6. Any take-out will be carefully researched before ordering.
7. I will not feel bad for the two days that I will be off - My birthday and the day after.
8. Water, water, water, water, enough water to be water-logged... lol
9. I will try 3 new foods per week.
10. Lastly, I will make an effort to decrease my white starch intake, keeping an eye on what percentage of my calories are coming from them.

1. Log onto MFP each day
2. Drink more water
3. eat smaller portions
4. no adde salt/sugar
5. exercise 5 times a week
6.stop putting myself down

Lots of goals, and I need to sign off now to meet goal # 6.

I must confess.... only 10 hours in and I have already been sabotaged! I was up at 4:30 am ready to work out when my 6 year old walked in wanting to watch me work out. I struggled but finally decided I had to get back in bed with him otherwise he would stay up. He normally sleeps until 7am so staying up would definately start his week out bad and we are struggling with paying attention in school enough as it it.

And I know some will say I should have waited for him to fall asleep and then gotten up but he was latched onto my arm and awake for 30 minutes telling me he knew I was "trying to trick him" and that as soon as he fell asleep I was going to get up and kept saying "I know mommy thats what you are going to do so I'm not going to sleep!"

So I sacrificed my morning workout. Normally I would say oh well, I will do my 30 minutes of arms during lunch and just forget about my hour of cardio... but because of this challenge I will not let this beat me!!!! I am going to workout as soon as I get home tonight (I hate working out at night and if I wait longer than that I won't be able to find the motivation to do it).

Just had to get that out there because I have been having doubts already as to whether or not I will really workout tonight but really don't want to fail on the 1st day. So thanks! And good luck to everyone else!
