  • Yeah well one day down and I did great!!!

    I think I am going to start using icons for every day that I have completed...

    One for every successful day this week;
  • I'm in, getting fit for the summer is one of my main motivations.
  • I would love to join
    My goals for the week are:
    Diet: 3 meals with healthy snacks when the cravings hit
    Exercise: 30-45 min., 5 days a week
    Water:4-5 glasses
    Goal: Finish my spring gardens
    Reward: A new shirt or sandals since my puppy I got last year ate through about 7 pairs of my shoesl.
  • Mind if I join too? Here's my goal the rest of the week.

    Food: 1300 calories a day
    Exercise: 30-60 minutes elliptical daily, sunday off
    Water: 4 bottles a day
    Non diet goal: clean craft area and computer desk filing
    reward: if I can stick to this all week...sunday I get a new haircut!

    I'm really looking forward to being big losers with you all! Good luck!
  • Today I didn't exercise (Wah) I got up too late to exercise before getting ready for work. Tomorrow I'm off and plan to do an hour of exercise and probably an hour or more of housework .

    Anyway, as far as calories and diet, my >1600 calorie plan worked for last night and I only consumed 1575. Close! Today I only consumed 405 calories so far! So I'm looking forward to a salad when I get home with tuna on top, and chicken breast and gravy for dinner with brown rice, and maybe a little treat. Hey I got 1200 calories left to work with . I'll try to limit it to 1000 tonight.
  • Middle of day 2 and I'm doing great! Yesterday was good for food and I drank all my water. So far today I went to the gym on my lunch hour and plan on taking my dog for a walk after work since the weather is nice. Haven't had much water today so have to get going on that. Can't wait until the end of the week, I want that new workout outfit BAD!

  • Day two went well. I did Richard Simmons 60's Blast Off (30 mins) and drank all my water and had two healthy snacks and one that contained sugar free hersheys eggs (semi-healthy!!!). Can't wait for tomorrow. Bring it on.
  • Yay keep it up!!
    today went well too, drank all my water, did 3o mins of weights and a 30 mins walk...ate 2 snacks and 3 meals!!!

  • Hi.
    Well im all new to this website. and just reading up on some of the posts.
    thought this one would be a nice one to join.
    Am i too late?
  • This sounds great - just the motivation I need! Is it too late to join?
  • I ate so much last night. From chips to jerkey to pie, I got bored and ate. However, if this is the only night I binge I will still reward myself bc I ate three healthy meals two other healthy snacks and all my water and for trying hard. I do feel guilty but that means a longer workout today. Oh well.
  • New comers:
    Never too late to join

    just post your goals and away you go!!!! Weeeeee

    Buckneram: I too am a boredom eater, that is what I decided to start crocheting...I figure if I keep my hands busy I won't eat....so far so good...except I SUCK AT CROCHETING!!!! hahahah

    Don't stress about it...just pick up where you left off!
