Committment Thread to lose weight

[Penni60 45]

My grandson is home safe and sound now. Just got a phone call letting me know. I miss him already. I have this week to get back on track with the meals then on the 14th I fly to TN to visit my other two grand daughters and then a Health Conference in GA. I won't be home till the 24th. SIGH!! I might lose 5 lbs by the end of the year at this rate. LOL!!!

Today's plan accomplishment:

I will follow my Nutrisystem meal plans. (OK, gotta get back to the plan starting tomorrow. Ate relatively good today. Not too many over the top calories so far.)

I will exercise for a minimum of 20 min a day 4 days a week. (Got up at 7a to take grandson to the airport and see him safely on the plane. Just got a phone call that he made it home just fine and is already planning his next trip out here. I miss him already. I LOVE being a Grandma too Susan. I just wished I lived closer.)

I will lose at least 1 lb a week. (I sure hope I see a lose come Monday. I have not been eating as much since I am sick and I have been drinking lots of Water.)

I will drink at least 64 ounces of Water a day. (Got in about 64oz so far. Can we say I live in the bathroom now. LOL!!)

Positive reinforcement mantras:

I will continue to eat healthy and hope to lose weight.

I will continue to exercise and hope to lose weight.

I will continue to be proud of myself with all the accomplishments to date.

Brenda: You can do it. Keep those Vows and all is going to work out in the end.

Paula: Where did you go? HMMM??? Step away from the GS Cookies!!!

Who did I miss?

Tina: That is a great outlook. Thanks for the words of encouragement on this thread an the other thread too.

I will lose at least 1 lb a week. (I sure hope I see a lose come Monday. I have not been eating as much since I am sick and I have been drinking lots of Water.)

Guess who's sleeping in a little bed in my room? *big happy smiles* Yup, we brought our grandson back over tonight so his mom and dad could get the moving cleanup completed.

I am so stinking sore from all the walking yesterday! Berks are NOT the thing to wear for speed walking when you have a 250+ lb body! *laughs*

I will do 30 minutes of cardio every day. (Too too sore to try.)

I will drink 6 - 16.9oz bottles of Water every day. (Way behind on Water today.)

I will write down every bite I put in my mouth - quantity, calories, Protein. (Yup, keeping up on this.)

I will take on one realistic self or home project per day. (Dawg and I took a drive to the mountains today. I took the camera along and started working on my photography homework for the week. We also did a large grocery shop and - did I mention that we have our grandson with us again? hehe)

Penni thanks for the encouragement. Welcome to all those who have recently joined us here. Photonut - you and I have interest in the sam hobby - photography. I love taking pictures and I scrapbook as well. Love my digital camera and hope to have a digital SLR one of these days....

I didn't do too bad over the weekend but my WW (weight watchers) plan was not easy to stick to. I did "okay" but not great or nothing. I have done good so far today in sticking back to the core plan on WW. I am trying to get more Water in than normal as my allergies are giving me a fit and I don't want anything to eat becuase of all the drainage... I know, I know, that is gross huh? This stinks because I was due to have a fill tomorrow but they won't do it now since I have so much drainage.

Goals for Today, Monday April 3rd

• I vow to exercise for at least 30 minutes aiming for an hour a day goal 2 miles walked per day. ()
  
• I vow to follow the Weightwatchers Core plan. ()
  
• I vow to drink 64 oz Water per day, aiming for 92 oz.:spit: ()
  
• I will NOT beat myself up when I have not lost yet:boxing: :ohwell: :frusty:(still not good at this yet)
  
• I vow to only eat core plan snack between meals.:hungry: ()
  
• I vow to take my Vitamins daily. (done)

I will post later tonight on how I have done on my goals above...

Basically, I've been doing ok, just not perfect. Starting tomorrow... perfection baby! :scared:

Where'd you go, Penni? I thought I'd come over here & poke you with a stick! Plus, I've been looking for a home for my checklist. It was inspired by you, lol, so you're getting stuck with it!

I don't weigh myself (no scale)... so I HAVE to work my plan to make a difference. I'm really trying to focus on things I CAN control & not stuff I can't (water weight, plateaus, etc).

I'm getting really, really tired of chewing. **sigh** Do you still chew like a bandster Penni? I have this theory that bandsters lose weight simply because there's not enough time in the day to chew enough calories!

Oh, I forgot my NSV, lol! One ENTIRE day with ZERO food incidents! No golf-ball, slime, or PB! First day in a LONG time!
