WOW! Yesterday was awful. Just one of those days that started off okay, but one simple mistake and it went down hill from there. Nothing went as planned! :explode: I finally said screw it at work, came home, took a shower, cooked and cleaned up dinner, decided to work on tax stuffs (couldn't fine it all!) Went to bed at 8:30!

So Good Sunday Morning to everyone! I am going to stick with yesterday's goals with a little modification and see what I can accomplish today! Starting off well, (I already found the papers I couldn't find yesterday :blushing: I hope your day is wonderful!

2.Finish setting up new computers
3. Organize belts at work
4. Prepare tax stuffs and billing
5. Grocery!!!
6. Wii 30 minutes

Here we go again but starting out better!!!!

Well logging is becoming easier and easier. Yesterday's foods were not so good. I made it til 2 pm and than I grabbed the doughnut and then when we went out I got my old standby. The good news I only went over by 300 and I also drank extra water. My bosses have also decided to supplement our normal doughnut Saturdays with fresh fruit. Which I plan to take full advantage of ... know if I can only convince them to grab fresh apples instead of grapes and bananas. (not a big fan of either)

Today's goals
1) Log everything.
2) Stay within my calories.
3) Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
4) Figure out meals for the week.
5) Go grocery shopping.

Leanne here, I work 4 ten hour days and have 4 days off. On days off I go to the gym the house is clean....ish, spend time with my kids. But on my days on I am up at 4am, get home from work about 4pm (after I pick up the kids), I do no house cleaning in these 4 days, sometimes get to the gym sometimes I don't (weekends the gym closes before I get home) and that must mean there is absolutely no way I can do any form of exercise before bed right!?! The one day challenges are going to be great to get me up and moving before bed.

Jan 8- 1) to do a video exercise before bed ( instead of watching Dexter)
2) clean the kitchen, vacuum
3) not have an evening snack

Recap of my week:

I completed every goal I made so far! I am proud of myself for that reason even if I don't show a loss on the scale tomorrow.

Todays goals:

Stick to calorie goal
TurboFire: DONE!
Drink 4-6 glass of water

My goals for Sunday

To go to church.... something usually comes up and I wind up missing. I got there, even though I woke up late. YAY
To continue to get my water in (drinking green tea) I have really cut down on my coffee consumption. done
To journal honestly. done
To get ready for work on Monday....have my meals pre- made so there is less of a chance for me to get side tracked on my food choices. done

I am loving this day to day thread....breaking everything down by the day is really helping me to stay focused.

I went to lunch at Qdoba's after church which was not planned... I got a vegetable burrito, which was delicious.... problem was the darn thing was 900 calories...who would have thought... geez. I journaled honestly...but went over my calories.

Hi My name is Velvet and I am 43 years old. My boyfriend and I love to cook and eat so we have both put on a few extra pounds. He and I are both using myfitness pal and are having fun laughing at eachother when we mess up and eat to much, but we are trying to be faithful in loging what we eat. I have been sick the last week so I havent been able to exercise much but this is a new week and I am ready for the challenge. Bring it....

My goals are to:
1. Log everything I eat good or bad.
2. Drink more water
3. Start riding my bike on the beach at least 3 times a week.

My goals for Monday

To continue to journal honestly done
To drink 8 glasses of water (green tea) and not drink coffee done
To follow my eating plan done
To not stress out....and if I do, to not use food to push down the stress. done
To exercise at the gym after work. did not do...was not feeling all that good. taking it easy tonight

today was pretty good. I got on the scale and lost 3 lbs since I started. My blood sugars are stablizing, which is a good sign. Almost forgot to mention...the pink roses that I bought for myself on Sunday and have on my desk have helped me to not stress eat. When ever I felt stressed, I smelled my roses. I think I am going to keep fresh flowers at my desk. It really helps.
