Hello everyone!
First, I have to apologize for not posting the Day 17 thread - thank you so much to Maalea for taking the initiative! This group couldn't exist without everyone's participation and help. If you haven't already checked in on the Day 17 thread, how was your day?
Day 18 is Friday - what are your plans, goals, and strategies? Do you have any special weekend plans?

Day 17 was a miss. Went 1500 calories above.
Day 18 goal is to keep my calories under the limit.

Aiming to work out for at least an hour, and stick to my calories limit. Visiting family and eating out at the weekend, so hoping the restaurant have a nice salad option :-)0

I've been sick all week so not able to do much diet or exercise wise. Although I could barely eat anything so it may not be a total failure! Today is the first day I am starting to feel human again but still have to take it fairly easy.
Goals for today
Drink plenty of water
Stick to calories
Rest and recover0 -
7 years ago today my big brother died so all my workouts and music is dedicated to him. i am really going to do a special job too!0

Today is Friday - and my daughter comes home from college on fall break. She's going to go walking with me this afternoon. She should be used to the walking as that's how she gets around campus! I have now gone down another notch on my belt so that's a bonus. My intent is to do another walk tonight and my Strongtober challenge. Bring on the burpees! Not really having a problem with the calorie intake. I think I've mastered the art of watching my food intake and it's all clean eating so I'm doing great. Happy Friday everyone!0

goals for today:
1. stay within my calorie goal

My goal for this Friday and the entire weekend is moderation!
Today there is a confernce at work, in the afternoon my sister is arriving for a weekend visit, and all this menas I will be eating out most of the weekend. The worst will be the conference dinner, because it is a buffet.
So, although I will not be able to log accurately, and surely will exceed my calorie limit, I will try to not eat sample everything from the buffet, keep to the healthier choices, and generally not stuff myself ;-)
The next weigh-in should help with the motivation...0 -
Day 18 - stay within my calorie goal (or close to it)
Then I'm heading off on vacation for a week so I won't be posting until the 20th. I did get my weight updated on the spreadsheet!0 -
Day 18, going away for the Thanksgiving long weekend, so the nutrition portion will be a struggle as it will be all restaurant food. Exercise should not be an issue as we are going to the mountains with plenty of walking and hiking. Today I did my Jillian Michaels dvd and went for a 5k walk before work.
Todays remaining goals:
continue logging
get 10k steps
water intake
swim in pool at hotel
stay close to calorie range0 -
Day 18 Goals:
- 10,000 steps
- 64 oz water
- Day 9, Level 2 - 30 Day Shred
- Stay within calorie goals

Happy Friday Everyone.
I failed yesterday on my goal of not going over on calories, but today isn't as bad. I have a weekend of work ahead of me so I'm hopping to stay busy. I know I'm not going to get workout time in but I figured that I can make it up by keeping on moving all day. Getting nervous about weigh-in in a couple days.0 -
Happy Friday Everybody!
My goals were great yesterday, although I did have a couple beers with dinner...Still within my calories.....
My goal for today is to not only get my workout in and stay under on my cal intake, but to walk 1.5 miles up hill to the mail box and then back for a total of 3 miles. Hopefully I can do this before dark (no street lights on a very busy one lane road).0 -
My goal today...clean clean clean!!! Get organized-so far so good!
Water...why is so hard to maintain water intake?
Focus T25 and calisthenics
Find more fun whole30 recipes to feed my family!
Good luck all!! Happy Friday!

I'm with mizzbugsy on cleaning today. I am also planning on finishing the mission in Zombies, Run! I am off on eating and already pretty much broke. I may even end up having to get assistance with food later in the month due to poor planning at the beginning of the month.0

I'm sorry to hear that - good on you for continuing to make progress on your goals while remembering him!

I've found it really helpful when money was tight to make the most of the affordable ingredients and not lose sight of my goals. It's also worth checking with your local churches and charity organizations for temporary assistance. Getting government assistance can be a long process, and food pantries exist to help in times of need. I hope things improve for you!
Today my goals include (1) going to the library during my break to check in, which is exactly what I'm doing now.
In addition I'm looking to (2) stay under calories and (3) do some form of active recovery. I had a long day outside for our staff development day yesterday, plus used the stairmaster, rode the bike, and walked at the gym. I'm super sore, so I'm thinking of I'll do a yoga session at home with some foam rolling. Maybe I can convince my husband to do some massage too. My last goals are to (4) keep my sodium/water intake balanced and (5) make a homemade dinner with plenty of calcium.
Tomorrow I'm doing a platelet and plasma donation, so I can't take any aspirin products and need to keep my calcium intake up to prevent cramping/discomfort when the saline solution to help with clotting is returned to me minus my platelets. I'm definitely motivated to keep doing things right when it will influence my donations!0 -
Yesterday I did not do the planned C25K, but I did 30 pushups, 30 crunches, and 30 bridge lifts while watching tv, so that's something.
Goals for today:
- log everything
- C25K, even if hubby and son don't want to do it
- plan for a healthy Saturday so I can post a loss on Sunday0 -
Went down in a ball of ice cream flames yesterday but I am determined to not let that stop me from meeting my goals today.0
