    Boy, am I slipping!!

    Goals for 13 March
    1-drink 10 glasses of water--DONE
    2-Ripped in 30 + 30 minute run--a last minute meeting dashed my 60-minute workout goal, but I didn't throw in the towel and at least squeezed in a 20 minute run
    3-avoid chocolate and stay within cals--I stayed within cals, but had a piece of chocolate at night. I haven't really been good about following my mantra: If I bite it, I must write it. Therefore...

    Goals for 14 March

    2-Ripped in 30 + 30 minutes on bike

    Well.... I sabotaged myself yesterday when my colleagues insisted that I order dessert last night.

    Today:

    1.) Double or even triple my water to flush out all the nastiness.
    2.) Seriously limit the carbs!
    3.) Up the fruits and veggies today.... I'm in recovery mode here.

    Can't focus on the negative, I did ok-ish today with my goals. Onward to thursday! I'm really trying to focus on goals that I want to make habits. Just like I can't skip taking my thyroid med or walking the dogs, there are some things I really shouldn't be skipping either and those are in my top priority.

    Daily diet (cereal, prune juice, water, oj)
    Moisturize

    Sign up for birthing course
    Survive dinner and movie with pops in law and new gf (and attempt to have a positive attitude going into it)

    That last one will be difficult but I shall be grown up and mature about it and give it my all. WIsh me luck.

    Hi All!

    Well yesterday I met my goals but didn't exercise. I've come home at night and ended up a couch potato. I was under my calorie goal but that's really not the way to go here.

    Ok... new day:

    1.) EXERCISE!!!!!
    2.) Only one cup of coffee and NO diet coke
    3.) Hit my calorie goal. (It's SO hard.... MFP set me at 1200. I'm always over.!)

    TODAY:

    Frustrated with today's weigh in, I know my lower amount of exercise is not helping, but I'm also thinking it might be due to the meds I started last week are also contributing to my lack of weight loss. Oh well tomorrow's a new day,
