I managed a little more than last time, I was flailing all over first time as I didn't know the routine but I did better today, and did more reps, still crumbled at the last ab workout lol!
My long term goal is to do this video from start to finish with proper form!
Anyway,

Recap F 6/9
1) Eat food / snacks that are pre-logged except for supper. Tonight, I am eating at the race's spaghetti supper at Astor Park for carb-loading. No calorie goals for that, I want to be ready to walk 10K at 8 a.m. Sat. = Done
2) Continue to hydrate...race will be warm tomorrow = 12 cups
3) Get race clothes and bib ready...over 15,000 people are registered, event will be so fun! = Ready
4) Get farmers market bags, etc. ready....planning to go after race, need to buy herb plants & produce = Ready
5) Bedtime by 10:15 & TV off = As soon as I write my Sat. goals, off to bed
Just for Sat. 6/10 - will be a jam-packed day
1) Walk in Bellin Run 10K in less than 1:35:42 (my most recent 10K time).
2) After race, buy herbs at farmers market and plant. Maybe go to Schroeder's Flowers, race bib gets a special deal.
3) Middle brother coming to town late afternoon. Plan: Brother, hubby and I will have dinner in restaurant, then go to Celtic Woman concert. My goal: don't eat huge calories just b/c I walked 10K.2 -

Good luck in the Bellin Run! It's so hot and humid today, I hope you and all my other friends running or walking in this today don't get overheated! I haven't made it to the Farmer's market yet this year. Hoping in the next few weeks. I totally forgot about the Celtic Woman concert! Have fun!!! I'll bet it will be awesome!1 -

Good evening everyone! Well it's 9pm here so I think it's a little too late to share some goals for today. Lol. Will list some of the things I did today though.
1. Logged everything
2. Stayed in green in net calories, but went waaay over in my sugar because of a chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie I had for dinner. Lol
3. Had a great day at work!
4. Balanced out at the end of the day
5. Got a whole bunch of "You did great this week" from three different management personnel
6. Battled the afternoon beach traffic on a beautiful afternoon to pick up my meds
7. Took a 4 HOUR nap!!!! Lol
8. Did the dishes
9. Made a smoothie I've been meaning to try for dinner
10. Gonna hang out with the DH for a little while when he gets home from work.
Hope everyone had a great day! I know I did! See everyone in the morning!3 -
Good morning!
Had a great night last night! Stayed up with the DH for a little while before I ended up almost falling asleep on the couch! Lol. Had a decent night sleep, except for the cat waking me up in the middle of the night again. That seems to be a nightly thing now. When the alarm went off, I woke up to the cat sleeping on the DH's chest. He hasn't done that for a while. Reset the alarm and went back to sleep for another half an hour and woke up to the cat laying on my hip(I was sleeping on my side.) He is probably the neediest cat I have ever had.
So here are my goals for the day!
1. Log everything and stay in the green
2. Watch my sugar intake
3. Go to church
4. Finish the dishes
5. Go to the gym
6. Work on some writing/formatting
7. Set up a new account on Kindle
8. Make a yummy, healthy dinner
9. Be in bed by 11pm(I dont work until 12 tomorrow)
Have a great day everyone!2 -

5. Spend some time meal planning for the week
Kinda. Going to the store to buy healthy stuff for the week!
6. Try not to worry or get anxious today. Work on letting go what you cannot control. Perhaps journal?
Failed miserably at this. Spent the day in tears and a constant state of anxiety. Husband got me out of house and that helped.
7. Try to refrain from logging in and working from home today.
8. Write in my "5 things I'm grateful for today" journal before bed tonight
Most important thing for me today is to find a place of peace. So, J4T:
1. Grocery shop for healthy foods for week
2. Hydrate
3. Stay in present and do not worry about future. Cannot control it
4. Do something I enjoy today - read, quilt, bake or go for a walk by the river.
5. Early to bed.
We have some nasty storms moving this way from Minnesota today, hitting here around 1 pm, so need to get outside stuff done in the next few hours before they're here. Husband is taking me to Stein's to buy some hanging plants for outside the house. I love shopping flower shopping. Might try to talk him into a few more bushes for in front of the house while I'm at it.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!1 -
JFT, Saturday
1. late in the day again - lunch with my daughter, and only had 1/2 tuna sandwich from Panera Bread. Went to garden tours in the morning.
2. eat smart tonite at dinner with my daughter for her B-day Went to LongHorn for Dinner -- I ate half of my parmesan chicken and sweet potato, and only had one small piece of ice cream cake. Sent the rest home with my daughter
3. only eat ONE SMALL piece of dairy queen birthday cake -- give the rest to our daughter to take home and get it out of here
4. drink water
Yesterday was a fun day, and I think a good day for my daughter. She and I went our for lunch and went to the book store - bought her some books, then lunch at Panera bread. Her anxiety was high, so we just ate in the car, which was fine. Took her out in the evening for dinner, and she enjoyed that as well.
This morning I weighed myself, and decided I am going to post my weight every sunday. Somehow, I need to get better at trying to lose. All the exercise I am doing, and the scale is barely moving -- which tells me I am still eating too much. As my doctor said, losing weight is 90% eating, and only 10% exercise. So this week, I went in the wrong direction.
Does anyone else want to join me in every sunday posting our weight? Maybe we can encourage each other more that way?
Weight last sunday 199.8
June 11 201.4
Goal for the month of June is to be at 195 --- so I have a ways to go, and need to work harder
SO JFT, Sunday
1. plan meals around healthy stuff
2. go to the store and stock up on healthy, low cal snacks
3. read my response cards
4. eat slowly
5. drink more water
6. lay out gym clothes for tomorrow morning
7. work in the yard today
8. get some sewing done tonite.
9. snack tonite will be cottage cheese instead of popcorn
