    Hopefully you ended up with a good car? Or still looking? Good luck to you! Car troubles are not fun!

    I ended up with exactly what I wanted and knew that going in :) I was even pre-qualified for the loan. The car dealership was just having issues that day.

    @azulvioleta6 - Congrats! What type of car did you get. It truly sucks how long that process takes. We had an appointment at noon to look at a car, I finally left the dealership after 7. :open_mouth:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    from yesterday

    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 water

    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!
