My first Saturday post in a long time! Can I make it through the weeking without bailing out??
1) avg 65g carbs for the week: 28.3, 47.9, 37.6, 267.4, 44.7
2) 3000 calories deficient for the week: -770, -355, -764, +273, -797
3) gallon of water per day: yes, yes, yes, yes, I think so
4) workout 3 times: no, yes, no ,yes, no
I just did some number crunching and to hit my average of 65g carb goal for the week I have to average 14.5g for the next 2 days.

I was thinking of Mern, myself, Mike. I couldn't remember if she had a vacay planned, but she's been MIA and I hope all is well.
I haven't been checking in either..bad, bad...Thursday was crash and burn, Friday was right on target. We're heading to my in-laws at the lake for a couple days; I think they have a wireless connections so hopefully I can continue to check in and log stuff.

I've been a delinquent but I'm staying accountable!
Hello Everyone!
Well I was on a total roll with my goals this week and feeling really good about it. Then yesterday evening I went out with a bunch of friends to celebrate a birthday and totally lost my grip! In the words of our favorite teen psychologist, Cassie, it was an EPIC FAIL. I went over my calorie limit by about 1000! YIKES!!!!
Today I was determined to undo some of the damage so I am going to try and limit myself to 1100 calories PLUS I went to the gym this morning and did spinning class - which is a real calorie blaster - as well as some stair master and some running on the treadmill. I figure I burned at least 1000 calories so maybe just maybe yesterday's epic fail won't show up on the scale? I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
GOALS:
1. Eat between 1100-1400 calories per day: YES 1214/ YES 1337/YES 1252/YES 1254/NOT EVEN CLOSE 2492
2. Exercise 4 hours: YES 40 min/ YES 45 min/YES 95 min
3. Drink 10-12 glasses of water: DONE!/ DONE!/ DONE!/ DONE!/DONE!
4. Take my multi-vitamin: YES/ YES/ YES/ YES/YES
5. Eat over 30% protein: YES 34%/ YES 38%/ YES 44%/YES 40%/ YES 30%
6. NO SUGAR! YES/ YES/YES/YES/YES/NO!
Other goals:
1. Hem curtains: 1 panel done/Another one done!
2. Water flowers: YES YES/YES/YES
3. Deposit check: YES
4. make pear salsa:
Main80, welcome back from vacation. I had a really hard time getting my head back into reality after returning from my holiday too. But it feels great to be back and thank you for the encouragement!
Terri, I totally hear what you are saying about this internet generation. I am so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of emails that come in and like you said, it takes time away from the actual work which lengthens the work day. It's a vicious cycle!

Does this mean that we have private message abilities on the forum now? I can't seem to send or receive any. I think it would be a great feature. That way when someone goes MIA, they will be alerted via email that they have a private message waiting for them on the forum. Wouldn't that be cool? (hint hint)

I'm here! Sorry 'bout going MIA without notice. I see I haven't logged on since 6/24!
Fell off the wagon big time on food and exercise last week but didn't gain--didn't lose an ounce, either. I wasn't hiding from our group--just got busy doing other things and didn't take time to log on here. This week have been very good about food, but didn't enter stuff into my nutrition tracker.
Joined the Y yesterday--membership fee paid by my health insurance under the Silver Sneakers Program for senior citizens. Supposed to make an appointment with a senior advisor for a tour and orientation to the equipment. I'll do that the week of July 11th when my grandkids will be visiting their Dad out of state for a week. For now I'm just using a treadmill and exercise bike and will join some group exercise classes beginning Monday. It's only 2 1/2 miles from my house to the Y so I can afford to go at my convenience and let DH babysit the grandkids instead of us both going together in the evening.
Wishing y'all a safe and happy holiday weekend!
