March Day by Day Challenge--Open to ALL!!!

Goals for YESTERDAY, 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... (UNACCOMPLISHED- BUT, I did drink 10 cups of water (more than the previous day- and I opted out of having coffee...)

2) No junk food (ACCOMPLISHED- I did have a couple of no-bake cookies for dessert, but in moderation, and wasn't a splurge)

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. (ACCOMPLISHED- we ended up having friends over instead, and made a large home-cooked meal so I could stay on track better! )

Today's Goals (3/10/12)

1) Drink all my water! (try to get in AT LEAST 120oz {15 cups})

Hi all!

I was on this challenge I want to say eight or so months ago and totally lost all motivation to do anything let alone make goals. I still made them in my head but it meant nothing as I didn't do anything about them... In any case, now that I'm six months pregnant, I'm trying hard to form healthy habits that mean something for more than just me. I'm hoping my husband will follow suit as he's fallen a bit off the wagon. He was hiking for about 7 miles a day for a couple months and saw a major change in his endurance and strength but no scale loss and he finally gave up.

This is our first pregnancy and I've basically gone from uber-healthy to uber-lazy... When I first found out, I was having healthy breakfasts and hour walks daily along with pilates every other day. Now I am lucky to get a half hour walk in or a 20 minute pilates session and I have some severe pregnancy munchies and am lazy about taking the time to cook. What can I say, sometimes I'm just too overwhelmed about it all and that obviously makes me feel lousy. Plus, maybe a couple months or so ago I had questionable blood tests back which made my doc say I need to chill with the exercise. (A pregnancy pre-hypertension possibility). So that obviously freaked me out and I literally stopped doing anything exercise wise. Not even short light walks. I just totally psyched myself out. I went to her again and she said I should be walking daily. But I still, was too scared to do anything even light because I became very paranoid about having a heart attack. What can I say, panic attacks can really get the best of me. With my husband's push, I started walking again and took it real easy. I would come home feeling like a million bucks and told myself to remember this feeling for the next day when I'm whining and crying about not wanting to go. I have a major motivation and procrastination problem. But I'm really trying to work on that. And I love the idea of daily goals because I naturally do that in my head as I'm falling asleep.

So, I'm glad to re-find you all, and this is where I'm at now. I'll start with my goals for today, 3/12:

30 min pilates
30 min walk
2 liters water
4 veggies
3 fruits
fiber cereal
sleep early
