Good morning everyone!
Its been a quiet few weeks on the board and i know how crazy the last few weeks of summer can get, so stop in set some short term goals and support your fellow MFP buddies!
Mini goal: plan for your future, big or small share with us something coming up, and how it ties into your current journey! Lets do some emotional well being!

My goals this week,
1) stick mostly to the menu i planned for the week
2) drink more water, i started to slip into soda again, had at least 2 a day almost every day, and didnt make my water
3) get me and my husband out to exercise
Mini goal:
Weight i need to loose my 23 lbs to get me under 300 right now for weight goals thats all i can handle, this is my biggest goal. Buying fresh food and staying away from restaurant will help us save money which will help us pay off debts. By winter i want to be able to buy another vehicle, my husband and i share one van and it makes me crazy lol! Once i have a vehicle i can drive all the time i can go to the gym after work! Its all one big plan to get to the gym more often.

Goal: aiming for 6 days of exercise this week. I really want to make it a habit. The bike is sitting in my bedroom so there aren't any valid excuses.0

This week, my goals are to:
1) get to Curves 3 times
2) walk daily
3) log daily
Yeah, they are pretty simple but that's what I need to do.
Mini-goal: I have completed an updated weightloss goal sheet since the last one was over two years ago. This leaves me with the first goal of losing 17 lbs. I have figured out 3 obstacles and ways to overcome them as well; keeping the kitchen clean, exercise throughout the day in different activities, and maintaining a consistent schedule (and following it). I have scheduled in my activities so I really can't say "I don't have time". I really am going to try to stick to this as it helps make everything in my life easier if I can manage my time well. And if my life is easier, I am usually healthier.0 -
My Goals for this week
1. Get at least 5000 steps every day, hopefully closer to 8000. (Today isn't a good day for that, looks like I need to do some walking tonight.
2. This weekend, try out the 5 km route I have signed up for.
3. Get rid of more stuff in my house. The clutter is starting to affect me and my weight loss focus.
4. Pick up on my water consumption again, starting to slip on that.
Mini Goal: I've signed up for CIBC Run (walk) for the cure, breast cancer fund raiser. So as part of that, I need to train. I may start to try and get to the first level of Cto5k. Maybe run intervals for the race. Oh my that seems too high a goal, but at the beginning of 2015 I would have said I couldn't run a block, and now I can. Who knows.0 -
Two days of rain = grumpy. I stayed under calories but they weren't the healthiest. Tomorrow is a new day, right?0

Added Goal: don't peter out logging for dinner/evening stuff. I've been lax the past couple days0

Been another quiet week here, and i have been part of that quiet! I hate this part of summer, i am terrified to go outside, the kids are bored of summer, things are kinda crazy at work, and i just want to sleep a full night.
I am doing well with my goals, drinking water instead of Soda, sticking to a preplanned menu, not snacking at night, and being more active. Though my husband has not been!
I am trying to keep in my head that i only need to loose 23 lbs and that i do not need to be "skinny" i just need to be healthy. I need to be able to walk around the park and get up from sitting on the floor.
And now i need to get to work!!

I made the mistake last night of looking at myself in the mirror sideways. It was horrible, like Jabba the Hutt. Not a good motivator for me. I have to concentrate on doing this for my health and feeling better.0

Lokihen, yup i do that sometimes too and think omg how did my stomach move down there! dont let it hurt you!!
Well this week went good eating wise and i finally slept for 6 hours last night and i am starting to feel more human!
Next week i need to sleep a lot lol0 -
Yep, the night comes and meh, can't be bothered. The first few week's I've been here have been good, but lately I've been petering out. Yesterday I did log everything. Even entered the recipe for the buns my wife made, I had two they were lovely, but after adding up the calories, they were not healthy buns and so that upped my calories to over.
but at least I logged them.

I think most people struggle with that! Half the time i finish logging in the morning!
One thing that may work is to pre-log your day and then make adjustments later, or set an alarm for logging time! Alarms help!!!0 -
Feeling a little sorry for myself; it's my birthday and life worked out so I'm alone today. Normally I wouldn't mind but today I do. Anyway, not eating cake but I did splurge and have mcdonald's for lunch.0

Happy birthday!!!!! Why are you alone, can you call a friend??? Gayle Minneapolis0

Friends are in the city and I don't feel like driving there on a weekend. Family is away. When I got tired of feeling sorry for myself I went out and cleaned the chicken coop. Just feeling bleah.0
