    3. 3 for 3 on prepping my produce
    4. 2 new friends this week, making it 7 for the month :)
    5. I've also set some rules up for late night snacking and followed them for 21 days straight

    My April goals:
    1. Keep my streak going by continuing to all my food w/o fail every day.
    2. Break out of my cooking rut and try at least 2 new recipes I can add to my regular rotation.
    3. Start a Gratitude Journal and write at least a sentence in it every evening.

    Tried another new recipe this week: baked potatoes stuffed w/tuna, artichoke hearts & fresh basil w/capers. A winner! Remembered to jot down something each evening in my Gratitude Journal, so another success. And kept my tracking streak up. It's been a challenging week and it hasn't been pretty, but it's tracked to the nth degree.

    Congratulations on doing so great with your goals this week! That stuffed potato recipe sounds delicious. Can you share it?

    LOL Well, I never listed my goals for last week but I did pretty well with them anyway! I was in New York for the last half of the week at a conference, so hotel room, banquet, hotel or restaurant food and I actually LOST almost 2 pounds! I had decided to just eat instant oatmeal in my room for breakfast so no heavy meals at the beginning of the day, plus we wound up walking to a local diner three times so I was able not only to get in some of the exercise I usually get but i could also choose from a much larger choice of foods to eat.

    I'll start - my goals for April
    1. Lose 7 pounds - I've hit a plateau and I am going to beat it!
    2. Increase my exercise to 5 workouts/week - work on increasing my back strength
    3. Eating healthier - purchase my produce and prep it for the week each Saturday - I make better choices when it's prepped and ready to grab
    4. Make at least one new friend on MFP each week

    So here's how I did:
    1. Lost 6.5 pounds - oooooooooh so close, but a half a pound is a half a pound - so I get a 'B'
    2. I did not hit this in the first two weeks but did for week 3 & 4 - another 'B'
    3. Went 4 for 4 on this one and it really is helping 'A+'
    4. Thanks to some of you, I made 8 new friends this month 'A+'
    5. I also added a goal which set up rules for late night snacking and went 28 days in a row 'A+'

    So I'll give myself an 'A-' for the month which I'm good with. :smile:

    Fabulous job you guys! I succeeded in doing weights at least once a week. Sorry, but I hate it, find it incredibly boring. Made it thru the month with no sugar binges, as long as I make it thru tomorrow.

    Still alive and tied to MFP.

    Going to be sporadic for about a week more re: posting. Will be trying to catch up on the news of others as I read through posts. Various dr appts for myself, wife & 84 yr old father-in-law etc.

    Started today by burning 334 calories doing 60 minutes of walking treadmill gym before 6am. Then it was time for…

    BREAKFAST of Champions Chicken wrap ( CALORIES 193) - Romaine Salad, 1.5 Cups (85g); John Soules Foods - Chicken Breast for Fajitas, 3 oz (85g); Tumaros - Oat With Flax Wrap, 1 wrap; Harry and David - Artichoke Salsa, 2 tbsp; Tuscan Seasoning Shak'r, sprinkle

    Hope everyone has a great Thursday! Nice to see the sun today!

    There was a lot of good progress in the month of April. Congratulations to you all. I will make some goals for May. Now that I am more comfortable with measuring and logging and am getting more of a fitness routine in place, and have this group to interact with, I think I am ready to set specific goals and see how well I can do.
