SLEEVIN' & ACHIEVIN' - Our Personal Goals & Check-In for Mar14/11

Good Morning Linda!

Good to see you my friend!  Good luck with the really low carb.  The scale 'always' rewards me when I do that.  I hope it is good to you as well!

I hope today is the day you get a bit of exercise in, even if it is just for a short time.  Good luck!

I know you and Ms. Shell really fluctuate in weight due to salt, and water weight.  If I recall, I 'was' pretty stable before Christmas, and I so look forward to getting back to that stability...  I think it is doable in my case, if not no worries, I will fluctuate within an acceptable range...

hmmm interesting plan with the one protien day.  I think it is neat how we all have to maintian a bit differently to acheive what works for us.  I love it!

I hope you have a fabulous day and evening my dear,

Cindy

Wow are you ever having a good day!  Good for you Donna!  I love it!  I am so proud of you honey.  You will be below 195 before you know it.

It looks like you are very focused, and making plans to suceed with your eating.  It takes work, but it is so worth it.

I too am having a good day and looking forward to several in a row.  Once I get going I will be good to go for awhile.

Hang tough this evening, hopefully you have planned a healthy dinner and some healthy snacks for tonight.  I know evenings can be hard for a lot of us.  PLAN, Plan Plan!!

Big hugs to you my sweet friend,

Cindy

I LOVE ALL OF US.  This is just a wonderfully positive place to be,and I know that I can succeed because of the extra will and encouragement I get here.

It's been an exceptionally rough day at work, but I popped on here to watch everyone's progress everytime I needed to exhale.  It keeps me going and away from bad foods or habits.

Theresa

Hi Theresa,

I am so glad you see it this way, so do I.  And I also keep popping back in here to update my day, read what others are up to and make comments.  It motivates the heck out of me as well!

It is the tough days that will show our true character and determination.  Plan really well for this evening, you are going to 'feel' you deserve a reward.  Your best reward is getting to goal.  Plan a nice delicious healthy snack, that will not sabotage your efforts from today.

Big hugs and good luck this evening,

Cindy
