Looks like you're doing great, keep it up!

I did pretty well yesterday. I mostly ate turkey, but I had a little bit of mashed potatoes and one slice of pumpkin pie. No soda, yay!

This week ended up much better. I made paleo roast chicken and it was super easy. I used it for lunch and dinner in various salads and meals all week. Having food prepped made my week a lot smoother. I'm also doing much better on my sleep and working out goals. Thanks, accountabillibuddies! You guys rock!

Thanks! Picturing Luna giving me advice is making everything better.

Okay I mentioned this in my thread, but I am really struggling so far. School is taking a toll and I am dangerously addicted to caffeine. I didn't lift once this week yet and I won't be able to until tomorrow because I'm working late. I have been walking every day though, partially because my car broke down. So much fail, argh. I'm frustrated and mad at myself So, I need to step it up. Step 1) I need to prep food for the week between tomorrow and the next day because I get crazy busy. If anyone has any awesome recipes that can be frozen or cooked in the slow-cooker, send them my way. I'll let you guys know what I try so that I feel more of an obligation to accomplish this. Step 2) I need to come up with a plan for Thanksgiving. I'm bringing some sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts to the gathering, so there will be some healthy stuff there. Step 3) I need to sleep. I need to turn off all of my devices at 9 p.m. so that my brain knows it's time to sleep. Also, I've been having anxiety nightmares like the ones I imagine Hermione Granger has where I fail all of my classes or I miss a test or I've been enrolled in a class that I didn't know about. This is not providing me with restful sleep. Step 4) I need to get my ass up and go to the gym first thing in the morning. Which will be easier to accomplish after Step 3 has been achieved. Sorry for the long update, but I kind of dropped off of the face of the earth due to some particularly nasty exams. I'm sorry I let you guys down

Hey thanks for checking in. The Go/No-go is the only goal that I am doing well at. I have had 3 no-go meals so far. Other than that, I am off to a completely terrible start. I got really caught up in midterms this week (which are now over, phew) and only went to bed at 10 on Monday. I have walked but I haven't made it to the gym because my car broke down (I'm towing it in to be fixed tomorrow morning). Yesterday my laptop, which I love more than almost anything in the world, went INSANE and now doesn't work. Add all of that stress to the guilt I feel about not doing well on my sleep/lifting goals and I am not in a good place right now. I need to turn it around, and fast.

Hey all, sweet team name! I have felt super tired all day today but I still did my 20 minutes of walking. I was too tired to cook good stuff so I had two epic salads today for lunch and dinner, and a little bit of melon for a snack. Right now there are snickerdoodles on my desk that were left by a sabotaging co-worker. I'm waiting for him to leave so I can move them to a distant location. Planning on doing some push-ups at work after everyone else leaves.

It's in the top right hand corner under "Thread Tools".

I had been trying to figure out how I want to grade the actual quality of meals. I am going to steal Kylie's grading system, kthx.

Smart! I'm going to set those alarms. My problem is that I tend to be goofing off on the internet when I should be asleep. I will leave the laptop on my desk and not take it with me.

Hi, accountabilibuddy! I really like your friendship goal. I'm very shy so this is something I'd like to consider for the future. Good on ya.

Hi accountabilibuddy! Great goals, you can do it! I'm trying to figure out where I'm starting so that I can join your PVP.

Hi, accountabilibuddy Your goals are smart. There is a McDonalds one block away from me and I default there a bit too much as well. Walking in the mornings that I don't lift sounds like it could be nice. I need to clear my head before school so I can improve my focus. You've got this!

We are Accountabilibuddies! Like I told your husband, your house is going to look so awesome! I will also be studying my face off, and I don't get done until Dec. 15th. Congrats on the Warrior Dash.

Hi, Accountabilibuddy! Your goals are fantastic. I love that you kept it super specific but still left room for some variety. Rock those push-ups!
