    Hey Cindi! Thanks for posting this thread! Sometimes I lose sight of what I am trying to accomplish! This month I would like to lose 10lbs and I want to log ALL my food EVERYDAY instead of doing 3-4 days and then slacking on the weekend! Also, I want to keep to my nutrition goals and not go over and get my butt to the gym at least 5 days a week, of not 6.

    Good luck on your goals! I know you can do it!

    I want to be more active in June. I want to keep my journal of eating on a daily basis and stick to the plans at hand. I think it would be great also for me to develop a tickler for my exercise goals as I have not done that. It is good to 'belong' to a group where we can all be supportive. Lets do it!! I want to lose 12 pounds this month. Wooohooo!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    This month I want to try to loose at least 5 pounds or more. I really want to kick my butt in gear and keep track of calories more on the weekends. When the weekend hits I just want to go out to dinner ...that is what i think of when I think of having fun! Sick huh? Anyone have any suggestions!?

How funny it is ! :laugh: I'm going to do 50 squats and 50 pushups and as many crunches as I can do while I watch these silly celebrities. I just had baked boneless skinless chicken breast and steamed brussel sprouts for dinner. :tongue: yummy! I'm hoping to walk 2 miles tonight if it doesn't start storming. Oh ,I love water. Plain ice cold water. :heart: Have a super fab night guys, Cindy :heart:

    Hi team,

    Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I had a 1 pound gain last week and that totally bummed me out, but I'm still working the program - exercising 6 days per week - eating 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. To tell you the truth, it is HARD for me to eat that many times per day. It takes me forever to eat each meal. I feel like as soon as I'm done with one meal it is time for a snack. I am still craving lots of sweets, but I haven't been indulging.
    My goal for June is to lose 10 pounds.

    Have a great evening,

    callie

    Hi team- Callie-hang in there ! You can do it !!!!!! I was watching SO you think you can dance tonight and a girl said something that realy spoke to me. " excuses are the tools of the incompatant" I love that saying !!!!!!! We all have setbacks and little bumps in the road. But we do not need excuses! This is life and in life stuff happens it's how we react to the stuff that's important. :smile: You are doing a great thing by plugging along. Keep it up! :flowerforyou: I had a good day today. I walked 4 miles and did some swimming. I hope you all had a great day too. Cindy :heart:

    :heart: :heart: Hello Cindy and newbies here at the Daily Heet!

    Cindy: great job on keeping the group going (what is left of it), but I am surprised you did not let it die and begin a group of your own. Your leadership and devotion and progress in your journey speaks for itself.

    I am not going to offer any excuses for not being around just life and been busy. I have not read all the post but see that like myself many have left or moved on. June is soon upon us and gives us all more opportunity for outdoor activities and exercise and that's a good thing. Make those shishkabobs to spice up your bar-be-que. One idea is to take cuts of chicken breast, onion, tomato, peppers, pineapple and your favorite marinade or italian dressing and brush on as you are grilling and you are getting in protein, fruit and veggie have a side of rice or pasta and your favorite beverage of lemonaide or ice tea and you've got a great meal and clean up is a breeze. We are doing alot of grilling out and I love it especially when we are so busy.

    Well keep up the good work, and make it a great day!!!!!

    Hi Team- How is everyone? Debbie it is great to hear from you. I miss you ,hazel, lucy,bebe, julie sooooo much. I am so happy new members have joined. Debbie thank you for the compliments. :heart: I am glad your enjoying your summer. Well Heeters, I did 2 miles this morning and I will walk 2 more tonight. I hope to get a couple hours in the pool too. I have a crockpot full of Pinto beans cooking. They smell soo yummy. I plan to top a cup full with some low fat cheese and sour cream for dinner. I hope everyone has a great weekend. What are some fun things you'll be doing this weekend? I have to babysit all day tomorrow so we'll probably spend the afternoon at the pool. My dad has a timeshare in Branson , missouri. We're meeting him there in September for a week. I'm so very exited! I haven't seen him for almost 2 years. oK team I'm going to go have lunch- ttfn- Cindy :heart:

    hey heeters -

    did everyone have a good weekend? We spent the day walking around a zoo yesterday. It was a beautiful day in New England yesterday.

    Hi Heeters, How is everyone? The zoo sounds so fun! When we lived in Ohio we were only 30 minutes from a huge zoo. Here in Texas the nearest zoo is 250 miles away. :grumble: I weighed in yesterday and I'm down 3.6 pounds. :smile: I'm trying to ready the troops to go walking this morning. Let's all try to make this week a fabulous week in terms of our healthy lifestyles. Log lots of exercise and remember to log your foods too. Drink that water-eat those veggies and fruits I know we can do it!!! ttfn- Cindy :heart:

    Hey y'all!!! Sorry I have been gone so long... I had to go on a short deployment. I am so glasd to be back, though. I have a 10 lb goal for June. I think that's a little ambitious, but we'll see. I also want to average 2 bike rides to work per week with a long ride on Sat or Sun and get into the gym for weight training 3 times per week. I have to go catch up on the news in the threads, but I'll be around. I hope y'all have a great week.:happy:

    Hi Heeters- How is everyone? Sorry I've been MIA . I've been plugging away with my exercise and eating well. I'm walking 4-5 miles a day, swimming most days for 2 hours and doing my upper body strength training twice a week. I started the 100 sit ups challenge and the 200 squat challenge this week so I've been doing squats and pushups too. :smile: I'm still loving this way of life. :smile: I hope everyone is having a great day- ttfn- Cindy :heart:

    HELLO HEETERS! This MIA person has finally found the new thread and is back. 3lb.s heavier, sad to say.

    I have come to realize that since I have stopped logging and exercising, my healthy lifestyle sort of went out the window. But, now that I have found the June thread (now that half the month is gone), I hope to get down to business and start up again.

    Cindy, I am sooo happy for you. You have found your new lifestyle and doing soooo good at it. You are indeed,quite the example of what i need to follow.

    Today I went to a friend's to help her with her babysitting her two sons and 2 nephews and a niece. It was fun. Unfortunately with the storm, they couldn't play out and so our activities was limited. She mentioned she would like to take the children to the pool in the afternoons so I am volunteering to tag along to help her with the little kiddies. If I don't get myself moving, their running me ragged will help, don't you agree? They are sooo full of energy I wish I could just learn how I can extract some of that for myself. lol.

    I will work towards a goal of 5 lb loss for the month of June. Then come July I really need to crack down and work harder.

    Will post again tomorrow. Nice to see Bryce, Debbie, Callie and all the newbies on. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.... real soon.

    TTFN. Hazel

    Hi Team- Hazel- so great to hear from you ! I love all things beans. I always thought is was a West Virginia thing since my grandma from W.V taught me how to make them. :heart: They are super yummy and oh so healthy. :heart: Boy, I know what you mean about little ones and their energy. I spent 2 hours at the pool with a bunch of little ones and I'm beat. :smile: I'm making turkey taco salad for dinner and later on I'll walk 2.5 miles. I was afraid for all of you MIA gals. I was afraid you all might be getting off the healthy lifestyle and possibly gaining what you've lost. I'm so glad you found the thread and are ready to get back to business. :flowerforyou: I'm going to go fold some laundry- ttfn- Cindy :heart:

    Hi Heeters- I had weigh in this morning and I'm down 4 pounds. I woke up with a headache so no am walking for me. I hope to get to the pool tonight and I'll walk 2 miles tonight too. I did do my upper body strength training while I was watching Slum Dog Millionaire. That is a great movie. I've got a pork loin with some bbq sauce simmering in the crockpot right now. That plus baked potatoes will be dinner. I hope everyone is having a super great day! Cindy :heart:

    Hi everyone...it's me Lucy. I'm sure those that know who I am are shocked and amazed...:smile: Matt has finally graduated and his Open House was this past Saturday...all the family is gone and we have our house back totally after having been "invaded" for about 15 days. What a mess to clean up!

    Now I can finally get myself in gear...as I've been out of "me gear" for quite some time. :grumble:

    Anyway, I wanted to check in and I hope to be able to do this daily now. We are now playing the waiting game for Matt to ship out in August/September sometime. I want this summer to be his fun one before walking straight into adulthood.

    Anyway, talk to you all later!

    Lucy xxoo

    Welcome back Lucy !!!!! :flowerforyou: I have missed ya. :smile: I'm so happy everthing with Matt went well . They grow up way to fast. :cry: It seems like yesterday my 10 year old was a baby. Ok team- I am doing 5 miles of walking every day now. We swim almost every day for 2 hours. I do strength training upper body 3 days a week . I also do 100 squats and 60-75 pushups 3 days a week. I am noticing that all the weight work and squats are working. I'm losing tons of inches as well as 2-3 pounds most weeks. I love this way of life. :heart: I am making turkey taco salad for dinner. I am also making a strawberry cake made with 1 can of diet strawberry pop. Ok team- Off to the pool we go. ttfn- Cindy :heart:

    Hi Cindy, Debbie and Lucy! My gosh! It seems like I have been gone forever!!!! Cindy your new picture looks wonderful and congratulations on all your hard work and weight and inches loss. I think soon you will be able to be my personal trainer. LOL.

    I have gone out the door walking for two days now and that is my new goal to walk every day. I have gone out early morning and it has been cool enough with a slight breeze blowing. Very nice.

    Cindy, I enjoy reading what all you are doing. You go girl. Wish I was as young as you to have all that energy but unfortunately that is never to be. I will have to do what I can for myself and reading your posts are very inspirational. keep it up.

    Welcome back Lucy. Sure have missed you gal. I am so happy all went so well with Matt's graduation and party. Enjoy him while he is still at home this summer. it will be hard to see him go, but I know this is what he wants and we appreciate his desire to serve. Will look forward to your posts again now that your company's gone.

    Debbie, how is the remodeling going? Garden doing well I am sure and you reaping the benefit of healthy fresh veggie eating. What a great lifestyle! I haven't done any gardening and looks like that is out the window for me this year.

    TTFN....Hazel

    H Team- Hi Hazel :flowerforyou: It's great to hear from you ! Great job on your walking. I know that walking is a great exercise. Very underated in my opinion. I just got back from my morning 3 miles. Thanks for the encouraging words Hazel. Ya know whats funny? I was telling my husband the other day after I get to my goal weight and stay there a year I want to launch a personal weight loss /training program . I know schooling is involved and I'm ready to do whatever it takes. Today is my second week day 2 of my push up and squat challenges. 53 push ups and 96 squats for me today. I hope to swim a couple hours too. I hope everyone has a great day. Cindy :heart:
