Hi everyone... I am Rose. Feel free to add me. I was doing well health, mentally and spiritually until August when my mom went into a full time nursing home care. Mom passed away on November 22nd. I was on a major foof binge since August, trying to stuff my feelings down and went from 180 up to 206 lbs. When I don't make healthy choices or exercise, I disappear. I have recommited myself to get back on track.

My goals for today :

to eat healthy (making sure to eat either a fruit or vegetable at every meal)
to exercise
to journal my food, exercise and feelings.

I did great yesterday and I feel like I am going to do well today too.

I accomplished my goal for Monday !!!

Great idea for a post! My name is Claire, I'm (reluctantly) single and trying to achieve GW before my 45th birthday (and when I plan to also get a new work contract) in April. I live in the countryside and walk my gorgeous dog, Riley, daily. I need to make the most of my time off and get all those niggling house / d.i.y projects finished so I have less to do when I return to work!

Monday 2nd Jan goals are...

(1). 2 x 1 hour dog walks - YES!
(2). Put up curtain pole and curtain behind back door - NO (got to saw pole down first!)
(3). Start doing sit-ups / stomach crunches - start with 1 x 12 rep - YES! did 2 reps

Tues 3rd Jan goals are...

(1). 2 x 1 hour dog walks
(2). 3 x 12 reps crunches
(3). Finish website (3 new pages & various corrections)

Goals for Jan 02,2012:

do all exercises -- done
stay under calorie goal -- no way
make better food choices -- no

Goals for r Jan 03:

do all exercises
take a walk
get to work by 9

Have a great day, Y'all

Goals for Jan 2
1. Take a walk with one of the dogs (much easier with just one, not all three) - NOPE - it was dark when I got home from #3
2. Drink one 24 oz bottle of water (not nearly enough, but I am starting from ground zero here) - DONE
3. Get together with my friend Yvonne - DONE
4. Shred some more paper (shredded 10 years of old pay slips yesterday [except for the year-end ones] - not sure why I was keeping them all. I definitely have an issue with accumulating paper clutter. Maybe if I get rid of some of the paper clutter I can get rid of some of the body clutter [as FlyLady likes to call it]. It felt good to get rid of it!) - DONE

Goals for Jan 3-
1. drink 32 oz of water
2. clean my desk for 10 minutes
3. go for a walk (lunch or some other time)
I also have a personal training appointment, but getting to that isn't really a goal - the fact that I pay for it motivates me to get there.

January 2
1. Water- 10 glasses- done
2. Walk- 2 miles- one mile
3. Paper work off desk at home- gotta do still
4. Mop floors at work- half done!

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday and continues to strive towards their individual goals.

January 3
1. Water- 10 glasses (if I don't do this one then I forget!
2. Walk 3 miles today
3. Paperwork off home desk with bills paid
4. Finish mopping floors at work

Welcome to so many new folks! Have to get ready for work but will check in soon! SMILE!!!!

I also started adding these to my blog so I can see them easier. But I will continue to write them here too. Hope by doing them twice it makes me accomplish them more.

Yesterdays goals
1) Log everything good or bad (Accomplished was way 300+over)
2) Drink only 2 glasses of pop today. The rest of it crystal light or water. (Accomplished)
3) Make a healthy choice for supper tonight. Going out with friends to a restaurant. (Ended up eating Chicken strips prly not the best choice)

Todays goal
1) Log evertyhing good or bad.
2) Stay withing my callories for the day.
3) Drink no glasses of pop today. Only Crystal light or water.
4) Have a productive day back at work. (first day back after vaca)

This is a great idea! I have another 12lbs left and ate so much the past 3 days... It was only 7lbs on Friday BUT no longer have the bank holiday as an excuse! My goals for today:
stay within calories and carbs
do at least an hour's exercise other than walking
do my reading for an essay
basically stop procrastinating on MFP!

HI! My name is Terri and this sounds great. My only concern is how to find this tomorrow. I did great on this site for the first 5 months last year. Then I guess I just gave up. Instead of hating myself for it, I decided to start over. What a great idea to set small goals for each day.
Jan. 3
1. Drink 4 bottles of water
2. Log in everything
3. Go one more day without a diet pepsi - on day two now
4. At least get the WII Fit in the same room as the TV so I can get it set up!
Good luck everyone.

Hi, Lisa here. Lost 8lbs in a couple weeks in August due to excitement/stress about going back home for a holiday. I did not gain anything while I was in California, but as soon as I returned back to France I put it all back on again. I was not doing anything special to lose that weight. I ate the same and used my elliptical runner 3 times a week. Now that I am doing that again, nothing is happening. I think I need to cut out white foods completely (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes). I am a carbohydrate fiend! I have to do this right because I know I am prone to put it all back on again. I need to make this all a lifestyle change. 2011 was full of health issues (heart, eye, viral infection) which set me back a bit. I have always been healthy, but 2011 kicked my butt. 2012 WILL be different. Good luck to everyone!

1) take down the xmas lights
2) pick up mri results
3) no white foods
4) log daily
5) 30 minutes elliptical
6) 80 crunches on stabilizer ball
