    READY........................ SET.......................... GOOOOOOOOO.......................................... :drinker:


    I am excited to see what the new week will bring. It’s always interesting!! LOL
    This past week I had a 1.4 weight loss. Could/Should have been more but it was NOT a gain, so I’m ecstatic!!
    New goals for this week include sticking with my Strive for Five!! My husband has 4 DR appointments in Pittsburgh over 2 days so I will be mindful of spending 3 1/2 to 4 hrs in the car each day. :-( Makes for rough Lunch Times as well. We usually grab lunch on the road.



    My plan will be for at least 5/7 days

    Strive For Five.
    1) Walk 20/30 min.
    2) Exercise something
    3) Stay within my calories
    4) Stay within my Sodium
    5) Prepare & Paint Bathroom


    :drinker: GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!! AND REMEMBER TO STAY HYDRATED!! :drinker:

    LAST WEEKS= I will be aiming to working out 5-6 times at the gym.
    gonna stick to salads and oat meal for breakfast and lunch to get rid of the water weight i gained this week from my first week in canada.

    Umm...had salads everyday...pretty much so didn't do to bad.
    Lost 2.3 lbs so lost the water weight.

    did not get to the gym as many times as I wanted to. That will change this week
    I will get to the gym 5-6 times this week.
    I hope to lose 2-4 lbs this week.
    Also I will walk for an half an hour in the mornings.

    Alright, something easy I guess:

    Stay under my calorie goal all seven days of the week!

    Something difficult (but I know I can do it):

    Work out in six of the seven days in the week!

    New to this... but looking for something small to get me started.

    1) Water and pepsi max only - no other softdrink/juice which I drink way too much of. Breakfast EVERY morning, oatmeal or an up and go on the mornings that I don't have time.
    2) No fast food at all this week. I work next to a supermarket, so there is no excuse to grab something fried and greasy instead of a salad and tuna.

    My week will be Monday - Sunday

    apple everyday.
    stay below calories for day.

    Good luck everyone, we can do it!

    The last 2 weeks I've set too many goals that I wasn't able to meet. I'm rethinking things.

    Goal 1: remember to take my vitamins daily(sounds easy but not remembering to take my pills is how I ended up with 3 kids!)

    Goal 2: clean out/organize 1 area every day(thanks mssdee)

    Goal 3: Wear pedometer daily and increase every day at least a few steps! I'll be posting by step instead of by mile this week!

    And I'm going to leave it at that!

    My goals for this week!

    Exercise daily. I got sick last week and started slacking off. I want to join Curves, so that plus walking on the other days.
    Continue my goal of drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.

    This is just what i need to get back on track!!

    So for my fist goal...i am going to limit myself to 1-2 latte's this week! I have to take small steps at breaking this addiction i have for coffee!

    For my next goal...i am going to say NO to any alcohol...its so hard with summer being here and everything! All my friends are having bbq's and whatnot...i know i can do this though!!

    My last goal for the week...to lose 1 pound! i know i can do this too!! :)

    Good luck to everyone and their goals!! :)

    Okay I'm in again! 2 weeks in a row! go me!

    Unfortunately that is about the only goal I got done this week. So I am gonna try a little less pressure for myself.

    1)Water (gallon a day)
    2) 2 morning workouts
    3) Show up next week to do it again (and try to check in!)

    TOM showed up with 4-6lbs of luggage for the week... so hopefully I will see a loss this coming friday!

    And looks like we both need to ease up on ourselves as well! No sense in making a bunch of goals we don't meet! I believe mssdee told me "babysteps!!!"

    Adding a goal: In keeping with my pedometer goal, I will park in the farthest spot I can find at every parking lot!

    Again parking at farthest spot in the lot, and getting back to lunch walks. Keeping a calorie deficit of 500 or more daily to loose another lb this week.
