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 - NO! (1 only due to crazy gales & hailstones & rain)
(2). 3 x 12 reps crunches - YES!
(3). Finish website (3 new pages & various corrections) - In Progress!
I'm dropping out of this daily challenge as it involves too much scrolling and life is short! Have fun everyone.0 -
Aloha, my name is Chari, 51 years old no children but my husband of 24 years has a daughter with 4 children and 2 grandkids, so essentially I am a step-grandma and great grandma. Moved to Hawaii 4 years ago from California. I have stayed pretty active until a little over 2 years ago when I decided to go back to school to finish my bachelor's degree. Working full time and going to school, although it's online left me sedentary and hardly any time for anything else. Thank goodness for a supportive husband. Finally finished my classes in November 2011 and now I can focus on me. I have been walking at least 2X/wk, taking zumba classes almost every Saturday and occasional weight training/aerobic exercise. This year I am committed to take care of my body and get more involved with my community. Thank you for this forum, great way to start the new year.
January 1 goals:
1) Clean off my desk at home (1/2 way done)
2) Clean off my bathroom counters (yes)
3) Eat within my allotted calories (yes)
January 2 goals:
1) Finish cleaning cleaning my desk - done
2) Either walk or do weight training exercise- walked to beach 1.5 miles back & forth
3) Start filling out application for real estate broker license - no
January 3 goals:
1) Walk at lunch with co-worker
2) Walk after work to the beach or zumba class
3) Drink 10 cups water0 -
Today's goals were:
1) Do a minimum of 60min intense exercise at the gym and burn at least 500 cal (did over 60min exercise but only burned 456kcal)
2) Eat as healthy as possible (I did eat rather healthy. Could have been better though)
3) Take my dog for a run on the beach (Nope, didn't get it done today)
Tomorrow's goals are:
1) Burn 600kcal minimum
2) Take dog to beach
3) Drink at least 2 litres of water0 -
Plan for Jan 3:
1. Kick *kitten* in high intensity pool workout AND pick up two miles - Woot!! Done.
2. STAY FOCUSED and PRODUCTIVE at work all day - Lots of distractions, but stil managed to complete a few things
3. No meat, Low Sugar - YES!
4. Survive the low temps - Yes, though not gracefully. I hate cold.
5. Play Zelda (I love it but never make time for it. The reader post insipired this one) - Starting it up in about an hour. Nothing to stop me so it should be a go!
Plan for Jan 4:
1. Adjust gym plan around my kid's doctor appt. Will probably mean after work rather than during lunch (which likely leads to lunch out with co-workers, argh!)
2. Find something reasonable at a not so healthy local lunch place
3. Less than 1.5 hours of 'screen time' (tv, iphone, PC, etc) when not at work.
It's tough for me to keep everyone straight. Feel free to friend me, I hope it will make i easier to follow. 0 -

Hi my name is Alicia, I am 20 and trying to maintain healthy habits. I would like to get down to 130 again but in a much more healthy way.

So my goals for Jan 3rd are-
1. keep adding all my food in for the day and stop when I have no more calories to eat
2. Do my new Jillian workout cardio video today!
3. DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!! I am very very dehydrated today because of my lack of drinking water lately.

I didn't have time to post my goals earlier today or do a recap for yesterday, so I am going to now. Better late than never, right?! Yesterday went great! I stuck to my calorie goals and logged everything and did my first day of TurboFire AND drank all 8 glasses of water! Today was a busy day for me and my goals were to stick to calorie goal and do day 2 of TF. I did both! Two days down 28 to go! I can do this! We all can!! Tomorrow is a rest day for me on the TurboFire plan, but I may work out if I feel like being CRAZY!
Goals for tomorrow (1-4-12):
Stick to calorie goal
Drink 6-8 glasses of water (the potty breaks are killing me!)0 -

make better food choices & stay under calorie limit
send two b'day cards
get to work by 100 -

One form of exercise - I've done my 25 Jumping Jacks
Drink more water - Will try again but finding this one difficult
Sort my paperwork out for my first day back in the office

First time poster; I'm a mother of three (15, 8, & 5) I joined MFP in March and did absolutely nothing with it. 2 days after Christmas I saw a picture of myself and decided it was time to get real with myself, so here I am. Today, it has been 1 week and I have been able to reduce my insulin intake from 200 units daily to 90 units daily. It is amazing how changing your diet and adding walking each day can actually change your life.
Goal 1: Set my food plan for today
Goal 2: Walk for a mile
Goal 3: Create categories in my diary so my snacks are separated between meals.0 -
Goals for Jan 3-
1. drink 32 oz of water - DONE
2. clean my desk for 10 minutes - FAILED - had a couple meetings I had forgotten about and had to respond to our lawyers. But it is still pathetic that I couldn't find 10 minutes in my day to do this.
3. go for a walk (lunch or some other time) - Done - yay me - almost put it off, but didn't
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. DONE
Goals for Jan 4 -
1. drink 48 oz of water - will be a challenge without going to the gym
2. clean my desk for 10 minutes
3. go for a walk
4. make my lunch
5. call Kevin Urie and write Depletions PA (doesn't mean anything to anyone else, but is a related to a big work project I have been putting off)0 -
Ok after reading the last 2 days worth of goals I realized I haven't been completing all of them! So today I will finish up all of those ( except the Standout program for work, waiting on a new one) and these,
1. Mop the floors, knock down cobwebs, dust, vacuum, finish laundry!
2. Finish the kitchen, put everything away!
3. Fix dad's birthday cake and dinner!
4. Make an appointment to get my Trailblazer inspected before I get a ticket! Completely forgot about that last month!0
