Monday

I worked out today. I will not take another week off because I felt like I was going to die during kickboxing but I got back out there today. And I made quinoa for the first time tonight (butternut squash sage quinoa to be exact).

Just wanted to write this so I can re-motivate myself to get back out there again tomorrow. Day to day. Every day is a choice. And yes, I'm becoming my very own self-help book, haha.

Sunday

Warning:  I am already dreading this week and am really bummed that it is already Saturday, so this post is sucky and negative and apathetic.  

I am going to follow suit and not do measurements this week.  I feel like this week was just weird and that I struggled to make to correct decisions too.  I don't regret the bad ones I made, but I don't want the numbers to make me upset/feel guilty.  Not this time.  I feel pretty good about myself right now, so I am ok with the fact that this week stunk.  This week is a clean, fresh slate and I hope to make it a better week.  I suppose I just haven't been "into it" this week.

Goals for the week:

1. Zumba on Monday and Thursday.  Strength training on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.
2. (I will have to think about it more....my motivation is seriously lacking right now!!!!)

Today is a major cleaning day for me too.

• dishes
• laundry
• put boxes up in attic (our Christmas stuff has just been sitting around the garage.)
• vacuum living room and kitchen
• clear off kitchen table
• straighten up living room
• tidy up fireplace
• pick up all of my shoes (they're everywhere, they're everywhere!)
• fold and put up laundry
• clean stove top

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

Well this Sunday will be just a little a different because I am choosing to start over today and so I will forego measurements until next weekend. This week was a strange one but the eating got so much better after my Excuses post. I've decided that I just need to consider the food at work off limits.  A lot of that has to do with getting super prepared for the week on the weekends. Yesterday I worked and went to celebrate dad's birthday so I didn't get anything accomplished at home so that's exactly what I'm doing today.

Here's my detailed list:
8:20-Get laundry started
8:25-9:00 - Clean Kitchen
9:00-9:30 - Plan weekly meals and grocery list
9:30-9:45 - Fold laundry that's still in dryer from last week. Switch this weeks laundry
9:45-10:15 - Get cleaned up for the day
10:15-11:45 -  Grocery shopping
12:00-12:30 - Lunch
12:30-12:45 - Fold & finish laundry
12:45-1:30 Sort mail and file away papers from the last month
1:30-1:45 - Finish picking up study
1:45-2:30 - Wash Car
2:30-3:00 - Bank reconciliation/pay bills for the rest of the month
3:00-5:00 - Cook meals for the week...Well I roasted butternut squash, haha.
5:00-Bedtime - Free time!!!!

Health goals for the week:
1. Workout with my normal schedule (even if works gets busy I will go work out then come back)
2. Do not eat the food at work
3. Limit pops to 2 a day (yes this seems excessive but I'm trying to give up things in moderation and this will be a step back from Diet Coke crazy consumption)
