    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

    Yesterday I didn't exercise. Was exhausted after work and took a nap instead. I'm a bad girl! BUT was under my calorie goal. I'm just going to tell myself that it evens out and one day off is ok. Seriously, getting into an exercise routine is though.... my body is like, what are you doing to me?! But, I have muscles that are sore that I didn't even know were there, so that's a good thing.

    Today's goals:

    1.) Stay within calories.... meeting an old friend for drinks tonight so that will be tough. Must be good!!
    2.) No time for a real workout today. Plan to move around the office as much as possible, walk up and down the stairs a few times extra, and maybe a short yoga DVD before bed.
    3.) More water...less coffee. (I'm a 3 cup a day coffee fiend. Bad, I know! Especially for the cellulite. Down to 1- 1/12 cups a day)

    Have a great day everyone!!

    1. Stay within my calorie limit!

    I struggle with eating more than I should. I need to remind myself that all the tasty treats I want to eat can be eaten another day. Maybe that would help me feel more desperate to eat desserts and extra snacks. Tomorrow I will stay within my limit no matter what!

    Yesterday's goals:
    1.) Stay within calories.... Almost did this. Went over by 80 cals. MFP put my settings at 1200. It's REALLY hard. :(

    2.) No time for a real workout today. Plan to move around the office as much as possible, walk up and down the stairs a few times extra, and maybe a short yoga DVD before bed.--- Did this as much as possible but don't feel great about it.

    3.) More water...less coffee. -- Was very good with this yesterday. Only one cup in the morning and TONS of water.


    Today's goals:

    1.) Try not to beat myself up after weighing myself this morning. I'm really trying here an it's only the first week. But it's still disappointing that the scale hasn't moved a bit!
    2.) No food splurging-- I'm SO hungry today. I ate breakfast and my stomach is still growling. What's with that?! Plus, I have plans to go out for lunch... I SO sick of salads and this place has amazing paninis.
    3.) Work out after work/ tonight--- No excuses!

    Goals for March 7:
    1. Plenty of fluids! --Yes.
    2. Stay on my plan.--Yes.
    3. 1 mile walking workout.--Yes.

    I didn't check in yesterday. I went out with my daughter and then went to a movie I had a pass for. I had fun (it was my birthday).
    My food choices weren't the best but they weren't super bad, either, and I didn't eat a lot. We didn't have cake but had a Blizzard at Dairy Queen. That was lunch--LOL. It was SO good!

    Goals for yesterday, 3/8/12...
    1) Don't stress eat - ACCOMPLISHED! OMG! I did amazing on this! I guess I knew yesterday that I felt stressed, and that's normally when I eat badly... But I did so good. I did although drive around every fast food place, but I NEVER got anything.. Stressful day! Sheesh...
    2) Drink at least 144oz of water, can't have cup of coffee until 24oz of water down! UNACCOMPLISHED... Shucks, I only drank 10 cups... But so much better than I normally do... So I'll do better in the coming days! :)
    3) Don't go over on calories! ACCOMPLISHED! yay!!

    Goals for today, 3/9/12

    1) Drink all my water (144oz-18cu), still no coffee until I drink 48oz today... Maybe that'll keep me more motivated...
    2) No junk food
    3) No giving into temptation because its almost the weekend- And although in-laws are in town, and we might go out to eat, I will look up menus online before hand and have an idea planned out for what I want so it can be a good choice.
