Good Morning!
Thanks Ruri however the best laid plans are often out done by YES MONSOON RAIN!!!!LOL
I did get 33 minutes in before it began to thunder and lightening so I did get a partial....
So due to today being Bible Study there is no workout going on....
Goals for August 10
1. Stay in Calorie count A MUST
2. Water a MUST MUST
3. Do not go crazy because I am a daily weigher and the scale says I have gained since yesterday and I cant figure out the why...
So when I do that it throws my whole day off and I try not to eat. So just be with me as I struggle on this issue! I want to lose more than I want to eat something wrong because I am angry at the set back which will upset me more and the cycle begins NOT THIS TIME!!!!
Be blessed ladies good luck on your goals! I would love some friends if anyone would like too.....

Had a nice day yesterday. Poked around in Michaels and got some colored jump rings for a pair of earrings and pendant I am making my DD for her birthday on Saturday. Also found some 3-D puzzles of famous buildings (ie: Empire State Bldg., Eiffel Tower) and I may give her one of those, too. Did LOTS of walking!
Shanae--it is normal for your body weight to fluctuate daily. Lots of things will influence it including how much water you drank, how much sleep you got, etc. That's why most people weigh weekly instead of daily. Hang in there and don't take what the scale says so seriously!
Hope everyone is having a good day!

It was a bad day yesterday. No real reason that I can find, either, just in a funk lately. It's hard to get myself moving. I'm sore and am going to just take it easy for today, if I can. If I feel better, I will exercise later.
There's some kind of a bug going around so maybe I picked it up and this is the start of it. I hope not because it seems to be a nasty one!
I'm SO glad it's Friday!

Well I still haven't stayed on top of things yet. I'm slowly trying to. I have found that everytime I go for a walk with Barb my ankle starts to hurt at the same point and today I pushed thru it and ended up with it feeling numb only on the outside from the knee down to my toes. I'm thinking that is a good sign I need to see the doctor about it.
Since its the weekend my goals are simple. Drink lots of water all weekend. Clean my house and do the laundry. Make sure I have everything for my daughter for school. She starts Kindergarden on Tuesday!! Last but not least, get my resume around and make sure its updated so I can go look for work next week. I'm not looking forward to that one but with her in school and no other kids here for me to take care of I'm gonna go crazy if I don't find a job at least part time. LOL
Hope you all have a good weekend:)0 -

3. TRACK MY FOOD!!!--Yes.
Not as bad a day as I thought it would be. Did not get a workout in at home but kept the eating in check and got a lot of rearranging done at work so there was LOTS of walking involved.
Today will be tough. It is my DDs birthday and I think we are going to my brothers and possibly to my DDs company picnic. That means lots of riding in a car (not my favorite thing at the best of times) and little control over the food choices. I'll manage but I really just want to stay here and maybe go to the Farmers Market.
Goals for Aug. 13:
1. Water.
2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes.

2. comb my daughter's hair/ get her ready for first day of school
3. zumba @2:30
4. follow the meal plan
5. stay hydrated.
6. early bedtime.0 -
Nicole, how's your 5k training going? I just completed my first 5k yesterday. My time was 38:30. I did jog the entire race, except for about 30 seconds. I told myself if I were to take a break, it can't be any longer than 30 secs. But I only needed on "break" as the course was pretty hilly, but I made up a lot of time/speed on the decline. I'll be entering another one soon, around Labor Day. I hope to be conditioned enough where I won't need any breaks either.0

A little late but goals for August
1.) drink 2 liters of water a day
2.) complete 7 miles at least 5 times a week
3.) eat a piece a fruit BEFORE i eat anything else. my motto, if you're TRULY hungry, you'll eat anything.
4.) work my *kitten* off (no pun intended) to be in the BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE before MIAMI!!!
Non-fitness goal:
1.) appreciate every insecurity
2.) count my blessings
3.) positive thoughts0 -
Hey guys! Sorry I've been away. It's been a little crazy. I've been doing really well with exercising but my eating has gone down the tube.
Leela... 5k training isn't going. My knees still tend to hurt after exercising but they are slowly hurting less so I think this week I am going to try to hit the treadmill at least once... and see how it goes. Congrats on your 5k!! Not bad at all and to jog the whole thing (30 seconds... psh. doesn't matter.). That's my only goal. I don't even care about my time. Awesome!!!
Goals for today and tomorrow since I will be without a computer...
1. 8 glasses of water.
2. NO fast food (it's a really bad addiction of mine)
3. NO mindless snacking.
Have a good couple days.

We did get my son a new-to-us matteress and box spring this weekend and a bed frame for my daughter. Gave the old stuff to my SIL for her step daughter since her bed was falling apart and our stuff was still in good enough shape that it has at least a few more years of use out of it.
Hope you all have a good Monday!!0 -
Morning,
Well it was my birthday on Saturday and the weekend went by in a bit of a crazy whirl, and while I didn't always make the healthiest choices they certainly weren't as bad as they could have been (I was given 5 different birthday cakes because everyone worried i wouldn't get one) now its just about getting back to good routines and really upping the exercise again.
Monday's goals:
1. Plan meals for the week
2. Under on calories
3. Water, lots and lots of water
4.Run
5. Tidy
6. Sort out birthday present for my mother.
Have a great day!

Hi Kathy, don't forget to stay hydrated today!
Kim, happy belated birthday, don't worry about your unhealthy choices, birthdays only come once a year!
Barb, great job on the loss. you are doing such a great job with your daily goals.
Beth, how's the ankle.
Nicole, I can't wait to hear about your race! Are you all signed up for classes? Taking another full load?
Momma, can't wait until you're back in the loop!
Shanae, sounds likes you've had a busy week! I had to get all my daughter's supplies too. We had a uniform fashion show and surprisingly we only had a few things to give away. Mainly skirts that are now above the knee as most of her pants were always a little long, so now they fit good. Did you get a chance to get your nails done? Its nice to pamper yourself from time to time.
Niki, I'm glad you've been hitting your goals! I'm proud to be one of the members who has been with this challenge for a year! woo hoo
Splenda, I love your goals, so optimistic. Glad you can join us, we create a new board every month so there's never a wrong time to start.0 -
OKAY I DID IT!!!!! I WALKED 3 DAYS 5 MILES EACH DAY WHOOT WHOOT!!!
Leela I am soooooo proud of you great job. My next goal is to try to begin to run. I am a little concerned about my knees but I know that this walking is only getting me so far and I need to burn more in a two hour work out. So I am looking up to what you are doing honey tell me more please. What do you need to do to begin? What kind of things do I need before I even start? Shoes, clothes (I am heavy chested). Yes honey got the nails done (I am so diva). Moved the entire house around furniture wise. Cleaned the entire house, did laundry, made all the childrens beds, went and did my shopping at the farmers market for the healthy meats that I wil be using to cook for the children, went and bought the boys cologne I love it when they think they look and smell good. Girl it smells like SUNDAY MORNING!!! LOL But they feel good. I feel that I really got my goals in this weekend and some.......
Kim Happy Belated Birthday I pray that your day was (it sounds like it was) amazing and that God favors you in this year!
Splenda I can see you have a wonderful personality through your words good luck on every goal!
Ladies I love this group you all are wonderfully supportive! Have a blessed day and good luck on your goals!

1. Workout for 2 hours 5 mile walk (going for day four)
