Goals for Today & Did you accomplish them?


Quote  |  Reply
Hi everyone.  I thought it would be neat to start a topic on where we can post our goals for the day in the morning and then set a time for 9 pm to enter if we accomplished our goals or not.  This way we have a time limit to get those goals accomplished and we can see what everyone is doing?  I hope some of you will join me in this interesting topic. 

Thanks so much,
Tammy


1)  Post in the morning what your goals for the day are.

2)  Post in the evening or the next day, if you reached your goals for the day.

My goals for today are:

1)   Bike riding 12 miles
2)   taking my dog for a walk on the boardwalk, am not sure how far it is. 
3)   Drink 64 oz of water today.


Do atleast 5 mins (not stop) on trampoline.
Don't drink any fizzy drinks.
Go for a 30 minute walk.
Do 50 sit-ups.
No naughty snacking!
My goals are to run on the tread mill for 45 minutes to an hour and to get back into doing strength training. I don't know what it is about strength training but I always dread it! I started doing a strength training routine in May and I got so tired of it that I quit. Now that I have a new routine and it switches up everyday, I STILL CAN'T SEEM TO GET MOTIVATED TO DO IT!!!!!!!

My other goals are: 1. No junk- AT ALL. 2. Only eat until I'm satisfied. 3. Drink now pop (it's always diet, but I know water is better for me). 4. Complete all my goals :D
Goals for todaaaaay:

Work my butt off in my training session.

Don't stuff myself on dinner afterward.

Refill my nalgene at least once! (And finish it all)
Ladies I am so excited to see the results this evening on if we accomplished our goals for today.  :)  Good Luck to everyone  :)


Remember we can do whatever we put our minds to.  :)

Hi guysssss, guess what it's evening check in time!

 

I did work my butt off in my training session (actually my trainer did it for me..wow. I hurt all over. He kicked my butt big time) butttt sadly I did kind of pig out at dinner. Lesson learned: NO MORE NIGHT TIME WORKOUTS! I eat way too much. I did refill my nalgene and finish it too, so I got lots of water woo!

 

Hope all you ladies did well!!

 

Goal for tomorrow: kick my own butt in workout, and eat few enough calories so I'm on the right track for my deficit for the week lol!

HI Ladies, I am so sorry I didn't do my evening check in time by nine.  What a crazy day I had today.  I did manage to get all my water intake in today and my dog for a walk on the boardwalk, however I only got to bike for 7 miles today, that disappointed me.  There just wasn't enough time this afternoon for me to get all of it done.  I will have to think of my goals for tomorrow.  :)  I am glad we are doing this and hope you all join in and have fun

robyneg I am glad to hear your trainer kicked your butt, I wish I had one to kick me into shape.  I do feel really confident about me getting on the right track and I am so grateful to have found this site, it is helpful bigtime for me.  :)  I can't wait to hear how tomorrow goes :)  Nite all. 

I REACHED ALL OF MY GOALS!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!

Well, except i did have a few tiny snacks, but I WAS hungry and they were blueberries and a tiny bit of meat and when I told myself NOT to eat them anymore, I did!!!! Yay!!!!

Good job all of you!
Awesome job everyone  :) 

My goals for today are:

1)  Drink 100 oz water (i have a hard time getting my water intake daily that is why it is a goal for me)

2)  Bike ride 12 miles today.

3)  Take my dog for a walk on the board walk.

4)  No soda today.

5)  Do 10 sit ups.  (I need to start out small)



Good luck everyone with your goals for today.  I know we can do it.  :)

My goals for today are:

1) Stay within my 1400 calorie limit.
2) Go swimming for 30-60 minutes.
3) Drink 8 glasses of water.

I just started my diet so. . .I'm still getting used to limiting the calories.
My goal is to stop eating almonds.. :) I usually bring 20-25 almonds with me to work as a snack for the day but I eat them all in one hour. I feel guilty after that. It makes me short in cals for the day.

I am going out for lunch to meet my boyfriends granpa for the first time. It's a buffet. My goal is:

  • To not pig out.
Sounds easy, but it's probably going to be hard for me.
My goals are: 1. No soda 2. Get in enough calcium 3. No snacking because I'm bored 4. Have my workout finished by 2 pm. 5. Eat all of my food SLOWLY 6. Stay away from the pie that our neighbors brought over....... WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO NICE???!?!?!?! GRRRRR!!!!!!
It is a little late to be posting my daily goals, but:

1. Drink at least 3 liters of water.

2. Stay within my calorie limit of 1500 cals

3. Bike for 45 minutes- try using the HIIT method.

4. Do 50 sit-ups.

4. Oh.. and visit my God daughter who is coming home for the hospital today!
It is never to late to post your goals, as long as you get them posted and then let us know tonight if you finished them.  :)  Good luck everyone with your goals today. 

amylsmith have fun seeing your god daughter :o)

wannabehott i would have a hard time staying away from the pie, too.  good luck fight it.  :)  I have been crocheting at night when i get bored so i wont' snack.  it works good. you should try it.  it is relaxing and fun.

jennpz89 have fun meeting your bf's granpa it will be nice i am sure.  Also good luck on the buffett those are the hardest hey.  :)

sasha_nagra what are arm swings?   Lunges are they hard?  I am not really sure how to do them.  120 crunches omg that is alot.  good for you.  good luck

we all are going to do great i know we can especially with support for everyone.  :) 

Good luck everyone  :)



My goal for today is to put an end to the week-long chocolate binge I've been on!  No chocolate today!  I WILL do this!

ok, mrs_yooper, time for your lunges lesson! (oh, and they will kill in the beginning. they're an awesome leg-and-butt exercise)

You start with your legs together, and step, oh about 3 feet in front with one leg. You want to go down with your back leg until your back knee is almost touching the floor, and both your legs shoud be at 90 degree angles. When you look past your front knee to your toes, you just just be able to see the tips of your toes over your knee. If you look sideways in a mirror, your body from your shoulders to your back knee (while bent) should be a straight line, perpendicular to the floor. Then bring your back foot forward, past your other foot, and into another lunge!

I hope that made sense lol! You can also do these forward stationary (just stepping forward with one leg, then bringing it back and bringing the other forward) or backward stationary (step backward instead of forward). Once you get good at these, you can add weights, and I like to do them also with the back foot on one of those half-ball things.

Good luck everyone! lysistrata, I feel for you with that chocolate binge...but hey, having one and a half kisses worth (I think thats the amount) of dark chocolate a day is good for you!

robyneg  

thanks for my lunge lesson, i will try to do some this afternoon after work and will post on here how i do.  :)  wish me luck.
