What are your goals for THIS week (eating/exercise/water...)

[TigH]

My goodness, it's the Monday after a long (for most of us) weekend. I know our Canadian friends celebrated Canada day on the 1st (Happy Belated Canada Day!)

I celebrated a little too much on Friday. Then Saturday we went to a house warming party. Yesterday I was back on plan, but didn't feel like it as I ate some food that I didn't prepare myself. And I didn't get my regular exercise in over the weekend. So today I am ready to be back to my tried and true routine.

My goals this week are:

~ Rollerblade at least 4 days of the week
~ Get back to my weight lifting routine
~ Substitute regular crunches for pilates just for a change (M, W, F)
~ Keep drinking my water
~ Continue eating small meals through the day, enter data into Fitday.com to monitor protein, carb, and fat intake
~ Post often to WISH
~ Keep in touch regularly with my PM buddies
~ CELEBRATE the healthy choices I've made instead of looking for failures
~ Stock up on foods that are on my plan so there are no emergency scrambles to make a meal in a pinch
~ Power walk with DH and my sister after dinner if the weather permits

What are your goals? Do you feel focused? I do now that I have written this list!

Good Morning Tig!

My plan for this week is induction (full force) again! (ugh)

I had a terrible 3 days and my eating was completely out of control. I even went back to drinking real coke!!

So, my plan...

-Drink Water! I can't seem to keep this up on the weekends.
-Stay as close to zero carbs as I can and get my body back into ketosis.
-Walk!

I have a new goal, I am planning on WDW/Universal for October and meeting you!

To drop those 2 blasted pounds will be:

~WATP 2 mile tape (midday) and the 1 mile tape before bed.

~Getting back to the am elliptical time (Hopefully on Wed giving youngest DS 1 more day to get better)

~And watching what goes in the mouth I fell off the wagon more by the time I was getting to eat I was starved and therfore the portions were to big.

~WATER WATER WATER

~Not wimping out of the swim time with youngest DS.

My goal for this week is to:
Stay on the WW plan and not stray away.
Do at least 5 days of Power 90
And drink my water!
So everyone out there help keep me on track! I am tired of carrying around this extra weight! I want it gone once and for all!

My goals for this week:

* Do SOMETHING physical every day, even if it's just ten minutes of yard work!
* Post my activity each day on the WISH board, to keep myself motivated.
* Stop matching my super-active husband's LARGE portions at mealtime.
* Try a new form of exercise this week - I ordered WATP yesterday and am looking forward to trying it out!
* Turn down the volume on that voice in my head that says this isn't going to work - it WILL work, I know it!
* Water, water and more water - it's hot out there!

I'm so glad I found this board. And TigH, you are an inspiration to me - you get lots of exercise and your posts are always so nice and positive! Congratulations on reaching your goal!

Thanks for starting this thread!

I am feeling more focused this morning especially after the 40 min. walk on the treadmill.

Here are my goals for the week:

*Continue with the 40 min. treadmill walk 5 days this week.
*I usually don't have a problem getting in at least 90 oz of water, but I want to keep better track just to make sure I'm getting in the amount that I'm thinking.
*I plan on eating more fruits this week. That is one area that I tend to have a problem with. I don't care for apples or pears so I'm going for grapes and bananas this week.

Thanks for starting this thread, it sure makes it feel so official when you put things in writing.

I've got to remain cheat free until I hit Onederland (hopefuly 8/1) so I came up with a plan of spelling ONEDERLAND on my fridge- so every 2 days I get to put a cut-out letter on the fridge if I've remained cheat free (for me that's no junk food). By July 27th I'll have spelled out the word and hopefully be very close to realizing it on the scales so for THIS week my goals are....

Walk 4 miles M-T-W-H-S-S - Resting on Friday
Hit the pool with the kiddoes atleast 2x this week to practice their swimming strokes
Drink lots of water and eat only fruit/nuts for my mid-meal snack
And go to bed at 9:30pm each night- I need my sleep waking up at 5:30 each morning!

Thanks TigH- sometimes just writing this stuff down really helps me stay committed. I'm off to have my kids help me cut out some letters!

My goal is to take off the 3 lbs i gain over my long three day weekend. I did'nt indulge in food so much as drink . So hopefully that will be accomplished this week. I want to rest this week due to being so sore from walking so much all weekend. So i doubt i walk till the middle of the week with watp. So -3 is the goal for the week.

Great thread! It really helps me to list things--keeps me focused!

My goals this week are:
1) Stay within WW points each day
2) Drink at least 6 glasses of water each day
3) Walk on treadmill or do WATP tape each day. So far I can only do 15 min on the treadmill at a time, so I will try to increase that to 20 min by the end of the week. I also just got the WATP tapes so I will do that some days to vary my routine.

Ughhhh!!!! TIGH!!! I need this thread!!! My sister's wedding is on Saturday and I had a REALLY FUN WEEKEND!!! LOL not fun for the diet though!!


My goals are for this week:

*Stay on Induction..(The Alex induction) all week!

*Exercise Exercise Exercise...really going to push myself on that machine

*Drink Lots more water..(although I really have been)

***Did I mention Exercise...LOL

Karen, thanks for starting this thread! I like the idea of writing down what I need to do for the week, and think I'll be more likely to do it once I see it in writing. I leave for vacation this Friday, so exercising will be minimal to non-existent on my travel days of Fri/Sat.

1. Exercise 1.5 hours Monday-Thursday
2. Drink only diet pop (no caffeine) or water
3. If I want to eat something that is outside of meal times, give myself 15 minutes (to really think about it...am I thirsty, am I tired, am I stressed, or am I REALLY hungry?) before popping something into my mouth.
4. Get my 5 (fruit/veggies) a day in each day.

Ok, good to have goals...especially listed out (the visual person I am)

1. water, water
2. curves 3 times this week
3. treadmill every evening (except mabye tomorrow--dd's birthday celebration) for 45-50 minutes watching a movie.
4. ONLY eat after my stomach growls (even if I'm not eating when the family is eating)
5. Stopping eating when I'm comfortably satisfied (not stuffed, bloated, refluxing)
6. Pray about weight loss and invite God into it instead of taking everything in my own hands
7. Not allow a weekend camping trip spoil the progress I'm making (my mom will be there and she always has good food around!)

 

[Fantasia Sam]

Well I don't hve a long weekend to get over but I still have some little goals for this week:

* Go to the gym at least 3 times - be it the gym or the pool

* Drink more water

* Use my "Sins" more wisely (I have like 15 a day that I can spend on anything and I've been spending them on mini chocolate bars that don't last long!!)

* lose another 2 pounds to get to that magic half a stone loss

 

[redsaid]

Hope its ok if I join this thread

Well this is my first week of 're-starting' so my goals for this week are:

~ no soda
~ goal of 80+ oz of water per day
~ stay within points

I got back on soda pretty badly (Sprite is my soda of choice) and have been eating as though i'm getting ready to hibernate. So for the first week, I need to focus on water and points again.

I will set a specific exercise goal next week. Tomorrow morning I am taking the little people to the beach for 1 or 2 nights and then Saturday we are going back down to visit my dad for most of the day. I will be doing some 'moving' but no tapes probably which I find easier to use for goals.

I also overindulged in the drinking/eating over the long weekend and silly me stepped on the scale this morning for some added torture! I'm hoping that number was water retention and that I'll be back down to where I was last Friday by the end of this week. These are my goals to help me get there:

Drink as much water as my bladder will hold!
No late night snacking!
Sensible lunches & dinners (I never seem to have problem with breakfast).
Exercise at least 4 times this week with 2 days of weights.

Thanks TigH for starting this thread!

If I want to eat something that is outside of meal times, give myself 15 minutes (to really think about it...am I thirsty, am I tired, am I stressed, or am I REALLY hungry?) before popping something into my mouth.

Blanq, my friend, you read my mind. TOM is here big big time and brought with him those dreaded munchies! who invited him anyhow! gggrrrr!!!! grumble grumble!!!!

I should've read that earlier tonight before I ate three cookies! yikes! i hate admitting that! I journaled the points and now I"m over today! eek! I'm having a harder day b/c I too stepped on the scale and showed a 3 lb gain from Friday! NOOOOOO!!!!!!

I didn't think I did that bad over the weekend.

Oops, i'm off track, this is a goals thread not a PMS thread

My goals for week from here on out:

-continue my exercising though I have three early mornings that are making the scheduling harder (3 more jogs and Sculpting Yoga, 2 more aerobic of some type and SHAPE weight routine days)
-water water water water water water water water
-limit alcohol though I'd probably be less grumbly
-stay in points everyday, no more over pts unil MI meet
-2 pts per day for snacks through friday, maybe sat (AnnieT?)

enough already!

My goals for this week are:

1) Stay on induction. Today was day 1 on Atkins & I'm off to a good start.
2) Be sure my induction foods are in the house & ready to go so when I do want to eat I'll be able to make an appropriate choice instead of reaching for my old stand-bys because nothing else was available. Maybe it's just because Atkins is a new way of eating for me, but it seems to me that food prep is very time consuming!
3) Exercise at least 5 days this week. Walk at least 2-3 miles or swim at least 1/2 mile or spend 1.5 hrs doing some other form of exercise.
4) I already drink GALLONS of water, I don't have to work very hard at that one!
5) Stay close to WISH to get support from all of you to be sure I stay motivated & on track.
