Before After

Is the weekend over yet? Week 5: 09/03/2007-09/09/2007

Been off schedule/off progress since Friday. We traveled to the in-laws for the weekend & I was feeling sick/blah. Soooo tired! Must of been a bug/virus because 2 of the munchkins were feeling blah, too. So, I call for a redo. OH wait, this is reality & there really aren't redo's in life, huh? damn.

Okay then, I'm not beating myself up over this nor am I just blithly ignoring it. Live & learn, right? Traveling was easier because I remembered the trailmix. Heck, I avoided a lot of junk food because I ate the trail mix! However, had too much trail mix. OOPS. Yucky weather made it nearly impossible to get outside & being cooped up in a tiny house with 5 kids is a little  much. I think that's why we ate so much trail mix! I did stop and buy yarn, though maybe crocheting would keep me busy & away from the munchies. Forgot my pattern book  though & spent too many frustrating hours trying to adapt a baby pattern into a large size blanket pattern. Finally figured it out & now have the start of a nice blanket. So, I had a couple of good, workable ideas, I just need to plan a little better. So, portion out the trail mix & make sure I have busy projects available  (Yarn & easy patterns, coloring books, novel, etc...).

I'll be back on progress tomorrow morning. I intend to have an early night tonight. See if a good night's sleep will help me feel better. Either way, it's definetly easier to stay on progress in my own environment! I can control the food, have exercise options, busy projects handy for me AND the munchkins, and have good water to drink  (they have sulfery tasting water & I made sure to take bottled water -but the munchkins drank most of it like little fishies -leaving diet cola for me).

I'm basically going to leave my weekly goals the same as last week. Since I didn't finish them,  I'm going to restart & retry.

  • Drink 90 oz. water daily
  • Take vitamins daily
  • Walk 18 miles
  • Go to Curves, minimum 3 times
  • Do 1 extra set of arm exercises this week
  • Do 2 reps daily of ab crunches
  • Lose 1-2 pounds 
  • Week 3 of 20 week 10K training (4 day workout schedule)
  • I hope ya'll had a good holiday weekend! I'll be reading blogs & catching up tomorrow.

    BEST WISHES!

    LOL!

    I have overdone the trail mix myself!  And we have the lovely sulfur-y water here, ugh.  This is why we filter.  I hope you are all better or get better soon!!  Bugs and five kids is NOT a good mix.

    No Place

    YEAH, there's no place like home.  Especially with little ones.  I don't even keep trail mix around as I have a distorted concept of it being good and heallthy, so I think I can eat a 6 lb. bag and not suffer any consequences. LOL  It's a new week and you can get back into your routine.  Much success on your journey.  Chargail

    I hope you get to feeling better!

    You can get back on track this week!  You can do it!  :-)  Shawn

    Good Job

    Even though it feels like you didn't stick to your goals you really did well.  Think about what you would have eaten a year ago on this weekend trip and what you ate this past weekend!  I am sure the contrast is very strong and so should be rewarded! :-D  Holiday weekends are hard on EVERYONE.  And sitting home is hard not to put something to your mouth to occupy your time.  SO good job trying to stay busy!

    Keep up the great work and have a successful on track week!

    Aware of the wanted and unwanted

    It is frustrating to know what you want to do and yet have so many obstacles in your path. Stay aware, though, even though awareness can bring frustration, it --awareness--is too valuable a tool to let go of. 

    A good nite's sleep!

    That should help.  You have great goals lined up for the week!  I love the lose 1-2 pounds!  I want that to be my goal, too!
