Good morning everyone. How is everybody? DH and I are leaving to go camping today and will be back on Saturday. So if I could pass the torch to someone to start the thread for the next couple of days that would be great.

Did you stay within your Nutritional Goals? No, went 193 over my calories, which raises the question, how many of you are at 1200/day + exercise cal (thats what I'm trying to do)?

Did I reach yesterdays personal goal? Yes, I journaled every bite, which is how I know I went over that much.

What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I drank all my water (it's been awhile since I've done that). And I walked 3 miles and burned 503 calories.

What would I have done differently? Only had one Lemon Poppy seed muffin, that's about the amount I was over.

What is today's personal goal? My goal for the next four days is still to journal everything. Just cuz I did it one day doesn't mean its a regular habit yet. While camping, I won't have any reference as to how many calories I've used so I will just be sure to write everything down.

    Congrats
  • that's awesome that you journaled everything!!! I wouldn't worry too much about 193 calories - that's not terribly much to go over. Just get back on track today and exercise a little bit!! Great job burning 500 cals!

    Did you stay within your Nutritional Goals? Yes I did for a change.

    Did I reach yesterdays personal goal? Yes I exercised without grumbling.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Did a walk/run 4 miles in 60 minutes and burned 532 calories, 7 minutes better than last time.

    What would I have done differently? Worked out earlier or later in the day, it was hot out there.

    What is today's personal goal? To stay within my calories and exercise again to burn over 500 calories again.

    Nicole, have fun this weekend. I will take over the thread while you are gone.

    Did you stay within your Nutritional Goals? Yes. I'm at 1250-1300 and eat most of my exercise cals.

    Did I reach yesterdays personal goal? No, my goal was to burn 400 or 500 cals (can't remember), but I only burned 270.

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I got my dogs hair cut :) Does that count? LOL!

    What would I have done differently? . I would've walked when the boy was at daycare. I could've gotten at least 600 cals without him.

    What is today's personal goal? Well it's raining, but I have my rain coat and I will burn 500 cals today!

    Nlongenecker--
    And as you asked everyone about cals. Mine are 1250-1300 plus exercise cals most days. Now that my stomach has shrunk down to normal, I can eat a protein bar and almonds for breakfast, lunch is a sandwich and a side like yogurt. Dinner is some sort of meat....like chicken or a lean hamburger patty with a huge salad. I have a salad almost every night with dinner. My friends can veiw my food diary so feel free to take a look. Just keep in my that I just changed over the set-up so it looks odd. Also there are times when I log something into the wrong slot because I know I've had that food it in that slot before. KWIM? :laugh:

    Did I reach yesterdays personal goal? Yes - only ate half of my exercise calories!

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I drank loads of water, worked out and had calories leftover

    What would I have done differently? I could have subsituted my food for fresh produce! Somehow I never around to that!

    What is today's personal goal? Well tonight is my "last chance Workout" before my weigh in tomorrow so I really want/need to push it tonight so my personal goal is to stay within my cals, and work my *kitten* off tonight after work!

  • Hey ladies... I managed to find an AWESOME ice cream at the grocery store. Its 1/2 the fat of regular and 120 cals per serving. Its made by Turkey Hill..we got the cookies and creme. The hubs LOVED it..surprisingly!!!!....It tasted just like the real thing!!!!! The weather here in NEPA has been crappy and cold. I haven't walked since Sunday in North Carolina:(:(:(:..I don't have any work out vids for when the weather is not so good...:grumble:

    Did you stay within your Nutritional Goals? Yes I did. Its really hard to eat all of my cals because I am at 2000 cals a day. I started out at 1600 but realized my breastmilk supply was going down. I have to eat more because I am breastfeeding. My weightloss will only be about 1.5 pounds a week...But slow and steady is great from what I hear!!:)
    Did I reach yesterdays personal goal? Sure....I now weigh 243 even.....And I realized that I didn't really gain any weight from the holiday weekend!! Go me!!!:tongue:

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Found the new ice cream, didn't eat any junk food...drank all of my water::happy:

    What would I have done differently? Gone to the mall and walked...Which maybe I will do tonight..:wink:

    What is today's personal goal? Hopefully start my strength training after the kids I babysit go home.....:drinker:

    So far I'm on track with calories (1200 is my goal, and I don't eat all my exercise calories because I've found that 1200-1300 is what makes me lose weight at about a pound a week). I did my workout (an hour bike ride) after I dropped the kids off @ school this morning, and will probably do the 30 Day Shred Level 1 later (if my arms, legs, and *kitten* can take it!)

    Went to have lunch with daughter at school, instead of fast food which I would have ordinarily stopped and gotten, I made a salad with a handful of cooked chicken on top. Couldn't even finish it!
