Morning all. Hope everyone had a good weekend. I ran a 5k yesterday and then had fun running around with my 5yr old nephew later on. Im sore today. Not too bad but enough to be annoying and show me just how lazy I was this winter. Last fall I was able to do this and not be sore. This is an eye opener and good motivation to get back on track.

One of this years new years resolutions was to complete four 5k's this year. I did one yesterday and am signed up for one on June 7th and another in Sept. So I need to figure out one more to check off that resolution. My goal for the June one is to be able to complete it in under 35 minutes. I have two month to trim down my time and I know I can do it.

This weeks main goals:
1. drink at least 8 but aiming for 10 glasses of water a day
2. go for a run 3 days (2 should be easy to get in while at the rescue)
3. preplan my meals and stick to them.
4. No snacking on junk food just because its there (already turned down chocolate cake this morning at work)

    My goal is to drink 6 glasses of water a day and log my food no matter what (trying to stay under my calorie goal consistently too).

    Goals this week: (1) log perfectly (or as close as possible); (2) no more Easter sweets; (3) keep at least one meatless day; (4) workout 6 days; and (5) work on getting at least 6 hours of sleep per night.

    I'm going to try to remember to check in with these at the end of the week.

    My goals this week are to log at least 50 miles of cycling or on the elliptical, drink 1 gallon of water every day, and to improve my logging of food by at least completing my food diary each day (baby steps, haha!).

    Snowdancer--I love your first goal about logging your food even if you go over. I desperately also want to do this! I NEED to do this. I'm going to work on this.
    I also want to:
    Exercise 6 X week, alternating cardio with strength training and ab work.
    There are 21 more days in this month. I WANT a 21 day streak with logging everything.
    Above all, I need to work on some more stress coping skills. The better I can keep a handle on all my stress, the better over all I do.

    amy_kee the best part about exercise is that it helps reduce stress.

    You are so right snowdancer! It's almost better than medicine. I've found that doing cardio relieves more stress for me than strength training. But, a balance with exercise is a must.

    Well i haven't found a new workout. I haven't even tried to look yet. :s But i have done exceptionally well with the rest so i wont beat myself up too much..LOL I think i might just take a few of the things i like and make my own workout routine. Planks, crunches and squats sound good to me.

    Goals for the new week

    1) Do my Stronglifts 5x5 workout three times this week.
    2) Get a least one bike ride (preferably two, but the weather here in Montreal is still pretty hectic)
    3) Stay under calorie goal and no unplanned cheat meals (I will have to plan one this week, though, because I usually have one meal where I share a bottle of wine with my husband)
    4) Plan my meals ahead for the week

    Yeah!! I completed my goals this week (almost). I logged my food each day and did 4 days or my C25K program. I have found a beginners guide for girls lifting heavy weights. I am currently reading the book and hoping I will do my first day today. Do any other girls here lift heavy weights?
