    Tuesday’s Goals:
    1. Under on calories – Yes but way too much sugar
    2. Exercise: 30DS, Walk, & introduce brother & his GF to C25k – yes, yes, & yes
    3. Water - yes
    4. Tidy up the living room before people arrive - Yes
    5. Check I've got enough bedding for people coming to stay this weekend – Still no!

    Morning,

    Yesterday evening was wonderful. I took my brother and his GF out to do their first day of C25k, they did really well, far better then I did on my first day. Then they came back to mine for dinner and to help me make stuff for my friends hen party/bachelorette party this weekend. I’m really looking forward to it and dreading it also. I really want her to have a lovely weekend and for it to go really well. Which probably means it’ll be a disaster. Any way I’ve obsessed enough about this weekend, time to get on with today.

    Wednesay’s Goals
    1. under on calories
    2. water
    3. exercise: Run or dvd when I get home
    4. Finish of making things for hen party.

    Have a lovely day.

    3. Track my food and make healthy choices--esp. this evening at our neighborhood's National Night Out party!.--Yes. and Yes!

    Had fun last night. watched a magic show, listened to some good music and collected some cool freebies. Also did well on the eating. It was very warm, though, and we came home after a couple of hours.

    I have been staying up too late and need to get back to a better bedtime so it is back on my goals list/

    No workout this morning as my knee is hurting. I'll see how it feels later, though, and try to get one in after work.

    Have a lovely day, everyone!

    Hey everyone! It seems that everyone has been doing great on goals!

    I've been doing pretty well. Meeting all my goals. I need to start watching my sodium intake though. I seem to be over every day.

    So goals for tomorrow:

    1. Gym workout and continue with knee exercises.
    2. Stay around calorie limit.
    3. Get all of my calcium and stay under sodium.
    4. Clean room.

    Have a great day tomorrow everyone!

    Morning,
    I took yesterday as a rest day and I’m just exhausted today. Far more tired then I was when I was burning up 1000 calories a day. I’m also rather aggravatingly up 1.5lb. I did have a lovely evening yesterday making everything for the hen party but there are far too many sugary things around the house at the moment that are just too tempting (hmm weight gain making a little more sense now).

    Thursday’s goals
    1. Under on calories
    2. C25k with my brother if its not raining too hard
    3. Tidy the house people are arriving tomorrow!
    4. Early night

    Have a lovely day.

    3. Exercise for 20 minutes--10 minutes done.--10 more (at least) done so, Yes.

    Not my best day ever but certainly not the worst, either! It's too hot to cook (for a change!) and I made the mistake of grabbing what was easy. That started a downward spiral but today will be different. I am going to stop at the store and pick up some more fruit and veggies so they are ready when I have supper!

    Going in early again today.

    Everyone seems to be doing a good job! Way to go!!!

    Goals for Aug.5:

    2. 20 minutes of exercise.
    3 Track my foods and HEALTHY choices!

    Goals for Aug.5:
    1 Water.--Yes.
    2. 20 minutes of exercise.--Yes+.:smile:
    3 Track my foods and HEALTHY choices!--Started well, ended badly.:grumble:
    4. Watch the evening snacking!--No.:noway:

    Okay--started well but ended badly. I went to dinner with my DD, her BF and the baby. I THOUGHT we were going to Sizzler (salad and steak :happy: ) but we went to IHOP (pancakes, waffles, fried EVERYTHING it seems! :ohwell: ). That just seemed to start a spiral downwards and it would have been worse if I hadn't just gone to bed after a while! Oh well. I will start again today and will stay on plan!
    To make things worse, DD's BF complained about everything! Nothing he could eat...it's not what he ordered...I hope to remember and politely refuse the next time they ask me out! (It was truly awful--I can't even put it into words!)
    Well, it's over and I learned my lesson!

    Momma--Jeans are too big! God for you!

    Everyone--Have a great day!

    Goals for Aug. 6:
    1. WATER!!!

    Hey everyone!

    Well... it's been 2 or 3 days and ... my room still isn't clean. Crap. o well. I have been doing ok on calories (yesterday was a pretty poor choices day but I'm going to try to stay under my usual 1530 today and go for 1200 calories to make up for it. I haven't been doing well with sodium either. Hope everyone is doing well!

    Goals for Aug. 6:
    1. WATER!!!--Not good.
    2. Exercise for AT least 30 minutes.--Yes, 30+.
    3. EAT CLEAN and log EVERYTHING!--90% and yes!

    We are going to my brother's today for a barbecue. Food will be good as he tends to eat healthy foods and doesn't have much in the way of sweets and snacks. It CAN be stressful, though, as he can be obnoxious if he drinks too much! Let's hope he doesn't!

    Barb--I tried those Fiber One Brownies. I have to admit, I wasn't impressed. I think I'll hold out for the real thing!

    Wishing everyone a good day!
