I think I'm ready to get back to focusing on weight loss again (I hope).
Based on what was screwing me up last week, my goals are (1) to get back to a consistent workout schedule (with morning workouts), (2) to try eating breakfast after my workout to see how that feels and also to try having a post-workout meal or snack consistently for any subsequent workouts, (3) to get enough sleep, (4) plan ahead for lunches (last week my planning in general was terrible), (5) to have no unplanned snacking outside of meals, and (6) to attempt to log restaurant meals better than I have been (as there will be one or two at the end of the week based on pre-existing plans).
To tell on myself, I couldn't (or didn't want to) sleep last night and then ended up eating a couple of protein bars (which I really did not need) really late after I'd closed my diary. I should log them, but it's not like I have a good calorie record at the moment in that I just skipped a week and a half of logging and then made only the roughest estimate for my multiple restaurant meals this past week, so I'm not going to bother, but just think of today/this week as a fresh start. (A fresh start where I can see I was sabotaging myself somewhat, as I ended up oversleeping and not getting in the first thing in the morning workout, although I can still work out at lunch time, am tired, and managed to forget the lunch I'd made to bring to work, sigh.)
One thing I did this weekend was use the fact I knew I'd just log a large number for my restaurant meal to allow myself to be sloppier in logging the rest of the day.

After last week I think Im slowly getting into a rhythm with this new job, my volunteering and getting my normal housework done. Let see how well this week goes although Im pretty sure that I will be way under calories both today and Wednesday since I have a dentist appointment both days right after work and it usually takes all night for the Novocain to wear off.
The weather is getting a little warmer and it should be in the mid to high 40's so I want to get in at least to jogs this week. Hopefully my knucklehead will be up for it when I head to the rescue this week. If not I can easily grab one of the other pups there who will be happy to go for a run.
This weeks goals
1. drink 10 glasses of water
2. get to bed by 10pm (daylight savings was killer this morning)
3. log EVERYTHING!
4. Make healthy choices all week so my friends party Saturday I wont feel as guilty about if I treat myself.0 -
I am really excited about the weather. Ours is better too and it's perfect for running outdoors. (Well, a little slushy, but you can't have everything.) ;-)0

Yeah we have a lot of slush here as well. Last Thursday I think it was that we got another 8" on top of the fact that it hasn't been above freezing really at all last month so nothing was melting. So we still have a lot of snow and ice on the ground.
I don't mind the slush as long as there isn't ice under it. I just want to be ready for the 5k Im running Easter morning with a friend. I have my bunny ears and tail all ready for it now I just need to get my body ready...lol0 -
Oh, an Easter race, that's fun. I should see if there are any around here.
I'm doing this St. Patrick's Day race this weekend and yet had blocked out until today that this coming weekend was going to be filled with St. Patrick's Day revelers (which is super annoying here).0 -

If my Fitbit weren't on the blink!
Looks like it's going to be a great day today, and I managed to get actual sleep last night, but still didn't manage the morning work out. Brought lunch, and am seriously thinking about running home this evening--I think I can manage the logistics of it.0 -

I would if I could. Im planning on picking up my new fitbit this weekend to replace my old one which I broke. I somehow managed to break the little metal connection piece that makes contact with the battery in my zip.

I'm going out of town with my grandkids to visit my sister and her family. My goals are:
1. Make healthy food choices.
2. Burn 500 calories per day.
3. Go with the flow.

Yay, did my run home and got inspired to add in a couple of extra miles. Kept it on the slow side and felt good. I'm still undertrained, but that built my confidence that I can enjoy this half on Saturday so long as I keep it slow. It's expected to be perfect running weather too, so fingers crossed!
Now today's/tomorrow's goal is to finally eat that lunch I made on Sunday evening (I brought it yesterday but ended up having to go out for a work thing), try to balance getting in a good workout (weights today) and getting to bed at a reasonable hour, and finally get in a morning workout on Thursday.0 -

I will join you!! I got 10,714 steps in yesterday. I usually aim for 11,000 per day, but I've been slacking!

Gosh i have only managed between 6,000 / 7.000. a day.0 -
So much for running this week. What I thought was just my sinuses acting up I now think is the beginning of a sinus infection (kinda prone to them) and now treating it as such. Hopefully I will be able to get rid of it in the next few days and not have to made a dr appt for this. So trying to run last night did not work. Next week I will run and I think I will have Bentley as my running partner since Rosco has been a stubborn lately.0

Hope it goes away quickly!0
