? ? ? Monday Vows ? ? ?

Today I vow to: ? Eat fewer than 1000 calories with a minimum of 60 grams protein ? Drink a minimum of 100 oz. of water ? Work out at the gym after work ? Clean my home office!! I fell short on one of yesterday's vows... I didn't get my office cleaned up! I went to spend a short afternoon with my dad in Oxford and time got away and we didn't get back home until late. The rest of my vows I kept --- I had 973 calories, 75 grams of protein, and drank 107 ounces of water. What do you plan to vow this wonderful Monday morning? DeeDee

Mornin' DeeDee, I vow today to drink 64 oz water Give myself a 2 hour nap Eat at least 40 grams of protein (I seriously have an issue here!) Take my potassium 4 times today (the leg cramps are killin' me) Focus and structure, Focus and structure work (I want the weekends off) Thanks for this, I appreciate it.......... Jeannie

WOW.......THANKS DeeDee It's a little after noon and I've done my 40 grams of protein......and 48 oz of water so far.......yipeeee for me - I have the rest of the day to get the rest of the water and any added protein.....I'm kinda' "upchucky" from the protein......but I think it's staying down! Thanks for this thread......this could really help me I'm thinkin'!!! LOL J

I'm so glad to hear it's helping you. Believe me, it helps me a LOT to know I'm committing myself to doing something specific each day. I can be rather competitive so I like completing something I start and this is a great way for me to be held accountable. I look forward to seeing you post every day and staying on your plan! DD

I "VOW" to kick my kids in the butt as they head out the door on their first day back to school!! Just kidding,, I am extatic about this,, but my vow is do 45min on my treadmill and drink aprox 95oz of H20,,, Everyone have a great day,, Christy Lap RNY 316/178/165(used to be 145-but 165 is more realistic for a goal)

Christy, How was the kids' first day back in school? I still find myself a little envious when I watch those excited kids buying school supplies and new clothes/shoes for the school year. I've often thought new year's resolutions should be made in conjunction with school starting back... there's just something fresh and exciting about the new school year. Hope you're doing well on your plan for the day! DD

Good Morning Dee, This morning, I vow to get this house cleaned up after the weekend.. that will be an all day job.... but good news is I think I am back in remission... yeah me.... I also vow to eat less then 1250 calories, Drink my Protein, and TRY to get all my water in..... Hope you had a wonderful weekend....... Love ya Bunches, Me

Morning, I was 1 glass short on my water yesterday, couldn't mow because it rained but picked up the house for about an hour and did spend 20 minutes in office room. Today I vow to- Mow after work- hopefully tan for 15 min and lift weights for 20 at my gym Drink 8 glasses water 20 minutes of organizing that room!!! (It's a long messy project) Just like weight loss goals I realized this morning this room is a slow and steady wins the race kinda thing. Constant effort and commitment and where I always lack is the maintenance. I get it cleaned up but then let it slide. (This is the room where everything that doesn't belong in other rooms migrates too) When will I ever learn just to put it away!! Have a good one all!!! Lucy

Best I remember the turtle won the race and I'm about as slow as they come in this race. And passing up Ben & Jerry's ice cream at Kroger (which I just did). I hope you're well on your way to accomplishing everything you set out to do today! DD

I headed to the office for a meeting this morning and didn't get to respond like I normally do. I hope your home is spotless, your protein is down and you're getting tha****er in. It's always nice to see your smiling pixels in the morning. =) DD
