MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS

30 more minutes to make it 90/200!
I also met my one day goal of 12 cups of water... I feel like that's too much, lol, so I won't be doing 12 again. 8-10 is more my style.

Goal for this week: 5000+ steps/day
Monday - 5361
Tuesday - 5789

WTG!!! That's a great goal. Do you work? What kind of job do you have if you do?

I have a mostly sedentary job. My employer started a challenge called "Shape Up the Nation" so I've been wearing a pedometer since the beginning of my journey (3/7/11). I've been getting around 5,000... some days it's more and some days it's less. Today I got in 7,922! The most I've ever had... it's tough to move this big body so I am impressed with myself. LOL

I got in a 15 min Wii Active work out and walked about a mile at Walmart getting groceries today.

Hey ladies

I'm just getting started really and am finding MFP really helpful.
I'm fairly fit, kinda, doing volleyball on Tuesdays (30 mins) and soccer on Thursdays (30mins x2).
I aim to go for a stroll at work for at least 10 mins per day and...
*** my target is to ride 40km (total including there and back) on Mondays, with my husband to work.
I have a feeling that just a little bit of extra exercise will tip me over the edge and that I'll be able to lose quite quickly.
I'm not into super low carbs or any fad diets, and don't want to kick myself if I make a mistake with my food choices.
I do want to eat more salad, but haven't set myself a specific goal. All I know is that it makes a good yummy snack that makes me feel virtuous rather than bad:)

I like the idea of short term goals. I had been doing well since I started in January but in the last week I have reverted back to all my old habits. :grumble: This week my goal is to exercise at least three days during the week. I did hop on the treadmill Monday night for 25 minutes and my plan is go to spin class tomorrow night, and a yoga CD Thursday morning.

It's official. My scale and I are not speaking.

Ugh....Having another week to forget, have been living at the hospital for the last two days while my partner was waiting for surgery, which he finally got today after two days of fasting...Poor Man.

On the plus I haven't eaten any chips, so woooo! go me

Hope everyone else is smashing through this week!

It's official. My scale and I are not speaking.

Give it a couple days off for your sanity! *hugs* Trust me, I know the pull of it whether we like it or not!

I think I'll hide the scale tonight when I get home and pull it out on Saturday morning (the day I wanted to meet my first goal). Or better yet, I will have my daughter hide it so that I won't find it! :laugh:

Today was a funny old day. I had what I thought would be a nice healthy breakfast, but it was a bit smaller than usual and I ended up starving at 11am. So I had some snacks of homemade pizza and healthy pumpkin soup (sister in law provided kindly)... then my friend twisted my rubber arm to go out for Yum Cha (asian dim sum) and forced me to eat various yummy things.
Had a coffee out and had to try some of the lovely rissotto my sister in law had made, then had as small a 'proper' dinner at home as I could (1 1/2 sausages and salad)...
*Kind of like two dinners and two lunches!!!
Still, portion sizes came to my rescue...
Managed to come in over my goal, but very very close to maintenance calories. In fact, slightly under!
I'm still getting used to not eating whatever I want, whenever I want in the most gluttonous way possible! :devil:
Well, I count today as a win as if every day were like today, I'd be losing in the long term.
Yay.
And I claim retrospective zig zag dieting :laugh:
Tomorrow I'll be in at work and will try for my normal good fast walk up and back from the main part of campus and regular healthy meals that are satisfying!
