    Goals for March 3:
    1. Plenty of fluids! --Yes.
    2. Healthy choices and portion control. --:sad: No to both.
    3. 1 mile walking workout.--No.

    Yesterday was my 'rest' day but I forgot to change my last goal. It SHOULD have been--Work on a jewelry piece, which I did.

    Portion control was OUT yesterday! I guess choices weren't bad but they could have been a lot better, too.

    I need to cut all the processed crap again--it really messes me up!

    Goals for March 4:
    1. Plenty of fluids!
    2. Stay on my plan!!!l.
    3. 1 mile walking workout.

    3) No Cheeze-Its or Girl Scout cookies (These seem to be my weaknesses and are packed full of calories!) HAD ABOUT 4 SERVINGS!

    3/5/12 Goals:

    1) No excuses! I will not have the mindset that I can do better tomorrow! This is it!
    2) 90 oz water

    I am NOT a counselor! I cannot advise my son-in-law about their relationship problems except to say--they BOTH could use some couples counseling!

    Okay, on to a fresh day!

    I took a different approach to the Girl Scout cookie thing this year--I donated the money to them. That way I am still supporting them but I don't have the cookies in the house to tempt me.

    Have a good day, everyone!

  • Hi All! I know you're a few days into this, but I hope you don't mind me joining in. I could really use some support.

    I've been terrible the past few years (yes, I said years) sticking to MFP or any routine for that matter. Every time I get going in the right direction, I sabotage my progress. Years ago I lost a significant amount of weight. The past two years the scale seemed to creep back up and now I'm in a very unhappy place. It hit me the other week when most of my dress pants don't fit. I take great pride in the wardrobe I've built (that sounds bad but I don't mean it to) and simply can't afford to start over with buying all new stuff. Plus, I can't be defeated!!!!

    So... yesterday's goals:

    Eat a healthy breakfast even though I was on the go. DONE! (1 oz. almonds, 1 cup of soy milk, 1/2 cup of high fiber bran flakes)
    Go to a kick boxing class--- DONE! (Took one last Monday night. I'm SO sore today but I did it again!!)
    Don't give in to the sweets in the office--- DONE! (I resisted the box of thin mints on our counter. This is BIG!)

    Today's goals:

    Watch my water intake---- I'm already 20 oz. in and have only been at work for an hour.
    Exercise after work--- Just received my Tim Horton's 10 minute body DVDs. Gotta use one today!!!
    Don't over eat at dinner--- I have plans to have dinner with mum at an Italian restaurant. Have to be good! I think I'm going to have broiled scallops and tell them no butter. A salad with it and instead of a potato they have minestra.. a little oily but lots of good stuff for you in that!

    Question for everyone.... Has anyone tried those 10 minute workout DVDs? I heard they are intense even though they are only 10 minutes. The box recommends you do 2-3 workouts in a day though. A bit of false advertising maybe? Still, anything is better than nothing on those days that I don't have an hour to go to the gym.

    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!!)
