- to go to bootcamp rain or shine ☺ AND I really pushed myself. Under calorie target again
And am just coming to that time of the month when I crave chocolate.
So tomorrow's goal (14th) is simply to stay within net calorie goal.
Not so good today. Over target due to biscuits and Nutella. Time of month means my body is screaming for sugar.
So goal for 15th:
- new day, so refocus
- do some exercise and eat under calorie target to compensate for today0 -
Just for today
1. Complete today's workout on The Daily Burn
2. Reach my 15 step goal by walking around the house (it's snowing again)
3. Drink 8 glasses of water.0 -

Now, It's Saturday! And I still have to work so I am going to repeat my goals again. Just for today I will.
1. Log or keep track of all food. I was perfect until about 10pm. Tired eating is a big uh oh for me.![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
2. Take a walk, Short or long, this makes me feel better. No. And I'm sorry I didn't
3. Drink water. Keep a full glass of water on my desk at all times. Well one out of three isn't bad anyway.
So I'm starting out fresh today. Just for today I will.
1. Get at least 10000 steps. I will get a long walk in.
2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
3. Relax and enjoy the day with family. I do not want to go to a birthday party but....spending time with the family is something I can enjoy.
Yesterday is over. Now all I can do is focus on today's goals and move forward.
Have a beautiful Sunday

Jess hang in there. I finally realized that if I am tired and trying to keep going anyway I tend to snack the whole time. So now if possible I just go to bed. And if that isn't possible I at least make sure most of my snacks are healthy fruits and veggies and stuff like that. Late shifts are hard on us.
Joan I hope you are doing OK. Be gentle on yourself for now.
And everyone.....you are making progress. Perfect? No but being aware of our slips is also progress. Keep going!0 -
Thanks for the support Jess! Today I am at work from 7a-7p- I'm always going in the kitchen and getting snacks-chips, ice cream, pudding
So my goal today is to eat what I brought- peaches, grapes and turkey hotdog with low fat bread. Stay out of that damn kitchen!!!
Drink 8 glasses of water
Good luck everyone!! Have a great day and stay on task!0 -

Hi everyone!!! I am sorry I have missed posting the last few days! Super busy and need to make this a priority again
I have been reading the posts and about how some feel like they have failed when they do not meet their goals. I get it but you have not failed. When we keep setting our goals we are challenging ourselves to be better & by setting goals that are hard shows we are serious about this. The only way we will fail is if we give up and stop believing in ourselves. Every day you come on here and post your goals you are that much closer to achieving them and you are successful already by doing the best you can.
Take a breath be thankful our minds are in this and know if we continue to try we will be better than that if we stop. I believe in ALL of us

Congrats for everyone on their goals and on keeping on posting and challenging themselves. @ruby70 Said it best in her last post!
I made my goals yesterday! Did better then my goals actually, and added a run to my exercise
Perhaps I need two rest days a week (I'll have to watch this and see)
Today is going to be a light day as tomorrow (mardi gras) will be a night out with friends so I will need energy and time to workout HARD tomorrow. Goals
1) Stay under my calorie goals
2) Workout for at least 30 min
3) Buy body revolution!*
*has anyone done this? I am getting a little off track with workouts as I am just doing random videos and running very occasionally, I think I need a plan to keep me on track 0 -

I'm on 7p-7a and they are brutal! My main goal for today is eat the healthy dinner/snacks I brought instead of hitting vending machine.
I also go my "long run" in before work! I was tempted to let it go because I was tired for night shifts, but I would only be even more tired tomorrow and didn't want to get too behind. 7 miles. And I'm dead now. LOL

Cheers, all. I am not new to MFP, but I've never gotten involved much with the community. I have been gaining for months, at my highest weight ever, and I have to try something different! I like the idea of posting small manageable goals and one day at a time. I feel overwhelmed with anything else right now. My longer-term goals are to lose 100 pounds by 2016, graduate from grad school in August, and go to Japan in celebration!
Monday 2/16:
1. Get up on time, no snooze button.
2. Resist eating out - eat packed lunch, and dinner with Mom.
3. Cleaning and schoolwork complete in the evening!0 -
After realising I was not eating 20% under my daily calorie limit, I have adjusted my math and considered exercise calories. So my goal for today is just to get the math right!

Just for today I will:
- Keep track of my food
- Go to kettle bells
- Take time to understand why I emotionally eat, learn from it and not beat myself up
- Take time to congratulate myself on successes0 -
Just for today, February 16th -
1. I will exercise at least 2 hours
2. I will take time to meditate
3. I will eat more veggies
4. I will journal0 -

It looks like we are getting a very snowy Monday here. Beautiful but it will make my trip to work a bit challenging. So, just for today I will
1. Take a walk. I hope to have a chance to bundle up and get outside.
2. Keep track of my food and water intake.
3. Stay positive and be patient. The weather may get in the way today, but I can adapt.
Let's have a Positive Monday Everyone!0 -
Good morning everyone! Looking at some great goals for the day. I've had a very stressful am so far been up since 4:30a, it's 7:30a now. It's sleeting here in Memphis and I am a Director of Nursing for 12 long term care homes for developmentally delayed adults and I'm feuding calls and trying to maintain nursing staff for all the nurses calling in due to weather. Going to try and go out later to the homes.
Just for today:
1) take deep breaths and take it one indicated thing at a time.
2) make it to the fitness center sometime today and do 55 minutes on the treadmill
3) stay at/ under 1200 cal
4) drink 6-8 glasses water
Well I'm a positive natured person and my motto at work is always. "We are going to have a good day! And "this too shall pass!"
Everyone have a great day and remember that every day is a new day so if yesterday you didn't meet your goal, you still have today. My other quote I like is "You only fail if you quit trying"0 -
I would love to join in as well!!!0

1. Work out (done!)
