5/10 roll call and goals

Alright ya'all, how did you do towards your goals last week? I exercised a lot and even mowed my whole yard Saturday night!!! Did well on the eating when I had control back after PMS, but am hitting the pretzals today. I have to have a good week because the century club is not far away!! Would like to be there by next Wednesday, 5/19, when I weigh in at support group. So............goals for this week are..... 1)walk 2 miles at least 4 times 2)do stomach crunches (sit ups that only go up as far as you can) at least 4 times 3)follow the dieticians recommendations for starch/carb (mostly crackers and pretzals) intake Is that enough goals? I hope so. Let's hear from you now. God's blessings to you all, Andrea

Hey Andrea, well i am exercising more and i am cleaning my apt. going threw stuff for garage sales time.....My main goal is to make sure i get lots of protein in a day. so i am finding recipes and converting them to very low calories and i then add unflavored protein powder to it so everything i eat has protein in it. i am doing research on how not to lose my hair. if i find anything i will let you guys know....i am still job hunting so i will keep looking i may decide to move to somewhere there are jobs i am not sure..... well have a great week......lynda

I'm here and not late, as usual!!! Same goals as last week, water, water, water and walking, and no carbs!! I see the surgeon, rheumy and PCP all tomorrow. I figure I will poked and proded so badly I will be ready to scream! LOL I will let you know what the "official" weight is. Too bad it has to be PMS time, probably adds a few pounds of fluid. Oh well, Keep up the great work everyone and Andrea, thanks for keeping this going. (((HUGS))) Elizabeth

I am so excited that the supprot group meeting is coming so soon!!!! I can't wait! it seems like we just missed it, time is flying by I tell you!!! I did pretty good all last week, then the weekend came and I was snacking....So this week back on track.......Limit caRbs, limit snacking, and exercise more!!!! Hope I do it!!!! hAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE! Jesi

My immediate goal is to make it over 30 minutes without going to the bathroom! My poor bottom even with the vaseline and Prep H. Could be a long, short night. Have to be up by 4:15. Managed to chug down the second half without barfing. Tried holding my nose but that didn't even work. It was purely mind over stomach. Cuz if I barfed it up, I'd have to drink it again! My hubby, Roger, will post tomorrow when he gets home. If he remembers. Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes. Lyn

Lynda - good luck job hunting. If you create any good recipes, post them to the recipe boards and let us know they are there. I love to try new recipes! Elizabeth - so glad that you are here again. Hope that things continue to "simmer down" for you and you can be around more often. I'm glad to help out by continuing with goal setting - such a good idea that you had. Let us know how much you have lost. Are we ever going to see new pics???? Jesi - love the word "limit" That means control and that's what I need more of. I know that you'll do wonderfully. Are you at that century mark yet? Lyn - remember prayers need to go out her way - surgery today. Laurie - How did you do on the sit-ups last week? Hope things begin to look up for you. Lisa - Finally, a post from you!!!! You have your own personal trainer? Thanks for telling me! Let us know how work-outs go..... Shelly - Wow - another lucky person with a personal trainer!
