A good day yesterday. Work went well and it was mostly sunny. Same weather report for today so maybe the rain will move around us again! You could actually see the clouds all around this clear spot in the sky--it was kind of weird--but nice!
Have a nice day, everyone!

Good morning ya all.
I am finally home and hoping to get into the swing of things again today! There is no way to catch up on a weeks worth of stuff so I will just hope that you are all doing well and will try to read through some of the thread later.
Dad looks horrible, my father in law is not well either I found out on Thursday. He has a clogged artery, had a heat stroke and his kidneys have started to fail. UGH. WILL THIS MONTH EVER END?
I have a ton of things to do today but first I am going to eat some breakfast and go to the gym!
Goals
1. GYM
2. Eat decent again for a change. (NO ONE IN MY FAMILY KNOWS WHAT THE WORD HEALTHY MEANS, and my mother, whom I love dearly, gets her feeling hurt if you don't eat what she gives ya....needless to say, I hurt her feelings!)
3. Log what I eat ..... sharing a computer with 3 other people makes me too lazy to care about logging when I have like 3 minutes of computer time
4. WATER.....I am so thirsty for water!!!!! Again, my mother....their water is horrible and I am not even a water snob, so I just didn't drink cause if I brought in bottled water, which I do not drink at home, she would have been even more offended! UGH
5. Be nice to my husband cause I am so just sort of numb from the past few weeks of life and the inevitable with at least my dad, and I normally don't get like this and I am sure the numbness just equals grumpy to him. :grumble: (you may want to pray for him, his name is John! LOL)
P.S. I still haven't eaten MAYO!0 -
1. Workout at the gym. Check
2. Stay around my calorie goal. (Check)
3. Finish my to-do list. (It's a long one today!) (nope)
Good morning everyone!!

Goals for today:
1. Light workout at the gym.
2. Stay around calorie goal and drink all my water.

Tusdays Goals:
1. Under on calories - Yes
2. Water - Yes
3. Walk at lunch & 30 mins of something else – Yes & Yes
4. 30 minutes of house work – Still no!
Morning!
Momma- Sounds like you’re doing really well in face of some fierce odds.
Nicole – Hope you have a lovely holiday!
Leela – Don’t worry, you’ll get back to doing well. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Maybe just set yourself one goal a day for a while, keep it manageable.
Yesterday was a good day, I almost don’t want to say this out loud or put it in writing but it’s getting easier. I’m back to running most nights, and I’ve planned my meals properly so it’s easier to eat well while still keeping it interesting. Touch wood I’m back on track. Famous last words. I’ve only got 6 weeks to my friends wedding and I don’t want to blow all that hard work.
Wednesday’s Goals
1. Under on calories
2. Water, it’s cooler today so waters going to be tougher
3. Exercise: Walk & 30 minutes of something else
4. House work, seriously, I really really need to do some!
Have a lovely day!

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time... Lots of family drama up in my face left me focusing on things other than my health. But, I do have to say I haven't resorted to eating poorly but as far as working out and truly setting goals and sticking with them...nope! Anyway, I'm wanting to get back into things as soon as my knee heals fully. It may not be until beg of August, so I might see you all on that thread.
Anyway, aside from the me me me, I actually came here to congratulate you all for continuing to do so well with setting goals and hitting them. Even if they're not all met I noticed a lot of you are working on your weaknesses instead of dwelling on them and allowing that to get you down. This is what's most inspiring to me, because I tend to allow myself to be hard on myself and instead of using that in my favor (ie a kick *kitten* workout) I sit and sulk... Not a healthy habit. So great job on picking things up where you need improvement and excellent job on motivating each other and supporting! Keep it up

2. Exercise for 15 minutes.--Yes.
3. Track my food and make healthy choices.--Yes and mostly.
I let myself get too tired and slipped a bit on the healthy choices, but it wasn't as bad as it could be. (It would be SO much easier if others kept their 'junk' in their room instead of the main pantry! LOL! I still make the choice, though!)
Momma--Good to see you back. Family can be hard to deal with and mine is much the same. Praying for you and John. Good for you at staying away from the mayo!
Leela and Nicole--Just get here when you can. My schedule will be changing a bit here soon so I know how that can be!
Kim--Try your own advice to Leela-
-pick a household chore and just do that one. (I find that once I get started it's easier to keep going.)
Hang in there, MissC. Let your knee heal and, oh, how well we know family drama!
Have a good day, everyone!

Wednesday’s Goals
1. Under on calories - yes
2. Water, it’s cooler today so waters going to be tougher -Yes
3. Exercise: Walk & 30 minutes of something else –No walk but did do 55minutes of Jillian Michaels
4. House work, seriously, I really really need to do some! – Still no
Hello!
I’m very embarrassed to say I still did no house work. I worked through lunch yesterday so decided to do Jillian Michaels Banish Fat & Boost Metabolism DVD when I got home to make up for the not walking. It totally destroyed me. Afterwards I was so tired I couldn’t cook dinner. I just sat there like a sack of spuds and at the end of the evening I could barely get out of my chair to go to bed! It was crazy. I used to do it fairly regularly but since I’ve been running I haven’t been doing anything DVD’s at home, but I certainly will from now on. Ideally I’ll do 30 day shred and run on the same day.
Thursday’s goals
1. Under on calories
2. Water
3. Exercise: Walk, Run & shred (if I can find the DVD)
4. Laundry & bathroom
Have a lovely day!

Kim--Housework is the absolutely LAST thing on my to-do list. I HATE it! It's not so bad now but when the kids were little I used to wonder why I even bothered. It seemed they could destroy a room faster than it could be cleaned! Speaking of housework--MAYBE I'll get the downstairs bathroom cleaned today.
Leela--Great job on meeting your goals!

Only goal I had for the 28th (today) was to work and get my 6 mile run in.

Had a pretty good day yesterday. Lots of 'strength-training' at work. It was decided to send the trees to a bigger store so I spent a good part of the day loading them onto pallets for pickup. Arms are a bit achy today but not bad.
I'm going to get my 30 minutes done and then go into Olympia for a while. I just want to walk around and look at the shops, etc. I might stop by the Farmers Market, too. Haven't decided yet.
Momma--I'm glad your infection is healing.
Kim--Great job on your goals!

I had fun playing tourist yesterday. I'd never been to the Capitol Building and it is quite impressive! I plan on going again in a couple of weeks and maybe taking a tour of the Governor's Mansion.
Eh, I need to clean this keyboard! I think the little guy got to it! Thank goodness for Speckie (a free spell-check program for IE)!
Hope you are all having a great weekend! (We'll be cleaning gutters and doing yard work.)

Hello everyone. Not sure how the last 2 days got away from me but they sure did. Yesterday morning I had great plans for the day and then my best friend called me and needed a ride back home. She is running the marathon for the same race that I am doing the half and yesterday was her 20 mile run. She waited too late to start and the heat got her at mile 10 and just couldn't take it any longer. So that threw my day way off, but I did get to spend a good part of the day with her and then an impromptu dinner with her, her husband and a mutual friend of ours and my husband at my house....which is always fun cause God always seems to multiply the food that clearly was barely enough to feed my husband and I. God is so good.
Today was my 12 mile run for the 1/2 marathon training and that took me 158 minutes.... 2 hours and 38 minutes. IT FELT GREAT! So, I figure that the race will take me 2 hours and 51 minutes....I will shoot for 2 hours and 45 and anything under that is just BONUS!!!! I know it is a horrible time, but I don't care, I just want to get the 1st one under my belt so I can say I am a racer!!!!LOL
Hope you all have a great AUGUST! I can't believe it is here already!.
August 1st goals
1. Water....I have slacked off a bit and I can feel it!
2. LAUNDRY put away......Is there anyone who wants to do this for me?
3. Get menu made for August
4. Get my finances squared away for the month!
The infection looks great, just a scab now and thanks to any of you who prayed for me.0
