    Just for today...ok some real goals!

    1 Bike ride
    2 Sweep up in workshop ( it's ankle deep in woodchips)
    3 1 hour's paperfiling
    4 Online form to fill in
    5 Stay on target with calories! Although it's Friday night!
    6 Don't let the stubborn plateau I have hit this fortnight sway my good streak
    7 More carpentry

    Sounds like a recipe for over-achievement? But I'm going to try.

    I'll jump in here. ;)

    Hectic travel day so all I ask of myself is:

    Enjoy my brief visit with the grandkids
    Exercise moderation in the lounge between flights

    I'll try to keep coming back so I will eventually get acquainted with the rules, customs, and people in this thread.

    Did all these although I didn't walk as many steps as I do during the week.
    Lost weight for the 5th weigh-in in a row since October last year. I always have in mind what I might weigh and still get a nice surprise when I see the figures.
    I'm finding hot water goes down more easily than cold water.

    Whenever I tried to post, most of my post got erased, even after checking with the preview. I think it has something to do with the smiley faces that I was adding from my computer. ???

    JFT - I'm going to enjoy baking and eating peanut butter cookies because I went mountain biking and burned over 600 calories. I earned it!
