O.K. So I’m a little late to the game.
Again.
That’s par for the course, people.
Anyway. I have goals, oh yes I do! I love a good goal. Don’t you feel like you are kind of wandering aimlessly without a goal. It’s like shopping without a grocery list, and we all know that THAT never ends of well, right?
For the next 31 30 28 days, here are my goals…
- Miss no more than 4 training sessions over the next 30 days.
- Only snack on foods with 5 ingredients or less.
- Be in bed for 7 hours a night.
I am going out of town next week and then we have visitors the week after that so I am going to need some REAL motivation to keep going on my training.
I’m a sucker for a good snack. But I don’t snack enough on simple stuff. So I’m going to limit my snacks to fruits, vegetables, or minimally processed foods. The one exception to this will be the fig newtons I eat during long bike rides and bike/run workouts.
Pretty self-explanatory. The kids aren’t the only ones who need to start practicing getting up early for school. : )
As always, I my ongoing goal is to stay in my magic weight range of 153-157. My weight last week was 159, but I had a triathlon plus two birthdays so you’ll have that.
This morning I weighed in at 157. Back in range, woohoo!!
Wanna follow along? I have a goal tracking spreadsheet, dontcha know?

When I up, down, touch the ground it puts me in the mood Up, down, touch the ground
in the mood {smacks lips} for food
Alrighty folks. We’ve reached crunch time. Somethings got to change. I’m back up this week, and I have no hormones to blame it on. I weighed in this morning at 158.8. That’s up. Quite a bit.
When I weight in at my monthly WW meeting tomorrow, I will have to pay. Again. For the 2nd month in a row.
My eating is out of control. Late night snacking. Desserts everyday. Sometimes candy, too. I’m feeling bleh. Bleh, bleh, bleh.
My exercise isn’t bad, but in no way am I exercising enough to make up for the eating that has been going around these parts.
I’m not sure what to do. I don’t really want to count points again, even though I know it works for me. I’ve considered doing some sort of “detox”. Sugar free? Fried foods free? Refined carbs free?
So MANY things I need to be free from.
So this week will be all about a little of self exploration and planning. But here are three things I will do this week…
- No food after 9pm.
- 100 oz of water a day.
- 1 sweet thing a day (instead of 3)

So I’m up this week and out of my range. No big deal. There are few reasons…
- Fudge on Mother’s Day
- Doritos on Mother’s Day
- The fact that I was born with 2 X chromosomes
- Snacking after 9pm (stupid chromosomes)
- No exercise
That being said, I’m doing well with my habits. I’m holding strong with at least 2 yogurts a day and at least 3-4 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And I’m pretty sure if I added more sugar to my coffee I would die from the sweetness. That one is definitely a habit!

Oh my goodness, that challenge went fast! I can’t believe that we are at the end already.
I weighed in at 155 this morning, which is down a pound from last week. Woohoo!
The question is, how’d I do on my goals?
Goal 1: Maintain Weight Between 153 – 157 pounds — I did this one every week! 100% on this one, baby!
Goal 2: Run 3 days a week, at least 3 miles each time — I didn’t do nearly as well as I wanted to on this one. I kept coming up with reasons excuses not to run. I only did this 9 out of the 18 time. 50%…not that great.
Goal 3: No food after 9pm — I did pretty well with this one. I met this goal 38 out of 42 days. 90% ain’t bad on this one and I definitely think it’s a habit. I don’t even think about food at night anymore.
So, I’m thinking that means no yoga mat for me. But that’s O.K. I learned a lot this time around and I conquered 2 out of the 3 obstacles in front of me!
So how did you all do? I can’t wait to hear!
