TeamLeela thank you for opening this post for everybody. I would be happy to join. I really like small goals. I'm on MFP since 2 weeks and It really helped me improve my eating. Respecting my calories and I added lots of veges and fruits. My main problem now is that I don't move. I used to hurt myself 3 weeks ago and stopped rowing training. I now have to do it again at a slower pace and with days off. Sure it will help me to report daily.
my goals for tomorrow.
1: 5000 meters on the rower
2: 1.5 liter of water
3: clean bedroom floor
4: keep off the computer for an hour in morning and 1 hour in afternoon
5: go to sleep before 11:30
I will be very happy if I do all this !0 -
Hey Ladies! All of you have been on my mind and it has helped me get going. It looks like people are doing a pretty good job on your goals. It's also great to see what people think are worthwhile goals for themselves. It gives me ideas of what I should focus on doing. I'm still working on my weekly goals.
-I have been doing a great job of recording everything in my diaries and learning this new system. It's been fun discovering all this site has to offer. I haven't really eaten the most healthy foods but I have recorded everything. It has been a learning experience for sure! I know it's really not a good idea to eat Habit BBQ Bacon Char Burgers if you want to eat more than once in a day... WOW the calories!
-I also started cleaning. I have lived in this place for almost seven years now and I am used to moving every two or three. Everyhting needs deep cleaning because there are some things I haven't moved in many years. This goal might take me two weeks!
-This week I have been flossing my teeth every other day which is more than I have done all six months. I have my dentist appointment on Thursday. :bigsmile: Brusha Brusha Brusha!!! Floss Floss Floss!!!
Thanks for all of the encouragement! Keep up the great work!!!0 -

3. work out for 15 minutes before going to work.--No.
4. Bed by 9:30. (Yeah, right--gonna be noisy again!)--I went to bed but evidently nobody in my neighborhood got the message that personal fireworks are illegal within the city limits!
I actually did pretty well today. Had a few chipsbut mostly kept to the better choices. We forgot about the corn so I'll blanch it and freeze it for another day. The salmon was excellent and we also had sauted vegetables and various salads (green, potoat and pasta). I had LOTS of the green salad and just a spoonful (small) of the others. It was a beautiful day.
Today will be even warmer than yesterday. Guess we're having our week of summer! (Local joke.)
Momma--I'd do your grocery shopping but I haven't gotten ours done, yet, either! (Thank goodness for leftovers!)

The month has started off a little rocky. I am disappointed in myself as now there are only 26 days in this month and not 31. I will have to work extra hard if I want the pounds to come off this month. I woke up with a carb belly ache when usually I wake up famished. But today is a new day, that's why I love this challenge so much!0 -

The last day with goals was really good for me. I probably should have done this today, cause I went all over the place at dinner, not following my pre-planning!July 4:
1) Piano practice YES - 1.5 hours, so fun!
2) Do some Zumba, whether I go to class or not YES - went to class
3) D3 W1 - YES
4) Follow pre-planned meals - YES
June 6:
1) Pre-plan and stick to it!!! Why do I go for junk where there's healthy stuff in the house?
2) Earlier to bed
3) Piano practice, I'm starting to get better at reading music! In truth, I didn't think this would happen. I've always known HOW to read music... slowly and with much thought, but it's coming a lot easier now, in just a couple hours of making sure I'm actually reading the note names
4) D5W2 Ri30
5) Pack more for school - only 58 days now!!0
