Ok I am here to join in this positive movement as well. Ya Ya!! I feel like we should have some special t-shirts that we wear daily or at least a bracelet to keep us connected to what we are striving for. Why is that we tend to be hardest on ourselves and put ourselves dead last? ENOUGH!!!

1. I will get my daily walks in no matter what the weather is like. I will bundle me and Camden up, the fresh air will do us both good. Plus, Camden will see that Mama is getting healthy and it will be something that he will do as he gets older.

2. I will continue to work my program and get back where I want to be.

3. I will up my water, I know I can easily get 120 oz. a day.

4. I am going to try harder to plan out my days.

5. I will NOT hide from this site! I will come here to get and give the support that we all need and want!!!

What am i gonna do???

first thing i want to do is thank Sue for the slap in the face that i needed. You are soooo right! Enough of the pitty party! Lets get our shit together!

I have not been going to WW meetings. I have been trying to do this from home and apparently it is not working. I will rejoin on Tuesday. I would join sooner but in our small town we only have meetings once a week.

I will journal everyday
I will get my water in everday
I will go to the gym or use my treadmill at least 4 times a week
I will start planning my meals instead of flying by the seat of my pants

Last but not least i promise to be a better buddy to my friends. I want to apologize to all of you for not being the leader that i know i can be!
<3 you guys!

Wow, thanks Sue for starting this.

You girls are all coming up with great ideas to get back on track! Bravo!!

I'm going to give this some serious thought today and come back and post my things tonight. My problem isn't so much with the food - well, it's not my main problem - but with letting myself go and letting people walk all over me. But it does relate to all this. I definitely need to think about my activity level. And my water. Hmm.....food for thought! he...hehe..he.....

What am I going to do? HMMMM.... Well, I will tell you.

I am going to get back into the habit of working out. I will workout at least five times a week. This is crucial to me because I know when I am working out it sets the tone for how I eat. When I am working out, I look at myself as a healthy, fit person and that is how I fuel my body!

I will make healthy food choices. I was told by a person I highly resprect in the healthy industry that the key factor to weight loss is not working out it is what you are putting in your mouth. You can workout for an hour and burn 600 calories. BUT you can walk in your kitchen and in a matter of minutes undo that entire workout. In one meal you can undo an entire weeks worth of working out. So, it is crucial to pay attention to what you are putting into your mouth. (That is not to say you can ignore the workouts because they are beneficial!)

I will weigh in once a week and be held accountable by my support system. I will also support and encouage those people around me who are also trying to lose weight.

I will get rid of the all or nothing mentality. If I mess up at one meal or skip one workout, I will not throw in the towel and abotage my efforts. I will move on and keep going forward to my goal!

Amen Em. You really can undo a whole week with one meal...trust me, I've done it, lol.

ditto on that one ladies!!!

OK....I'm ready.

In regards to my health and weight loss, I will spend the next while (as long as it takes to make them a habit) focusing on:

1. getting my 6 waters in a day.

2. getting to bed at a good time each night, around 10.45, and NOT fretting/thinking once in there!

3. getting at LEAST 3 servings of veggies each day (this is a starting point, I know I need many more servings!)

4. getting some exercise/extra activity in every second day, which I will record in my exercise journal, which I will print up and prepare.


....if anyone else would like to use the exercise journal I came up with, just let me know and I can email it to you. It's an Excel file, it's a chart with ten weeks listed on it, boxes to put the activity and other info in, and places to total up the time and points earned for the week.

your plan sounds great Sarah!

Ok, I debated about posting on this thread because I wasn't ready to do what I needed to do and was afraid I'd end up failing here as bad as Jen's challenge. But, I have to do something. It's out of control... and for a control freak that's bad.

So here's my plan of attack:
1. I am going to start moving alot more. I am going walk when I don't have to and play with my kids
2. I am going to start journaling everything I eat... even if it's bad.
3. I am going to give myself a freaking break... I am a good mom and wife even if they don't always think so.

amen sistah!!!
