    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No, I told myself I would eat in moderation. Yeah, that went out the window.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Accounted for all the calories I consumed, even though I was 1000+ calories over my limit.

    What would I have done differently? I wish I would have ate half of everything during Father's Day.

    What is today's personal goals? Day 6 of my strength exercises, it's a 30 day challenges of lunges, crunches, push-ups and squats.

    Mood today? Really crabby. My kids are a bit more needier than usual today. No wonder I used the excuse for so long, kids are definitely something that take my time away from exercising. But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

    Sun - Even after a rough day of eating, I jogged a mile and got in my walk with my Husband and kids.

    Mon - My Father's Day cheat day was just that, I didn't continue today!

    It took me a long time to lose my weight but it really kicked off when I changed my routine. I do more weight exercises now.

    It's really hard!!! I have the exact same issue. I look in the mirror and will my body to get to the size I want it to, and it's super frustrating to keep up the daily grind and see slow (but steady) results. The only thing I can do to help myself is think of the size I started and think about how I'm already lighter than that. Also reminding myself that I'll never hit my goal unless I keep up with the consistent daily work.

    One day at a time, one meal at a time, one workout at a time. We'll get there.

    Hello ladies, going away again for a week of sailing our boat. Leaving tomorrow but will have my tablet to report
    on the Newsfeed. I hope things calm down soon so I can get back to entering on this thread again. It
    keeps me accountable. No scale on the boat, scary. I will track my exercise everyday and any news.

    Enjoy your long weekend and I hope to be back soon. Happy 4th to all my American friends.

    Istpaul - Lovely picture of yourself. Glad to see you back!
    Carbs are good and bad. Just google what the good carbs are and stick to them.

    I am up at the cottage for a week so I won't be checking in this week but will continue when I get home on Monday. We paid for WI Fi here at the cottage so glad I can come up and check in.

    Keep up the good work guys and see you soon.

    Welcome back lstpaul!!!!

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't set any
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? went out to eat and made good choices - grilled fish with veggies
    What would I have done differently? nothing
    What is today's personal goals? track food
    Mood today? :)

    Gained some weight this spring\summer. The traveling for work has stopped and I'm getting back on track. Starting with making good food choices then I will add back in some exercise. I walked a lot in Disney a couple of weeks ago (18,000 day) but having a tough time getting to the Y. (This always happens in the summer.) I think I am going to stay away from the elliptical for a while. I haven't had any hip pain since I've stopped using it. When I do exercise it's been walking or swimming.

    I hope everyone is having a great summer!

    I hope to be more consistent on that one. It has been a busy summer!
