    Good morning everyone!

    Last week was pretty rough, traveling to the office all week for training, lugging computer equiptment back and forth every day and finishing my work nights later than the norm. i saw my personal trainer and he was pleased with my results. I had lost 1/2 lb on the scale.... but better news, I lost 2 1/2 lbs of fat and gained 2 lbs of lean mass. My scale at home shows my weight a little lower and that is the scale I am using to record my results. I must prefer my 5 am weight to my afternoon weight.

    Anyway, my meal plans got tweeked because I will be traveling to Ohio for work for part of the week, so I am testing out my travel menu today. I picked up a protein drink shaker mug, I know it is not going to be the same as using my blender, but if it is tolerable, I can deal with it for a few days.

    My goals for today

    do laundry
    find clothes that look business like and fit me nice for travel in my closet (at this point I will be happy to see what fits)
    pack my suitcase
    register for my flight
    to not stress out.... I really am not looking forward to this trip this year.

    Hope everyone has a great day!!

    After going thru my closet and trying on lots and lots of clothes, I was able to come up with 3 nice outfits for the trip. I cant believe that my previous weight gain mostly settled in my chest and stomach. I would find a pair of pants that looked great and then the matching top would be too tight. Laundry is almost done, suitcase is mostly packed....I checked in for the airport, paid the suitcase fee, packed my computer. And I stayed on track with my meal plan and got my water in. It was basically a good day.

    My goals for Sunday

    To stop at the bank so that I have some spending money for the trip to Ohio.
    To make and pack my lunch for the airport
    To not stress or stress eat.
    To not get upset when the alarms go off at the airport because of my knee replacements and spinal fusion.
    To not eat any airport food.... gonna get a hot coffee or bottled water to go along with my lunch.
    To remember to ask for no sauces on my grilled chicken and to ask for steamed veggies at the restaurant.

    Not sure if I will have time to check in while I am away....but will check in on wednesday evening and let you know how my trip went.

    1. Lots of water!
    2. Stay in my goals.

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Audra and I did MFP a while ago and lost 75 pounds, but after a rough pregnancy and a rough few years of having the baby, I am ready to get back into it.

    I do good all day and then lose my will power at night time.

    My goals for today are:
    Drink over 100 ounces
    Work out for 45 min
    No eating after dinner!!!!!

    Hi everyone. This seems like a good idea. I've been using MFP for over a year now. I've lost some of my motivation, so I'm going to try this and see if I can gain momentum again with my weight loss. I eat well during the day - I just really struggle when I go home and start snacking on junk food in the house.

    My goals today (2/20):
    1- Brave the cold weather and take Zoe (my pup) for a walk.
    2- Burn 300 calories doing Wii Zumba.
    3- Limit my after-dinner snacking.

    Hello. My name is Tracy. I have a perpetual list of things that need doing. Usually I put them off. I no longer call it a "To do" list. It's my procrastion list.

    Today I will clean the grime off the pantry door.
