    Goals for Friday:
    1. Get everything at work done so I can enjoy next week guilt free - I did, it took forever!
    2. Choose carefully at dinner tonight but still enjoy it.- No, I worked late so a trip to the cinema and followed by dinner at a seafood place turned into flopping on the sofa with a pizza and a dvd. I was too tired to mind really.:blushing:
    3. Walk at lunch - No lunch break just worked through.

    Good morning all you lovely ladies (and the occasional gent that wonders through)!

    I am off work for the week and I couldn't be happier. I'm not going anywhere I'm going to strip the horrendous textured wall paper:sick: in my living room that has been bothering me every day since I moved in. Not everyone's idea of a good time but its going to make such a difference and I just love painting walls!:laugh: Yup mental. I think its all time I spent putting painting galleries at uni.

    Any way today's goals:
    1. Under on calories
    2. Plenty of water
    3. Some sort of exercise
    4. Finish clearing the living room & get going
    5. Second colour in friends brithday lino print

    Hope you all have a wonderful day!

    Goals for the weekend:
    1. Water!!!--No
    2. Log my foods (even if it's on paper!).--No.
    3. Get my shelves done.--No.
    4. Get the veggies outside.--Yes.

    Well, the shelves didn't get done but the veggies are in their large containers by the back fence and SOME grocery shopping was done. Also got a bunch of weeds pulled.
    Otherwise, it was NOT a good weekend, food- and water-wise. Back to tracking and drinking my water!

    Goals for May 9:
    1. WATER!!!!(I always have a hard time with this outside of work!)
    2. Log my foods--healthy choices and check portion sizes!
    3. Finish the yardwork--reseeding the grass, etc.
    4. Bed by 9:30.

    Have fun with the living room redo, Kim! I like doing stuff like that, too. The only reason the shelves didn't get stained was that I spent more time than I planned working on the yard.

    Goals for May 10:
    1. Water.--Yes.
    2. Log my food and watch choices and portions.--Mostly logged but portions were good!
    3. Remember to buy the grass seed!--Yes! And pulled up the dead weeds and reseeded the bare spots.

    Welcome, Rivera and Lisa Marie! Some of us copy and paste our previous post but some of us click on the 'quote' near the bottom of each post. It's up to you how you want to report in!

    Over all, yesterday was a pretty good day. The overindulgences of the weekend kept me from losing this week but I also didn't gain so that's okay. I hope to see a loss next week, though!

    I am going to try a yoga routine (as soon as I am done here) that I found on Netflix. It's called Yoga for Aches and Pains and I am hoping it will help with my morning aches.

    Goals for May 11:
    1. Water.
    2. Yoga.
    3. Log my food and be careful of portion sizes.
    4. Bed by 9:30.

    Rivera, I find it easiest to just find the thread under My Topics when I want to come back!! It's easy to find! Welcome to you and LIsa-Marie! Glad to have you!

    And Leela, yes it's finally over!!! I have summer classes starting in a week but it won't be nearly as hectic! I'm just waiting on one more grade. Thank goodness.

    Just a little update! I woke up and ran today and it felt soooo good (even though I couldn't run very far... yet. haha)

    have a great day everyone!!!

    Welcome Lisa Marie and Rivera!

    Today was a strange sort of day. Had to dash to my brother's after work to collect my wellies from my mum as she was babysitting my nieces. Was fun seeing everyone but by the time I got back home it was too late to put the laundry on. Had dinner with them which was lovely. Have pretty much got everything sorted for my trip.

    I'll share with you all where I'm going tomorrow night when I post goals for Friday. I'm dreading it but trying to embrace it! Let's just say I'm a city girl but I'm going to have to embrace my being at one with nature side!!

    Have a great day!

    Morning Everyone,

    Welcome newbies!

    Kathy - I hope he yoga works for you.

    Nam - Lol, can't wait to hear where you're going!

    I had far too much fun yesterday. I went up to London to meet a friend and see the new Miro exhibition at the Tate. I had a brilliant time, rather too many drinks though and I'm really feeling it today. The prospect of standing up a ladder and sanding walls down with a power sander didn't really cross my mind last night. Muppet. Ah well on the up side my friend uses this site too (she called cuttingandsticking) and she was looking really lovely. It really reminded me of what's possible and inspired me to keep trying.

    Thursdays goals:

    1. Healthy choices
    2. Nip to the supermarket for so can actually make healthy choices
    3. Water. Lots and lots of water, maybe the first with a paracetamol
    4. More on the walls

    Have a lovely day!
