Okay, So I am going to try this whole setting a goal thing again. Maybe this time I will actually reach one. Since tomorrow is the 1st I will start then...and hopefully I can go a whole weekend with out sabotaging my healthy eating. ...and...maybe someone out there will help hold me accountable ;) I will do small goals again in hopes that I will reach them and that in turn will hopefully keep me motivated to loose the rest of this weight. I know once I get going again it will become easier to stay in the groove but it is so hard for me to get started. So here goes...
1. Drink water every day at least 64 ounces.
2. Go one week with out eating chocolate (this one will be tough)
3. Strength train 3 days a week
4. Loose five pounds
5. Log 15 miles (walking, running, elliptical)
If I can meet these that will be quite an accomplishment for me. I work as a case manager at a home healthy agency and we have been CRAZY busy lately. We have been short staffed for a few months and the end of the month is always a mess. There are days that go buy and the only think I would have had to drink is a cup of coffee. This is habit I must break!! I also am chocolaloic so instead of doing no chocolate for the whole month, a week is more doable for me. Maybe if I can do one week successfully I will keep going and reach 1 week and a day, then 1 week and 2 days and so on. It's all a mind game with me.
I am super excited today is Friday and even more happy that Monday is a holiday so that means a long weekend!! Wooohoo! ;) We don't have any big plans this weekend. I went to Wally world tonight and got a few things. Bry went on a Tinkerbell spree and got Tink toothpaste, toothbrush, sippie cup, fork and spoon set. It was fun to see her get so excite over toothpaste. Tomorrow we have my cousin's wedding to go to and Sunday church and hanging with family. A nice relaxing weekend.
Keeping my fingers crossed I can give a good report tomorrow!!
What are your plans for the weekend??

Blah!
My title says it all...BLAH!!! That's how I feel tonight. I should be all rested and relaxed since I just spent the last week off work and traveled to Orange Beach for my 29th Birthday. It was a lot of fun and really relaxing....I wish I could just win the lottery and buy a place on the beach. I promise to sill volunteer if I win ;) Going out of town for me means I go completely off my diet and and I just quit trying to eat even the least bit healthy. Then I beat my self up for doing it because I know that I will feel like crap afterwards. Its is something I struggle with every. single. day. I know I will struggle with over eating for the rest of my life, I just have to learn to manage it and control it. To not let it control me, It feels like an addiction, the desire is so strong for me to eat that chocolate cake or those french fries that I can't stop thinking about it until I eat it. It's horrible. I will do good a day then the next day do bad. Will my cycle ever stop??
I have to go back to work tomorrow. I am kinda dreading it but I am looking forward to getting back into my normal day to day routine. I do better with eating, exercising and just everything when I am in a routine. I am disappointed in myself to tell you that I don't think I reached any of my goals for August. I have to quit making excuses. The reasons I tell myself I can't do this or I can't do that..they are all just excuses. They are not actual legitimate reasons that are preventing me from waking up early and exercising, or eating they way I know I should.
Since I had today off also I decided to cook a big batch of the veggie taco stir fry that I like and made my lunch for the rest of the week. My plan is to eat a shake with spinach, almond milk, banana, and Ice in the morning, eat my oatmeal for mid morning snack, my stir fry at early afternoon lunch and then supper. Not sure if I have mentioned this or not but I have recently tried to stop eating meat, I would like to eventually go vegan but for right now it is vegetarian. I'll explain the change in my eating in a later post though. I will also try to start posting more pics. I took some today but can't find the cord I need to connect my camera to my computer. Maybe I should check my 2 1/2 year old's toy box?? Well, i'm gone to bed. Thanks for listening.
