    Tuesday goals

    Cut out flavoured water enhancers this week!

    So my goal is to be vigilant and drink lots of water! Plain or a bit of fresh lemon squeezed in.

    But those darn water flavors make me want to eat more. Ugh. So they have to go!

    Scale goal...i want to see 220s this month! Goodbye 230s you have been my buddy for the last couple months. I would like to reacquaint myself with Mr 220s now!

    Have a great day everyone!

    TUESDAY GOAL .... to keep my food intake within the calorie limit!!! The last couple days were OK, but today has been crazy ... I ate a whole bag of crackers and half pint of ice cream .... that is what happens when I am bored and I don't exercise!

    I need to go back to having a routine; this situation of not working or having something specific to do is nuts!! Luckily I got some work this week (I work freelance), so at least I think that will help.

    I am really looking forward to dropping pounds more consistently ... I really don't know how to regain the focus I had before the summer.

    Do I sounds like I am freaking out? :s LOL I think I do :D

    Hello all!

    My name is Katie and I live in Wisconsin, USA! I have always struggled with weight - I went through high school at around 280 pounds and gained more during college topping out at about 315. After college I got my weight back to about 290 and then took a job working full time taking care of elite competition horses. During this job I lost down to 247 as my lowest. I felt so good and so much better, despite still being considered obese. (I am 5' 7"). A year ago I moved to Wisconsin and left the horse job behind for an office job. Now I sit and work 12 hour days on a computer right outside of my fully stocked kitchen. Since moving I went from about 260 to now being a high of 307. I can't believe how easily I gained all the weight back. It is time for me to get motivated and start having a healthier life style again.

    For my Tuesday goal: I want to track what I eat all week and stay under my calorie goal.

    Just need some motivation. I need to lose exactly 100 pounds for my health and sanity. Anyone know of any good fitness/diet gurus on Instagram? My goal is to start counting macros and working out every day.

    Lol you did great over the summer on vacation and while you moved. Sometimes we all need a short break. Just remember not to stock break foods at your home though :p jealous about the ice cream...it took all my willpower yesterday not to stop for some. Unfortunately i am commuting to the city today and had breakfast out already cause i was running behind. Sigh almost my whole calorie intake in 1 meal :/

    Tuesday Goals ... now that I am feeling better I realize half the month has flown by and none of the items on my September to-do list have been completed, some are started but still in the process. I won't berate myself though because I did lose a full 8 days to illness where I was feeling too sick to do much more than drag myself to the kitchen to cook a simple meal and run the dishwasher when it got full. However, I did get the laundry started on Sunday and yesterday I cleaned up the kitchen sink and counter so I could cook a 4-serving roast chicken and vegetable recipe, as well as cutting the grass front and back. Today I really should do more laundry and clean up the mess on the dining room table (clutter, clutter, clutter everywhere). The big project for September is to get the garage cleaned out and ready for fall and winter ... that snow blower has got to go to the repair shop, and a space for lawnmower storage needs to be made ready so everything fits.

    @jam5660 ... I saw a recipe for Easy Minestrone Soup from Food Network that I'm going to make this week ... it does use a couple of processed/prepared items so I might alter it to use whole foods instead ... but it sounds good and nourishing ... something we both need to get completely over our illness.

    The recipe makes 6 servings ...
    in a large dutch oven, over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter (or use olive oil) and sauce till translucent 1 chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 carrot sliced into rings. Lightly season with salt and pepper,

    Add 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 3 cups roughly chopped Swiss Chard leaves, 1 cup small pasta shells, 1 cup green beans cut into 1" pieces, 1 tsp dry oregano, 1 16-0z jar of Classico Italian Sausage and peppers pasta sauce, 1 15-Oz can rinsed and drained Cannelloni beans, 1 yellow summer squash (remove seeds if large) and 1 zucchini cut into half moon slices, and 1 cup water.

    Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the pasta is soft and the veggies are tender. Divide amongst 6 servings and top each with some ripped basil leaves and gratings of Parmesan cheese.

    Hi,

    I've been thinking about short and long term weight loss goals and wanted to share with you another mfp group I've found fun.

    If you like Harry Potter look at the Harry Potter book weight loss challenge. Each short term goals is connected to each of the books. Lots of little goals start to add up!

    I'd like to know if anyone else here is doing that challenge too!

    Anne

    Oh me oh my, I have got to get out of this funk! I don't know how! Got baby blues and am not happy with anything! Especially myself!
    Amazing reading your posts that a group of people could reflect so much in common. Am finding that refreshing!
    My goals this week:
    Try to get through each day without breaking down
    Continue keeping under calorie goal despite scale not moving
    Drink more water
    Do something for myself to feel good

    I think being in this group/thread is what I need so I don't feel alone and can read a bit of normal and hopefully get back to myself again.
