Hello Everyone:

Okay time to buckle down and get 100% on the train. No more hanging on to the caboose. My sister wants me to go on a cruise with her May 28, 2012. So I really need to show up looking good.

This week my goal is to:
1. Track all my food every day (Tues-Sunday)
2. Drink 4 glasses of water.
3. Walk 4 times at least 1/2 mile.

When I do all of these from Tuesday till Sunday. I will put 2.00 in my cruise fund.

    Good morning bbpurple1967!
    I need to jump on the train again too ... have been stalled for 2 months and I'm getting frustrated with myself for only 'half trying'. I like your weekly goal idea. Here are mine:
    1. track all my food and exercise every day
    2. eat more protein and veggies
    3. drink 80oz+ water daily

    Good Morning:
    Woke up with a nasty allergy headache and TOM showed up. GREAT just GREAT! I did make sure to eat breakfast. I also have my lunch packed up. I need to get to the store and get some fruit and veggies. Lacking those today.

    I was shocked at how many calories pasta has in it. WOW!

    Tuesday I did:
    1. tracked all my food
    2. printed out sheet. Did not eat anything NOT on the sheet.
    3. picked up some fruit for tomorrow and later this week if my 20 year old does not eat it first.
    4. Did not come home from work and eat. I always do that and it is a habit that has to go.

    I hope the others see week 2 and come over.

    Where is everyone?

    I gained back a pound. But I am still committed to go in the right direction. I just need to really learn to deal with some emotional stuff in my life. It is not pretty and I so am going to NOT let it effect me anymore.

    I hope everyone is doing well and comes to post here.

    Would love to join this group!

    I just started Jamie Eason's 12 Week Live Fit challenge and have been trying to eat healthier.

    Goals for the weekend:
    1. Go to gym Sat. and Sun.
    2. Avoid unneccessary snacking--seriously, why can't I just say NO!?!
    3. Go on a walk/bike ride with my mom--I am a great motivator for her and her need to lose weight. Why not get some extra calories in for myself?! Ha!

    3. get back to healthy eatting and no soda

    Sorry I was MIA all weekend. I did great with exercise - not so great with food.
    Back at it today!

    no week 3 post yet that I have found either ... I hope you are all having a good week!

    I was over on calories yesterday, and I'm having a hard time staying motivated. I signed up for a nutrition class/challenge that starts in 2 weeks. Hopefully that will help me get that scale to move down again.

    URG Im cant stop bored eatting. I ate 6 cookie after dinner last night. I always feel bad afterwards but I can stop.

    I finally got my butt on the bike at work yesterday. I need to sit down and plan everything out again/make small goals and rewards. Wish I could rewind back to 5 months ago. I was eatting really good and working out a lot had lots of motivation. I think everyone telling me I look good makes me feel like I dont need to work as hard but I still do

    Good job for you on your goals this week smitchell37! I don't think it's bad to plan on an eating weekend - maybe you want to figure out what foods you REALLY want and don't waste any of your time, money and calories on foods that aren't your favorites ... then you probably won't do too badly.

    I did fairly well this week, I hope it shows on the scale tomorrow!
