September goals: kind off - second week - it is the 7th

How did you do?  Did you have a good weekend?  How do you track your goals?
make them small - for short term and big - for years from now...

I did OK.  Not too good.  Food was fine, and I did not eat too much or any of the wrong stuff (if any)... but I had too much wine... When it is there -- I will have it after dinner.  And then can't stop... Do not get drak, but it is becoming an every day routine...
I also did not exercise a lot.  But - the reason (excuse... hm hm..) is that i got hormonal implants and they told me to take it easy - and no exercises for 5 days... (but I could have walked....hm hm...).

Well - will do better....

I baked bunch of cookies and no matter how many times i make the recipe - they do turn out differently every time.  I also made some macaroons - and they are WLS friendly - minus the fat (coconut has a lot of fat).  But - once in a while - I can make them... (Nik from RNY forum posted the recipe)

So - my goals are very similar to the August goals... - actually they are the same... but instead of limiting alcohol - I need to eliminate it.  That's it.

Post how you did so far and what's for this week for you...

 

I'm new here but ready to kick it in the butt!!
my goals for September are to lose 10lbs!  get exercise daily and get all my water in.

i have made very poor choices over the last year and I'm so ready to get the rest of this weight off!

45 lbs to go in 10lb increments!  I CAN DO THIS!!

Goals for September is:
 
1. Follow closely the guidelines set out in the class I am taking starting tonight.  It is a telephone class designed specifically for WLS patients.  I am very excited too. 

2. Lose 7 pounds by October 1st. 

3.  Continue to work on night time grazing and weekend grazing.  I am really good on work days while at work. 

Everyone have a good month!!!

I am getting back on track, so my goals are starting out small.  I don't want to start out so big I fail right away then give up. I know I can do this so I will increase them with time.


1.  Don't drink with meals
2.  Get all of my water in.
3.  Plan my meals
4. Write everthing down that goes in my mouth

These are my main goals.  I will be adding more exercising when this are accoplished.
It is one day at a time...

Well, my long weekend did not go as planned.  I was waiting to start the
5 day pouch on this coming Monday, but I'm not waiting!  I'm starting on Friday!!!  I'll make up a few different batches of protein drinks and take them up with me to the cottage.  Between  the protein drinks and soups, I should be able to get through this weekend. 
So that's my goal, I'm starting the liquids on Friday!  And I'm sticking to it!!!

I would like to set an exercise goal, but the swelling I experience from my PS (5 months post op!! Come ON!) holds me back. So for that, instead of my usual 5 days per week I'm gonna aim for 3 and see how the swelling goes.

Food wise I am on track; however, I need to investigate some new snacks since I am getting tired of my tried and true Kashi with nuts. Suggestions?

I just want to maintain what I've been doing the last 4 weeks and see where that takes me.

I am going to try to lose 5 pounds this month and stay on track and continue to cut back on night time eating.  My calories in the day are too much, but I am having trouble with fruits and veggies causing bloat and bad gas, so it is difficult and my sweet tooth sends me to the sugar free puddings and such, which wouldn't be so bad, except I usually want more than one! Eek!  I did badly over the holiday weekend.  PM**** and the carb monster took control so I made some really poor choices.  It is never as good as one thinks it will be when eating the rotten forbidden fruit (read bread - cereal, etc.)  So why do I repeat that bad habit even now?  If I knew I would certainly stop it.  It is like some weird form of insanity.  I really, really want to start losing again. 

I'm a little late posting for the month, but here's what I'm working on. . . the list is the same as last month, but I think it's a good list to keep for now.

One other thing I want to throw out there - I know I need to stop eating sugar.  It's not on the list because it scares the beegeebers out of me, but I know that if I'm going to be successful sugar has to go. 

1. only water if I wake in the middle of the night
2. Continue to write down everything I eat even on the bad days and the weekends!
3. One yoga per week
4. No less than 3 Cardio sessions per week, prefer 4, 5 -6 is rock star!
5. No less than 2 strength sessions per week, 3 is rock star!
6. Protien only for breakfast
7. No more late night dinners
8. This one just may be the most difficult - find 15 min a day to be by myself to meditate or read or do whatever I want. (doing well at this; I take time during my lunch hour at work to sit quietly)

Good luck everyone!
