Weekly goals let's go!! THURSDAY CHECK IN!!!

Recap of your Weekly Goals:

Here's mine:

EXERCISE:  Continue my 3x a week Couch to 5K working on Week 2 again and meet with my PT
So far so good NOT sure if I'm going to be able to do my Couch to 5K tomorrow because starting last week my HIP HAS BEEN KILLING ME...but since it's "just" arthritis I fought through.  Not sure I want to fight tomorrow.  We shall see.  But I am meeting the PT in the morning

ADDING in another weights day
DONE - did weights on Tuesday and meeting tomorrow with PT =)

MENU/CARBS:  Continue planning my menu the day before to ensure my carb counts are in my goal mark
I am just amazed that I have been able to be "sweet" satisfied and keep my carbs at or under my goal mark.  Having my "cake" and eating it to has been a God send.

WATER:  I want to achieve 16 cups of water PER DAY this week.
This one has been challenging but so far so good.  Not sure how today will go because I'm in pain and my water bottle in across the office and I just don't have the energy go to and fill up.  We shall see!! 

EATING:  No eating after 8pm (this is going to be a challenge)
Considering I didn't get to the gym until 730 so I didn't get home until 9pm yeah this didn't happen last night.  But the week is NOT over.

Ok everyone how have you been doing??

MS Shell

7500 words so far. I'm behind, but I'll catch up today.

I take it you are writing something big?

So sorry about your hip. I hope you feel better!

I am trying to focus on just one goal each week.

This week my goal is to get over 100 protein every day and so far so good! If I make it to Sunday, I am rewarding myself with some new workout pants! 

I guess I didn't post my goals last week, but here goes:

Exercise - 6 times per week and adding a new exercise or changing out one for another each week.

Food - Stay within 600-800 cals and reduce snacking to once a day with vegetables

Sleep - Try to get closer to 8 hours each night

1. Get to bed before 11:00 on work nights, yes, this was from a couple of weeks ago, but I slipped last week, so here it is again.

Well, made it to bed by 11:00 except last night, got there a few minutes late.

2. Start getting the house ready for the Super Bowl party (go Niner's).

Not there yet. Son is helping, but after Christmas and the trip to Montana, the place is a train wreck.

3. Work on keeping the protein and water up, and carbs down.

So far, so good.

4. Increase my walking distance by 1 mile or more.

Got a 1/2 mile increase so far, but I have until Sunday.

5. Get my butt out of bed early enough on Saturday to make it to Long Beach coffee.

We'll all know if this is a success if we make it there on time.

I am planning and staying on track better with food.

Exersice....well I am working towards thinking about planning some activity very soon.

Good luck on that hip. Ms. Shell!

*Keep going on my C25K, week one right now, will do that & strength training 3X/week, may add Zumba or something day 4

*Eat "cleaner"...I've been pretty much on track with 800 cal, 40carbs, 100 protein but need to reduce cheese and protein powder/artificial sweeteners and increase clean proteins and veggies

*Increase fluids to 100oz, been doing much better with this

*In bed by 10:30PM, no damned TV until 8PM it decreases productivity. I watched enough f*cking years of TV!!

I'm trying to maintain a 10lb per month loss to get through this last 30lbs. LET'S GO!!!

I did okay on my goals...it was my first week to actually voice them and boy does that add accountability..

Water:  I wanted to get in 64 oz of fluid everyday.  I was compliant 5 out of 7 days.  I could give lots of excuses but I won't.  I didn't get it done end of story.  This week I want to get in 9 cups of water a day.

Food:  My goal was to experiment with different foods instead of relying on chicken and cottage cheese.  I did add fish to my diet, I tried carrots and cucumber but that wasn't so good for my sleeve.  Then I decided, why does it matter if my diet is limited...it works for me...when it doesn't I will change.  I want to increase my protein this week to  90 g.

Exercise:  My goal was to do my Richard Simmons tape five out of seven days.  I only did it 3...I usually don't leave my house but due to remodeling was out two days which is almost unheard of for me and was dead dog tired when I got home.  I know that was an excuse, bottom line I didn't get it done.  My goal this week is again to exercise 5 out of 7 days.

My major goal is accountability.   No more excuses, no more yes buts. I either do it or I don't but it doesn't matter why I didn't do it...it just matters I didn't.  I am going to be tougher on myself because no one can do this but me and no one can mess it up but me.
