    Goals for March 5:
    1. Plenty of fluids!--Not bad, should still be better!
    2. Stay on my plan!!!l--Again, did well most of the day but slipped in the afternoon.
    3. 1 mile walking workout.--Yes, and a short walk in the rain with my grandson. (He does't care what the weather is like!)

    I'm starting to feel better.

    This week is a challenge for me--3 birthdays! Today is my son-in-law's, Thursday is mine, and Saturday is my brother's. Usually we celebrate them all o n one day but my DD and S-i-L are going away for the weekend so we are celebrating them individually this time! There won't be much cake but there will be special foods as tradition says the birthday person gets to pick what the evening meal is. (I said that I didn't care so long as I didn't have to cook it or clean up afterwards!)

    Goals for March 6:
    1. Plenty of fluids!
    2. Stay on my plan!!!l.
    3. 1 mile walking workout.

    My name is Kat (Kathy) and I am not new to MFP but I am new to this group. I have strayed and fell off the wagon since the holidays. I am struggling to get back into it.

    My goals for this week:

    1) Maintain a low-carb week and stay under my fat and calorie allowance.
    2) Start 30-day shred with kettlebell workout and do it 3 times this week.
    3) Drink more water.
    4) Possible fourth, get outside and walk/run weather permitting.



    If you're new, tell us your name a little about yourself if you like.
    If you're returning, introduce yourself and briefly tell what this thread means to you!

    Hi All!

    This is only my second day posting but it's already given me a little boost that I can do this. I love the one day at a time philosophy! I need to apply to everything in my life..HAHA!

    Yesterday met all my goals:
    1) Went to town with the water
    2.) Did 30 Day Shred after work
    3) Was very careful when I went out for dinner (even though it was SO tempting).

    My mother ordered tiramisu to share for dessert. I had 3 fork fulls. I logged that as half a piece. Not good by any means but I wanted to down the whole piece and lick the plate!

    Ok, today's goals:
    1.) Continue with the water increase and only have one cup of coffee today.
    2.) My body is yelling at me from two days of toning-like exercise so I'm going to aim for a walk after work.
    3.) No binge eating while I'm home writing a paper for a graduate class tonight.
    (I HAVE to throw out the box of cheez-its. Reduced fat or not... they are deadly!!)

    This is completely off topic but I went to the grocery store last night. Why is healthy food SO expensive?! I spent 30 bucks on about 6 things! There is something seriously wrong here.

    Yesterday goals were met and I feel very good about that! Today will be a little harder to do 4 miles of walking as I will be working most of the afternoon at a greenhouse but at least with that I will be doing a lot of walking back and forth from the two greenhouses! I will get in 30 minutes of cardio this morning now before I go. So again I will stick with my goals for today are
    1. drink plenty of water
    2 do 30 mintues plus of cardio
    4. stay with in my calorie limits

    My name is Cher... I'm not new to MFP but I fell off the wagon last year sometime, even though I had lost like 30lbs, and unfortunetly, I've gained it all back :(
    Just since January, my husband and my life has been insane. He was in the hospital for 1.5 months, had 3 surgeries, and is still scheduled for 1 more. But since being in the hospital, he's lost almost 60-70lbs. INSANE! And although that isn't the ideal way to lose weight, it's a good thing, and it's motivated me to do the same.
    So as far as my goals these previous 6 days of this month...
    It's been NO REGULAR SODA! ... Done-zo! :)
    Cut back on coffee stand coffee... 0 this week so far! :)
    Drink more water... eh, more than normal, but not a ton!

    For today, 3/7/12

    1) Drink lots of water- 24oz before my first cup of coffee
    2) stay under calorie goal
    3) refrain from sweets/temptations at work
