Aww I love the last line. Sounds like you are a good Dad!
Watching my brother with his little girl (3mo old) that bond is pretty special.

Everyone's goals look good.

Jenn

Yeah I plan on doing some fun stuff. I've already challenged her to a go cart race at the indoor race track out there. She's accepted the challenge. :D We may do Howl O'Scream at Busch Gardens, maybe do a little shopping and hang out at the boardwalk. We won't have a lot of time there so we'll have to make the most of it.

Thanks! I wish her mom made her a priority as well, but I won't get started on that one. :rolleyes:

Goals week of October1st

1 – Lots of H2O.
2 – Lots of Veggies.

Check in
 

1. Eat "cleaner." - step it up a notch. Yes
2. 1200 calories max. 1182
3. Exercise 6 hours total for the week.
4. Sleep 7 hours per night. Yes
5. Log it all, and don't disappear no matter how busy! Yes
6. Focus on the positive. One of the cats threw up twice, but it was the same color as my new carpet...that's positive, right? :D

I'm bumming about my exercise goal, but I'm in vertigo mode today and it's been decidedly unpleasant. Of course, looking at the positive, it was a work-at-home day so I could basically take it easy. Hoping for a better tomorrow.

Monday checkin
 

GOALS:
Calories < 1700:1606
Workout 3 Times:YES
Protein 30% of calories:37%

Had enough calories left to add a Protein shake after my workout. I usually prefer to make them with milk but that would have put me over my calorie goal so I made it with water and some crushed ice and it wasn't bad. I will do it again to keep my Protein percentage up. My macro nutrients today were:
Protein 37%
Fat 39%
Carbs 24%

aw, father-daughter-weekend sounds great!
I was never close to my father unfortunately. :(

exercise:
do the 30-day shred at least 4 days this week
Zumba course on monday yes
go swimming once this week
start running: run at least on one day this week

eating:
make a meal plan for every weekday and log it (and stick to it) Mon: yes
more protein than carbs on at least 5 days (wednesday is a holiday so that's definitely excluded) Mon: yes
eat at least 22gr of fiber Mon: yes
drink at least 1l every day, 1.5l if vigorous exercise done (would that be enough?) Mon: at least 2l

anything else:
keep kitchen tidy. Mon: uh, well, I did not make much of a mess because I had mostly prepared lunch for today already since I knew I would be home late.

Mike - Have a great time with your daughter this week! You are an awesome Dad, just know that you can look forward to lots of good times, just maybe a little different than the ones you are used to. I still vacation with my folks. DH and I take big family trips at least once a year with them, my siblings, our spouses, kids, dogs, we all vacation together! Change comes with alot of opportunities. I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip!

Cassie - Bless you for taking on the tough stuff with your work... sorry to hear it was such a tough week. It's only Tuesday, I am sure you can make up the exercise goal in plenty of time! I hope the vertigo clears up soon.

I would have to put a No beside my goals for yesterday :( Carbs weren't too bad but they were over. I did get all the dishes done--including crockpot and extras. Still need to wipe off counters but it's definetely a good start.

Cassie I hope you feel better soon. I know vertigo isn't fun. Good job meeting your goals amalthea and nadinchen.
