Goals for Today (Always Open!)

mrs_yooper on this site started this thread but it has long died out, and I wanted to bring it back.

We should 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!


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.

3)  In your end-of-day post (OPTIONAL), include your Nutrition Report for the day.

For Example:

Goals 06/10/09

1. Eat 1300 - 1500 Calories
2. Walk to Class (2.1 miles)
3. Study for Thursday's Test
4. Stock up at grocery store

In a separate post...

Goals Reached 06/10/09

1. Ate 1369 Calories (very low fat day but had 1 oz alcohol in my homemade vinaigrette) ((Edit:  I ate roughly half the chicken that I wanted to eat, so decreased by the appropriate Calories)
2. Walked to class and still had energy when I got there.  Wanted to walk back but the urge for organic soup was too strong.  I got a ride from a friend.
3. Studied some, would like to do some more tonight.
4. On my way out after this post!

Welcome to Chris and KA.  And Leopard I like your new picture, nice hair cut :)  I'm going away for a few days so won't be posting my stats.  Hope everyone enjoys their weekends!

Nice Idea,

I am going to eat 1800 calories

work out and burn 800 to 1000 calories at 2pm today

I will not drink alcohol!

I will drink 1 gallon of water

I will walk my two dogs at the dog park

I will appreciate my life and be thankful for what I have.

Hello everyone!

No real goals today for me!

I'm not counting Calories too much today because I don't have control of the Calories in my dad's baked ziti.  It's got mozzarella, ricotta, ziti noodles, sausage, Ragu, and ground beef.  Probably a few other ingredients that I am not going to ask about.

Today is also not a work-out day.  I have to work from 5 - 9:30, and that burns as much as 500 Calories.

But I will drink 3 bottles of water and I will not drink alcohol today.

LEOPARD:  Hope you remember me, I remember you.  My name is a little different as the 155 is my fantasy goal weight.  When we had to switch to the new CC format, I couldn't, so began fresh.  Your dad's ziti sounds heavenly.  Sometimes I just pick, at random, a food from the Food Browser, and enter that, if I have no idea whats in a dish.

Thank you for starting this again!!!

Also I'm working now, so no energy to exercise much, but will make a feeble attempt.

Goals for Today:  at 6:45pm not much time, but my goal is to stop eating soon as I finish my brussel sprouts.  And, to go to bed on time, so I can get up early and jog or wog.  ok, to do a few arm exercises also.

Hey 0h155, I don't know who you are at the moment b/c you didn't give me a name for reference.  BUt it's ok.

Today was just a no-count day for me anyways because i ended up going out to drink with some friends and had more calories of alcohol and carbs than what should be allowed in a day.  I had two Washington Apples, shared a Blue Motorcycle with a friend, and had an LIT to finish off the night.  When we got back to the apartment I had watermelon vodka mixed with fruit punch.  It was quite the night.  Surprisingly, I'm typing this well, because I am quite drunk right now.

Of all my goals, I accomplished merely the 3-bottles of water.  i had plenty of alcohol and I did not work out.  Tomorrow if I have the energy in the morning I will be walking to the pool and having a dip. Tomorrow's supposed to be pretty hot, so a dip in the pool will be quite the relief.

Goals for the Day

This is my kind of challenge. Thanks Lep for firing it up again.  It really motivates me.  I'm starting in the middle of my day, but here goes:

1. review the DVD content and check the translation one more time
2. write out lesson plans for tomorrow
3. go shopping for tonight's dinner and tomorrow's meals
4. do 2 x 15 minutes exercise before midnight
5. check student's diaries
6. write out the eating plan on post-its and put on desk and in kitchen
7. stick to my eating plan for the day

to stay at the lower range of my calorie limit so I can have some jagermeister tonight.

DH was hogging the computer last night so I'm entering yesterday's results this morning. I spent an hour doing swim aerobics and the whole evening on my feet making gumbo for today, so I'm so bothered about the short walk time or lower cals.

I'm going to post some goals today despite being out of my regular routine!  So much inspiration here. 

1)  the water, 1.5 litres, love Hesperia water

2)  walkiing at least 40 minutes

3)  eat 3 fruit and 3 veg

BTW Leopard, Ohio (oh155) always posted on the Yooper thread.  Hope we get some more peeps from the old thread! 

Hey all!  174.8!  So far, on weight loss, 3.2 lb, mostly this week.  Not purposefully, to lose this fast, but you know those times when you actually get serious about your health for the first time and you drop like 5 pounds, just like that?  That's how it is right now.

Kyashiis:  No problem!  Welcome in, and good luck with your goals!

Ka2007:  BBQ trip sounds fun!  Don't overdo it! :-)

Oh155:  We all have those nights.  I've done that before, and when now, when I'm under on Calories, I'd get something Calorie-specific and then put the rest of it away.  That way if I grabbed a bowl of cereal, I'm specific to the 100 - 150 calories, and the 1/2 c (45 cal) milk.  You also reminded me that I have a lot of laundry to do!  Thanks!  Yay, I know you now! <3

Shg_chiquita:  What other goals do you have?  Sounds like you just want to be low on healthy Calories so you can have empty Calories tonight.  Either way, have fun with the drinks!

Chris1208: Great exercise, swimming.  If you check the Activities roster, you see that swimming burns more Calories per hour.  Not sure if that's true, but an hour of swimming is, at minimum, 400 burned Calories.  Good job!

Figure - OH!  Thanks!
