Well, once again, I did not get up until after 8 am...grrr...my hubby and best friend say it's a mind over matter thing...and it must be...i guess...I mean I get up at 7:30ish to use the bathroom and have a smoke...so why can't i just stay up????
I did drink 60 ounces of water - actually more...and instead of a workout on the wii fit, i went to the gym and did the Arc trainer for 30 minutes...
tomorrow
1. 9:00 to the gym for workout with coach
2. drink 64 ounces of water
3. do something fun!

Hi it's me. sorry I haven't put up any goals but I was in Laughlin on a mini-trip. I am glad to report though that I did excellent on my calorie goals. I was fair on my water....did not drink but one Coke Zero. I did not have any alcoholic drinks while gambling...asked for water only. I was so determined to stay focused that I left Laughling each day and drove to the Bullhead City Library to log my food everyday. I ate at the Riverside Buffet 3 times and never had a desert. I ate salad, salad and baked chicken with vegetables. I am very pleased and can't wait to weigh in the morning.
Goals for Sat. 12-17
1. Drink my 64 ounces of water (hope for more)
2. Find my 2009 tax statements....a must
3. Put up some Christmas decorations
Have a great weekend.0 -
December 16
Fasting this morning for blood work, didn't really get on computer. Here are my goals for today
1. 10-12 glasses of water=Done
2. Fruits and veggies- 5-7 servings= great salad for dinner helped!
3. Eat dinner!= actually had real food!
So while yesterday was hard on the food diary, because of fast, I did make really wise choices when I did get to eat, so am proud of that! The plan needs to be followed in spite of trip home to MD. I have got to get in those veggies.
MandieO- What time are you going to bed? Just asking...had a girlfriend that I never planned anything in the AM with cause she was nocturnal. Not great for doing things, but that is when she operated best. I have to have 8-9 hours a night or a tend to crash.
Mvkrayola- The trip sounds wonderful and you did a great job on choices. I hope your weigh in is great this morning.
Purplecookie- I hope you feel good about those finals!
AmyinMD- Sounds like you have a plan for the Christmas party! Remember to drink your water too! Keep up the work with the spirometer.
Denise- Sugars are so hard to avoid this time of year. My husband is the worst at buying what I am avoiding. He is a big kid. I did get lucky at the shop and my favorite cookies were all gone the first day, so at least I can avoid the rest. Has me rethinking my cookie baking for Christmas!
December 17
1. 10-12 glasses of water
2. 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies
3. Get all paperwork and housework done in preparation for holidays!0 -
Man it's been a bad couple of days.
1. clean bathroom down to wiping baseboards and floor by hand.
2. water
3. take a walk.0 -

I generally go to bed on weeknights before 10 pm...usually between 9 and 9:30pm. There really is no reason I shouldn't be able to get up in the morning...I just wonder if I'm in the middle of a sleep cycle when I am trying to get up at 7am...who knows....
Well as for my goals today...hmmm...I made it to the gym...coach kicked my butt again!!! we got through the workout and then he tells me ok..we're going to do it all again!!! I just about ran out of there...but the second time around it was a little easier actually...so i guess he knows what he's doing....that's why he's the coach...not me...LOL.
I didn't quite make it with the water today...no reason why...just didn't get to it...
But i did do something fun...bought some water soluble oil paints and tried them out.
Goals for tomorrow...
1) work out for at least 30 minutes at the gym or walk with hubby
2) drink 64 oz of water
3) write in my journal
Have a great night all...

2. Success.
3. Not yet, no free time at work and no energy to take work home with me...

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!
