Monday mini-goal update

Angela, who usually posts this is hopefully taking it easy right now and resting after quite the night, and I was just back to being excited again about working hard on my goal.  I am not sure if we have a deadline for this goal- but let's make it Labor Day weekend?

My mini goal was to becom 100% accountable for what goes in my mouth.  I have been using fitday.com on a daily basis and logging everything- good and bad.  I thought I was being pretty good- but come to find out-  I am eating too many carbs!!  The carbs I have been eating are parts of other foods- not pasta or rice or anything like that.  I was really surprised to find this out.  I am adjusting my diet to eliminate these.  I have also been faithfully, daily- using the treadmill for at least a 1/2 hour.

I am down 4 pounds since I last weighed myself (probably 2 weeks ago) and feel good about my progress.  I think it is a HUGE help to see in black and white, a breakdown of what I am eating.  It was a slap in the head and also makes me think twice before I eat anything.

I will be seeing Dr Roye again on Friday, and hopefully a fill!!

How are you doing on your mini-goals??

Hello!

Thanks for the mini-goal reminder! I'm sure Angela will be up and runnin' and posting Mini-goal Mondays again soon!

My mini-goal has been set for Labor Day weekend as well. I'm 221 lbs and would like to be 199 by August 30th (our 9th Annual Labor Day Picnic - - - You're all invited!)

I know it's 22 pounds in about 7 weeks but so far, I've lost 44 pounds and I'm almost 7 weeks out. Who knows!

You're doing great, Beth! I'm sure Dr Roye will be very happy with your progress! You look fantastic!

Beth - thanks for the reminder - I'm afraid my first week wasn't successful at attaining my mini goal   But - I did have good reason - my mom had her hip replaced on the 2nd - last week I took vacation from work to help her.  So when I wasn't at her house helping her, I was at mine getting my house in order.  I guess the stairs I went up and down all day at both houses count for something?

I'll be working harder at my mini goal this week

ps - congrats beth and julie on your progress - I love the web site you mentioned for keeping food journal - thanks!

That is the great thing about mini-goals and updates.  It gives us the chance to get back on track and not beat ourselves up over it.  As long as we jump back in with both feet before too much damage occurs- we are doing good!!  Also- running up and down stairs, getting TWO houses in order and taking care of TWO families- absolutely counts as double exercise! 

Hope your mom is doing well!

Thanks Alexia!! I will be back up and you guys are going to become sick of me again soon. I'm going to have a lot more time on my hands very soon so things will be more like old times.
You're all doing great!
I havent made a mini-goal this time yet, but I will! I'll have one posted by Monday.

trust me- we won't be sick of you!!  Hope that doesn;t mean bad news on the job front??

I have never posted a mini goal and now is the time!

I bought some XL tops on clearance a few weeks ago. They were extremely tight, but i figured they will fit eventually. I want to be able to fit into those tops comfortably by labor day weekend... Just in time to go back to school!

FOUR POUNDS!  YAH, BETH!    I am going to try to follow your example with the fit.day.  I'm trying to use this summer to break old habits and make new ones and so far, it's going ehhhhh....in Italian we say:  Mezze Mezze.  Your family outing sound great!  You're a good mom and setting great examples for you children!  Hugs, Jules

Congrats on the 4lbs!!!
