My goal this week is to focus on eating right, specifically limiting carbs! I'm glad that out gym classes resume normal schedule so I will be training hard and also want to get some beach time in, esp a swim or two as I have a race next Sunday.

My goal this week is to get enough protein in my diet and rest.

Our resident crazy has gone off the deep end again. Yesterday I left after working all day part with her only to get a call to come back as she was ill and I had to take care of everything. I told them it was going to be overtime and they said whatever just come back and deal with this. Today I have worked and am going back to work her shift. She is a wack a doodle.

thank goodness I have you guys to vent too. LOL

My goal this week is to limit my calorie intake to around 1200 calories a day (that's what I calculated to loose a lb or so a week and get to the gym at least 5 days this week.

LOL @NewOR2015 Well the update on the whack a doodle is she is in the hospital due to constipation. Now we know this as she posted this to her facebook page and is friends with my boss. I don't do facebook. Now how do you get admitted to a hospital for such an ailment well your Mom is on the board so they get admitted for anything they want.

So yesterday I was very proud of myself I got up exercised before my shift came home ate did laundry then went back and did her shift. Yep more overtime.

Today I'm going to exercise and just relax til I go into work. I told them if she calls in I would just work alone and I could get all the work done. I have been training a new woman she isn't very stable either, she's out there. I just want to work by myself for a while. LOL

OMG too much info if you ask me I hope my boss doesn't get pictures I already feel doomed cause if she does come into work she will share every detail with me. I may have to lie and say I have a headache and need it to be quiet. LOL

Glad to be back to a normal routine this week. My goal is to exercise; to do "something" for at least 5 of the 6 days left in the week. Trying to build new habits.

I'm home. The usual 6 hour drive from my mom's house to mine took 9 hours today. I guess I wasn't the only one coming home. I go back to work tomorrow (tutoring at elementary school). Finally, a normal routine day. And with no wacko constipated colleagues I should be fine. My goal will be to stay on track with food and walk a couple of miles at the middle school track near my house.

You know how I just dragged my *kitten* through Dec with seeing the light at the end of the tunnel to going back to a normal life. Well NOPE now it's her gall bladder and she will be out at least 2 weeks. So I guess I'm just going to focus on rest exercising when I can and eating healthy. I'm not going to focus on weight loss till this is over.

Thanks @JMarcella57

@2020pinktogo - LOL!!!!! You gave me a good laugh this afternoon.

@2020pinktogo Yes, take care of yourself. You don't want to turn into the wacko one.

@option3girl Steady and consistent is good. Sometimes things happen though, but just jump back on track and you'll be fine.

Yesterday, I did no exercise because of all the driving. Today, nice weather for a 90 minute walk after work. Truly enjoyed it!

My bucket list is pretty short right now. It may seem a little silly, but there are those few things I've wanted to do but just haven't.
1. Let my hair grow long again.
It thin and fine and probably won't look good long. But when I was in my middle 20s I cut it for a more professional business look and always regretted it. Right now, it's the longest it's been in years. (Only down to my shoulders in the back.) I'm going to let it go for as long as I can stand it.
2. Walk to the top of the small mountain in our neighborhood.
It's just one of those things that's bugged me since we moved to the bottom of the hill (it's technically called a mountain) about 15 years ago. At first, I was just really busy and not into walking. Then I was overweight and out of shape and it was just too painful to get to the top. (The actual crest is a neighborhood over, but our neighborhood crest is close to the top.) Now, I'm ready. For the most part, I think I've created a block in my brain over time. My sons have convinced me it isn't as bad as I'm making it out to be. Within the next couple of weeks, I intend to find out!

@MrsVelapanur - Hope you're feeling better quickly.

Today was rest day and I was doing fine on eating choices until I went out with friends. I ordered fine but then finished what my friend couldn't (half a brownie and all the ice cream). Oh well, tomorrow is a new day which involves early morning fitness and bjj open mat...
