Busy, Busy
So last week was a bit abnormal, I was 'relocated' to cover for someone that was on vacation, so I was at a very busy office (about 3x the size of the one I'm normally at), and I worked a TON! A few nites of not getting home until 7 or 8 p.m. and trying to get kids bathed and fed can really wear on a girl!
I didn't get as much exercise in last week as I had planned with my long work days, but I did pack my lunch and breakfast EVERY SINGLE DAY! And of course I kept up with my water challenge of drinking at least 100 oz of water
per day - I can feel a difference in my energy, and my clothes feel a BIT looser. Not checking the scale just yet, because
I have a tendency to concentrate on that TOO much - so well see what next week brings.
I'm STILL having a hard time adjusting to swim suit season - We were at Kings Island's water park again yesterday, and when you see all these Mom's with their little bikinis, stretch-free bellies exposed, it can be a bit depressing. But I tried to concentrate on my kids, since that's why we were there, and they had a blast! I love that my kids have no self conscience issues (yet) and can just run and play and not worry about what anyone else is thinking. I ENVY that in them..,
My goals for this week:
- Continue drinking my 100 oz of water per day
- BREAK A SWEAT in my work outs - continue my treadmill regiment of 40 minutes
combination of jogging/walking (at least 4x a week)
- Pack my lunch (and breakfast when needed)
- Get ALL my laundry sorted and put away, and work on my 'garage sale' items

Ugh the laundry. My husband actually had to step in today b/c it was so bad. Great job on the water, and your goals are great. (And those perfectly thin moms make me discouraged sometimes, too. We have to get over that!)
ReplyDeleteI agree that water parks can be a challenge. I found myself I suit I love... with a great black skirt piece and now I don't worry so much. Just have fun! Carpe Diem.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. Your plan looks great. :)
Forget the bikinis. I decided to buy myself a very pretty swim suit that compliments me. I am so over the little pretty ladies. I can do what I can do. Good luck this week on staying healthy
ReplyDeleteI love your self-restraint in the face of the scale. It's SO easy to get wrapped up in and discouraged by the scale numbers versus the actual inches being lost. I've had such a hard time keeping up wit water, so go you! You're killing it and your goals for this week are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteJust remember you are sexy to your husband and he will love you no matter if you are in a one piece or a two piece ;) Way to go with your water and packing lunch and breakfast! You are a super star. Proud of you! Let's go get our sweat on:)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on packing your meals and getting all that water in!! Don't worry about the little bikini moms, you are a great person and that is what matters :)
