Morning all. Hope everyone had a good week last week. Mine didn't start off to well last week and because of that I wasn't (and still am not) sleeping well or eating correctly. I don't like the fact I was yelled at and am being faulted for something that was not in my control to begin with. Its just really upsetting. Hopefully tomorrow everything will be worked out and I continue with my normal routine. *fingers crossed*

This weeks goals
1. Watch my junk food intake
2. Don't snack just because (I have been snacking so much I feel like garbage and its turning into a downward spiral)
3. Take some me time and get my life back in order

    Stormi: I'm sorry that people are blaming you for things out of your control. When this happens to me, I just try and take myself out of the situation mentally. I know that's difficult, but I hope it helps.

    This week my goals are
    • I will actually eat my meal plan this week, instead of making it and then going out with my friends
    • Lunchtime walkies every day
    • Get a jog in at least twice

    Stormi, Chin up girl, this too will pass.

    This weeks goals is to get water in, it is raining outside so yucky day, But I will water my body.
    I will do my workouts daily.

    Next Friday May 8th I am scheduled for an arm lift. I am excited yet nervous. The surgeon said I have about 3 pounds of arm weight that will be removed. Right now I am 8 pounds from My weight goal so that will help.
    I won't be working out for a few weeks and that is making me crazy, but I can walk and walk I will!!

    Stormi, I hope your week goes better.



    These were my goals last week and I am super excited that i accomplished almost all of them. I was half a mile shy of the 18 mile mark but other than that i did it all. I feel amazing having had no sweets this last week. I lost three pounds. It was a good and productive week.
    1)walking/running 18 miles
    2)staying at or under my calories everyday
    3)actually see the number on the scale go down this week instead of up like it has been doing
    4) Lay off sweets (I.e. cookies, candy, cake,soda, ice cream) I have gone way overboard the last several weeks so I just need to give it a rest.


    Now my goal for this week.
    1) walking /running 18 miles
    2) staying at or under my calories
    3) eat more fruits and veggies
    4) still stay clear of the sweets
    5)make at least one run,hopefully more, outside and not all on the treadmill.

    So sorry, SilverStormi.

    I had a rotten week last week too, and melted down due to stress. I'm hoping to make it impetus to finally get back on track. It's scary to realize how much that tendency to emotional/stress eating is still there, especially when I don't sleep.

    My goals:

    (1) Really focus on trying to at least get to bed at a more reasonable hour and track my sleep.
    (2) Get some kind of workout in/be active, but don't beat myself up if I can't get to everything.
    (3) Use my blog, even if it's nothing interesting to anyone but myself, as I was doing much better last year when I was journaling and I think it will be a good way to force some mindfulness and better understand what's working and what's not.
    (4) Stick with my new calorie limit (I finally decided to drop down 100 calories).
    (5) Because I was sick on Thursday and Friday and super stressed about work this weekend I changed my half marathon from last Saturday to this coming one, so I plan to go all out (and stop feeling ridiculously guilty and embarrassed about doing this).

    This is my mental view of the person yelling at me. Some how it brings a little humor into picture.

    This is my mental picture of the lead tech yelling at me this past weekend.

    SilverStormi, hope you are having a better week.
    Well, I just put on my new pants size 8's and they are a bit big. Not too big just loose in waist.

    I really need to keep drinking water it helps so much.

    (1) Didn't do this, and really need to. Main goal this week.
    (2) Did okay.
    (3) Created a spreadsheet/journal and did that instead. Extremely helpful.
    (4) Not so great--ate around maintenance, but I think the goal is the right one and will try to stick to it this week.
    (5) Did this! Made it in 2:04:56, which just barely beat my goal of under 2:05.

    I lost one pound. I owe my weight loss to our side challenge. I purchase another pedometer so I could track mileage.
