Back On Track Together
August Goals - Second week - please report.. - or join us...
I did OK, not as good as I hoped, but not as bad as I could have done.
Remember – you are only accountable to yourself and not to me or any of us on the board. The goals allow me to write down what I want to do and then be accountable to MYSELF to do that. It allows me to find areas that I am not perfect – identify them – put them in writing (o – so painful) and then work on them. They are not my “problems" but my ongoing “projects".
And if I do not do as good as I wish on them – I can work on them the next week, and the week after.
Keep yourself accountable. And remember - the care package to all one person (or 2 ??? ) who post...

My goals were as follow:
1. Maintain my weight –
2. Yoga and walking and other exercise – Yoga - min 4 times a week, walk – min 1 mile per day average – can be done in one day a week – or 1 miles a day – but only brisk walking count (no mall, shopping, or like that counts – that is a bonus)
3. Healthy eating – no artificial sweeteners, no “junk food" a lot of vegetables and proteins, and some fruits.
How did do?
1. My weight is up one1 lb – and 0.5 lb above my range - but I have been eating a lot of fiber yesterday so I think I am full of… s*** we will know tomorrow. Need to watch that.
2. I went to Yoga 4 times last week but none on the weekend. Not so good.
I walked on Friday and Saturday – TOTAL 7 miles. So my goal – 1 mile a day on average… is OK.
3. Healthy eating - did OK most of the time – but – bought and ate NSA fudgesicles (my trigger food) and drank too much alcohol last week and weekend.
So this week changed my amended goals: I will make it more specific – measurable.
So I can see what I can follow –and what area I still need to work on.
1. Maintain my weight – and make sure I drop to within my weight goal -
2. Yoga and walking and other exercise –
· Yoga - min 4 times a week,
· Walk – min 1 mile per day average – can be done in one day a week – or 1 miles a day – but only brisk walking count (no mall, shopping, or like that counts – that is a bonus)
3. Healthy eating –
a. no artificial sweeteners, - none
b. no “junk food" - including the fudgesickles.
c. a lot of vegetables and proteins: based on my meals – proteins +
d. some fruits – 2 serving of fruits a day
e. No Alcohol.
f. Limit coffee to 1 a day.

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 even on 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 At least 2 strength sessions per week, 3 is rock star!
6. Protien only for breakfast
7. No more 10pm dinners! (my significant other likes to eat late dinners - I've got to let him know that doesn't work for me)
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.
Most of these goals are things I've been getting better at, but I need to really make them habits!
great goals
BTW: when i was married - I needed the 15 min...
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.
So - I use the bathroom. Got a small player in there - put my music on, and got a bath. And when I did not - I pretended to have a bath - or really bad BM... lol. My ex left me alone... (after a few "serious discussions").
When he didn't get the point "I am in the bathroom - leave me alone - I got on his nerves - when he was working out one day - asking him to do something for me every 5 min... jar, cat issue, etc... after the 5th time I called him home - he look at me and got it.

I am struggling with the grazing but I am really going to start focusing on it, because I know this is key for me and for my success.
I love it that you posted this, because I can always go back and see what I am suppose to be mindful of this month--in writing.



Sometimes people (read: "men") need to be hit over the head, figuratively of course, before they understand.
