where to draw the line...

ok... I was very excited when I got on the scale this morning.  It read 170.6

Now, my reward for getting to 170 is to finally watch my Sex and the City DVD (the movie).  I have owned it for weeks and it just sits on top of my cook books waiting to be watched.  BUT, the rule to myself was 170 pounds and you get to watch it!

So, what do you think???  Does 170.6 count?  Or do I have to wait for a number less than 170.5?  Or do I have to wait for 170.0?  OMG, I just want a reward for losing anything in December!  But, I don't wanna be a cheater!!  haha.  Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this.

PS... I was sick last week and didn't work out at all.  I finally got on the treadmill today for 30 minutes and it felt great.  :)

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

**ok, I've thought about it**

Alright, alright... I talked to my boy toy about this dilemma... and I'm not going to watch the DVD until I'm at a 170.0 or less.  That will make me work EXTRA hard this week to get to my freakin' reward!!!!!!

Cheers to possibly meeting my mini-goal!

Cheers to twenty five years!

GOALS: out with the old, in the with new

So, recap of goals for this week...

1. cardio... 18 miles of walking/jogging -- not done.  I did 5.25 miles.

2. weights... 3 days -- not done.  I did two days.

3. 2 days of blogging -- done

4. log food everyday -- not done.  I logged two days.

Ok, so I only met one out of four of my goals.  But, I did get some activity, which I feel is better than none.  I knew I wouldn't get the 18 miles, b/c I looked up a plan for switching from walking to running.  I have decided to follow that plan to get me speeding up.  And, I did go by that plan and it made my treadmill time much more interesting.  

My legs and arms have been sore... from jogging and weights!  I like that feeling.  It reminds me that I've been moving...

NEW GOALS:

1. cardio... walk/job plan three days a week 

2. weights... upper body weights on M, W, F

3. 2 days of blogging

4. log food everyday

Cheers to new goals!

Cheers to twenty five years!

MUST... THINK... OF... THE... BEACH...

ok, so I really need to remember that long pants and sweaters aren't to be worn all year... there will come a time ... much sooner than I'd like to realize that I will be in a bathing suit.  I don't want to be the chubby girl in the suit this summer...

therefore, two cardio sessions for me this weekend... and tomorrow is upper body weights as well.

cheers to bathing suits!

cheers to twenty five years!

I'm not in the mood...

no, no, no... not that, you perverts.  ;)  I'm not in the mood for a workout. 

I'm feeling like a slacker.  :(

I know what my goals are this week... I'm just not motivated.

I have lots of excuses.. that are all lame.  I hate excuses.

I feel like one of my little students at school ... when I ask, "WHY did you do that?"

and they just look at me blankly and shrug their shoulders.  

My goals are staring me in the face saying, "WHY aren't you doing anything?"

and I just nicely shrug my shoulders... I don't know why.

I think it's important that I post on the days that I feel like crap too... I can't stand always feeling the need to appear positive or perfect.  (yeah right!)

I know I should be on the treadmill right now... but I think I'm just going to go clean my kitchen and get back to it tomorrow.

side note:  I did actually do cardio and weights yesterday... but that's it for the week, so far.

cheers to venting!

cheers to twenty five years!

All about Goals...

First things first, let's see how I did on my goals this week...

by the way, b/c of how my workout journal is set up, I am counting my weeks from Monday to Sunday.  So, today is the end of my week.  :)

1.  4 days of cardio - DONE

Wed and Th - 30 minutes of cardio

Friday - 48 minutes of cardio

Saturday - 60 minutes of cardio

2.  2 days of weights - DONE

did arm workout 4 days... M, W, F, Su

3.  2 days of blogging - DONE

much more free time = much more blogging!

4.  log in food journal every day - NOT DONE

out of my daily schedule threw me off, I think.. didn't log  :(

NEW GOALS FOR THIS WEEK!

1.  Cardio - 18 miles for the week

I am going to start thinking of my cardio in terms of miles.  I think this will help me move from walking to jogging more.  If I know I just need to do 60 minutes of cardio, I can just drift off and walk for 60 minutes.  But, I need something to push me to get more distance... that will push me to do more jogging, which I know I can do.  

2.  3 days of weights... Tu, Th, Sa

3.  2 days of blogging

4.  log food everyday

Cheers to meeting most of my goals!

Cheers to twenty five years!

cardio?? on thanksgiving!?!?!

seriously... I need a gold star or something...  I just did cardio on Thanksgiving!  hahaha

Now, I gotta hit the shower and head over to my parents' house.  :)

Hope you all have a fab Thanksgiving!!

Cheers to yummy food!

Cheers to twenty five years!

I'm rockin' my weekly goals!

so far, so good on the goals...

I am logging my food every day... if I keep that up, goal will be met.

I have blogged at least twice already... so that goal is met!

I have done two weight sessions... so that goal is met, too!

I have done one day of cardio and plan on doing that each day til Saturday, so that should be met as well.

I knew not having to work all week would get me in the mood for a kick ass week.  yessss!

After I shower in a few moments I'm going to make some white chocolate covered pretzels to bring to my parents' house tomorrow... yum!

Then, I'm going to work on a painting that is way over due for a friend... I shall post a picture of it when I'm done... for fun!

cheers to productive days!

cheers to twenty five years!
