It's easier during the week when things are more structured with work and stuff, but when you eat out on a weekend once or twice or visit family I always end up bumping up those calories a bit. So I will joing you on that one tomorrow.

    Yesterdays goals
    1. Try for the 6 glasses of water! It will be good for you walking all the way to the water cooler so many times! MANAGED 8!
    2. Some exercise you weakling! DID HALF OF THE DVD, BUT ONLY COZ IT WAS 10PM
    3. No snack after dinner!! ACHEIVED
    4. Seriously no cake/chocolate. OK, SO I HAD A SMALL CHOC BAR, VERY SMALL, BUT WAS STILL UNDER CALORIES

    Todays goals;
    1. 6 glasses of water. 2 DOWN
    2. Go for a walk at lunch. DONE
    3. Dvd after kids are in bed
    4. No snacking after dinner

    Nichole, sry I never properly welcomed you! It's so good to see new faces committing day by day. So far my weekend menu is working out fine, how about yours? the key for me is keeping good foods in the house. We keep treats in the house for our daughter, but the second we run out of fruits and healthy snacks, I'll turn to things like pop tarts (love ya Jess! :) )
    I can't believe I was 4 for 4 yesterday. I hope to be as successful throughout the weekend.
    1. Go to the Y to play basketball and get in a few more miles. YES AND YES
    2. Go to the market to replenish fruits and veggies. YES
    3. Have a bottle of water in my hands at all time. ENDED WITH 80 OZ OF WATER AND 8 OZ OF TEA ALSO HAD 20 OZ OF DIET SODA BOOO
    4.Come up with a strategy for this weekend's eating. YES

    Everyone have a great Friday. Anyone have big plans for the weekend/ V-day?

    Saturday's goals:
    1. workout before anyone wakes up!
    2. create all the food in advance and put it in tupperware bowls so I can just grab it.
    3. keep water by my side again, no cut off time for drinking water.
    4. continue working on abs!

    Fridays goals short and sweet:
    1. Get the house ready for friend coming for the weekend - Yes, barely recognise the place.
    2. Under on calories - No very much not under on calories
    3. Water - Yes

    Hutchins - I'm so sorry about your dog.

    Nicole - the THON sounds fantastic! Sounds tough but great.

    Morning all,

    I hope you are all having a great weekend. Mine so far has been fantastic. Man candy is away snowboarding and my best friend has come to stay the weekend. Yesterday was facials (bliss!) then bridesmaid dress shopping. We managed to get it sorted in half an hour and its gorgeous! Today is body balance and hopefully if time a swimming.

    Recently I've been wavering. I've lost enough weight to be pleased and I get nice comments from people I haven't seen in a while but though I'm not at my goal and I'm getting complacent. The old bad habits have been creeping back in. I say creeping but more like rushing to fighting for my time. I'm getting home from work and thinking "its been a tough day" and the usual line of excuses that leads to eating junk and no exercise or "its the weekend! Woo hoo! Day off surely?!", if I have a treat I don't just have one and rather tellingly I think of them as treats. It has to stop and today seems like as good a day as any. Better in fact because I've just got my bridesmaid dress and its a bit on the tight side. Now I really need to do it.

    Sorry to write such a long post, but I really needed to fess up.

    Goals for Sunday:
    1. Body Balance, Shred and if possible swim
    2. Under on calories
    3. Healthy choices
    4. Water
    5. Draw
    6. Plan meals for the week.

    Have a great Sunday everyone!
