Check-in Post for Week of July 6th to July 12th, 2014

Good morning, good morning!

How are you all?!

I am well, I think.

We survived the storm this weekend with nothing more than a garbage can blowing down the parking lot and intermittent internet, so there's that. I was not active in the group last week because I lost my pedometer and couldn't find the stupid thing ANYWHERE! But now that the week has passed, I recovered it from beneath the couch where it went to hide. If it's not one thing, it's another. But such is life...

On to the numbers!

We've traveled 996.7 miles/1604 kilometers and have 23904.85 miles/38471.1 kilometers to go!

This week alone we traveled 130.8 miles/210.5 kilometers!

Woohoo!

I'm setting a couple personal goals for myself this week to not eat shortcut meals (canned, boxed, etc.), to do some form of strength training/calisthenics each day this week, and to be active and engaging on MFP.

What are your goals for the week?

    So I'm not doing too badly on my goals for the week, I think. I have had one shortcut meal so far (perogies & chicken fries), I was late starting my strength training but am now all over it, but I am still struggling with interacting on here. It's hard when I work nights and sleep all day! We have company coming this weekend and then the kids are going away next week, so I'm hoping to be a little more active while they're gone. We'll see!

    How are you doing with your goals for the week?

    Great, thanks! I set 2 targets for the week (run / water), and thus far I'm on track. If you hadn't encouraged us to set extra goals for the week, I'm not sure I actually would have ran. So it was helpful - thank-you!

    Honestly, it's been 50/50. I've been doing better at biking/walking more than my usual set per week (to work and back, normally). However, I've been bombing at not drinking soda, for the most part. I just keep forgetting! Though I did Sobe water at Taco Bell yesterday, rather than coke, and it did help me stay on my goal limit. Just have to find a way to remember not to get it spur of the moment...

    July 10: 1.5 miles walking
    July 11: 1 mile biking
