Ok this is mid week but I really started on Monday so I will set my goals from Monday

I am going to turn 40 this may and I am 5,4 - 156 my goal is 132 for but 125 would be absolutely amazing:) .... my mini goal is 140 by 2/5

So my target for this week is
35 km run per week ( I done 6.5 on Tuesday and 21km today )
2 litre of water a day (water with lime and ginger)
5 meals a day no snacking

    Wow, that's 21 miles! Are you training for an event?

    I need to go to the YMCA at least 3 days a week. That's to justify to myself what I spend for the membership! Anyway, I walk on the treadmill for 40 minutes and watch an episode of something on Netflix. It's what I'd do at home, except I'm averaging 3.5 mph, instead of sitting on my bed!

    My biggest goals for this week is to log everyday and drink at least 8 cups of water. I barely drink water and I know that's terrible lol

    I'm doing the Chicago marathon in October, but might do Flying Pig (in Cincinnati in May) before -- might end up doing the half marathon instead since I've been having some setbacks, but I am hoping all will go smoothly and I will manage, even though I won't be aiming for any personal time goals for that one. (I've done 2 before also.) I think it's wonderful that you would do it for cancer research in your mother's name, and am so sorry about her death.

    My goals this week are also running-related -- to hit all of my planned workouts -- as well as no unplanned snacking.

    I really need to get back into drinking water . I stopped as I work in locations that make it near impossible to run to the bathroom. Like when I am in drive thru you can't just say be back in a jiffy. Nope it doesn't work. You come back to people staring at you giving you the eye of where the H_ll did you go?

    I work at Dunkin and I know exactly what you mean. Luckily my co workers are awesome and cover my spot for me so I can use the bathroom when needed. I'm trying to make the habit to drink water instead of coffee. So far it's working

    Lol I work in a bank people get feisty when there is no teller in the window and our bathroom is in the basement. It's literally a run and a few flights of stairs. Lol. When I am inside on the line it's easier to go. This week I am at the branch office I bought myself diet coke to get through the week. The bathroom is closer though in fact it's a newer office no basement. Lol
