Well yesterday I completely BLEW IT!! The only goal I met was increase protein. But I ended up literally eating like 3/4 of a box of triscuits while writing a paper last night.

Ok...today is a NEW day.

1.) Log everything and watch calories.
2.) Water...water...water!!!
3.) Gym tonight. No EXCUSES!!!

Goals for 3/21

1. Drink 64 oz of water
2. Eat more green veggies
3. JAC challenge and zumba.

Well... it's Friday!

Yesterday I can in under calories (which MFP gives me that red little warning for) but no exercise. After night class I totally crashed.

TODAY:

1.) Watch calories and log everything-- It might even be ok if I'm a LITTLE over today since I was under yesterday. 1200 calories really isn't much!
2.) Afternoon work out with cardio AND strength (I think Jillian is calling me today)
3.) FOCUS at work so I can leave a little early.

WEEKEND GOALS:
1.) Clean, and weekly laundry
2.) Take down curtains and wash shears
3.) Exercise both days to make up for lack thereof this week
4.) Finish up taxes
5.) Take some time to myself for a facial mask and to paint my nails.

Goals for 3/22
1. Drink 10 glasses of water- done
2. Log all food- done
3. Swim for 1 hour- no I forgot I was babysitting my nephew all day
4. Work on 2 homework assignments- I got 3 done and another started

Goals for 3/24
1. Drink 10 glasses of water
2. Log all food
3. Taking my nephew to the zoo so I will be walking a lot
4. Try to do some homework

Ended up working most of the weekend so didn't reach my goals of cleaning and taking time to myself. BUT, I was good about logging everything and even came in under calories on Saturday. Yesterday was a different story, went over when I baked cookies for kiddos (ate like 4 on my own!) but exercised in the afternoon. I definitely have to get a heart rate monitor I was pounding it on the elliptical yesterday... did 30 seconds of extreme and 30 seconds of moderate for almost 30 minutes. Silly machine says I only burned a little over 100 cals... no way!

Today's goals:

1.) Limit sugar and carbs to make up for yesterday's cookie binge!
2.) Increase veggies and fiber
3.) Go to a kick boxing class tonight.

Wow, what a ****ty day yesterday.
I went to dinner at a friend's house last night, completely unexpected. Planned on only having one glass of wine (which threw that goal in the trash) and just kept drinking. That led to a lot of eating. And now my brain is fuzzy and I feel like I still have alcohol running through my system. That has started my day off today eating crap to just try to absorb the wine in my blood. I am so mad at myself I could scream. If anyone actually reads this, I could use some serious support right now. Thanks.

Ok, TODAY's a NEW Day....

1.) Up the ante on the water.... 60+ oz. to flush out my sugar overload.
2.) Lots of fiber and veggies today.

Well, didn't find time to exercise yesterday. Got home from my day around 9 p.m. Other than that, wasn't TOO bad.

1.) Water, 60+ oz.
2.) MUST exercise tonight. MUST!!!
3.) No matter how late I get home, have to tidy up a bit.

Had a bad day all ways around yesterday. It was so bad I got a happy meal for dinner on my way home which wasn't until after 8 p.m. I then sat on my butt all night and watched 3 hours of TV before bed.
