    1. Water (at least 6 cups). Still need to work my way back up. (Nope)
    2. Catch up in my novel reading for class. (Check)
    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). (Check- but I didn't finish it)
    4. Lots of vitamin C and rest so I don't get sick from being in the rain and cold all weekend. (Check)

    Hey guys! Missed the check in yesterday but I've been doing a little better with water.

    Today's goals are...

    1. Water
    2. Log cals and stay around 1200
    3. Get some homework done.

    As for the gym... I'm back in my ankle brace due to Relay so... I need to let my foot heal for awhile but I am trying to walk a little more than usual to make up for it.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    2. Hit calorie goal and maybe go over by 100 or so. Have barely eaten anything the last few days so need to feed my body with good wholesome food.
    3. Legs bums and tums class if feeling up to it after work.

    Have a lovely day!

    3.) assist my daughter in cleaning her NASTY room and doing her homework.
    4.) work on laundry
    5.) don't get stressed out about taking my son to the doctor (he flips out and throws hellacious fits)

    Happy birthday Steph!!!:flowerforyou: hope you had a lovely day!

    Stephanie welcome back. Glad you joined us again.

    Chrissy do you zig zag calories? I've considered doing that and occassionally end up doing it unintentionally!

    Kathy it's so annoying when you take the time to write out a post and then it disappears.

    Felt good getting to my class this evening and also walked at lunchtime for 40 mins.

    Goals for Thursday:
    1. Water.
    2. Hit calorie goal.
    3. Walk somewhere fast for at least 30 mins.
    4.No boozing after work.

    Hope you all had a good hump day!
  • I've caught myself dropping off the face of the earth. I won't let me!!!

    1.) get a grip--YES
    2.) mow the lawn--YES
    3.) assist my daughter in cleaning her NASTY room and doing her homework.---NO I let her play outside!
    4.) work on laundry-- Hubby did most of it!!
    5.) don't get stressed out about taking my son to the doctor (he flips out and throws hellacious fits)---We had a good Visit
    6.) water! it shouldn't be this hard!---got in my 8!!!



    Had a GREAT day yesterday!!! I am happy. I was falling and falling fast again, but I am pumped that I caught myself in a few days rather than a few months!!! hopefully I'm getting better. I am very discouraged though with my surgery and may end up having to have a hysto. That doesn't bother me, only being off work and not being able to do much is what bothers me. I am done having kids so I'm ok with it. And this last surgery made that impossible anyhow and Hubby has had a vasectomy.

    Wow I'm in a great mood and so talkative. No one here at work to talk to but I'm going to have to get off here soon because I've gotten in trouble for being on here so much and on facebook.......... So I'll list my goals and go.


    April 14, 2011
    1.) Water
    2.)Cals
    3.) Do a good deed.
    4.)Take my kids for a bike ride this evening.

    4-11-2011 goals
    1. At least 6 cups of water - No
    2. Under on calories, carbs and fats - No
    3. Bed by 10, sleep by 10:30 - I think so?
    4. Make it through the day without having to ask to leave early! - YES! Thankfully I was able to be sitting down most of the day, which helped. The only part of it that stunk was that because I was feeling so crumby, I just played a video for the kids (in for a music teacher) instead of trying to play a game with them or anything.
    Ok, I have no idea what's up with me recently..... I've been feeling really blah, and completely unmotivated in just about every single facet of my life for some reason! :embarassed: I really need to snap out of this, though, and today is as good a day as any!

    Steph - Happy belated birthday!

    Stephanie - Glad to see you back! As you can possibly tell by my first comment after my recap from Monday, I can fully relate....

    Hannah - Don't worry about missing days. :smile: As you've probably noticed, many of us do that from time to time. :laugh:

    Morning Everyone!

    Nam – Sorry to hear you had a bad day. well done not comfort eating and drinking. That’s a real achievement.

    SKismet – Hope things pick up for you soon.

    Yesterday was quite good, the running is getting better though I still find it pretty tough to envision a day where I will be able to run for 30 minutes solidly let alone 45-60. I started talking to myself while I run “Keep going! You HAVE to keep going! You CAN do this! It’s just a hill, keep going!” So glad no one was there by to hear as I alternately threatened and cajoled my self round the park. I must have sounded insane, but hey it worked!

    Todays Goals:

    1. Get out of the office on time
    2. Under on calories
    3. Supermarket
    4. Take a look at my bicycle see about getting it back into working order
    5. Shred
    6. Laundry

    Have a great day and if I don’t see you later have a good weekend too.
