J4T - Saturday
1. Eat healthy and journal everything. FAIL. Called home from hotel and there was drama going on there and when I hung up, I immediately walked to vending machine and ate a bag of Amos chocolate chip mini cookies.
2. HYDRATE! I am severely lacking in this area and it is affecting how I feel. I did drink a lot of water yesterday but not enough because this morning my fingers feel like little sausages. All swollen. More water today and maybe go swimming again for activity.
3. Pack everything and travel from this hotel to the city I'm working in next week. I cannot wait to be done and go home! All settled in at new hotel in different town. Nice cozy little room. Like this one much better than last week's.
4. Get some activity in. Got more than normal number of steps in and also did laps in swimming pool for 20 minutes. Took stairs up and down rather than elevator many times yesterday also.
5. Relax and get some rest tonight. Well, I tried to relax, but then I called home and got involved in the drama. Was up pretty late trying to get to sleep. I really HATE drama.
6. Gratitude journal and read a few more chapters in my book. See above. nope.
7. Try not to let myself feel anxious or stressed about next week. It will all be fine. I'm good at my job and have nothing to worry about! Not stressed about work. Just stressed about home.
Well, talked to everyone at home this morning and things have settled down, so I can relax a little I think. Today, I need to find a laundromat and get some clothes washed for the week. I am also planning to do a bit of shopping and get outside of this hotel room. The temperature is in the 40's today, and I can see out my window that the sun is out and snow is melting a bit!
J4T - Sunday
1. Shop for healthy snacks and make healthy choices today. No sugary crap!
2. HYDRATE! There are other things to drink besides coffee!
3. Do laundry.
4. Go shopping to kill some time. Perhaps find a new sweater to wear to work tomorrow.
5. Either go swimming and do laps or use the equipment in exercise room to get some activity in!
6. Use stairs instead of elevator as much as possible today.
7. Check out the job site so I know where I'm going tomorrow and what to expect.
8. Catch up on some work emails so I don't start the work week stressed out.
9. Set out my clothes and work materials tonight so I'm not scrambling tomorrow morning.
10. Bed early so I can relax and watch The Walking Dead. (Yea!!!)
Well, if I'm going to get all this in, I'd better get my butt in gear! Have a fantastic day everyone!
February Goals- Lose 2 lbs

Monday:
Aim for staying within 100 calories of the goal - Fail again. I guessed on Dinner. My daughter made it. Could've been under, could've been over. Heck, for all I know, I hit the target exactly. But that's life.
Focus at work. I only work 4 days this week, have to make each one count. - Ha! I started being able to focus about 2 hours before I left. Today should be better though.
Tuesday:
Record everything to the best of my ability, but no specific goals today. I already know that chocolates and a restaurant dinner are in the cards. Just don't know quantity or type.
Live a little
Get crap done
