Goals for May and week of May 3rd.

My goal this week is eat more veggies and less carbs and continue with protein 1st.  I also want to continue with my exercising 5 or more days per week. Absolutely no fast foods this week

My May goal is to lose 8 pounds. To make this happen I have to be more mindful of my food choices, meaning make healthier food choices most days and keep exercise steady.  I will be visiting my very 1st TOPS meeting this week also. 

In the month of April I exercised 5 days for 2 weeks and 6 days the other 2 weeks and did not lose a pound for the month.  I did maintain so I am happy no overall gain and I am still down 8 pounds since vowing to get back on track in March. 

I am also very proud that
I made it back to the health club in April finally after not going there in over a year.  1st day back was April 22nd. I was glad to see old faces and they welcomed me back without too many questions and once I went back that 1st day it was like I had never stopped.  Of course my body said otherwise! lol!   It is a good pain though. The 1st day broke the ice for me and I was back on gear.  The machines work better than anything I can do at home, especially when it comes to strenght training.  
Goal regarding gym is to get there at least 3 days a week. 

Enough about me, does anyone want to share their goals for the week and/or month? It helps putting it in writing. What about your successes for the month of April?   Sharing helps us who need some inspiration.   Have a good week!!

My goals are ongoing.  I gained 10 lbs - and I want to lose that.  The weight is OK, and i am still size 6, but I do not like myself at this weight.  I can feel the extra fat.  And I am getting "flabby".
i do not exercise much and it shows.  I need to change that.
also - last 2 months I was drinking too much.  Way to much.  I think my hormones are off - I know they are - so now I start normalizing my hormones and hopefully the need for alcohol will go away.  One day at a time.  The problem is that I really like red wine. I like the taste of it - but I do not like getting drunk.  And it does not take much.  So - I tried and bought a alcohol free wine - and I really liked it - until my BS dropped.  Unfortunately - the alcohol free wine has too much sugar and with reactive hypoglycemia - it is a big no-no for me.  So - I will need not to have any...bummer. 
Why did I started drinking - well - I was having problem with pain after eating - and I noticed that if I sip wine or any other alcohol - the cramps stopped.  Not much was needed.  lol.  But then - not much was needed to feel intoxicated.  That part I did not like. 
So - the next 1-2 months goals:
1. stop drinking
2. loose 10 lbs (at least 5)
3. work on my hormones 
4. maintain nice house
5. work on de-cluttering the house (will probably take 3-6 months - I am a pack rat)

I think my goals are doable - just take time and energy.  Since I am giving up drinking and dating - I will have more time in evenings to do other things.
