Goals for Friday 3/11
1. try to be sensible in what I eat after breakfast. My mom is stopping by in the morning and is going to bring me breakfast (which means fast food either McD's or BK) I'm gonna have to see which is the better option for me. I know I really don't want any of it but I also can't really tell her no when she does this.
2. Drink nothing but water and unsweetened tea. I need to get my caffine in somehow or I can't function.
3. Work on shoes and laundry. I've almost got a bag for donation done. Hoping to at least get it filled so I can get it out of my living room.
1. had a mcmuffin and forgot how good those can taste:) Ate pretty well for the rest of the day too:)
2. FAIL...Diet dew was so much easier to just grab and go with.
3. FAIL....gonna blame hubby on this one cause he came home early from work and wouldn't leave me alone;) hehe not all bad but still didn't get this done.
Wedding was awesome! Can't wait to see all the photos:) My speech was short and sweet. I don't remember what I even said though hehe.....She was gorgeous in her dress and that was the best looking her husband has ever looked for as long as I've known him:) hehe He's one of those sweats guys so I never really see him in much of anything but sweats and ratty t-shirts. He looked good in his white tux!! hehe
Friday night me and the hubby got a date night:) We went to a movie and saw "I Am Number Four" all I can say is that it is one of the best movies I've seen in along time!!! It was so much better than the previews made it look! Highly recommend people go see it!!
So my goals for Monday 3/14
1. Water
2. clean kitchen
3. laundry
4. finish the shoes.
5. go to post office to return something so I don't owe them $70 itds not really worth it! hehe

Kim - You can do it girl! It's a struggle, believe me, but at some point I will really RUN...that's pretty exciting to know. I too have been slacking off some and it's not helped me out one bit. The countdown is about 46/45 days till Colorado so I really need to take some inspiration from Nam and step it up too.
Nicole - glad you're back and feeling better
Ravyn - I really liked that movie too. And bonus...Timothy Olyphant is in it! I didn't see the previews to know that. I hope they have a sequel...It was quite enjoyable.

5. No TV – Yes!
Morning Ladies,
Yesterday was more win then lose, I didn’t make it to the gym after work but I did spend the evening organising my friend’s hen/bachelorette party. I did give in a little to the snacks at work, but stayed strong when my boyfriend got fish and chips in the evening (it just about killed me).
Speaking of the fella it’s his birthday today so its dinner with his parents tonight. They’re very nice in most ways except that they are very judgemental about peoples’ weight
. They also expect people to eat like a horse and drink gallons of wine. To add to the fun I used to work for his dad as an Architectural Technician and chucked it in to work admin at a hospital so that I would have enough free time to do more art. He has never said it but I know he thinks I threw it all away to work a dead end job. Any way my real point was, before confusing this thread with Oprah, I must stay strong and know that I can have either pasta or birthday cake but not both. Also I must work out hard as I can before we go out tonight.
Rav – Glad the wedding went so well and loving the new profile picture, you look lovely.
Steph – Thanks, you’re right; we can do this and it’s going to be awesome! I’m completely ready to bitten by the running bug. When I walk at lunch I’m feeling more and more like I want to break into a run.
Hutchins – Hope your daughter feels better soon.
Leela – I’m so there with you on the water. I’m hitting the pure peppermint tea more and more to get my water in.
Nicole – Good luck with your exam
Kathy – Love the idea of a sugar monster, it regularly jumps out on me around too.
Tuesdays Goals:
1. Water
2. Burn at least 500 calories on top of lunch time walk. I want to have at least 1000 to play with at dinner.
3. More laundry - comes around fast doesn’t it?
Sorry for the INCREADIBLY long post. Hope you all have a great day! See you later.

Evening all! No idea why I keep disappearing from this thread. Time just flies by and with commenting on posts and logging my own food I don't seem to find the time. Anyway that will change...I hope!
Have been doing ok lately. Probably a bit too much of the wrong type of foods but have given myself a stern talking to and a kick up the backside so I've been back on track since yesterday.
Hope you've all been doing well. I'll catch up on all that I missed tomorrow and will check in again then.
Wednesday goals:
1. Lots of water.
2. No naughty treats when I go to visit my niece.
3. Walk. Fast. Somewhere. Anywhere. To at least get some exercise done.
Going to try and keep it simple for now and hope that gets me properly headed in the right direction.
Have a lovely day and catch you all tomorrow! :flowerforyou:0 -
K- I thought about buying some mint leaves today to add to my water. Have you ever tried it? I didn't want to waste the money o something that I may or may not like.
Hi Leela,
I've had really strong mint tea made for me a by a Moroccan friend of mine that was with straight mint leaves, it was a bit too much for me. Having said that I absolutely love twining pure peppermint tea made with bags. Its really light, smells refreshing, and is almost sweet but isn't sugary or saccharine. I like it so much I even have started substituting my second morning cup of coffee for one (that's high praise) and certainly all my afternoon coffee has been switched. It doesn't have the same bitterness as green tea and is more refreshing then camomile.
Hope that helps.0 -
what brand is the peppermint tea? is it something I can find in a regular supermarket? I have been drinking lipton's green tea with orange, jasmine and passion fruit. but I am always looking for a change.
Nam, have a great time with your niece! I decided to take a walk today too. My daughter and I walked to the library when she got of school. I don't know about fast walking though, she can't keep up. Where did you walk to?0 -

K, I will try to search for the tea. I just left the market today, but I will be turning on the weekend. Isn't it getting late out there? I'm surprised you're still on. You're quite the night owl tonight. j/k0 -
Yup its way past my bed time just up replying to people for friends bachelorette party.
I've found the US site its http://www.twiningsusashop.com/herbal-tea.html I wouldn't get too worries about brand maybe try out herbal teas in a coffee shop and see what you like.

Leela - I know for sure that Twinnings is available in the states. It's good stuff, too! lol There are also a lot of fruit infusion "teas" coming onto the market these days that you could possibly try.

Hi everyone, i'm new here, its only my 2nd day and yesterday went okay,.... not great, as im typing i just remembered that sausage roll that i had, so i'm going to have to update my food diary, however, all else went well. i'm looking forward to the encouragement from everyone and hoping that i can give you some back. i used to be a female bodybuilder and fitness freak, i even worked in Curves, but when i met my ex partner, i put on the weight, i even left my job and took up a desk job!! so the weight piled on, however i am doing something about it now!! and with all your help x

2. Do 30mins of walking, even to the shop
3. Stay under my calories for today as i was over yesterday
Good luck everyone x0 -

2. Exercise and yoga before work.--Yes.
3. Stick to my eating plan.--Yes.
4. Get to bed on time.--No. (HAD to watch 'V'. Love that show!)
Another good day, for the most part. Found a large,slightly ripped bag of potting soil for half price at work and went back with a car and bought it. Also picked up one of the rolling containers I need for my portable vegetable garden. Getting ready for Spring!
Leela--you should be able to find Twinings in a store near you. Almost every major supermaket carries it, as well as other brands of teas. (My DD and I buy LOTS of different teas!)
I've been trying a little trick I read about in a Woman's World magazine--when I have a craving I make a fist. It's supposed to help you resist the craving and, so far, anyway, it seems to be working. I just hope I keep remembering to do it!
Goals for March 16:

Kim - I have also started subbing out my second coffee and afternoon drinks for some tea. Green tea though. I bought a ton! 300 bags! So glad that it's working out. It's helping me get some water in finally. YAY!
I'm so drained today, my only goal is to go to bed at a decent hour. The time change apparently is kicking my butt.0 -
Poppy- welcome!
Had an amazing workout! I'm a little sore. I didn't train after zumba, but I did walk by the river for almost an hour. It was 63 degrees today and I couldn't pass up the chance to walk with my friend. My knee felt pretty good, it was the first time I have really walked on pavement since I hurt my knee. I did walk around to the library with my daughter, but its not that far away. I'm still chugging water! I will do the abs later and I have started reading. So my goals are in reach for today. I'll check back later.0 -
Oops! Got a message there was an error after I first posted. :laugh:0
