checking in for yesterday: calories: just under exercise: good - an hour of step water: not so good proud: was having a bad day for cravings but did 'ok' HeatherMN: I have been a master at self-sabotage, so I don't think I am the best at giving advice, but I'll try. How about a new goal, something short term and attainable…

p.s. My daughter thinks her ACT test went well ... I'm hoping. Ladeb - I am seeing some scholarship requirements of 3.65 or above at some schools, so am happy about that.

LaDeb: I completely understand your 'weighing after a certain TMI event'. I am glad we weigh on Fridays because I work from home and can weigh after that event ... and I am always at my lowest weight of the week then. Hee Hee. :laugh: Whatever does it to keep us motivated! checking in for the weekend: calories: over on…

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no for Saturday, yes for Sunday Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? no and yes What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? had too many carbs Satuday but am back in control today What would I have done differently? didn't need 2nd and 3rd helping of cheesy potatoes on…

Thanks momma, I am definitely going to push for an in-state school (or a neighboring state with reciprocity), thus far my dear daughter has claimed she wants to be far from home and hasn't been willing to consider closer options ... I think we will have to have a serious talk about costs and realities. We will watch for…

ladeb - I totally feel like I'm behind too and dropped the ball with looking at what colleges cost and will require for scholarships, and financial aid stuff, etc. I just started looking so can't really tell you what other schools require for scholarships - but Purdue's minimum for a scholarship is an unweighted 3.8 GPA…

I know - those protein powders aren't cheap - but they do last awhile. I've given up on trying to be economical at the grocery store, because so many of the organic or healthier foods are more expensive, but I am probably saving money by not eating out as much - and hopefully in the long run by being healthier! My…

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? good Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? an hour and a half at the Y What would I have done differently? too many carbs for supper (and it didn't taste good) What is today's personal goals? stay under calories, an hour walk with…

Andreasoulcaslte........-0.0........-0.00% lstpaul...........................-1.8........-0.76% I'm very happy with the scale this morning, woo hoo! I'm now officially less than my lowest on MFP from before, that feels good.

good for you andreasoulcastle!

I'm here, bored at work and getting stressed about college for my daughter next year (she is finishing up a quarter - with not her best grades - and has her ACT test this Saturday). If I am this stressed this year, I can't imagine next year when we are waiting to hear about scholarships, financial aid and such! She was…

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? good Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? worked my butt off on the treadmill because my step class was cancelled and I was afraid I wouldn't wear off as many calories on the treadmill ... according to my HR monitor I wore off…

I noticed this morning when I had to do the treadmill that I can speed it up and run for longer periods than I was able to the last time I walked on a treadmill. I ran for 5 minutes at a time and did that 5-6 times in the 75 minutes that I walked, before 2-3 minutes of running was my max before I was wheezing. I'm also…

Good luck Elmox with the job! You are right momma, we have been a lot less chatty recently on this board and I miss it. checking in for yesterday: calories: just a little over exercise: 15 minutes of squats and yoga during my boring phone meeting :wink: water: not enough proud: my hubby has lost 20 pounds from following my…

checking in for yesterday: calories: right up to the top ... but didn't go over exercise: good - an hour of step water: not so good proud: I had steelhead trout for lunch! I am always afraid of fish for leftovers but I did it anyway and it was delicious! today is a no-exercise day for me ... but I had a looong boring…

Congrats on the job Tstout!

checking in for the weekend: calories: pretty good ... a little carb heavy exercise: great water: not so great proud: that I didn't completely derail on my eating yesterday when I felt like it, and I also went to the Y when I really didn't feel like it

Julie - I am so, so sorry to hear about your brother, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? pretty much - a little carb heavy Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? made a healthy dinner of steelhead trout, brown rice, asparagus and worked out at the Y for an hour even though I didn't want to What would I have done…

Tstout - that is a GREAT sign if they are calling references! Lildeb - I didn't see anything on here about you closing but it sounds like it went through? Good news! I didn't lose much since my last weigh-in, but since I had gained last weekend I'm happy to have gotten back to where I was and just a smidgeon lower.

GOOD FOR YOU BOTH! :flowerforyou:

CONGRATS PURPLEPROSE on your job!!!!! and to TSTOUT on the interview and beautiful apartment! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: checking in for yesterday: calories: good exercise: good - an hour at the Y water: not so good proud: that I'm still motivated after finishing my class

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? over on cals by 200something Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? - no What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? ate light after 4:00pm to stay as close as I did What would I have done differently? didn't need as many peanuts for snack What is today's personal goals? stay…

Momma24 - it sounds like overall it must be a bit of a relief to have a plan again for Ryan, even if you have mixed feelings about it. Hopefully it will be a good move for him and for you. It is so hard to concentrate on yourself when you are worried about your kids(but getting healthier is ultimately also helping your…

Good luck on your interview Tstout! Lilspy - that is so funny! :laugh: checking in for yesterday: calories: over by 200something exercise: none (day off) water: bad proud: I turned down dessert at lunch with a friend, and I actually did fairly well, my mistake was peanuts for a snack. It was my last nutrition class…

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? ok on calories but over on carbs again Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? - kind of What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? 1 hour at the Y What would I have done differently? had my afternoon snack - then maybe I wouldn't have been out of control and made french fries…

Totally with you Awestfall! I've stalled again and don't want to backslide. The scale said that I'm up 2 pounds in the last week and a half, I really need to get back to eating healthy foods. Tstout - I do the same thing, have some success and then slack off. It's so hard to keep the motivation going, but that is what we…

My daughter who has been in Germany is on her way home ... arrives at 8:40 tonight. I am looking forward to it, and also not excited about how crabby she will likely be for the rest of the week when she has to jump back into school and work. We have had roofers and siders at our house every day since last Thursday (new…

Hang in there Lildebbie! I can completely relate to your stress - I hate having to deal with financial stuff like that, when most of it is out of your hands too! I hope it will all come together and turn out fine, good luck!

I'm here. I'm a little disappointed with myself for having a bad weekend - we went out to eat 3 times and I went overboard on the carbs. I really wanted to reach 15 pounds lost by my 12th and last nutritional weight and wellness class tomorrow night, and I definitely could have done it since I reached 14 pounds lost on…
