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...

6)  cantaloupe and ff cottage cheese for snack -- had this in the evening, yum, again.

Hey all, sorry I disappeared for a few days.  I got completely wasted Sunday, slept until about 4 Monday, and binged on sushi last night (OK, it's not binging, I knew exactly what I was doing. YUM! Might try to experiment making some tonight with brown rice and cooked salmon instead)

But I'm still in the 174 boat, so I'm perfectly fine with making all my Calories up with sushi.  Last night I retained water b/c of the soy sauce and alcohol but this morning I've been just fine.

OK... goals... getting rusty here.

RE: goals for 6/23/09

1. eat under 1600 big fat FAIL, due to my hubby's b/day dinner.. ate about 2000 cals today.

2. drink 6 bottles water, fail again

3. i did complete all my errands though. not much, but at least it's something =)

Goals for 6/24/09

1. I think this is my daily goal for the time being, eat under 1600 cals and drink 6 bottles of water.

2. Work up a sweat for at least a consecutive hour at work, shouldn't be too hard!

3. Take a 15ish minute walk, if time permits, and if my feet aren't withered and dead post work day!

Goals Completed 06/23/09

1. I made a 1000 Deficit.  I very likely underestimated the amount of meat I had, and the computer said I had a 1100 deficit.  It was a 3/4" thick regular T-bone steak
2. I stayed awake in class.
3. I called Lou, he was depressed that he may lose me if he has to go back to New Jersey
4. I walked to class, a little slower than usual but was exactly on time for class.  It was really hot feeling when I got out, so I had a friend drop me off at the pool, and I would walk back to my apartment (another mile.  Completed miles, 3.3)
5. I put on sunblock as soon as I got to the pool.  I burned some anyways, but it doesn't hurt so I guess it's minor.  First burn of the year will toughen up my white skin, lol.
6. I swam for about 35 minutes, then did some light water exercises (walking laps in the pool)
7. I tanned and burned a bit but I didn't nap.  Instead I studied a little.
8. Not even close, yet.  Will do soon as I pull the coffee off the pot.
9. Even with the Tbone steak for dinner, I still kept my fat intake under 50, at 39 grams.

Ka2007:  Is it about to be your dad's birthday?

 

no, his bday is in march, but in my country we also celebrate name day (the day his name is in the calendar, coming from the old times when there were names of saints in the calendar - more is explained in wikipedia athttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_day). it is like a smaller version of birthday, ie ppls usually have nice dinner and give the person smallish presents:)

eta: your goals/report sound good!

Awesome.  I'd always like a reason to party.  Just I'm off alcohol at the moment.  Alcohol and I had a fight and I lost.  Badly.

I really did everything today except for the weights but I'm not caring much about that.

Had to struggle a bit this evening to eat enough calories, which is probably because I had that huge stir fry for a very late lunch, not very many calories cuz I only ate it with 1/2 cup of rice mixed in, mostly veggies.  Ended the day with pita chips and some instant vanilla pudding.

I remembered when I was eating the pita chips, I ate some yesterday and forgot to log them.  I wonder how often that happens?  Maybe why I'm not losing steadily.  Eh!

Figure:  I think a little "forget" here and there isn't so bad.  But bring a pack of post-its or another small notebook with you in your hand bag, just to log a quick nibble, such as if you snag a chip or two from a coworker's bag of Doritos.  Been there, done that.  My little notebook is pink, and it matches my new phone.

I'm going to go ahead and log tomorrow's goals, and hope for the best

Goals 06.24.09

1. Coffee at breakfast - don't forget and leave teh coffeepot full of cold coffee all day.
2. Do well on the final exam.
3. At least double my fiber.
4. Walk to/from class.  Doing so burns 400 or so calories.
5. Swimming optional.  10 minutes or so.
6. Work from 5 - 9:30.  It burns 800 or so calories.
7. Deficit 800 - 1000.  Wish me luck on that one, with all the exercise.
8. Drink 3 - 4 bottles of water.
9. Don't eat at work!

this happens quite often:) i sometimes drink wine but these days i kinda think the cals and hangovers are not worth it. i plan to have a few glasses of wine during my holiday but very little

Lots of goals for today:

1)  Run 5k on treadmill -- done, 47:13 (lazy)

2)  Get bagels from the bagel shop (it's been closed the last two times I've stopped by) -- Done

3)  Take the recycling to work to put in their bin -- Done

4)  Stop by Lowe's and get pavers and round flouro bulbs -- got the light bulbs, but no time to get pavers

5)  Take Penny for a quick walkies on the way home from the bagel shop -- Done and for longer than I expected

6)  Drink 1.5 litres of water -- done

7)  Eat more cantaloupe and cottage cheese -- done, had this for brekkie

8)  Grapefruit for snack -- no, too bad, wait, I had one for dessert after dinner!!

9)  Stir fry again for lunch  -- did I eat lunch?  Oh yeah a salad instead

Edit:  Have to apologise for making most of my goals about food!

Figure: Your apology is accepted, but you made me hungry.  Will grab a soup and salad.

I'm not necessarily editing my daily goal (written last night when I was hyper for no reason), but I'm going to update a few things right here.

Firstly, see post 75 for reference.  Numbers 1, 2, and 3 are already finished, and it's not even noon yet.  Number 1, I forgot to even make it; 2 and 3 were successful.  I decided that number 4 is not necessary, and that the extra 40 minutes can be used to study hard instead.  Plus, burning 400 more Calories on a work day means I have to eat and drink more water, and I'm not all that willing to eat when I'm not hungry.  Decided that instead of walking to class I may walk to the pool and do number 5.  Number 6, 7, and 8 are required, and I might be loose about number 9, depending on how long I'm at the pool and the like.

leopard that was hilarious to read! Sounds like you're doing well though.

I missed yesterday. Spent the day on the road, ate well so I'm OK.

Today's goals (a little late )

1. swim after work
2. walk 40 min
3. 50 sit-ups
4. finish patching floor
5. drink 64 oz water (1/2 way there)

YAY, I'm funny.  Thanks for the compliment Chris.

KA2007 Give me some things to do.  Tomorrow might just be walking to school and back, swimming some, and chillaxing, that's about it.

By the way, I got down to 172.8 BEFORE giving myself Food Poisoning.  It's kinda funny.  Here I am, throwing up alcohol and food Sunday and Monday (I'm not bulimic but I lost 3 pounds throwing up - don't follow my example!), and then today I eat something out of my fridge and throw up at work on and off for four hours.
