I can't think of a nsv right now, but my goal is to have one for May. CW 224.2 GW: (for April) 219.0 4/8 4/15 4/22 4/30

Well, day one (Jan 1) was a sucess!! Always a good start. Ilike the daily thing, it gives me a chance to focus in the morning and remind myself what to focus on, then I usually feel like I can do anything for just 1 day. Okay Jan 2, might look a lot like Jan 1. 1) Accurate food journal of healthy choices all day 2) 3 mile…

Happy New Year!! I'm starting over again after a long and unsuccessful hiatus. Starting with a clean slate today. Goals for today. 1) Accurate food journal of healthy choices all day. 2) Drink more water (and less diet soda) 3)Get the dogs out for a nice walk

I think I'll give it a go. Accountability can be very helpful for me.

I'm in for this one. It's a new year, and I'm starting all over again. I need to avoid all processed sugars, only fruit for now!!! Actually should avoid white flour and white rice too.

wow I managed to check out for the last week and half or two. UGG. This week will only be marginally better. I will eat better this week, but I'm so busy, and I have two big shows this weekend (One at 10pm in Berkley, and the other in PHoenix at 2pm sunday). I have a lot of preparation to do, so this won't be a week of…

I'm slow getting into challenge this week. Last week wasn't great, but I did lose a little so that is good. I'm up to 17 miles, all of them in a canoe. My healthier habit was supposed to be going to sleep earlier, but I failed miserably at it. I'm a good water drinkier, so that wasn't hard. I'm going to have to work to…

I buy the spring greens or spinach in a plastic box, it seems to last longer for me, and spinach definitey lasts longer than lettuce. I also use broccoloi slaw in a bag, and that usually lasts pretty well for me too. When I can get a bag of small peppers (red, yellow, and orange), I use that too. I can cut one pepper, but…

Yes I know that feeling, I have a week to be proud of, then blow it on the weekend. Holiday weekends are tough. I even did well yesterday most of the day, but had a cookie and chocolate binge at the end of the day. Mad at myself this morning. The trick for me is not letting a bad weekend extend into a bad week. Today is…

Hi, I'm in for this one. As luck would have it I just weighed and did body fat and BMI this morning. I love the list of challenges, lots to work on and stay focused (I have a bad habit of starting all focused and commited, and flaking off in a week or two) I have really bad knees, so can I use miles paddling an outrigger…

I've never tried the peanut butter, but I love the unsweetened almond milk. I was vegan for awhile, and didn't tring milk (still don't), but I didn't like the soy milk. rice milk was okay, but almond milk is better!!! I've never tried the sweetened kind, so I can't compare them for you.

I'm not exactly sure what the challenge is, but I'm guessing it is something like loseing 40 lbs in 5 months (I don't have snowflakes where I live, but I got the main jist). I'm in, and weighed this morning at 217. that makes 177 the goal for the end of the challenge. Okay, I'm on it!!

I'm in, It's only 3 days into the month, so that isn't too bad. Weight this morning...217 (ugh) I expect some of that is water from too much sodium over the weekend. We will know in a few days. One of my things I have to do this year is log my food AND participate in at least one discussion a day and one challenge a month.…

Okay, I'm a total loser on this one, I haven't done it at all. the truth is I won't start this week either since I have a skating competition this weekend and I don't really want to do anything that is going to make me sore leading into that. I did however want to say that I'm proud of all of you who are doing it, and send…

I am by no means an expert on this, but I do know that 2 year olds have tantrums, and I do know that they eventually outgrow them when they either 1. figure out it doesn't effect the outcome, and/or 2. they develope better communication skills. I'm not sure what you can do about it except reassure her that you love her and…

I just found the group. It's still Monday, but I have to head out for a bit. I'll do my first test when I get home. I doubt I'll get anywhere near 100 of anything, but I'm all for improving, and doing some toning

I've been off track, off MFP, off everything I know I should be doing. Weighed myself today, and about had a heart attack. Starting over from somewhere behind the start line. But I've got my tush back on MFP, logged all my food and exercise today, and done well with both food and exercise (for almost 1 whole day). Nothing…

Wow, HS class reunion last weekend. I wasn't perfect, but I didn't totally trash myself either. My primary areobic exercise has been paddling outrigger canoes on a local man made lake. The inflatable dam burst last week (about 2 hours after we got off of it), so I have to find another source of exercise for 3 months until…

Happy Birthday

New food or recipie sounds awesome to me. I'll post one when I try it and know it is good.!! I need to seriously get my act together on those push ups

I'm so glad someone can keep track of all that and reiterate it back for me. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I thought I would start this last week, heading into a busy holidy weekend. Needless to say, I failed miserably (didn't do even one pushup) It's a new week, so time to get going. I did the 25 pushups today, 8…

I just stumbled onto this thread. Do the push-ups have to be on your toes, or can some (or most) of them be on your knees? Do they have to all be done at the same time? Do we check in every day (assuming life allows for it).? I'm glad we don't have to neccesairly exercise outside, it's 110 out there.

Been off track for a week or so, but I'm back on again, to do a better job of staying on it. Off to a good start anyway. (Its only 11am, it would be sad if I blew it already). I'm trying to remind myslef several times a day of the things that are more important to me than eating something that tastes good, but isn't what I…

weekend was a rotten eating weekend. Had good exercise, but not enough to make up for bad choices. Today is a new day, time to get it together again.

Thu 06/10/10 10:35 AMDoes Hubby's Chicken and dumplings count as cheating if I stayed under my calories? It felt like cheating but I don't think I need to count it as such. So I'm gonna say I sdid not cheat yesterday, nor will I today! I say if stayed under your calories for the day, and it was real food (not say a…
