Yesterday calories were a really close run thing, I made bad food choices:frown: but fortunately upping the running kept me under but I have to sort out my sweet tooth. I’ve managed to sort out my meals and portion sizes but I seem to be craving sweets all the time. I know it’ll only take a few days with out any to sort it so consider this day 1.

2. No sweets
3. Meet friend for run after work

Thanks for finding us, you can guarantee that we will still be around in May. We have been going strong for over half a year now!!! Glad you're trying to drink more pure water, but you can actually count tea as part of your water intake.
Can't wait to learn more about you!0 -
Well... I made it to the gym yesterday and I drank my water. That's about it for the goals though. I have to do better today since I'm pretty sure I'm gaining those three pounds that I lost back. So...

Have a good day everyone!0 -

Welcome Loopyluc! It's great to see new people joining up! :happy:Easter Sunday (4-24-2011) fitness goals
1. DRINK WATER!!! - Not so much. Since I was giving myself a free day, I ended up drinking milk instead.
2. Take vitamins - Didn't have time for breakfast before heading to church, so no. :ohwell:
3. Limit portion sizes. However, I'm not even going to ATTEMPT to log dinner.... It's a holiday! lol - Mostly, though I think if I'd have been logging I still would have gone over almost a thousand calories. :laugh: :blushing:
4. Bed by 10, sleep by 10:30 - Not so much... Had trouble getting away after dinner and wasn't home until after 10.
Non-fitness goals
1. Be ON TIME to church!!! - YEAH! Not only that, (Which since I was going with family I should have expected.....) but I was even a few minutes early to my grandmother's before hand!
2. Enjoy the day with my family - Mostly.... My family is what I call "functionally dysfunctional," (Most of my mom's immediate family still have traditional families, but there are all kinds of fun communication breakdowns and personality conflicts.) so a day with them is never 100% stress-free. :laugh:
Ok, it's late in the day, but let's try this thing anyway:
4-27-2011 fitness goals

3. Stay under on calories
4. Bed by 10, sleep by 10:30
4-27-2011 non-fitness goals

4-28-2011 goals4-27-2011 fitness goals
1. Drink at least 6 cups of water - Yep!
2. Get to the gym! Going out to a hibachi place for dinner with the boyfriend's family to celebrate his birthday and would like to get some extra calories to make up for it. - Yes! And I even did elliptical for the longest I ever have before! 20 full minutes! I'm not going to say I WANTED to stick it out, I seriously wanted to stop at about 10, but I pushed through!
3. Stay under on calories - Ummmm. Not really, though I'm not sure if my dinner logging was exactly right.
4. Bed by 10, sleep by 10:30 - Well, not quite, but maybe I can at least get to sleep by 10:30?
4-27-2011 non-fitness goals
1. ALL laundry away - Not quite.... Came home from dinner with a headache for some reason, might be from being tired, and I in case that is the reason I don't want to stay up to finish.
2. Get myself looking nice, but still be on time for dinner! - Sort of.... I'd wanted to do my make-up and that didn't happen, but I did at least get a shower! :laugh:
3. Set goals for tomorrow before bed - That's what this is. :happy:
1. Water, at least 6 cups
2. Under on calories and fats.... Working x2, so I'm not sure about being able to stay under on carbs because that means packing twice, probably two sandwiches for the sake of time, though I might go with a salad for lunch.
3. Bed either by 10:30 or within 45 minutes of getting home from job #2, whichever is later
4. Either read or talk to coworkers at job #2 instead of killing all the time on my phone0 -
Wednesday’s Goals:
1. Under on calories - No
2. No sweets - Yes
3. Circuit training - No
4. Try out new recipe for left over salmon – Yes!
Morning Everyone,
Yesterday, I was over by 116 calories, that if I had not got distracted and done my circuits like I should would not have been a problem. Having said that I made healthy choices all day, no sweets, and got up early to do an extra set of circuits this morning. The no sweets thing is already easier today.
I’ve dropped a bit of weight as of this morning but have been bouncing up and down the same 5lb for months now, I have 3lb to lose to get down to 150lb and I must actually knuckle down and lose it! I’m giving myself a month to do it.
Thursday’s Goals
1. Look up healthy options for tomorrows royal wedding party
2. Under on calories
3. Healthy choices
4. Run & something else
Have a lovely day everyone!

Hope you're all having a lovely Friday. I'd just like to take this moment to say: Its the weekend! We made it!
Like most of Britain I've got today off work and I'm off to a royal wedding tea party combined friends birthday. My brother is coming up from Cornwall to for the weekend.

Have fun!

Ended up having to get to work a little early so no AM workout yesterday. Had quite the workout at work, though--two HUGE orders were delivered and there is probably still some of it left to do today--as well as today's delivery of annuals.
It is still very cold (for here--33 today) in the mornings but it is supposed to warm up to almost 50 later--normal for this time of year is around 60 degrees.

2. Healthy choices and portion control.

No AM workout today, either--I am SO sore from work that I am going to give it a rest and take a LONG hot shower instead!
Enjoy your party and your weekend, Kim.
