Hi,
I didn't too well keeping track of things yesterday. but I did spend the day wondering round the local royal horticultural society gardens which was lovely if a bit chilly, can't wait to go back in a few weeks when spring has picked up a bit more pace.

3. Draw when we get back.
Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Goals for March 4:
1. Water.--Pretty good.
2 1 mile and Yoga before work.--Yes
3. Healthy choices.--Mostly, should have been better.
4. Watch the Friday night snacking!--UGH!!--This is why #3 is "mostly" and not "yes"!
A bit late posting today. It's been a pretty good day so far. Took it off from exercising but have been eating pretty well. Started some seeds for my (very small) garden and did some grocery shopping. Need to drink more water, still, though.
Hope everyone is enjoying themselves this weekend!0 -
Went to the running store today and managed to blow over $300! How on earth is running so freakin' expensive!?!?!? I guess now that I know what I need, I can get cheaper things later on the next round. I hope to be completely "safe" to start running. Meaning not injuring myself with this goal. Two 5K's coming up in June to train for. The Susan G. Koman and the Spartan Race. I am really nervous about that one. I've never ran a 5K before and then having them basically a week apart is intense. But if you have a minute...check out www.spartanrace.com for the craziness my friends want me to embark on. A 5K with 10 obstacles including water, mud and fire...insane! Yet, I really need to start training for the Rock n' Roll 1/2 Marathon. So...here we go!0

Sorry I've been MIA over the past few days.... To be completely honest, it was partially because I was getting kinda annoyed with myself on NOT reaching so many of my goals and embarrassed that you all were seeing my failures. I've kinda kicked myself in the butt over the weekend, though, and I think I'm ready to try this again. Hopefully getting back to reaching some of my goals, too!
Anyway, welcome Jess! (You'll find your name is rather common in this topic for some reason.... :laugh: )
Steph: I would sure hope equipment you had to spend that much on will keep you safe.... I can't IMAGINE spending that much on fitness supplies, unless it was a machine!
Nam: Hope you had a terrific trip! I spent about a week in Ireland my last year of high school, and would LOVE to be able to get back someday!

Just a quick sidenote. I haven't been doing well lately, I can't figure out what it is. I have NO willpower to stick to this. I want it so bad and then I sit at home at night and eat girl scout cookies. Now my back is killing me and I just feel lost. Sorry just needed to vent a little. I'm trying hard to stay on track.0 -
Ok. Today was supposed to be a good day. I worked out for 1.5 hrs this am and I was bumpin............ then my daughter got her braces and did so well and she wanted BK and Krispy Kreme. I said "ok" and I ate it too. So Right now it's 11:30am and I am setting at a perfect "0 calories remaining". Look like I'll have to work for everything I eat for the rest of the day.

I'll probably be pretty busy this week since her wedding is this weekend and I'm the matron of honor.

Monday's goas:
1. Food shopping after work. I literally have no fresh food left. YES

So its day 2 with no diet pepsi. Its not even intentional, I just haven't had a taste for it. I've been sipping lemon water all day and haven't even thought about it until now. I won't open a can unless I know I will drink the whole thing and since I know I won't finish it, its no point in opening it and letting it go to waste!0 -
