Yesterday's Goals:

1. Drink waterNo, only at the gym.

2. Really push myself while weight training today, work up a real sweat.Yes

3. count calories, eat only 1-2 slices of pizza at anthro.club meeting. Yes, I only ate one slice of cheese pizza.

4. study for test tomorrow No, but I hope it goes well... I should know everything anyways... hopefully...

Yesterday, I started out counting my calories on this website, then I got busy, however I did count my calories overall and I stayed under 1400. I stepped on the scale this morning and it says I'm up 1 lb. I don't feel too good about that, it makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong... I mean, I haven't entered my cal in this website but I still counted them and didn't go over 1400. Maybe its because I lifted weights yesterday? it makes me feel the pressure to go do cardio today, I just don't know when I'll have time, maybe this evening. Today I will do much better!

Goals for today:

1. Go to the gym for cardio, at least 30 min, see if I can get up to 45 min.

2. Drink lots of water (not counting one smoothie for breakfast)

3. Be positive and smile, even things get really tough.

4. Read for Social Statistics.

I wish myself Luck! 

1. Drink water when I go to my dads house (I am so tempted to drink like 4 cans of soda when I'm there) Yes, only drank water :)

2. Limit what I eat at my dads, make sure I can count the calories. I can't count the calories, not sure what most of it was.

3. Not angry/frusterated over small things (easy for me to do since I'm so busy and constantly packing my childern up to go see or do something.Didn't get angry or frusterated today.

4. Do everything for myself, don't let anyone get me something, since I'm not working out today I should take every chance to take an extra step when I can. Yes, mostly, fiance got me something once.

5. Count my calories (yesterday got away from me, I was afraid to step on the scale today, but it was ok, its a good thing I worked out yesterday.)Didn't, we ate at two other peoples houses today.

My goals for tomorrow are:

1. Drink water

2. Meet with nutrionist

3. Study for tests that I have this week

4. Count calories

Yesterdays Goals:

1. Drink a whole bottle of water! (Again, my sigg size bottle)No, but I'm going to today!

2. Write Archaeology paper (this am before 10:10 am)Wrote about 2 pages, but I found out it wasn't due until Monday, so I stopped and ate lunch.

3. Drink 12 oz. or less of soda.Sort of, I only drank 12 oz. of pepsi, but then at dinner time I had some raspberry iced tea (21 oz.) which is almost the same as soda.

4. Don't eat junk food, like Oreos or cake.No, I at one Oreo, 1.5 tiny squares of a symphony bar, and one 60 calorie airhead.

5. Play the wii or ddr this evening (for some fun, relaxed, entertainment and exercise)No, I got back too late and was tired.

6. If I eat out, eat at Subway and pay attention to calorie intake.Yes, I only ate about 280 calories, I got my sub without mayo.

To analyze yesterday, I only met one of my goals, the Subway goal. Even though I ate some sweets and soda, my calorie intake was around 1360 (give or take 10), which I consider to be pretty good. However, that doesn't mean I'm not going to continue to not try harder to meet my goals.

Goals for today:

1. Drink water. (I'm not putting a specific amount, because I won't have my Sigg bottle with me all day, I'll be out running around a bit)

2. Meet with my personal trainer to do weight training, push myself (kind of easy, he pushes me! :) )

3. Don't drink soda until I go to the dinner at 4pm.(Special dinner with friends at a church, a couples only thing)

4. Don't eat sweets until the dinner, when at the dinner, limit to what I know I can find the caloric intake of.

So, today I'm meeting with my personal trainer, going to an Indain trade show, and having a romantic dinner night with my fiance. Since I'm going to be pretty busy, I expect to be able to accomplish most of my goals. I need to gear up, because on Tuesday I'm going to be having Pizza and Soda for dinner.

Hey,

So, It's been a while since I've been on here. However, I need to seriously change my patterns of living, so here I am.

I am enrolled in a weight loss class through my college, and its cool, because they assign you a personal trainer, I met with him on Tuesday and I did some weight training. Today I'll be meeting with him for a cardio session. My personal trainer is great, because I can't miss appointments with him, which should keep me exercising.

My goals for today are:

1. Not to Wuss out during my 30 minute cardio session on the eliptical.

2. Drink at least one bottle of water (My sigg bottle, no idea how many ounces it is, but I don't drink that much a day at the moment so its a big step).

3. Only drink 12 ounces or less of soda.

4. Write Archaeology Paper

5. Write Reading Response for Envir. Anthropology

6. Don't eat junk food (Lucky Charms for breakfast not included in the junk food category, yet)

 Leo-- I agree about getting out of bed being the hardest part! Water will repair your muscle, I try to hold a bottle of water whenever I watch t.v. it makes me drink more and I eat nothing, I just sip my water... Thats one major way that I have upped my intake of water, as well as doing crazy hard exercises that make my throat burn so I need water

       Went on the scale today... Depressing... A little while ago I was at 162... now I'm 164.8... Maybe its muscle? I have been doing more weight training? Or maybe its the soda and Easter food....     Oh, dear me... Must think positive... I ate only 1428 calories today and exercised for a half hour (I plan on doing a little more weight lifting after I finish my recap) leaving me with a deficit of 500 without counting whatever I do tonight.

Exercise:

• Do Biggest Loser front side video Yes, missed last 10 min. cause baby woke up.
• Do pilates video to work core and keep it working so I can build strength Forgot, might do after I'm done instead of lifting weights.
• Do not ask anyone to get anything for me, should make me walk a little more. Failed, I ask Austin to get his little brother off of the dining room table when I was making lunch.

Other:

• Read chapter for Chem. Going to in about an hour.
• Try reading chapters for business...I like the book, I just don't have much time. will do in the morning.
• Get car fixed!!! (I think we are going to have to get it towed!!) towed it with a friend to the shop, its scary towing how we did it, I was in my car pulled behind his van with a rope... But it went well, it wasn't more than a mile.

Have a good night and I hope everyone wakes up energized and ready to have a great day tomorrow!

Ohio-- You have a lot of vacations... I can't wait to be able to do that!!!

restless-- peanut butter is yummy!

Goals for today:

• Vaccuum again
• clean up by computer
• clean counters in kitchen
• Celebrate sons birthday with cheesecake and Fazolis (<his request) at home. (We are having a party next weekend for family and he might have a friend over during the week theweek and go to chukee chesses  or something)
• Do exercise video today
• Stay below 1700 calories (cheesecake is involved...)

Should I avoid cheesecake and all things that aren't real healthy completely until I'm done losing?

Re-cap:

Exercise:

• Go to Pilates class (can earn points for YMCA and get a workout! I want that YMCA prize! It's probably something stupid, but its fun to do this competition) I went to the class!!! It was tough, but fun.
• If I don't work my front side at pilates (we only worked our backside on Monday at the class) then I will do my frontside biggest loser workout video. We didn't work our frontside, cause its a pilates class, we worked our core, which as it happens means I'm weak so I don't like doing other things... Hopefully I will do the front side tomorrow.

House:

• Finish laundry (only about 8-10 loads left, I have so many loads because of my 2 children, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and my fiance who wears at least 2 outfits a day) Nope, I'm so tired... I went shopping and it took forever, and I haven't been getting much sleep lately.
• Do all dishes Did one load, have about 2 left.
• Start the fine tune cleaning processes of washing cabinets, scrubbing floors, etc. Nope...:(

Home School: Decided I have a lot going on, so I've put my son on spring break for the rest of this week and maybe a little of next week.

•  Get the H*** going!!! We've been focusing a lot on cleaning and getting things ready for when people get here for Easter.
• Figure out what I can get him to do by himself.

Leo- Oh, Sorry that your break is over... But at least its like you have two since you get a 3 day weekend for Easter!  I'm glad picking up those chips count! Your friend does sound a little odd as far as her religion goes, I hope she doesn't try to push you into it, I think that is a horrible way to enter any religion. I hope she is cool though and then you won't have to deal with your crappy roomy...

Ohio-- I think I'm a little lost... Are the boxes that you are dealing with just from storage and you want to clear it out? Or are you moving?

Thank you everyone for being so nice and thoughtful about my headache! It's finally gone! Woo-Hoo! It was freaking terrible, I never used to get such bad headaches...

I didn't have goals for today, but I stayed below 1500 calories.

I've been thinking about weighing myself once a week and see how that goes, cause lately the scale has been all over the place... I'm trying so hard, and it doesn't seem to matter how much I workout (as far as the scale goes, but I feel healthier??) I can't seem to lose at all. Maybe its my lack of water so my muscle can't restore itself after I work out? Any Ideas?

       Pace!

re-cap Mondays goals:

• Go for a bike ride if it is still nice, it should be  nope, tires were flat
• Don't drink soda didn't drink a drop!
• Drink a lot of water drank a lot of water
• do some sit ups, haven't done sit ups in a long time did sit ups at pilates class on ball. I went to an hour long pilates class, it was nice, except I worked the same muscles that I had the day before and I'm not so sure that was a good thing.
• try not to get stressed by stupid things got stressed by all sorts of dumb stuff...

Goals for today!

1. Don't drink soda
2. Do at least 6 loads of laundry
3. Pick up the house some more, so I can start painting on Thursday
4. Take something for my headache!!!!*owww!*

Ohio! -- Congratulations on the weight loss!!!! I'm at 162 and I can't seem to get rid of it...

On the note of not losing weight... I lost 1 pound in a week (I consecutively weighed 1 lb. less) then I got it back... I don't seem to be doing something right... maybe it is the soda, but I try to drink a bottle of water with every soda, I should just cut it, but its so hard...  I'm also having a hard time staying motivated I start eating bad at about 9:30 at night, I wish I could just go to bed, but I have to pick my fiance up from work... I can't wait until he can ride his bike to work.

Another note about my weight. I hate clothes, I feel so disproportionate. My legs are a nice size a little big, but they don't match my big waist. When I buy pants it is so hard! I am also only 5 ft. tall. So I have to buy pants that are big in the waist, small in the thighs, and short...Impossible!!! I decided a while ago that I wouldn't buy any more pants or clothes until my stomach is smaller...but now I'm wearing the same few things over and over and over... I just want to lose some weight and fit properly into clothes!!!!

      The only goal I had for today was to go water class at YMCA, but I didn't because I woke up a half hour late and remembered I had to take my son to a homeschool meeting that was during the class.

Optimism: I'm confused as to the usefulness of being optimistic over realistic... but it seems that I have accomplished the most when I'm optimistic and don't believe that reality is the best it could be and that I can change it. However realistic seems realistic, I don't get let down much, I expect good and bad things to happen. But I'm happier being optimistic and I stay calm and have a so-what attitude if things go bad. Debate keeps going in my head.

• Don't drink soda

 Hola!

My lit class is starting to get to me... How could one class be so stupid!?! The material isn't stupid, studying literature isn't stupid, its the way the class is set up and how the teacher doesn't actually teach that is stupid. I have to learn to let go and just do the work...
