so my day started out well had a banana, spinach smoothie and toast for breakfast,
went to the chopped leaf for lunch (had a rice salad bowl) it was really good. Then I had to go get a shot and that was the end of me. Not much water, no exercise. Just finished some crackers. Tomorrow should be a better day 0 -
Yesterday went not as good for me too.
Food - ended up eating a full sized butterfingers and drinking 2 packets of cocoa...
Water - only 40oz, and feeling dehydrated this morning.
Exercise - 20 squats0 -
Hi Everyone
Yesterday was not good, and so far today is not going to be good. I hate this time of year its busy season at work and I am a stress eater.
Water has been much better hitting at least 40 oz which is probably 3x what I have been getting the last couple weeks.
Hopefully I can get out early enough to go for a walk and cook something for dinner and lunch tomorrow instead of going out.
Good Luck to you all in your goals this month.0 -

Lunch: Chicken salad with Ritz crackers, carrots with ranch dip, and strawberries and cantaloup
Snack: Cheese squares and an apple
Dinner- Chilli beans with cheese, sour cream, and crackers
Evening snack (sweet)- 1/2 cup fat free chocolate ice cream and cup of milk
Water- 32 oz (really wasn't thirsty after eating all that fruit LOL) but that is about 32 oz more than I usually drink so that's a plus

but Monday was the first day and I think I did pretty good not being prepared
Yesterday was good. I managed to overcome the need to eat junk when I got home and was able to turn away from the cookies and doughnuts and did not have a regular soda. Had half a diet pepsi at lunch and a 12 oz can of diet pepsi with dinner

Happy Tuesday every one!
What area of health do you feel successful at?

for me I feel pretty good with my exercise routine and I am getting enough sleep. I really don't have any stress so that is not a factor in my life right now. Food and diet, family and friends need more work.
breakfast I had some toast and juice
lunch I had a banana and some crackers
dinner not sure yet
not feeling a hundred percent from yesterday.
I did an exercise routine this morning though.0 -
I do well in friends and family, sleep, and generally stress - not always. Food and exercise leave lots of room for improvement.
Food today... OVER ATE by a lot. Just lost sight of the goal I guess. Can't do this tomorrow else I'll be hurting diet wise
Water. 60ox which is awesome
Exercise - 15 pushups....
Tomorrow my goal is to workout at least 10 mins0 -
Tuesday Check In
Food: Same as yesterday though with 20 oz soda at lunch
Water: Four refills
Exercise: None. Got way to busy after work with voting and other errands
I feel like I do very well health-wise with family and friends. I have a great group of people in my life and I am fine with cutting people out of my life who don't deserve me time or energy. I think I get enough sleep , 6 hours most nights, but I have never been a morning person so it never feels like I get enough. I think I have a healthy way of maintaining and dealing with my stress, so I don't see that as an issue. As always, it just comes down to committing to exercise and healthy eating, which sometimes does get put to the way side.0 -
Tuesday Check-In
Food: Breakfast-vanilla yogurt, boiled egg, orange, whole wheat English Muffing with spray butter and strawberry spread (>500 Calories)
Lunch: Chicken salad with Ritz crackers and baby carrots with Ranch dipping sauce (right at 500 calories
Snack: Apple, cheese squares, and some peanuts
Dinner: Roast with potatoes and carrots, rice (really didn't eat much rice), 2 rolls, and green beans
Snack (sweet): 1/2 cup pineapple, 1bar of a fun size kit kat, 2 starburst pieces, 1/2 cup fat free chocolate ice cream, and 1 cup milk
I went over my calories by quite a bit yesterday. I was really hungry when I got home decided to have some pineapple. Then my loving hubby was eating a kit kat and fed it to me and really not thinking I ate it (70 darn calories in that one bar!!). But looking at it I know I still did better than I used to do. It used to be nothing for me to come home and eat some potato chips, maybe a slim jim, some cookies, then eat dinner, then eat a little debbie cake or cereal or both! Thinking about it now it makes me sick but I know I am making the changes needed now so no more looking back, only looking forward
Water: 50 oz (getting better with this)
Exercise: 20 minute moderate-fast pase walk
I am not really sure what I do well health-wise right now. This week it is counting everything I eat and drinking more water 0 -
Why Nutrition Wednesday! - Why put different colors on your plate?
Because it's a sign of diverse nutrition!
"Nature has found a clever way to highlight the nutrients in foods: different nutrients actually impart different colors to the foods they’re in. For instance, the anthocyanins that turn blueberries blue can also keep your mind sharp, the lycopene that turns watermelon and tomatoes red may also help protect against prostate and breast cancers, and the beta carotene that makes carrots and sweet potatoes orange can help keep your bones strong, your eyes healthy and boost your immune system."

Wednesday Check in:
Food: Same as Monday, even the 12 oz Diet Pepsi. I did snack on some fun size kit kats and milky ways, but it's shark week and I didn't go to high on the carbs so I'm giving myself some leeway on that.
Water: Four refills
Exercise: 20 minutes on the arc trainer in the morning, a half hour arm circuit after work
I feel like I get a lot of green on my plate as well as white. I don't think I ever get much of yellow.0 -

Those are interesting facts.
for breakfast I had a spinach and peach smoothie, and some raisin toast, for lunch I had homemade soup and crackers with cheese, for dinner I am having a fake chicken burger. 1 brownie and a protein bar for snacks. For exercise I did 30 day shred this morning and tonight when I get home from school I will do 1/2 hour on my cross country ski machine. Hope you all have a great day. 0 -
Thursday Check in:
Food: Breadless sausage egg and cheese with avocado breakfast sandwich for breakfast, the same casserole for lunch, and then for dinner I felt like indulging so I have a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Definitely went over on my calories and carbs. I also indulged myself soda wise. One 20 ounce at lunch and then I had a cup of it (maybe around the same ounces with my burger).
Water: four refills and I had a bottle of water at the movie theater
Exercise: About an hour of walking

Friday check in
Breakfast I had a banana and blueberries, weeds and seeds and a protein bar with some juice.
Lunch i had a tomato, cheese, onion, pea shoots on whole wheat bread sandwich.
Dinner I'm going to have a stir fry with rice.
I did a ballet body sculpt workout this morning tonight after school I will do 1/2 hour on my cross country ski machine.
the next couple days may be a little harder as we are going away. I'll have to figure out how to keep track of my food:)
It would be nice to hear from others considering that there are 100 of us in this group.
Anyways have a great day 0 -
Sorry there aren't more people posting.
Friday was my father's birthday. So I did well for breakfast and lunch but over on dinner due to alcohol and cake.
Exercise was lawn work earlier that day. Did a task via bucket vs buggy to purposely burn more calories.
Water. Wayyyyy under as it was replaced by coffee juice and pop. Not good.
Happy Saturday everyone. And no matter what others are doing, work towards your goals. Don't give up on something YOU want.0 -
Saturday check in
Food. Barely over due to father's birthday breakfast.
Exercise. Lots of walking from malls, stores, and cleaning up the yard.
Water. Still under...
Today was a great day but not as awesome of health day as others I've had.0 -
Saturday
breakfast was blueberries, strawberries, weeds and seeds and raisin toast.
lunch was a pb and jam sandwich with a fibre 1 brownie
dinner was lattice fries. (not the healthiest but they were yummy. and I stayed within my calorie count.
Went away today for the weekend. So I got up early to exercise before we left. Feel good about that, couldn't get my second exercise in tonight, but that is okay. Hope you all had a great day:)0 -
Sunday
Breakfast - 1 egg, a little cheese, and 1.5oz of sausage
Lunch - 3oz red meat, 1/2 baked potato, 1 roll
Dinner - Football food, chips, salsa, quesadillas... sour cream... yeah... binged.
Exercise - None. Negative
Water - Low. That's part of the problem with my motivation - dehydation.
My fiance is going to be gone this week so I want to use this time to clean, workout, and DRINK lots of water. I'm going to make bulk meals for lunch and dinner that way I have more time in the evenings for maybe working out or winterizing.
Honestly I'm feeling low today. Not sure if it's the lack of water the last few days, being worn out from this weekend, or having just binged... Bah.
New week tomorrow. And the night's not done yet. I'm going to succeed. I've lost 16lbs thus far. I want to lose 10 more by mid January. Now's not the time to give up!

Sunday Check in:
Food: Honestly quite bad
Hash browns for breakfast
Pizza for lunch
Leftover pizza for dinner
and two 20 oz sodas
Water: Maybe three to four cups
Exercise: I helped my mom do a bunch of moving on Sunday (hence why the food section is so crappy). So I got a decent amount of exercise. Woke up really sore today.
I am sorry I don't always check in on the weekend. My laptop at home doesn't seem to like MFP. :-/0
