    Goals for November 1:
    1. Stay in my calorie goal.--Yes.
    2. HEALTHY food choices!--Yes.
    3. 30 min. walk AM and PM.--Yes and No.

    I'm a little late checking in today but it was a busy morning!

    I REALLY want to get back to walking in the evening! It's such a nice time of day. It's been wet and cold, though, and that makes it hard to get motivated. I hope its dry tonight!

    I plan on actually setting my alarm and getting up earlier tomorrow--I need more time for a REAL workout!

    Goals for November 2:
    1. Stay in my calorie goal.
    2. HEALTHY food choices!
    3. 30 min. walk AM and PM. --AM walk done!

    Hello!

    Sorry I've been gone a while I was attempting a life MFP balance and gained 5lb :ohwell: I need help! I'll check in tomorrow morning (its pretty late here in the UK) to set myself the days goals & introduce myself properly.

    In the mean time I hope you all have a lovely afternoon.

    Good evening all (well here it is anyway :o)

    I've done okay with my 3 goals for today, I drank more water than yesterday so I've achieved my goal but it still wasn't good enough and I was rewarded with a headache (sure tell tale sign that I didn't drink enough), I didn't make it to my step class due to bad traffic but I got my butt in gear and burned 450cals in Zumba instead and I'm 26 cals under my net today and perfectly satisfied. Result! :o)

    Goals for tomorrow
    1. Drink minimum of 2.5l water which is the amount I feel best with
    2. Go for a run which I haven't been for a good week now
    3. Pick up 3 parcels from the post office (have to get my bum in gear as the sorting office is 15miles from here)

    Hope everyone else got on well!

    Hello, wondering if I can join this challenge??

    I've been on MFP since january and pretty active on the boards. But I haven't done an active challenge since September, but I know that I lose more with that accountability. I'm a SAHM to an 18 mo old girl, and I'm TTC #2. I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy and overall it was a pretty miserable 9 months because I was so unhealthy. So far I'm about 30lbs lighter than I was before I got pregnant so I'm hoping that if I can stay on this path my next pregnancy will be more healthy and enjoyable. Plus I definitely need all the energy I can get to keep up with my little one.

    Goals for tomorrow 11/3
    1. Stay within my calorie goal (no bingeing)
    2. Drink at least 64 oz of water
    3. 30 minutes of some sort of exercise

    Morning!

    I’m Kim from the UK. I used to be a regular on this thread for quite a long time I’ve got gone from being a couch potato to training for my first marathon next April. I stopped using MFP for a while thinking that I had all my good habits down and that of course training for a marathon would keep me in check.

    Thursday’s Goals, keeping it old school:

    1. Run or go to the gym at least 30minutes of cardio
    2. Under on calories
    3. Water

    Have a lovely day!

    Goals for November 2:
    1. Stay in my calorie goal.--No.
    2. HEALTHY food choices!--Yes.
    3. 30 min. walk AM and PM. --AM walk done! No PM walk.

    Food choices weren't bad, portion sizes were. It was SO nasty yesterday evening that I couldn't even make myself go to the mailbox, let alone a 30 minute walk outside! I guess I'll just have to do indoor walking with Leslie when the weather is like that. For some reason I find it harder to do a video in the evening than in the morning!

    Hi Kim! Nice to see you back. I'm still struggling with my emotional eating but overall doing a bit better.

    majoca--I ALWAYS have to concentrate on getting enough water--I may have to add it back into my daily goals here soon!

    thedestar--O course you can join this challenge--it is open to everyone! Welcome. I've been caring for my 16 month old grandson in the mornings (temporarily) and know I know why younger people have the babies! He wipes me out!

    Goals for November 3:
    1. Stay in my calorie goal.
    2. HEALTHY food choices!
    3. 30 min. walk AM and PM.

    1. Staying within my net calories, I'm off on holiday tomorrow and airports tend to mean snacking to me, so I'm armed with fruit and graze boxes
    2. Zumba at home tomorrow morning before heading to the airport
    3. Leave the flat in a good state so I have something nice to get back to, lol

    How has everyone else's day been?

    Did a terrible job with the water, started c25k & not sure about the steps because the pedometer and c25k program are both on my phone & it can't do 2 things at once!

    Tomorrow I'm going to
    1. Drink more water
    2. Go on a big beach walk
    3. To make better food choices-not just eat less junk than usual

    1. Stay within my calorie goal
    2. Drink at least 64 oz of water
    3. No sodas (going out to dinner with my mom so that will be a challenge!)

    I definitely drank enough water and didn't have any sodas. But we went out to dinner at a chinese buffet so I'm pretty sure I went over my calories. The terrible thing is that my husband and I are going to dinner and a movie with some friends tomorrow night so I don't know how my food will be then either.

    Goals for 11/5
    1. Drink at least 64 oz of water
    2. No sodas
    3. Wear pedometer and reach 10,000 steps

    Have a great weekend everybody!

    3. Leave the flat in a good state so I have something nice to get back to, lol (tick)

    My goals for today are

    2. Drink 2.5l water
    3. stay within net calories (which I haven't managed yesterday by a long stretch unfortunately)

    Have a great Sunday everyone
