    Goals for December 16:
    1. Water! --Good, both days.
    2. Workout or a brisk walk for at least 30 minutes. --Yes, both days.
    3. Stay in my calorie goal.No on Friday, Yes on Saturday

    Friday was NOT a good day but Saturday I was back on track. I just need to stay focused and not let the mindless eating start.

    Keep up the good fight, everyone! I will try to catch up later but no promises!

    1. Water!

    2) drink 64 ounces or more of water
    3) complete writing up assessment from today and turn in for authorization

    1. Water!--No.
    2. Workout or a brisk walk for at least 30 minutes.--Yes.
    3. Stay in my calorie goal.--No. I ate cookies :ohwell: .

    mvkrayola--I glad you found your tax return. :smile: I had that problem a few years ago and now I do them online and keep an additional copy on a usb drive kept just for them!

    lstnlondry--glad to see you! :flowerforyou: It's a busy time of year for most of us, I think!

    MandiO--good job drinking the water! :drinker: I don't do well with that in the colder weather!

    arodriguez2 and ambraroberts--Welcome! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I also struggle with emotional eating (which includes eating because I'm bored!) and lack of motivation. I continually have to remind myself that I CAN do this and that messing up does NOT mean failure!

    Shanae--WTG on the boy pushups! :drinker: I am impressed! Salsa IS a good snack. I love it! (When you have time--yeah, right!--it's fairly easy to make your own, too!)

    Have a good day, everyone!

    Wow Shanaedunn - 33 boy pushups in one minute!!! I'm impressed...I did "girl" pushups on a half ball the other day and could barely get through 15 at a time...my arms were killing me the next day.

    welcome to arodriquez2 and ambraroberts...keep logging in and you will find lots of support here...good luck and if you need some support just ask...

    pmjsmom - thank you so much for creating this challenge!!! Here's to you meeting all of your goals tomorrow...It isn't easy getting the water in...but I try to drink a bottle of water every time I go out during the day for a smoke...(i know another goal for another day - i'm tackling my hurdles one at a time)

    Goals for tomorrow...

    1) get up by 7:30 am - up and out of the bed!!! - didn't quite make it...got up at about 7:55am...at least it was before 8am
    2) drink 64 ounces or more of water - finishing my last glass as I type
    3) complete writing up assessment from today and turn in for authorization - got it and it didn't need any corrections! I have "graduated" from having to have the clinical director review my assessments to being able to turn them directly in for authorization without the review...yay!
    4) gym at 4:30 pm to meet with fit coach...and workout! - I made it - and man was it a butt kickin!!!

    Hope everyone is doing well...have a great night~
    time for bed!
    ~Mandie

    Goals for tomorrow

    1) get up before 7:00 am to be at work by 8am...
    2) drink 8 + glasses of water
    3) complete at least one full assessment and start to work on another
    4) workout at the gym for more than 30 minutes - include strength training as well as cardio

    Hope everyone has a great night~
