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.

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:)
So it was a good weekend:) Did pretty good on the eating thing and drank lots of water:) Pretty sure I have everything needed for my daughter for school but I didn't get around to my resume yet. I will work on that this week.
So goals for monday
1. Stay on top of that water intake
2. make healthy choices since I'll be eating lunch out.
3. Get in some sort of exercise
Non-fitness goals
1. Daughter's hair cut
2. Go shopping
3. Work on laundry so more cause it really is never ending in this house!
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!
August 15 Goals
1. Workout for 2 hours 5 mile walk (going for day four)
2. More water I went the entire weekend with none.
3. Take some time for me in the last days I have before the boys get back (try to find one more outing)0 -
1:Be under 1000 calories ................Yes
2: water 8 cups .......................Yes
3: wake up before 9:30 ...........yes
4: exercise 30 min. .........................Yes 37 min
target is 3/4
So I again got a 4/4! Wonderfull!
I'm not used to go below 1000 cal but I wanted to compensate for the day before overindulgence.
A new week. What would you like to be different at the end of this week ? I dont want to chase too many rabbits at a time but I need some success in my life. Last week I began cleaning my kitchen cupboards. Doing one everyday. I'm gonna keep doing this and maybe two every other day. I won't have finished at the end of the week but it will be closer to finish line. A friend of me can do it in a single day. She begin at 6 in the morning and keep going until she finish. Usually at 3 in the night. I don't know where she find her energy. For my part I have to do it the "slow but sure" way.
So !
1: Water 2L
2: exercise 30 min
3: wake-up before 9:30
4: 2 Kitchen cupboards today
Will be happy with 3/4
See you tomorrow :flowerforyou:

Lee, my ankle feels fine as long as I don't push myself too hard. I still need to call the dr to get in about it but I also have to have the money for the co-pay when I go and the bills take almost all of it when the paychecks come in. I hate being broke.
Kim, Happy belated birthday!!
Glad to see you all doing so well!! Got the open house/cookout for my daughter's school tonight. Not a whole lot of power over what will be available to eat but I will make healty choices.

Not so bad, no! That's good! I need to give myself credit when I do something good and not focus only on the negative part.
I did most of what I asked myself by doing 3.5/4 Its even better than what I was asking myself to do. I also did a lot of laundry and washed my bed. Clean clothes are in their drawers. And I went to grocery with my 85 years old neighbour. I prepared myself good meals. It was a good day!
Do you find yourself looking only for the negative part ?

1: Water 2L
2: 1 kitchen cupboard
3: 15 minutes exercises
4: Wake up before 9:30
