pmjsmom- I could so join you in hibernation! That would be why I gain 5-10 lbs in the winter though! We must not hibernate!~
lstnlondry- Great job on the garage! It is a wonderful feeling to get something organized. As for pictures, I still have a couple of wedding pics to pic out and display. (been married 2 years) It will happen!
Shanaedunn- You did wonderfully on goals yesterday. May have been over on carbs, but you logged which is wonderful. It does help you see where you can make changes or if you have set the level too low. Set up for success not failure! A challenge is okay.
So my goals for November 18
1. Water- 10 glasses
2. shop for thanksgiving day meal
3.Stay focused at work to stay caught up

I know I'm late in the game being that November is almost over...but quite frankly this one day at a time thing sounds like it's exactly what I need! I have a lot of weight to lose (or at least what I think of as a lot). It took 20 years to put it on so I know it's not going come off "in a day"...but lately I just haven't had the focus to be able to look clear down the road. But I think I could possibly just look at today...I think that's doable. So here goes...
My three goals for the day are...
1. to drink all 8 glasses of water
2. to log everything I eat (and I do mean everything...even all the goodies at today's Thanksgiving potluck at work)
3. to look at myself in the mirror today and be ok with what I see and not be disappointed anymore0 -
Always late for the party. But I really like the idea for the group!!
My three goals for today:
1. Limit carbs - they have been winning the battle over my willpower lately.
2. Exercise - and not just the little exercise I normally do, but on and off all day. (Little spurts)
3. Drink >50 oz of water (See you in the ladies room! LOL)0 -
Goals for November 20:
1. Stay in my calorie goal and make HEALTHY food choices. --No.
2. WATER!!!--Yes.
3. Walking or exercise video-30 minutes minimum.--Yes.
Adding a fourth goal for a few days--need to do some extra cleaning in the next few days!

Friday was not the best day at all. I didn't even get my cleaning done (windows, etc.) as I ended up watching my grandson so my DD could take her BF to the doctor. They ended up doing a bunch of tests and so were gone FOREVER!
Oh well--at least he knows what the chest pains are from now--costochondritis, which is an inflammation of the cartilage that attaches the front of the ribs to the breastbone.
Going to try again today to get things done!
