    Thanks for starting us up again Lee! Can't believe we're on part 10 already!

    Welcome to all the newbies! Hope you stick with this and find it as helpful as I do. It seems so simple setting daily goals but I find the act of writing them down motivates and encourages me to achieve them.

    I didn't get around to posting yesterday for today but generally did wel (apart from the chocolate after dinner)!

    Thursday's Goals:
    1. Water.
    2. Take lunch and some fruit from home.
    3. Combat or run or at least some form of exercise.
    4. DO NOT GO OUT AFTER WORK because otherwise I will fail on number 3!
    5. Don't proscrastinate at work. There is plenty to get done so just get on with it!

    Have a great day!

    Pam, I decided to answer your rhetorical questions:
    Ask yourself:
    Do my clothes feel better on. Can I wear things I couldn't before?
    Do I have more energy and am I more motivated in my other activities in life?
    Can I exercise more than I did before?

    My clothes do fit better. I tried on a skirt the other day and as I tried to walk in it, it fell off. Like most of my old "fat" clothes, they had an elastic band, so I couldn't loop a belt through it. Check my new profile pic, me, out of all people, wearing skinny jeans. I never thought I would in a million years. I couldn't even wear things like that in high school. Size 11 in juniors!!

    I have tons of energy, way more than even this time last year. I am super motivated to find a job and start the master's program in the fall (if all goes right!)

    I used to be the girl in zumba that hid in the back or made sure I was always out of the view of the mirror. Now I stand next to the instructor. There may be times where she stops and ties her shoe or grab a kleenex for her nose and points at me to motion everyone to watch me. How cool is that?! Once she even left out the room to go to the restroom and I did the routine for the next song. I didn't even notice when she came back in the room. So that's definitely a YES!

    I encourage everyone to answer the questions, too. It will give us a little more insight about who you are! I mean, we will potentially be together for the whole month of June and beyond! :)

    Morning!

    Wow, two days in and already at 2 pages, fantastic!

    Thanks for starting this months thread Leela!

    Pretty madly busy at the moment so I'm going to keep it short and sweet today. I'm Kim I'm fromt he UK and I've been using this fabulous thread for 6 or 7 months now and certainly would have dropped out of my new health life style a long time ago with out it. So a big thanks to all the lovely ladies on here who have kept me going.

    I've had some good news. I won't have to move for my partners new job and he won't have to be away 5 days a week! So happy.

    Goals for today:
    1. Run after work
    2. Be sensible at friends birthday lunch but still have fun.
    3. Water
    4. Tidy the house so I won't be embarrassed when my brother comes to stay tomorrow.

    Have a lovely day! See you later
    Kx

    Kim I am VERY glad that things have worked out for you!!!!

    Looks like everyone had a rockin' day yesterday!

    June 1 (yay)
    1.) water, it's 11 am and I haven't drank a drop!!!!!! I need to get on it!--YAY!!!:drinker:
    2.) make SMART choices. Right now the calories are my last issue. I need to wein myself from the junk again.--I THINK I DID PRETTY WELL.
    3.) Make it to church tonight.--YES I DID AND IT WAS A FUN TIME FOR THE KIDS AND MY BABY GIRLY GOT AN AWARD!


    Thursday June 2.
    1.) Gather food and create menu for Camping trip this weekend.--halfway completed this at 6am this morning.
    2.)water
    3.)pack clothes for camping.
    4.)don't forget to call dr to see what time my sons surgery is tomorrow. (I forget every single time!)
    5.) Again, make smart decisions. It shouldn't be as hard as I make it out to be. I need to not put myself into positions where I am starving and then there is unhealthy food choices.


    Hope everyone has a GREAT day. I will TRY to post over the weekend but do not know if I will have service at the campground. So if you don't hear from me, just keep me in your thoughts.
