i got in my workouts 2 out of the 3 days... although on the 3rd day I was cleaning like a madwoman so maybe that counts for something.
Today's goal is to go for a lunchtime walk. NO lazy excuses.

 Hi everyone! I have got to develop a better habit about checking back in here after the day is done to report what I did. I have to admit when I sign up for my goals on here, it's on my mind, too.
I have 9 pounds to lose to reach my labor day goal. Sounds impossible I know, but in reality and truth, I haven't really stuck to my diet 100 % for years. Wonder what would happen if I did?
So today's goals (and probably the rest of the week, too)
34 points or less
journal food on my blog
exercise 
32 oz water today (may up it every day)
2 fruits banana
2 veges
No eating after 10:30 p.m.
Bed by 12:30 p.m.

Hi Peggy -- my Labor Day Challenge goal is 239, I'm a slow loser but I think I might make it. I hate to fall down on these challenges because I always think I'm not losing, but then I look back and see I've done pretty well.
Unique -- you are an exercise (and housecleaning!) diva.
Ash -- it is indeed a new day! And so is tomorrow!
Hotsplashes -- hope you did well on your Challenge Day!
Monday's goals --
Weight training at gym ... check!
Cardio afterward if feeling strong ... jogged for 12 minutes, better than nothing!
4 small meals with protein at each one ... check!
Dinner finished by 5:30 p.m. ... hmmmm, no, maybe 6:30
Water exercise class ... lightning, pool was closed
Nothing after dinner except vegetables ... had some nuts
Read my list of positive goals 2x ... check!
Tuesday's goals
Cardio 1st thing in the morning
4 small meals with protein component
Finish dinner by 6:30
No nuts after dinner !!!!
Water exercise class

My lunch hour got too busy, I know I should actually take a break. So I didn't get in my walk at lunch but did do it after work. I also did my Wii Active 30 Day Challenge workout.
Today's goal is to NOT get popcorn or sugary candy at the movie tonight. My friend & I are going to The Time Traveler's Wife.

Hi everyone  I'm going to join in here...at least for today that is really the level I need to take this right now just to get back into it.
For Wednesday I will be accomplishing something every second of the day. No more lazing around, I have to be actually doing something and just sitting like a log somewhere doesn't count!
Other Goals
1. 1200 calories BLEW IT TOTALLY for today
2. 6+ bottles water 1 down
3. 2 exercise sessions 30+ min. each

I did not get anything at the movie theater. However at dinner I ordered a slice of chocolate cake for dessert. UGH I got 1/3 the way through it and just couldn't stomach anymore. As the movie progressed I kept feel worse & worse. By the end my stomach was in knots and I had a raging headache. I think it was the combo of the carbs & sugar that really threw my body for a loop. I'll not be making that mistake again.
Today's goal is to find something for breakfast that is on plan. I haven't had breakfast yet but did bring my lunch. If I eat my lunch for breakfast then I need to find a lunch on plan.... wish me luck!

Ash, CJ, and Liz you all are doing great. Welcome Skinny Jeans!
I was extremely busy yesterday so I didn't get to come in. I was aggravated about it too, lol. I have been doing terrible. Monday night I was eating my dinner, when I realized I hadn't even paid any attention to my goals and that JUST writing them down wasn't going to get the job done. So here I am again with my goals, hopefully I wll do better today.
24 oz water
Exercise
40 points or less
2 fruits and 1 vege
40 points is higher that what WW says to do, I had 35 at first then I edited it. I was losing weight a couple of weeks ago, and I was eating 40 points. So I figured if it was working, why change anything. I think 35 points seems too constrictive to me and I rebel, that's the only explanation I have, and if I don't feel restricted and set my limit to 40,maybe there's days I really only eat 35.
I have got to do this. Time to quit putting it off, do I want to lose weight or not?????!!!!

I am exactly where you are right now! I have gained back almost ALL of the 40 pounds I had off not long ago, and it is so hard getting back into it. But, today I asked myself pretty much the same question. I was asking seriously whether I really wanted to do this, was it really taht important to me, or should i just stop and let myself eat and be happy.
But it hit me I am not happy this way. It is difficult to breathe again. i can't move around like I want to. I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself anymore. I am just not "me" in this body, so I have no choice but to do this!
The last time I was happy was when I had 40 pounds off and was keeping it off and could move around, felt great. SO that is my answer!
 We can do this. I know we can.

Hi Lovely Chicadees 
Liz -- I wish my body would react like that to chocolate cake!
Peggy -- If you can dream it, you can do it.
SkinnyJeans -- great screen name!
I did pretty good today, I like setting these daily mini-goals.
Wednesday's goals
Weight lifting session with trainer ... check
Water exercise class ... check
4 small meals with protein component ... check
Finish dinner by 6:30 ... well, no. This was a strange eating day for me. I had to eat a carb breakfast by 7 a.m. because I had weight training at 9 and I have to get some carbs in me or I'm too weak. So I had a salad for breakfast. Then, after weight training, I have a protein drink and banana to rebuild muscle (trainer suggestion). Then I have lunch. So I've eaten 3 meals by noon! I have the 4th meal about 4 p.m., then go to Water Exercise class and get back about 7:30 p.m. I'm not starving (having already eating 4 mini-meals) but I think I'm going to eat something.
And instead of thinking about my following goal (only veggies), I eat the dreaded nuts! Nuts are a great food and perfect for my eating plan but they are also very high in calories so I can't have very many of them (well, I CAN, but not on plan, LOL). And I love them. Arghghghhg. So, for every nut I ate (and I forced myself to eat them one-at-a-time) I had to drink a sip of water. So I don't think I ate tooooo many, and I did drink a lot of water! If I eat them again, I will weigh them, though.
Only vegetables for snack after dinner ... no ... see above explanation
Read list of positive goals 2x ... check
Thursday's Goals
Cardio 1st thing in morning
Eat 5 mini-meals
Water exercise
And ... a non-health related goal (except maybe mental health!): Spend time on the darn paperwork!

Ya'll are doing great!! Great focus & drive! WHOO HOO!!
I did meet my goal from yesterday, had to order delivery from a deli to get it, but soooo worth staying on plan
Today's goal is to get in a little extra workout tonight. I have a mini-goal to be down 5 pounds by the time my hubby gets back from his rock climbing trip Labor Day.

I didn't meet my goals from yesterday but did have a breakthrough realization last night. I have been expecting big goals, basically trying to get back to what I was doing when i was acively losing and had 40 pounds off about a year ago. But, I have gained that weight back and am starting all over. I did not start out with all those ambitious requirements and I cannot expect myself to jump right back to that point where I left off!
I realize my daily goals need to be more beginner goals because that is the level I am starting at right now. No more thinking about picking up where I left off, time to build back up to that point.
So, todays goals...
4 Bottles Water-- 2 down
2 Hours Cardio-- 45 minutes down
Track Calories in Fitday-- So far, done!
