Well I missed yesterday on here. Was way too busy yesterday with everything I had to do. Today I still have alot going on. Too much shopping needing to be done and most of it is just looking to see what is physically in the stores so lots of fast paced walking for me. My daughter has to almost run to keep up. Hubby and I are pricing out what it'll cost us for new cabinets in the kitchen. Thinking it will be much cheaper for us to stain our own. But was looking to see who had what cause our kitchen's layout is odd and so are the dimensions.
I also have been trying to find me a new pair of sneakers that don't hurt my feet and still have good arch support cause I have high arches. I used to stick with Skechers cause they always seemed to have the best selection of them but now I can't find many that will actually work. I tried on one of their toning shoes and could barely stand up in them. So at least now I know not to waste my money on those. I already have balance issues I don't need to add to them hehe. Now I'm going to buy 2 pairs of shoes from 2 different stores so I can put one on each foot and see which one is better. Then return the ones I don't want. I hate having to do that but so far its all I've found.
So my goals for today..
1. shop for shoes
2. laundry
3. water
4. log everything and avoid eating any junk today.0 -
goals
1. to get in my 8 glasses of water (been slacking on this for about a week now)
2. to get in some more fruit and veg
3. to get a work out in the afternoon if the kiddies nap at the same time
1. reached
2. reached
3. didnt get an afternoon workout as did the ironing out in the garden and enjoyed the sunshine but did walk for an hour
same goals for tomorrow 0 -
mid day check in!Friday 4/8's goals:
1. go to the gym in the morning. YES
2. eat the menu that I've already laid out. SO FAR SO GOOD
3. continue with water and tea YES AND YES
non-fitness goals.
1. laundry (it seems like its never-ending) ITS JUST ABOUT DONE!
So its looking good for me today. I just have to learn to eat more throughout the day so I don't feel like I'm starving by the evening. I am trying to avoid snacking too. I have been chewing gum if I just want to chew and have flavor. Or I have been drinking tea, for the same purpose, just to have some flavor in my mouth instead of the taste of nothing. It seems to be going okay so far. Plus, I don't have any stresses currently in my life, so I am not eating as much. I have been watching less tv because I am notoriorous for eating while watching tv so if I watch tv less, I eat less. Well that's the logic anyway.
I have less than 2 weeks until my trip and I'd like to lose about another 5 pounds. I know it seems rather ambitious since I've been stuck at the same weight for what feels like the entire month of March and now its carrying into April, too.
Well thanks for letting me rant!

Morning Everyone,
Jess - So sorry for your loss. I'm glad the wake went well.
Sorry I haven't been around much I've been sick the last few days. As I mentioned before its one of the many joys of working in a community hospital. I think by the time I leave this job I'll have an immune system you can bounce rocks off.
I haven't been very good about what I've been eating yesterday or this morning. I'm hoping to turn that around as of now.
Saturdays Goals:
1. Finish under my calorie goal - this is going to be a close one today.
2. Laundry, it s gorgeous sunny day must try and get it all done and out on the line.
3. Water, lots and lots of water.
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Good morning everyone! I'm baaacccckkkk (hopefully it will last this time).
I have a couple weeks of a moderate work load before finals (may go MIA again there) so I should be around. I was super happy to step on the scale today and notice that I haven't gained any weight! But haven't lost any either. This weekend was Relay for Life so today my whole body hurts since I was a Captain of the event and had to be there all weekend to make sure everything ran smoothly. So I'll be taking it easy today. Goals are:
1. Water (at least 6 cups). Still need to work my way back up.
2. Catch up in my novel reading for class.
3. Clean my room and do laundry. (All my clothes are caked in mud from the weekend. It rained all day Friday. You should have seen all the cars getting stuck when they tried to park. Oy. What a mess it was).
4. Lots of vitamin C and rest so I don't get sick from being in the rain and cold all weekend.
I plan on getting to the gym tomorrow if my body feels a little better! Have a good day everyone! I've missed you all!

coffey7799--LOL! Trouble is--the one soft drink I absolutely do NOT like is Dr. Pepper!0 -
Sorry I've been MIA recently. It's been a weird couple of days..... Logging has gone by the wayside due to 1) not having a whole lot of time to be on MFP 2) eating a bunch of stuff for which I didn't have a clue of brands/nutritional info. That said, I think it's seriously time to get back on the wagon here! (When I weighed in yesterday, I'd gained about 2 pounds. :ohwell: )

1. Healthy choices at the pub - Reasonably, not the salad but pretty good
2. Don't over do it on the walk- Yup
3. Enjoy today as much as possible. – Definite yes
Yesterday was fantastic and getting out tin sunshine did wonders. Sadly though I got on the scales for the first time in a while and I had gained weight, it’s not a surprise, I’ve been eating really badly for the past half week. Now its time to get back on with it.
1. Under on calories, no excuses.- I must be under everyday this week.
2. Walk at lunch and run after work
3. Water
4. Stop being distracted by thoughts of exotic places and get on with some work!
Have a great day!
