    Goals for January 10:
    1. Walking workout--calendar. (2 mile walk) --Yes.
    2. Stay in my calorie goal with HEALTHY choices! --No.
    3. More liquids--water and tea.--Yes.

    Didn't do well on the food front but didn't do really bad, either--just not the best day, food-wise. Produce is getting SO expensive!

    Good for you, RoseyK on not stress eating! I know how hard that can be!

    My goals for Wednesday

    going to the gym went walking in the neighborhood before the rain
    drinking 8 glasses of water or green tea (no coffee) done
    no stress eating done...
    journaling my food honestly done
    paint my nails forgot about this....got to go look at the nail polish colors....hmmm

    Hope everyone is having a good night.

    I really think my fresh flowers on my desk are helping me to not stress eat. I love the smell of roses...when I get stressed, I stop and smell my flowers. I have been following my food journal that my personal trainer wrote up for me. Basically the same food choices day 1 and day 2. My blood sugars are staying level and I havent had that feeling to go down and eat the entire refrigerator. I meet up with him on Friday to see how I am doing. (He has one of those tools that measure your body fat) along with getting the scale weight. I am even starting to sleep better.

    I kept within my calories, logged everything and drank 8 glasses of water. But the other two just didn't happen. It was a bad day at work and when I got home I had no energy to go for a walk. Nor was the weather cooperative.

    Today's Goals
    1 Log everything.
    2 Stay within my calories.
    3 Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
    4 Have a good day at work

    Goals for Thursday & Friday were:
    1. get at least one good dog walk in this morning.
    2. small clean up at my house until I get a call to help mom move. (ongoing)
    3. buy some shoes for my poor son who keeps telling me he needs shoes.

    I only completed 1 of these goals so I think it's time to change them.

    Goals for Today are:
    1. Stop & think things out.
    2. Get my dog out & get myself a workout while doing it.
    3. Figure out coach gifts for football banquet

    I'm feeling a little shaky today. It's probably hormone overload but it still doesn't feel good.

    I am so in on this ~ I need to actually make myself accountable for the things that I "want" to do. I believe if I write them down on a forum I will do them, since I don't like to say things that I won't actually do.

    1.) Get the house picked up and my two girls rooms cleaned and organized. Which is a big task at hand in my two year old tornado of a room. I clean it daily and she manages to wreck it right after I do so.
    2.) Get outside and take a walk with my girls and my two dogs. It should be fun considering I will have a stroller for the three month old, my eyes on the two year old and walking two large rot/dobie mixes, who like to pull on their leash!
    3.) Do the 30 day shred! rarrr...its my sworn enemy, but the only way that I can workout with two little ones and a deployed husband! (if I have time, I will do 20-30 of Pilates as well!)
