Chapter 2 page 39 - positive goal update

I'm super thrilled to give you this goal update because I have finally done something RIGHT!!!!!! . . . well, mostly right!!!!!!! - it's not all sunshine, but at least on the exercise front I have done well today (hope my WWI team reads this and can finally smile at me-I've let them down sooooo badly the past 3 months!!!!)

My goals for next week:

1.) Attend aerobic class on Monday and Tuesday.
AS I SAID YESTERDAY, MONDAY'S CLASS WAS CANCELED, BUT I DID GO TO AEROBICS CLASS TONIGHT AND MONDAY'S CLASS IS RESCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW SO . . .I'M GOING TO GO TO THAT TO MAKE UP FOR NOT GOING ON MONDAY. I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACTIVITY GOAL LISTED FOR THURSDAY BECAUSE I THOUGH MY SOCIAL CALENDAR WAS FULL, BUT TURNS OUT MY PLANS WERE POSTPONED 'TILL NEXT WEEK SO . . . I'M GOING TO TORTURE MYSELF BY GOING TO 2 HOURS OF AEROBICS CLASSES - MY WWI TEAM DOES IT EVERY WEEK SO SURELY I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT ONCE???!!!??? WISH ME LUCK!

2.) Go to the gym on Wednesday and Friday.
ALTHOUGH I REALLY REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO - I DO PLAN ON GOING TO THE GYM BEFORE GOING TO THE AEROBICS CLASS (CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND PRAY FOR ME TO HAVE THE RESOLVE TO GO)

3.) Participate in Spring Into Training on Tuesday.
GUESS WHAT I DID????? 2 OTHER AWESOME WOMEN, OUR PROGRAM DIRECTOR, AND I DID MY FAVORITE 2 & 2 (WALK 2 MINUTES, JOG 2 MINUTES) - WOW IT WAS FUN AND FLEW BY. WE WENT NEARLY 3 MILES AND I COULD HAVE GONE A BIT FURTHER. I'M VERY SORE NOW - MY "WHO-HA-NESS" AND HEEL HURT, BUT I DID IT!!! LOVED IT AND CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN!!!!!

4.) Using the week's menu I created and grocery shopped for today, be mindful of my portion size.
SO THIS IS AN AREA THAT REALLY NEEDS MY SUPER FOCUS. I MADE THE MOST AWESOME POTATO SOUP AND HAD SECONDS - WHICH WASN'T TERRIBLE EXCEPT AFTER I BROUGHT THE SECONDS BACK TO THE TABLE I REALIZED I WAS FULL AND REALIZED AS I WAS EATING IT THAT I WAS TOO FULL - I WAS, I GUESS, MINDFUL - I JUST DIDN'T ACT ON WHAT I OBSERVED -NEXT TIME!

So for the week, I'm not doing too bad. I love that I actually did 45 minutes of aerobics and 40 minutes of jog/walk and that I didn't HATE it.

How are you doing this week????? I hope you are experiencing success as well.

  1. Lisa,
    I have been good and exercising. I have decided that I will exercise at least 5 days a week but I shoot for 6. I allow myself to take Sunday off, but if it's nice I would like to take a walk or go on a bike ride with friends or family. I feel like I finally have my eating under control. Writing down is a must for me. I also went back to weighing foods to make sure my portions are correct. I am loosing slo.....wly. But I'll take it!!
    I am loving this weather!
    Have a great day,
    Susie

  2. Thanks Susie for the comment - wondered if you were still a reader. I'm sooooo in awe of your under control eating - dang, I can't wait for the day when I can post that on your blog about me!!!! 5 days a week is the perfect amount according to all the research studies. Great job. I've finally decided that exercise has to become my "part time" job so to speak. It is something that I must do 5 days a week as well -I'm still working on the logistics of actually getting all of that in during the week.
    Great job! I'll keep trying to write things down (do you show people to keep you accountable?) - it's working for you.
    God bless!
    Lisa
