Happy to report after it got a little worse, today got a whole lot better, thanks in large part to ALL of YOU!! :happy:
FaithsVegWorkout way to get the extra veggies in at lunch! Keep it up
Danlyn good luck tonight with the no snacking getting after getting into bed. You CAN do it!
Marlymarly welcome to MFP and to our mini goal challenge. You have picked a great goal to start with. I think it is fun to see what others mini goals are too, it gives me ideas on what else I need to work on.
Njbooklover welcome back, glad you found the new thread. Hope you were able to catch up on some sleep, sorry to hear about your boyfriend, I hope he is doing better. Good luck with your goals this week I know you are going to rock them!
Hearts♥Desire – glad to hear you had a great Sunday! Thank you so much for your encouragement! BTW a bed time goal is one that pops on and off my list, there are some weeks I'm really good, and I'll take it off, and as soon as it's off, I'm back up late (much like tonight)
Welcome shaela123 and thank you for the friend request! Good luck with your goals this week!
Nlakshmi nice job today! Good luck with the late night snacking that can be a tough habit to break. I'm much better at it these days then I was in the past.
KrisPage, LadyGloria, and Philosohoe awesome job today!! You all are working really hard on your goals
I hope I didn’t miss anyone HUGGS to you ALL!
Monday check in:
1. week 10 P90X – Week 10 started off with a fizzle LOL! I had to drag my hind quarters into the room where I worked out. BUT I did it! And man oh man am I feeling it!
2. 3 non P90X workouts – can I count my early morning clean up! LOL!
3. try a new food or recipe everyday - tried a new turkey cheddar bratwurst on a whole wheat bun. Never had either before, I’m not usually a fan of whole wheat bread, but this one was pretty good. The turkey brat was very tasty!!
3 for 3 today!!
Now I have to go pack a bag and head over to my parents’ house, we are spending the night there since we still have no use of showers or toilets at our house. I hope you all have a wonderful evening. Thank you all again, I really couldn't do this without you all!0 -
I think on how long it used to take to get back on track and I think we've all had times it wasn't a day or two or a week or two, or even a month or two. That's a great way to identify progress how quickly we catch what we're doing that might not be as healthy as we'd like it to be.
How very true. Though I wasn't in calorie goal yesterday, I didn't keep going over and I started today as a new beginning.
MAK, sorry to hear about your day. I'd be hysterical, and am amazed at your positive attitude. Hope all is better tomorrow.0 -
Alright, my check in:
logged everything and stayed in goal (slightly under, but that counts for me)
excercised twice (both short stints easy swimming)
I tried smarter decisions, I swam for a second time to visit with friends and family, and I planned healthier eating out options
I'm so tired, slightly frustrated with how long it takes a seven year old to do anything, and I've not spent much time with my husband via computer or phone for the second night in a row. But I really need the support here and to be accountable by checking in before I drift off to sleep, otherwise I'm more likely to go off track again.
So proud of you all and the goals you're reaching. Thank you for your support.0 -
Mondays Check In:
My goals were...
1) work out every day for 60 minutes straight (only little breathers in between routines)
2) not eat after 7pm every night
3) cut out carbs by at least 20% (I have way to many carbs in a day right now)
I acomplished 1 of them yesterday :grumble:
1) I worked out for 45 minutes straight and then took a 45 minute break before my c25k
2) I did have a snack at 8:30pm :noway: :noway: :noway:
3) My total carbs were 125 out of 172, so I cut them by almost 26%
Oh well, today will be a better day--I can do this!!!0 -
Hi:0)
My ultimate goal is to eat clean. So my goal this week is to make a clean breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm committing to cooking 3x this week.
Going to the grocery store to make my some meals this week!0 -

You are doing great! We are all here to support each other! Feel free to friend me... 0 -
I'm in dire need of motivation and support!!! I have 87 days left until my wedding and I can't fit my dress. I've gained about 25-30lbs over the past year and a half and feel so uncomfortable with the extra poundage. The sad part is I know exactly what to do and how to do it but can't find the motivation/discipline anywhere. I started back exercising about 3 weeks ago and am committed to exercising 5-6x a week...just can't get my eating under control. I do great during the week and loose approx 4lbs but then gain it all back +more on the weekends. Please help!!!

My goal for this week is...
1) Stop eating after 7:00pm
2) No fried foods, sodas, or desserts.0 -
Okay, I had a rough day yesterday but I logged EVERYthing, I stayed under, I drank over 12 cups of water AND I worked it OUT last night!
I have stepped up to a challenge of completing 1,000 crunches this week and I did 200 of them last night!
I have logged EVERYthing so far today, I am at 7 cups of water at 1:10pm, and I plan on STAYING with the exercise routine tonight! I also dumped the snacks that I used to eat at night in front of the TV. I just tossed it all out in the trash and last night I stayed on my exercise mat the entire 2 hours of watching The Bachelor Pad (yes... trashy tv, gotta love it)! I didn't snack on anything and I exercised off and on for that whole two hours, taking 10 minute breaks in between each round!0 -

Crystal, great job on the carbs, and you did come very close to your timed workout.0 -

2) No fried foods, sodas, or desserts.
Great mini goals! Instead of soda, I've switched to sweetened tea. I still get caffeine from some of the teas, and it's a sweet (often no calorie) beverage. And there's so many flavors. Good luck to you and your upcoming wedding.0 -
My week would be this past Monday to next Monday. During this week I want to:
1. Go back to drinking no pop which this is the start of day two with no pop.
2. Exercise 4x's this week as MFP has stated for my goals
3. Log in everday on MFP
This will kick start my weight loss goal!!0 -
Thanks! I'll try a couple of teas this week 0

What a great day you had, Suz. Good for you!!! Nice to see so many new people join in this challenge. I wish you all the best of luck with your goals:drinker:
I did get some exercise in yesterday with housework. I did get up last night, but just watched a little HGTV until I could fall back to sleep. It would be nice if tonight I slept the whole night, but I'll be happy with just not getting up to eat:grumble:
You are all doing so well with your goals and with checking in here. We are going to have some Happy Losers this week:smokin:0 -
Well my goals were only have bread one day a week and do 30 day shred every day.
I know it's only Tuesday but I had a slice of pizza (which I class as bread for the dough) but that's the bread out of the way for the week.
I've stuck to the 30 ds and on 2 nd day and it's a killer! Can't wait for day 30 to be over!0 -
Check in for Tuesday
My goals for this week: (Tuesday - Monday)
1. Track food every day - done
2. Exercise 2-3 days. - not scheduled today - gym tomorrow
3. Drink 48 oz. of water daily or more. - only about a third of my goal.0 -
Well, I ate a cup of fresh spinach, a cup of red bell pepper, and some cucumbers today. There's still time to go eat another cup of spinach!0
-
Faiths, wow! I got in, um...nothing compared to that today. Will do better tomorrow. You're inspirational!
njbooklover, 1 out of 2 today isn't bad. You can do it all tomorrow!
keziemc, I could not imagine skipping all forms of bread for a whole week. Though I rarely do side breads anymore. Good job so far! I hate 30DS. It gave me bad leg pain. Good luck! The people who make it through it have fabulous results!
danlyn, I hear you on the midnight waking. I wake up by 3am every night and have since giving birth to my now three year old. At first it was for baby needs, then it was for bladder needs, now it's just an annoying habit. Good for you for not snacking during it!
Kris, way to go on your day one!
My turn:
1. Eat heatlhy lunches and learn to pack fun stuff that is healthy. -um, left home without the lunch so not as great as I'd hoped.
2. Keep up the water drinking. -so far so good, 12 cups in today
3. Still get my exercise in. Keep trying turbofire along with my classes while waiting on my weights to come in-rest day scheduled for today. Too bad, I could have used the extra carbs and sugars it gives you as I went over both today.0 -
C25K W1D2 + some finished 2.5 miles tonight on the treadmill wow what a sweaty mess. should have streched more after last night so good streching tonight. Scale moved this morning probably water loss from sweat last night. we'll see if it hold true tomorrow morning. Feels great getting back in it!!!0

I blame the donut.
Today was a frustrating day and I emotionally ate. I had already consumed my planned lunch, was home early today, and was throwing out the remaining few donuts I'd bought the kids. I wanted a donut so badly. I debated whether or not to have it. I wasn't hungry. I had far more better-tasting-possibly-healthier-sweets for alternatives, and yet I ate the donut. It didn't taste good, it was a day old. I logged it in. Knew the numbers would jump that way. And have resented the damn donut ever since. Lesson learned? Hell no, I really don't think I'm in the mood to learn anything. This was a premeditated sabotage that I had to accomodate eating the rest of the day on a delicate balancing act.
My check in:
logged in and stayed in goal: (about 30 over, but without excercise, I'd rather go slightly over than under considering I'm only consuming 1200 calories)
Excercise daily: nope, not even close. I racked my brain trying for any activity, but didn't do anything today
Try something wiser: at the end of the night, when I was slightly hungry and knew I needed about 40 more calories, I went for blueberries.
Overall, I hit one goal today. Stupid donut, okay, okay, silly me. Tomorrow is another day.0 -

Aww Ittee! BTW, I blame the donut too. Of course by "donut" I mean "Gelso" and by "blame" I mean "far away". Hugs for a better day tomorrow.
Tuesday night check in:
1) logged everything
2) sodium was under 2169! (my goal is no more than 2200)
3) no exercise=no exercise calories, but I still stayed within goal.
Read all the updates. Good to see people checking in for support, encouragement, and celebrations. For all of the above: Hang in there; Keep the faith; Congratulations!0 -
Crystal_Rudolph - I think you did great with your goals. Keep on reaching for them and I'm sure you'll be 3 for 3 in no time!
theba2il – hope you got some good stuff at the grocery store! Good luck with the cooking. If you come up with a great new recipe feel free to share I love trying new recipes!
mahoghanyw - Welcome and good luck with your goals. Small steps can help make change. Tea is a great idea. I like to make mint tea and pour it over ice. One of my favorites
SuzMac1981 - GREAT job! Even with a rough day Monday you made your goals. Way to swap night time tv snacking for exercising! That's awesome! Good luck with your 100 crunches. My abs are cringing just thinking about that!
laloquita21 – Welcome to the mini goal thread glad to have you on board, excellent goals. Good luck kicking the soda.
danlyn - Nice job staying away from the late night snacking. I'm a late night food network watcher :happy:
kezziemc - Way to go with 30DS sounds like it's a tough one!! Keep up all the good shredding!
njbooklover – Great job tracking your food today, keep it up! Good luck at the gym tomorrow.
FaithsVegWorkout - I had spinach with dinner, one of my favorites! I like to cook it up with garlic and onion with some black pepper.... YUM!
ladygloria - Sorry you left your lunch at home, good luck tomorrow! Nice job with the water today.
KrisPage - gotta love the sweat mess feeling! Glad to see your back in it and doing awesome
Lttee - Been there done that! It was a double chocolate donut last Saturday. But tomorrow is a new day and it can be a donut free day. Good luck tomorrow I hope your day is less frustrating. YOU CAN DO THIS!
philosohoe - Nice job today!! Congrats on that sodium number :drinker:
Sounds like everyone is working really hard this week. KEEP IT UP!!
Tuesday check in:
1. week 10 P90X – Week 10 day 2 done – it was the short workout today but I worked into a pretty good sweat.
2. 3 non P90X workouts – Got in an extra 30 minute workout in today.
3. try a new food or recipe everyday – tried a new turkey burger recipe. Used some garlic, red onion, panko bread crumbs, and stuffed it with laughing cow French onion cheese. Grilled it up and topped it with wasabi raspberry mustard. It was pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
I think early bed time might be back on my list of goals for next week. LOL! Have a great night everyone. HUGGS!0 -
Great work everyone who hit their goals!
Got my 30 min of cardio in yesterday - run/walk 4:1! Hooray.
Today (wed) I am at work though, I work a few days a week - long day, we leave before 8 am and by the time I pick up the kids from daycare its around 6. My hubby had to do some errands tonight, so not sure when I can fit in some cardio.
Any suggestions as to what I can do?0 -
Tuesday's Check In:
1) I worked out for 60 minutes straight yesterday morning
2) I ate after 7pm...it was a bad day with some major spats going on between the husband and me--guess I learned that I am an emotional eater :blushing: :grumble:
3) My carbs were at 174 out of 175---made a bad choice eating the potato salad with lunch and then the pizza for dinner
I am so proud of all you! Keep up your hard work--you inspire me at the very least! :flowerforyou:0 -
WOW, everyone is doing so great!!!! I so look forward to checking in here to see how you all are and gain some inspiration and to just know that I am not alone in this struggle. Thank you all for being so willing to share the ups and downs. We are all human and deserve to know that it's okay to hit a bump in the road every once in awhile and nobody will condemn you and you certainly shouldn't condemn yourself
Speaking of condemning...I did get up last night and had a few spoonfuls of ice cream :grumble: I'm thinking that this goal isn't going to be one that I'm 100% successful at achieving in one week. The only good thing I can pull from last night is that I do notice that I am eating FAR less when I do wake up than I used to, so I'm holding onto that as encouragement to keep on trying. This may be on my list of goals for quite awhile :sad: , but I WILL SUCCEED :drinker:
Didn't exercise either, but stayed at 1220 calories, my allowed amount.
Good luck to everyone today and I hope we all have great success :happy:0 -
WTG Faith! Great job on the veggies Girl:flowerforyou: :drinker:Well, I ate a cup of fresh spinach, a cup of red bell pepper, and some cucumbers today. There's still time to go eat another cup of spinach!
Everyone is really kicking butt this week and it's only just begun! Always inspiring to work along side others that are looking to make positive changes. I so appreciate all of you!
Tuesday Check in:
- good on the water
- no workout, I'm mixed about this:ohwell: :blushing: , I do believe it would have helped my mood but I simply could not keep track of time yesterday and missed a few appts., one being the gym. Ugh! Back today though
:drinker:
- dealing with PMS and the moods that come with it so I think I did well considering what could have happened. LOL
- good food day, logged it all and kept under:drinker:
- Went to bed earlier - this is good! Trouble sleeping but at least I had more hours to make up for it than when I go to bed later.
Cheers to us all for a another GREAT Day! xo 0 -
