Weekly Challenge
Day: Tuesday
Tracking: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes - 17 minute walk with Brody and 25 min of yoga/stretching. easier night on my hips and i have my study-class thing happening so there's not a lot of extra time tonight.

Couple things today:

1 - I hit my activity goal for may! I have a spreadsheet where I track the days and the time I do the activities in different categories (swim, yoga/pilates/other, C25k, Walks, and plank challenge) and while I haven't hit the monthly goal for each category, I'm way over for walks so that's awesome. I won't likely hit all the individual goals for the month, but it's a huge uptick from last month and the months before that since I fell off my fat-wagon. My total goal was 16 hours and 15 minutes, and as of tonight I'm over that!

(next month my goals will be a bit higher though still obtainable)

2 - another terrible food day though. i ended up sharing my lunch with a co-worker and the breakfast smoothie i brought gave me wicked heartburn a few sips in. Such a bummer. But yay tacos!

This week is dragging though. Today is Tuesday and it feels like it should be thursday. blegh!

@enyagoboom I also make monthly goals including exercise and eating goals and usually some sort of other small goal like no eating anywhere there is a drive through.
I would love to hear more about what goals you set because I am always looking for ideas.

@HASWLRS sorry I missed the post the other day with you asking about what I Chinese auction is. My granddaughters school had one. It is items or baskets donated put around the a room and bags with numbers on for each item/basket (these could range from something small like tickets to large items like bikes, etc.). Plus bigger items for door prizes etc. You by tickets and go around to each items you like and put a ticket in the bag. At a certain time the sponsors hosting the Chinese auction will shake the bag and pull a ticket (this is the winner). Very popular in our area and make great fundraisers to make money.
Are we on week 4?

@jlbtnc, yep, we are on week 4 of 5 for the month of May. We have these types of fundraisers, too, but I am not altogether sure what they are called. The church calls them "the penny table" because the prizes are smaller and the tickets are cheap, but I can't seem to recall what other places call them.

Your new profile picture is adorable and very romantic!! Was it a special occasion?

Sun: no
Mon: no

Two no days only cause of activity. I tracked and stayed under calories. Sunday I just needed a rest day from the weekend. Then we have had 90 degree weather here but we didn’t get our air conditioners in yet. I cannot sleep in hot weather so I just came home from work exhausted yesterday and laid on the couch, couldn’t get myself to the gym. Cooler weather is back so I will exercise today.

@erikNJ, you rested your body and stayed on track with your eating. And now that the cooler weather is back (we have the same weather!) you will start exercising again. Very much still on track!!
