  • So I've decided that since I cannot seem to find my long term motivation, short term will have to do for now. So I'm going to set a goal or two everyday and that's all I have to do. I think I'm putting waaayyy too many restrictions on my weight loss and that's why my motivation is failing. So from today on, I'll just think about today for now.

    Anyone else want to set daily goals with me? We can check in with each other for support on meeting those daily goals

    Today's goal:
    Drink 80 oz of water
    Workout for 45 mins

    I'm going to start small and work my way back up (or down scale wise )
  • That sounds like a great plan! I'm an instant gratification kinda girl too, so those little accomplishments daily feel really good when having to think of the over all picture all the time.

    I guess since I've done one today (walked 45 min) I'll make mine to go the rest of the day without giving in to my need to snack.
  • I did it I did it I did it
    I worked out today And I got my water intake- My first goal accomplished in months!
    I can't wait for tomorrow now
  • My goal today - stay within points and work out for an hour.

    We have a stupid office potluck lunch today, so my plan is to just have a forkful of everything and I think I should be okay. People around here are friggin sensitive if you don't eat their food.
  • Hey Stella! Good luck at the potluck today!

    I've already met one goal - I'm up and out of bed for a morning workout- I'm very sleepy, but very proud of myself

    Today's goal: Work out for 45 mins, Stretch for at least five minutes after workout and drink 80oz of water

    Ugh! My office is the same way...they are obsessed with bringing food in and make a scene if someone doesnt eat everything. We have some kind of junk food sitting on the kitchen table here at least 3x a week, are ordering pizza for lunch as a 'staff bonding' activity, or have breakfast of bagels and muffins at staff meetings...sounds like you have a good plan though!
  • Thank you so much for reminding me to drink more water! I forget so much and I don't realize it until the end of the day! Keep at it!

    I mean I had fair warning for this - and I made my low-fat, black bean brownies, so it won't be too bad, but some people are just so friggin touchy. Most people around here are okay, but you just have one or two who make up for the rest.
  • oooh black bean brownies? is the recipe top-secret or will you share?!
  • I totally like the sound of this! I've already worked out today but I'll set tomorrow's goals for another 30 minutes of cardio and 10 minutes of yoga
  • goals for today spin class and 64oz of water
    try not to eat anymore TOM junkfood ugh my cravings are killing me
  • Today's goal: Work out for 45 mins, Stretch for at least five minutes after workout and drink 80oz of water
    ACCOMPLISHED!

    I'm finally staying on track I'm excited for tomorrow- still taking it one day at a time
