Check-in for Saturday:
1. 1500 cal per dayyes!NoNoclose - 1545yes,No, 1695ish
2. Exercise 45 minutes minimum for at least 4 daysNoYes no. yes!yesYes!
3. 72 ounces of water each dayYes!yesyesYes!yesYes!
4. 5 servings of frts/veg's per dayYes!NoyesYes!yesYes!
5. Multivitamin dailyNoyesyesYes!yesYes!
6. Get the holiday things put away!Nope.no.Not yet.Done!
7. Balance the checkbook!Nope.no.Not yet.maybe tonight...yes!Done.
Went over a little while watching football, but also exercised more than I'd planned on.
Today, I'm already over because of the 2 beers and the fried snacks - but the Bears were playing and the food/beverages were part of the whole experience. I did start off the eating with a huge plate of lettuce with chicken/salsa mixture I made earlier in the week from Cassie's recipe. I added a few tortilla chips and some sharp cheddar, and it was awesome. Next week - Packers! Sorry, Quinn, but the Packers are gonna lose. I was asked to bring (home-made, fabulous) cookies to watch that game, so it'll be a challenge to plan my eating strategy. I'll use Sunday for my incentive to eat well the rest of the week. I find Friday weigh-in really motivating too.
Canary - sorry to hear about that monster of a disease which is making life miserable for you. Hope the accupuncture helped!
Ruby - thanks for the encouragement! This is the first time in many years that I think I can actually reach my goal - all thanks to Fitday.

Hey Canary,
you mentioned that you have used acupuncture for your Fibro. Does it help? I am so sorry to see that you suffer with this awful disease. It sure seems like with all the medical break throughs these days we ought to have a better handle on this one. I admire your attitude and diligence in the face of all that discomfort and pain.

For everyone, I hope your team wins. For me, I'm watching the Golden Globes!

Hello all
I'm new as of today with a start wt of 220.8. Looking forward to the new ME.
1) Eat less
2) Move more
3) Only 1 TV show per day. (instead of my usual 4-5 hours)
4) Drink more water
5) No alcohol this week.
I'm hoping that joining in I will feel more accountable.
Thanks Karen

Ups and downs to end the week. I didn't do too well on the calories or the pie chart 
...but I know what I did wrong: didn't plan well for son's tournament, so ended up letting myself get too hungry and gave in for pizza for dinner, committed to a "meatless" day but didn't compensate the protein, and ate for emotional reasons (got cranky w/hubby about things that need to be done around the house). Oh, and I didn't exercise, either 
.
But I did paint some trim, squeaking that goal in last-minute. I thought it would be easier to do the upstairs hallway since I didn't have to move furniture; once I started, I realized that there are six doors and door frames up there...what a pain!
Going to keep my goals the same for this coming week.
