Geez… this week I am just getting around to a posting a few goals and we are already on page 6 ! YAY!!! It is a crazy week for me work wise, so that means I’ll be way too busy to feel hungry, which is a bonus! Good luck everybody on your goals this week! I'll check in when I can.

Welcome back Lisa and Tori!
you know what it's like when we get a bunch of cackling hens together. Those two Y's are looking lonely, the N's look like they are having a party. Tomorrow, lets both let the Y's party!

1.) Calories under 1400/day: M - Y
2.) Stick with C25k program: M - off
3.) Walk to car x4: M - Y

Um, so that's all I can think of for now, if I have any other ideas, I'll add them later.

Now that the "term" is back in and scheduling is hectic I need to start documenting my goals too. I am not there yet as far as meal planning (even though I was burned by this yesterday).

1. Log every day
2. Cals 1200-1400
3. Exercise at least 5x a week
4. Read posts on this thread.
5. Replace a coffee with cream with green tea once per day.

Mern- did you ever come back from your cardio class?

Robin, nice job on calling out Mern. It almost brings a tear to my eye! Nice goals this week.

I say deal! Moving shelves around the store today will be fun (day three of this...) but I will definitely get on the elliptical tonight! Gotta force myself because the benefits outweight the cons. Now what are the actual cons besides me being lazy and wanting to play computer games? Hmm...

I just love math! Math major with a nutrition minor is my background, so those are the kind of theses I would be looking into Go figure, right?!

Ah bueno. Ahora entiendo. Por cierto, no saben español. Estoy teniendo para utilizar un traductor. Los que aquí que no saben español o utilizar un traductor probablemente piensa que estoy realmente inteligente! Jaja

Mike, yeah, you WOULD get all teary-eyed with joy having someone else besides you calling me out. I used your rock throwing ban as an excuse to put the rocks back in the creek only because I'm too lazy to lug them around. LOL Wow, great job touching base with all of us.

Quinn, welcome back!

Everyone else, I'm rooting all of you on!


Today's planned menu in small meals
-- Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle cheese wedge (yummy) and a flaxmeal pancake
--Low carb veggie soup, preservative free roast beef with horseradish mustard on half a low carb tortilla
--zero cholesterol broccoli omelet
--black and white chicken chili (with black soybeans and without the green chilies I forgot to buy) and a side of sweet and sour cucumbers.
--celery stuffed with tuna salad (I use ranch dressing in it instead of mayo)

This just goes to show the AWESOMENESS of the internet... only on the internet can you be sitting in a gray sweatsuit, ponytail with no makeup and still get a compliment! lol And no, Cupcake, we're not getting older, we're getting better- like a fine wine... or aged, smelly, expensive cheese, depending on that whole "glass half empty/half full" thing...
