Nobody started the Monday Morning messag

Deby Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/08/05	2004/08/16, 02:42 PM Nobody started the Monday Morning Goal message and I was going to get in on it this week. So I guess I will, my goals for the week are going to the gym 3 - 4 times, doing cardio and resistance training AND walk for 30 minutes during lunch at least 3 times. Now that my husband is COMPLETELY retired, he has agreed to go to the gym with me at least 3 times every week so that will help my motivation a lot. Also, I think I have finally convinced him that I HAVE to lose 70 pounds (he thinks I am fine just the way I am) because I am not happy with myself and I want to be able to buy clothes that fit even if they are on sale!!!! -------------- Gramma

I ate healthy for the most part, but over the weekend had a typical college feast: pizza and beer. Never realized how much alcohol affected my weight- it has an almost immediate affect on me. So no more!! No pizza, no alcohol, no fast food! I filled my fridge up with healthy food so I need to stick to that.

This week my goal is to walk every day either inside or outside and perform all the exercises on my FT exercise plan. I weigh myself on Mondays...9lb lost, 26lb to go. Then of course I will only have 100lbs left.

We went an activation on Sunday in Ft. Worth, Texas (last place he was stationed), and they just had one here in Houston, Texas also. My prayers will be with your son. Good luck with your weight loss, sounds like you are off to a really good start. -------------- Gramma

However, yesterday we did spend 4 hours at the zoo walking almost constantly, so I think I may break even on this one. Truly though, goals this week are to hit the tredmill 2x, and start adding in my weightlifting 1 or 2x this week as well!

My goals was to find a gym - well, guess what, the gym that was there, that I was so excited to join -- it is no longer open!! So, I guess I will have to buy more equipment and work out at home more...I was looking forward to working out and learning more, hoping the motivation would be going to the gym with my 14 yo, too. Oh well, time to find more motivation elsewhere! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
