Finally made it on Monday

Hello! I finally am posting on Monday, which is my goal. Hurray!!
I'll keep this quick because the laundry is already starting, people need to get dressed, breakfast needs to be cleaned up, etc.
I made it to the gym this morning. Gave it a good effort. I'll be nice to myself again this week. Last week I slept away most of it. I figure I was recovering from an unusually long menstrual cycle. And I'm sure I wasn't eating enough too, because I was sleeping when I should have been eating. By Friday after I'd had several days of two or three naps I was in tears thinking I was dying. Pace said I wasn't and helped me check for lumps in my neck. Long story short I feel much better now. :)
My goals: Water! Two of the water things a day. I haven't quite mastered it yet. Gym, everyday, rotate elliptical/treadmill/cycle, upper body/lower body weights, back to five pounds, eights in two weeks. Abs daily and stretch better. Maybe if I have a really energetic morning use the rowing machine. (I always space out on the rowing machine and think of Dad and all the times he made us row him to the middle of the lake and he would take a nap.Then magically he'd wake up halfway and say "now row me back".)  Protein shake everyday, portion control, more eggs in my diet, healthy snacks if I need a snack. Like grapefruit. YUM!
Scripture reading/prayer daily. The girls are so good to remember at bedtime and mealtimes. We need to work on reading more. I also would like to not be getting my lesson ready at midnight Saturday night for Sunday. So lets go with Thursday or Friday to have my lesson ready.
Today I am also going to make all of my appointments for the beginning of the year. Check on the girls vaccines-make sure they are all good. Make myself an eye appointment, women's appointment, blood draw appointment and full body scan with a new endocrinologist. awesome (that was sarcastic)
Ok. I think I should get going, lots to do, so little time. Go team!

  1. Sounds like you have some good goals there and that they are a continuation of some you've already started. What is it you do with the weights?

    I'm glad you are not dying! But, I imagine you do get some scares...

  2. yes, sometimes I'll have a freak out and panic. but it always has turned out alright in the end. the healthier I keep myself the better I can recover if something does happen.

  3. Do I want to know what an endocrinologist is?
