Your plan looks great. The best of luck to you.

Keep smiling -

Ok, so its friday morning.

Did I get up at 6:45 this morning. YES. I did.

Used to do it all the time but fell into some bad habits last summer and haven't gotten otu of them.

This week end is a big week end. i have a beach Ultimate frisbee tournament to go to. LOTS OF EXERCISE THERE!

Monday is the start of my project/goal listed above. Hoping I go through with this. I'm really tired of failing everytime.

NB, you're off to a great start on your goals! :up: AND IMO WE NEVER FAIL WHEN SO LONG AS WE ARE STILL TRYIN' ... and you are still tryin' ... so you're already a roarin' success and ya don't even have to hope you go through with it 'cause you're already there!!! WTG!!! :cheer:

Someone once told me that the difference between success and failure is maybe something like one second ... that success comes ONE SECOND after we make the decision not to give up. :D

Enjoy your frisbee tourney ... sounds fun.

6:45AM... you are a much better person than I .. :laugh:

I am working on that too actually.. but slow baby steps since I'm in college, all last semester, I went out til 3am and woke up at like 11am. ICK.. I hate wasting the day away!

I will be FORCED to join you in your early mornings once classes start up again, this lucky girl has class @ 8am.

Anyway, I love your plan and especially how you have different things going on each day so you are sure not to get bored!

You will see results in no time! Just know that everyone stumbles and trips, but it's getting back up and making up for it that really counts.

Much love and support to you!

Well, its monday and off to the new start.

I was going to lie and say I got up at the right time and ate a good breakfast but I realised that lying isn't the answer either now is it.

So...honestly...I got up at the very last minute and opted for Mcdonald's breakfast. The only good news/salvation is that instead of having two Mcmuffins, I had one.

Good news though, I did bring snack to work and I did also bring my lunch to work so I went be going out for fast food for lunch.

I didn't do my sit ups and I didn't do my push ups.

Tonight, i'm going to run some drills...

Tomorrow...I really want to get up early and have a good breakfast...at home...and do my exercise and continue with my day.

In other news, the tennants in the downstairs appartment I own announced they are leaving end of august...so, I have to find somone to move in. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Well, the good news, no fast food monday and no fast food today.

Oh wait, I did have fast food yesterday. Mcdonald's for breakfast. Crap.

Well, not this morning. I had a muffin for breakfast. Not the worlds largest breakfast but its not fast food.

I didn't do my sit ups and push ups this morning cause I got up late.

I have this problem, where i wake up before my alarm, barely concious but concious enough to tell myself I want more sleep, so I set my alarm for a later time...damn it!!!

I was going to go out and run some drills yesterday, but it was pouring rain so no exercise for me last night.

Wow, I'm not off to a great start am I!?!?

Keep trying. Don't quit. Every day, actually every moment, gives us the opportunity to begin again. And beginning again, not quitting, is the key to success.

Ok, so last night I was a little panicky.

Weighed myself at 207lbs last night. I usually weigh myself in the mornings, but once in a while I weigh myself at night and when I'm the same weight or close I feel good about myself. For me 4lbs higher was alot to make me feel fat. Especially since My highest weight was 210 last summer, then I went down to 200 for the first time in years...then I was down to 193 for the first time in like four years. and I stayed there for a while....but have climbed up to 197lbs recently....and now I'm over 200lbs consistently and I don't like that.

So, no fast food yesterday.
None today either.
Muffin, granola bar, crackers for snacks. Lots of water

Brought Veggies (that I will steam for lunch).

Not sure on supper yet.

I realised something.

You know when you watch a movie and a guy (or a girl) is training for something or to lose weight....the show him exercising...over and oveer again and doing alll this healthy eating or what not...and he gets in shape over the span of several months. but in the show or movie this is just five minutes. Now I know tha I can't get in shape in five minutes...but in my head, I feel like it doesn't go fast enough eventhough I understand that this is a lenghthy process. I feel like i don't get results....

Alright...so, I got up at 7a.m. today..eventhough I only work at 9:30. Felt so rested. Had a good big breakfast. (french toasts). Did my sit ups, did my push ups.

had a muffin for a morning snack. Little later a granola bar. On glass # 2 of water.

Brought my lunch. (not the worlds healthiest...Pizza pops...but, its not fast food) and have another muffin for an afternoon snack.

tonight I have a frisbee practice so lots of running there.


I did good today. :) real good.
