Once I decided what I wanted, it was really quick. I put in what I though would be an opening bid by text at 5:00, by 8:00 I was driving away. They accepted my first bid, which I thought was REALLY low. I've never dealt with a car dealership before and was kind of surprised how easy it was. The hard part was having already spent 8 hours looking at/comparing other cars.
I got a Blue 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 with 93,000 miles on it. Not nearly as cool as the red Mustang that got wrecked, but still kind of zippy.
Those are good cars.
I hope so! Buying a car when you don't have much money is pretty stressful.0 -
Thanks. It's a wildlife sanctuary in Namibia that I've volunteered at 3 times so far... and will hopefully go again this year. I love it!
@feistyjojo: LOVE your new profile photo!!!!! Where were you for that? That's not part of your job/work is it? Anyway, how absolutely fun!!!0 -

Friday's goals:
- bust a gut at bootcamp. I need the exercise and release after a very busy week with no time to work out ☺
- hit calorie target, even with the 2 glasses of wine I will allow myself tomorrow night.0 -
So.. did really well at bootcamp.
Then got so stressed with work and just couldn't get it all done and have had such a busy week.
So will have to do a few hours tomorrow which really cheesed me off (I work for myself so no one to blame but me). So was feeling tired and grumpy so had a chocolate cake at the coffee shop whilst working with a colleague.
That helped to take me 150 over calorie target. Boo.
And.... given the week I've had and how I sometimes used to react to situations like that, it's ok.0 -
Saturday's goals:
- Clear all work by 1pm so I can enjoy the rest of my weekend
- get my gardening done: After going to garden centre, build the 'fruit cage', plant veggies and sweet peas, weed beds, tie back the raspberries. This will count as my exercise for the day
- Hit calorie goal
- Remember I'm doing well overall (lost 17 lbs now, 14 to go) and I CAN do this by my target date

Eat just mangoes all day0

Eat just mangoes and other fruits for just one day. Never done this in my whole life, I'll give it a try0

Yesterday's goal, drink my water target. Achieved.
Today's goal: Not to go above my calorie limits (always struggle at weekends)0 -
Weekends can be all over the place for me but I pre-tracked some meals for Saturday so that'll take off some stress.
Today I will:
Stay 2 steps ahead of my cravings.
Drink 8 + cups of water.
Journal
Walked 60min this am-done!
Be patient with others-breath.
Go to bed by 9:30.
Motivate my kids to do something active.

Thank you for this thread! Just what I need to help focus on my goals!
Today I will:
Eat healthy foods that I have prepared at home.
Drink at least 80 oz of water (drinking enough water on weekends seems to be a challenge for me).
Complete at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise.0 -

May 15. Today I will:
*Plan ahead for cocktail party I am going to tonight.
planned but had epic fail at party...alcohol is sinful...note to self...alcohol makes me want to eat poppers!!!!
*Log all food
* drink extra glass of water 3x a day 11,2,5
* walk 10,000 steps almost...9700 is good enough
* aerobics class at gym
Plan in place but plan not implemented correctly. But it was just one 2 hour period so in the scope of things I can move forward. In the past I would have not gotten back on track but my mindset is different now.
May 16th
*today I will log food and stay within limits
*7000+ steps
*be kind and forgiving of myself and not dwell on failures
*drink my water0 -
Just for today I will not let Saturday night derail my calorie goal. Just for today there will T-storms all night so after work I will not make any excuses and get on my stationary bike for at least an hour. Just for today.0

Didn't hit calorie goal. Had a completely pointless choc ice (I wasn't even hungry!!) after lunch. And chose to enjoy a couple of beers and wine this evening as my one completely kick back thing all weekend. Without the choc ice I would have hit target.
Learnig: Really, really check if I want/need a 'treat' before eating it. If it do... thoroughly enjoy it, rather than eating it without savouring and just wasting calories!0 -
Sunday's goals:
- relax and enjoy the day/my weekend before the insanity of next week working in France (3 x 14 hour days with clients AND speaking French) starts. Rest!!!
- Finish my gardening. ... I'll so enjoy the result!
- hit net calorie goal
- Prep healthy snacks to take to France
