    Friday goals:
    1. Water. YES
    2. Stay under on calories and eat clean. YES
    3. Don't get tempted into going out after work. DIDNT GET TEMPTED
    4. Get list of jobs done at home after work. The list is posted on my fridge. NO

    I'm so pleased it's the weekend!!!!!!! This week has been horrible but I'm being positive about next week. I've had a relevlation that I need to compartmentalise my life. When I leave work it stays there and I am not to think about it at home. Equally when I'm at work I can't allow myself to stress about things at home. I'm hoping it will work.

    Ended up running last night after work which wasn't planned but the endorphins it created were well worth the sweat!!

    Saturday goals:
    1. Circuits and spinning.
    2. Water.
    3. Get through list of jobs.
    4. Do something fun tonight.

    Hope you all have a great weekend!

    5-6-2011 fitness goals
    1. Water, at least 6 cups - Way short.... Not quite sure what happened.
    2. Under on calories, carbs and fats - Big time! Between not having a whole lot of time to eat and not being hungry when I DID have time, I was ridiculously under, actually.
    3. Take vitamins - Yep
    4. Week 1, Day 3 of Sit-up challenge - No. Forgot about it between work and the baseball game and then was too tired when I got home.
    5. Bed by midnight (or half an hour after I get home tomorrow night, whichever is later) - Bed, maybe; sleep not so much. Was up reading until quarter to 1. :blushing:

    5-6-2011 non-fitness goals
    1. Pick up my grandmother on time - Yep, even a bit early! :smile:
    2. Enjoy the baseball game with my grandma, my mom and my sister (Assuming it's played. They're calling for rain.) - Had a GREAT time! Got a bit wet because it rained for 3 innings or so any my family stubbornly wouldn't move up to the seats under cover and the Pirates lost ( :frown: ) but it was still a lot of fun. :happy:
    3. Deposit paycheck - No.... Thought I was running short on time to get my grandma and then coming home it was raining and no drive up ATMs on my route.
    Kim - Enjoy that week off! Are you going on holiday, or just taking time off?

    Katrob - I'm so glad to see that this challenge is helping you stay focused so much!

    Kathy - To me, it sounds like your job is a pretty good workout all on its own! Frankly, I'm rather impressed that you even go to the trouble of working out before going to work.

    Nam - Best of luck with starting to compartmentalize! It's a great idea, so hopefully you can pull it off. :smile:

    Jessie - I'm so sorry to hear you've been having a migraine for so long. :frown: I hope it's finally gone!

    So now, goals for today..... I was gonna make it a free day, but then I realized I'm not sure what's gonna happen tomorrow, so that might not be the best of ideas. Unfortunately, I've already splurged on breakfast, so that's gonna be interesting to make up. :laugh:

    Goals for Friday:
    1. Get everything at work done so I can enjoy next week guilt free - I did, it took forever!
    2. Choose carefully at dinner tonight but still enjoy it.- No, I worked late so a trip to the cinema and followed by dinner at a seafood place turned into flopping on the sofa with a pizza and a dvd. I was too tired to mind really.:blushing:
    3. Walk at lunch - No lunch break just worked through.

    Good morning all you lovely ladies (and the occasional gent that wonders through)!

    I am off work for the week and I couldn't be happier. I'm not going anywhere I'm going to strip the horrendous textured wall paper:sick: in my living room that has been bothering me every day since I moved in. Not everyone's idea of a good time but its going to make such a difference and I just love painting walls!:laugh: Yup mental. I think its all time I spent putting painting galleries at uni.

    Any way today's goals:
    1. Under on calories
    2. Plenty of water
    3. Some sort of exercise
    4. Finish clearing the living room & get going
    5. Second colour in friends brithday lino print

    Hope you all have a wonderful day!

    Goals for the weekend:
    1. Water!!!--No
    2. Log my foods (even if it's on paper!).--No.
    3. Get my shelves done.--No.
    4. Get the veggies outside.--Yes.

    Well, the shelves didn't get done but the veggies are in their large containers by the back fence and SOME grocery shopping was done. Also got a bunch of weeds pulled.
    Otherwise, it was NOT a good weekend, food- and water-wise. Back to tracking and drinking my water!

    Goals for May 9:
    1. WATER!!!!(I always have a hard time with this outside of work!)
    2. Log my foods--healthy choices and check portion sizes!
    3. Finish the yardwork--reseeding the grass, etc.
    4. Bed by 9:30.

    Have fun with the living room redo, Kim! I like doing stuff like that, too. The only reason the shelves didn't get stained was that I spent more time than I planned working on the yard.
