    1. At LEAST 8 glasses of water a day - killed it, but I think a sore throat helps me drink more water!
    2. Cover all of my food groups for the day while staying within the parameters of my diet - killed it!
    3. Give myself 20 minutes of meditation time before bed this evening - killed it!

    1. Purchase a resistance ball
    2. 20 minutes of yoga/stretching/breathing
    3. All of the goals from yesterday

    Hello All and Happy New Year!

    My goals for today are pretty simple as I try to get back on plan after a two week vacation for the holidays. Thankfully I didn't go crazy over the holidays but haven't been working out, which killed me but with an ailing mother and other things to take care of it was just too taxing. Anyways here are my main goals for today:

    1. Go on a 3 mile run with my dog.
    2. Drink 64 ounces of water.
    3. Eat 6-12 servings of veg and fruit.

    Here's to keeping promises to myself and getting back to my normal weight.

    Plan for Jan 5:
    1. Yoga Class
    2. Small calorie bump - might be a good day for some lean meat or eggs
    3. Get my daugther started with one of her crafty Christmas presents.

    Check yall tomorrow!

    Been a good day today. I haven't eaten enough and know it. I'm struggling a bit with it because I'm not very hungry at the moment. I'm going to buff dinner with a handful of almonds and milk and see how that goes. Yoga class was awesome, really enjoyed it and my daughter and I are getting ready to try out knitting a hat.

    Plan for Jan 6:
    1. Deal with being out Friday night and stay out of the high calorie stuff
    2. Use extra risers at step class
    3. Watch a little tv

    Hi! My name is Cheryl, I'm 26 from New Zealand and relatively new here.
    My goals are probably a little different to some, I am in recovery from an eating disorder and I come here (use the android app mainly) to try make sure I'm getting enough food and not over exercising. A way to be accountable.
    I have a great supportive partner and a great 12 year old stepson. I'm currently unemployed/working on my health.

    My goals for 6/1/12

    1. Get to my doc appointment at 9.30 - (Made it but was running late!)
    2. Get enough calories
    3. Stick to under 2 hours walking.

    Thanks for this topic its great!

    I like this idea! I am an American Sign Language teacher in the high school. I am on my feet all day so I am exhausted at the end of the schol day. I have been overweight all my life and am really tired of it. I have tried and failed at losing weight. I have tried MFP a couple of times but have not stuck with it. I like the idea of doing this one day at a time. I have three sons (two in college and one in HS) My husband is amazing and very patient. I would love to be in better shape for him.

    Goals for tomorrow: record every thing I eat
    prayer and reading the Bible
    drink lots of water

    Day two goals!!!

    I just finished day one of 30 day shred. So this will go along perfectly!!

    1. Finish all filing at work. (I mean ALL)

    2. Finish phone calls at work (ALL!!)

    3. Get a good afternoon workout. 30 min straight.

    4. NO DR. PEPPER!!!!!!!

    Good luck with #4!! That is a killer! I have found that a Caffine-free Diet Dr. Pepper hits the spot when I'm having serious cravings. I don't normally like diet drinks, but I'd rather have a diet Dr. Pepper than none at all!

    Well, I am off to a good start.l I met my goals for both days just an idea for someone that needs help making their goals. The first night I made a list of things that I need to accomplish, cut them out and put them in a box to draw out of. It is keeping it kinda innteresting because I don't know what I will get each day, but I know it is something I need to do or be working on. So here are my goals for tomorrow
    1. Plan a grocery list (I did this today so I will select another)
    2. Do 1@ min of stretching
    3. Clean out refrigerator
    4. Shred for an hour
