    1. Do 20 minutes minimum real exercise today.
    2. Stay near calories goal within 100 or under

    3. Healthy choices and stay in my calorie goal. --Yes. (Close but no)

    Missed posting yesterday but had a fairly good day. Went over my calorie goals a bit but not bad.

    I could never drink just one cup of coffee! Good thing its actually loaded with antioxidants and is good for lots of other things, too. Just don't put all the sweet creamers and sugar in it. I love coffee!

    I know I'm a little late, but I'd like to join as well. My name is Caitlin. I work at a very active job and am very busy, leaving me little time or energy for solid exercise. While my job does keep me on my feet a lot, it also encourages me to eat not so healthily, since I'm often eating on the go. I need a little accountability for my choices and I'm hoping this group will help. Today is already half over, but my goal for the remainder of the day is to not sabatoge my eating in the afternoon and evening just because I've already made some not great choice this morning. I'll hopefully be back tomorrow with new goals!!!

    My goals for Saturday

    Not sure how the day is gonna go, since I have a 6am glocuse tolenance test. I have had some issues with my blood sugar dropping (at Christmas dinner, my blood sugar dropped to 40). My sister tested it when I told her I felt like I was going to pass out about 15 minutes after dinner. So, if I don't fall out flat on the floor....

    Lots of blood work.....all the regular blood tests along with testing me for MS, Lupus and Lyme disease again because of all the joint pain I have. (I have 2 cousins with Lupus and one cousin with Lyme disease) had to put it off til next week.

    Appointment with my personal trainer done with great results
    Do laundry gonna do it tomorrow

    Journal my food honestly done, I have to keep checking my meal plan since the portions got changed
    Drink my green tea and water. done

    We are supposed to get about 3 inches of snow tomorrow.....so hoping it just passes us by. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

    I got up this morning at 5am to get over to have my bloodwork done. Luckily, the snow was mostly on the cars, grass and trees. Since my doctor didnt't specify the type of glocuse tolerance test, they couldnt do any of the bloodwork. So I went home and had my regular breakfast. So that will be put off until next Saturday.

    My appointment with my personal trainer went really well. I lost 2 1/2 lbs this week. So since the beginning of January, I am down 10 1/2 lbs of fat. My lean mass has stayed about the same. He added more calories to my meal plan and wants me to exercise more. He knows that I hate to exercise...but I do feel better when I do.

    Just finished dinner, so time to get the dishes done and then go ride my exercise bike. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!!

    I am a teacher - 32 years now. I am married - 30 years now. I have a daughter - 27, married, lawyer, but not making much money in this horrid economy. When she has a case near us, she stays with us. I have a son, 25, unmarried, scientist in a laboratory at a food prodcution company where he makes and tastes different pizzas a lot - don't have to worry about HIM starving. I have two cats and a golden retriever named Annabelle who loves to go walking and jogging with me! I am still 35 pounds overweight and stuck on a 20 pound loss plateau. I gained a ton of weight due to issues at work regarding harassment and libel - which ended up making me very depressed and lethargic. The depression meds didn't help with the weight, either. I am now in a new position and on a different med. I hav enoticed a BIG difference, but would like to be more healthy than I was even five years ago before all of this s*#t came down the pike!:flowerforyou:

    Hi, I'm Zara. I'm new to this challenge but love the concept. I'm off work ill at the moment waiting for gall bladder surgery. My livers not functioning too well and my blood pressure drops very low because of it. I'm on a lot of pain meds and I am having to take every day as it comes, so this is a perfect challenge for me as I can see how I am when I wake up and set my challenges for the day. Even if its a bad day I can still have something to be proud of. Thankyou very much for carrying on the challenge. You'll see a lot more of me. Yesterday I went on a walk, cleaned the whole house and cooked up evening meals for most of the week, so today I'm not too good.

    Goals for Sunday 12th Feb.
    1. Reduce sleeping medication by half. (Huge challenge, I'm already on half what I was 2 weeks ago for the last 8 years)
    2. Eat no more than 1570 calories. (Set my goal at loose 1.5lbs as I'm not sleeping and some night time eating is occuring now and then)
    3. Drink 8 glasses of water.

    Check in tomorrow! Zara X

    Goals for Feb. 11:
    1. Do my morning meditation.--No.
    2. 1 mile walk and 15 minute abs session.--Yes to both.
    3. Healthy choices and stay in my calorie goal.--No and no.
    4. Water and tea.--Need to do better!
    I am seriously considering going back to just healthy choices and portion control. I'm not sure why, but I lost weight SO much easier when I wasn't counting calories and was just eating healthier! I am going to try this for a while and see what happens.
