[dawg 0]

My Daily Goals:

1. Not die. (so far, so good)

2. Eat Slooooowlllly (abject failure, try again tomorrow, unless item 1 becomes a failure).

3. Exercise in some way for thirty minutes (I've chickened out, my back is still troubling me)

4. Feel better about being me. (not doing too bad, I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that "Fat bastard" is becoming less applicable.

Oops didn't make it in yesterday.

C 228 (-60 total) (-2 this week)

(current 202)(total lost 27)(down 2 this week)

Switched to Metformin from Actos this week, may be helping also.

I always blew up like a balloon on Actos. Metformin (Glucophage) is supposed to help you not gain weight and I had so much better results with it.. hope you do too!

Great job, MollyMolly!

Dawg - that 1st goal of yours is a big one for me too!

But currently my #1 goal is to lay off the sweets.. My mom died in January and I've been gorging on sweets ever since...

But I'm working hard at getting back on track. Tacking it one day at a time and doing ok.

My daily goals:

1. Curves has my money now. Three days a week, I'm there.

2. I will take my 40 min walking route at least one day a week.

3. I will drink a minimum of 4 bottles of Water a day. That's about 70oz.

4. I will spend 15 min a day decluttering the hotspots in my home.

5. For Lent, I gave up LBT time for prayer, so M-F, for one hour while DS is napping and DD is in school, I will stay away from LBT and spend some time reading my Bible and praying. That has worked well so far, and Lent isn't over, so I'll keep that up.

Hey, I have lost about 5% Body fat since my high weight 2 years ago, how 'bout that?! It's still high, though. Curves will get me strong again. Yay!

Daily goals huh. Hm.

Today, I will only have 2 cups of coffee instead of 4.

Today, I will eat a better lunch than yogurt.

Tonight, I will clean my computer room so I can see the floor again!

This weekend, I will go fill my dad's truck and my mom's car up with gas (dad had a hip restructure 2 weeks ago, and is homebound. My mom doesn't know how to gas!!!)

This weekend, I will clean out the trashmobile...errr...my pretty red car.

My goal this week has been to drink, drink, drink, Water that is. I've been pretty good getting anywhere from 70 to 120 oz. a day. You can't drink too much water, right?

What I really want to work on is the snacking, I feel as if I've done a little better this week with keeping a food journal. Before eating something I ask myself if I really want to write this down in the journal. But I could be losing a lot more if I cut my snacking down.

My goal is to work out at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. (started last night, so far so good)

My goal is to eat more protein! (started today have 40g so far..and still have dinner to go)

Spend more time with my daughter (2 1/2 years old) playing...now that I have shed 20lbs I can move better without getting out of breath. I want to play outside with her at least 1 hour a day when weather and daylight provides the accessibility.

Todays goals:

Well my day was pretty much trashed due to nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and fatigue. Lesson for the day? Don't space out taking your Effexor for two days! I'm feeling much better after taking one and sleeping for 2.5 hours.

I will walk on a minimum of 1/2 mile each day. (Nope, couldnt walk 20 feet without sitting down.)

I will drink 64 ounces of Water every day. (Done.)

I will eat my meals at the diningroom table and focus on chewing well and eating slowly. (Success.. every meal.)

When I'm home, I will not sit around and do nothing all day. I will complete at least one project in my home per day. (Done! Sort of.. not physical stuff, but made Dr. appts, haircut appts, etc. Just one more thing marked off my list!)

Just thought I would crash this here thread. Susan and I have been doing the Committment thread thing so I thought I would see what is going on in here. So here is my day.

Today the meal plan went soooooooooooo far out the window it ain't even funny. First I had an appt today for a mammogram. EWWW!! Yeah they got squashed today. Second there is this darling Italian restaurant close to the Breast Center so John and I had a little date today. So I had a chicken Lasagna with Mushroom and Tomato cream sauce. Yes I know that was very bad but so worth it for the date. LOL!!

Then paid for it later with a stress headache. Actually I was fighting it off all day. I was stressed big time over the mammogram. I had a spot on my Right breast 6 months ago and this was a follow up appt. I got the all clear though so then the stress hit me. I had to take a min and just relax.

Then I got home and heard from a really good friend of ours that her father is on his death bed and not expected to last through next week. So that brought up alot of emotions I thought were long gone. My father passed away almost 11 years ago now but this brings up all thoses emotions again.

MORE STRESS!!! So I ate McDonald's tonight. Yes shame on me, but ya know what I allowed myself this day. Tomorrow will be better.

Hugs to everyone facing the head demons and surviving one more day.

Heyas Penni! Crash, camp overnight, move in... whatever feels good! Except, be prepared - this group will be tough on ya. Tomorrow, no more self sabatoging girl! Tomorrow, you get back on your Nutrisystem and exercizing or I'll hand you over to the watch dogs of the club. Heather? You out there? Get ready to help me kick Penni's butt if she doesn't get back on track tomorrow! *grins*

Love ya Penni - glad you came on over girl. I'm jealous of your date - but the boobies squishing.. you can have that. Yuck. *hugs*

[PhotoNut 7]

Warning - check calorie count before eating! I ate over 500 calories worth of pot roast in one sitting yesterday. Sure seemed harmless enough, 6 oz of meat, good protein.. right? Err wrong! 265 calories per 3 ounces! Eeep!

I was starting to wonder if I'm really off track, with no weight loss last week and all. So I started journaling my food again, watching my drinking with meals, etc. and I convinced Dawg to let me weigh this morning so I could get a good idea about what's really going on with me and what I need to adjust. I really didn't expect to lose anything, didn't feel like I had, but I'd lost 2.5 pounds. So I'm feeling not quite so "off" now. How's everyone else's week going? Meeting those daily goals? Saying no to stuff that will sabatoge you? If not, get your butt on here and start talking to the club members. That's what we're here for.

Yup Nutrisystem Breakfast this morning and resisting temptation to pig out on anything and everything. Gonna go eat an apple instead.

Oh by the way, Beef is the highest caloric and fat content of all the meats. I limit my beef drastically. Fish, chicken, Turkey, tuna anything but beef. If you must then only 3 oz.
