My name is Amanda. I live with my husband and his friend who is renting a room in our house. Also two dogs and a cockatiel. Full house by my standards, but anyone who's got kids disagrees with me.
I scored a desk job after working on aircraft for about 7 years. Being in the military means I don't always have the time to do the things I want to. (meaning I don't always have the day off I was planning to use to relax)
The doctor recently told me I have slight tendonitis in my knees, which has got me super scared because I love running.
So on with the goals now?
1- drink enough water
2- resist the urge to eat junkfood at the game store
3- achieve todays 'FLY Lady' goal
free publicity - www.flylady.net - it helps you get organized. I'm on baby step #2.0 -

Today is birthday so unsure of evening plans, hard to plan ahead that way! Just will give myself a little extra space. At least chocolate cake is gone. Husband asked if I wanted one for my birthday. I told him no, I just helped him eat his. I may make one on sunday when people are over.
Have a great day!
I'm sorry I missed this! Hope you had a great day and a wonderful weekend!

Goals for Feb. 3:
1. Drink more water.--Need to do better.
2. 2 mile walk and 15 minutes ab workout.--Yes to the walk, no to the abs.
3. Healthy choices and portion control.--No and no.
Focus! I need to focus! I ended up giving in to emotional eating last night (I think there was some thirst involved, too!) and now I feel like crap. My plan for today is to eat as clean as possible and drink LOTS of water! I'm going to do the abs workout that I should have done yesterday, too.

1- um... win? I think... I need to track these things better. I was missing my water bottle yesterday, though, so it was really hard. I usually just count how many times I get a refill
2- ok, this one... I'm gonna count as fail because although I literally didn't eat anything at the game store (cuz game was cancelled and I didn't go to the store) I did have a beer and a bunch of bar food.
3- made my reminder notes, did not post them around the house yet. I think I'll do that now, actually.
New Goals for Today:
1 - find water bottle to accurately track water (and figure out how to remember where I put it)
2 - do 1 load of laundry completely (wash, dry, put away)
3 - fit in a small workout today0 -

have a great weekend everyone.
I followed me updated meal plan. The premixed protein drinks are not as good as the protein shakes I make in the blender....but they are do able since I will be in and out of the home office for the next few weeks and it is important that I get all my protein in. I got the food shopping done and even got to the gym. I made it a point to find my personal trainer to show that I was there. ( I really hate working out at the gym....just not fun, but it is necessary for me to be healthy and achieve my goals.) Afterwards, I went over to the Farmers Market and walked around for about a half hour outside looking at all the yard sale items. I didn't get to do the deep cleaning that I wanted....tomorrow is another day. And I am looking forward to my relaxing bubble bath. In all, today was a really good day...0 -
My goals for Sunday
get caught up with my bible reading....I always seem to fall behind during the week.
Ride my exercise bike for 30 minutes....got to get cardio in

Not sure if I am going to watch the super bowl...I do want to watch the puppy bowl...it is so cute to watch.

2. 2 mile walk and 15 minutes ab workout. --No to both.

I really don't think we have any real plans. We have a veggie/cheese tray and that's about it.
We don't have much of an interest in either of the teams (sorry fans!) so I'm not even sure we will be watching the game!
