    Morning all:

    First off, thanks for all the words of encouragement and suggestions. The stress from work had definitely caught up with me yesterday morning but I actually worked a short day so I could go home and relax (if yard work counts as relaxing). Of course the piles are still staring at me right now on my desk but at least I am in a better frame of mind today. Amazing the power the scale has on me-rationally I know that weight fluctuates from day to day but it still can kill my mood.

    So for Thursday here's how I did:
    1-for my exercise-I had 48 minutes in spin class, 45 minutes in Circuit training class and 1 hour of yard work-raking and mowing up leaves.
    2-water-drank over 64 oz again. This goal is becoming easier as I making sure I always have a bottle with me.
    3-record everything that I am eating-yep and I stayed under my calories
    4-cook a meal. I did make a quesdadilla for supper (turkey and only 2 slices of cheese). It's hard to only cook for 1 person as I get bored with the left overs very fast.

    Hope everyone has a great Friday and keep up the good work!

    I'm having a hard time getting back on track after last weekend. Exercising and writing in the log is all I seem to be doing well right now. Water intake around 6 cups per day, and definitely not logging in daily right now. Last night, after eating more off it and going above my intake allowance, I threw away all the left over temptations that remained in the house. Today I've exercised for 62 minutes and done crunches. I've also planned my meals for the day. Planning worked before, so I'm hopeful it will get me going in the right direction.

    Friday. Had a lovely day with my youngest daughter, she had a visit to the dentist and then we shopped a little to get her a treat. After that we spent the afternoon snuggled up on the sofa watching Alvin & the Chipmunks.

    Stayed focussed today, started with a good cardio workout this morning and by the end of the day I should finish under on cals today. Hope everyone else is having a great day.

    Looking forward to a relaxing weekend, no major plans for us. What's everyone else up to?

    Epic, four blisters. I walked about 12 miles last night.
    I need to bring more money for lunch and buy some salad, but it's hard when I don't get paid until next week lolol.
    The break/lunch room is open to everyone, and there's no other options for food except bringing your own, but when my bf did it, they stole his lunch!

    Staying under calories, though. I'm a bit confused on how to log for midnight, so I assume if it's after 12, like at lunch, it's the next day. Like lunch last night was breakfast this morning.

    Day 18: A slightly better day. I followed my planned meals until I came home from the high school football game a while ago and had hot coca and a roll. Kept to the maximum time between meals. Everything is logged. I'll drink the last of the water before going to bed.

    Looks like everyone had a busy weekend!

    I rode at least 60 minutes every day this weekend. Plus I bounced on the bosu while I watched football yesterday-it is the only way I have found to channel my fanatic energy for away games. I also went out for at least 2 mile walks each day.

    Drank at least 64 oz of watch each day so good on that goal.

    I tracked my food intake but with the family here to watch the game on the big screen, I went over on my calories each day. But I had home cooked meals-made by my mom. (while I love having them here-they bring in a lot of crap and I don't pass up any of it unfortunately).

    Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving week! Keep up the good work!

    Congratulations Elimay on completing the 30 day shred. I've not done this myself, but from what I've read on here it sounds super tough so well done.

    Just realised that I haven't posted to this thread since Friday, don't know how I missed that sorry, I was still logging my cals though.

    My weekend wasn't too bad, ate well and a couple of good workouts. Today has been a different story, no workout and I have snacked all day long - biscuits, crisps, cakes. Feeling really naughty now, must do better tomorrow!!!!
