This week's goals -July 18th

My scale moved down a pound!! LOL Yay! I am not picky. I will take any decrease of pounds.
I am looking forward to tomorrow!!!
I love Mondays b/c it's an opportunity for me to reflect on the previous week and refocus on changes that I might need to make for the coming week.

Last week, was a good week...Not my greatest but it was good. My schedule allowed me to attend ONE Zumba classes last week and so I felt the difference in my energy level. However, I did more weight lifting. I stayed within my calories range each day and I exercised everyday but once. I cooked everyday except one day. I got some needed rest and took some extra time loving on my family!

My goals for next week are:

1. Increase my exercise to twice a day. (For this week only to spike up my metabolism). The morning exercise isn't difficult. I am finding my 5/6 A.M. exercise sessions help my brain to get started. It's the evening that wears me out. I can do it!!!

2. Cook EVERYDAY (Monday-Friday) That means that I need to plan ahead to make sure I have all the ingredients beforehand because I will be working LATE everyday. What goes inside my family's bodies is the NUMBER ONE priority right now. What's the point of my diet being healthy and my family's diet poor? What does that say about me?

3. Manage my stress better. I am looking for a great Yoga class to help me with this. In the meantime, I'm writing more...That helps me alot.

4. Spend more quality time with my family.

5. Lastly, just continue on my path!


Some possible barriers this week:

1. My Job!!! I work for a company this summer that caters great homemade FREE meals, desserts and snacks ALL day long. So, it will be tempting for me all day to make good healthy choices. It's hard seeing all types of desserts all day begging for me to choose it. LOL Ugggh...so not looking forward to that. I love the fact that it has good healthy options. I just need to choose the healthy options..:-)

2. My TIME!!! I will be working all day and doing long hours of overtime. So I must plan my meals ahead of time and manage my schedule for exercising.

3. My Energy LEVEL!!! I will be stretched to and fro....I must push myself.

Ok, that's enough about my goals. What are your goals for next week! Drop me a line to let me know.

Until next time,
