With respect to being disappointed that you aren't meeting your goals, if I am struggling, I tend to alter my goals for a while, to make them easier to achieve. I hate feeling that I've failed, and I don't think it does me any good. There's always opportunity to increase the challenge at a later date when I am feeling stronger.
I have met my goals each day this week so far. It's been an easy week, everything falling into place for me. I wish the same for every one else
1) No sugar in my tea - 5/7
2) 5 fruits or veggies a day- 5/7
3) Exercise - 5/6
4) Review calendar and prep - 5/5
Happy weekend ladies!1 -
Julie, I don't know if I consider wine alcohol since in Europe and other countries they drink wine with several of their meals and there are a lot of good studies to say a cup of wine a day in moderation is good for the heart and certain cancers. But you know yourself. I thought maybe you were referring to hard liquor like vodka, jins, whiskies, etc.torontojulie wrote: »Happy Friday!
1) reduce alcohol (12/30) - While cooking last night, I had a strong urge to have a glass of wine, so I had a small glass of rose and it was totally unsatisfying. It's just a habit - not a need that satisfies. Good learning. I just like something to drink while I cook and it doesn't have to be wine.
2) track and be GREEN! (0/4) - will track Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat
3) do a workout class on the weekend - I did a body sculpt class on Saturday morning, will continue with this
Tomorrow I will do my class. Otherwise, I am not on target. I am feeling a tad disappointed, but will still check in.
Good luck everyone, for the weekend. And I will be on track again next week :-)
Good job on just checking in too!! you will be back in the saddle soon!

Awesome job! Keep up the good work! Good advice....I do the same thing on my goals. I don't want them too easy or too hard. If I miss by one I consider that a WIN too since I am not striving for perfection just consistency.goldthistime wrote: »With respect to being disappointed that you aren't meeting your goals, if I am struggling, I tend to alter my goals for a while, to make them easier to achieve.

Got to the gym yesterday but not Wednesday. Tonight will be extra hard because my dad is coming over and then I have plans with a friend. Maybe I can go for a walk with my dad.
The hardest part of prelogging is dinner. I pack breakfast and lunch and then I get home and have to scrounge for dinner and since I don't really have a plan it's harder to stay below my deficit.
At least I'm learning?
Clicketykeys- I hope you can get in a walk with your Dad. A perfect way to fit activity into a busy scvhedule. You are correct about dinner as breakfast and lunch are much easier. Perhaps you can get a couple of prepackaged dinners or measure and weigh for the evening meal. always a tough task but it will be a start.
Keep going. you can do this.
Well. Depends what you mean by "this" I have already failed at both my weekly goals. But like I said, I've learned from the process.
Didn't get a walk in with dad - it's been SO. FREAKING. HOT. Just wasn't worth it. Going to try to get to the gym tomorrow morning. It's been extra tough because I'm working every single day this month. Sundays are "short" days - only a 6-hr shift - but it's like... there just isn't enough time. I love both my jobs. I love that I get money for doing something that I enjoy (for the most part, anyway; of course there are parts of it that are tiresome/frustrating).
What I'll need to do is schedule some time to sit down with my husband and pick out some meals that he's willing to cook and we're both willing to eat. And that's a huge challenge because while I'm not a picky eater, I like eating. And it's just SO HARD to eat a reasonable portion (in other words, a SMALL portion) of something tasty when I want more and it's sitting there fresh and it's going to go into the fridge and he eats leftovers VERY rarely and either it goes bad or I overeat it at some point.
Yesterday's food fail (see diary) showed me that it's RIDICULOUSLY easy to not just wipe out my deficit, but to eat above maintenance. And that's definitely something that's going to be hard to make my peace with. I ate two bear claws - they were fantastic, BTW - and it would have not been a challenge to eat SIX. They were that dang good.1 -

Week goals - 25-2
log food and water
Daily planks
Daily yoga
advo challenge (middle of week or next week)
stay positive
keep on keeping on
@IsMollyReallyHungry - Thanks Hope your goals are going well. Looks like 9/24 goals were a success.
@ Forestrose910 - trying to plan ahead know I need to but the follow through is where things fall apart. Wonderful
job on your goals. (9/22)
@clicketykeys - Dinner and after work is the hardest for me as well if you come up with a solution let me know.
When I have cut portions in the past I used a smaller plate because I felt like they were still large in portion to
the plate size.
@ Torontojulie - Weekend was awful but now back to reality and need to stay green this week.
@ labcoatRetriever - looks like you did good with your goals - do not be so hard on yourself.
@goldthistime - great encouragement thanks I just adjusted my goals.
gained weight not feeling very up today.

mepeiffer- thanks for the encouragement. I made new goals for next week as I feel I have those ones as a habit. except for the exercise. I know that you did not have your best week last week but that is the way it goes. today is new. forget the past. I went a very, very long time gaining back a lot of the weight I had lost. but you can start again and again until it sticks. You can do this.
