Jen's goals for this week!

1) Run 3 times and do elliptical 2 times
2) Abs 2 times
3) Bowflex 2 times
4) Fast food only ONCE (if that!)
5) Portion control (no seconds, no finishing the kids' plates)
6) Planned snacking (fruit, yogurt, string cheese, instead of pizza, pastries, cupcakes!)

I really think that my eating habits are what's keeping me at my current weight, and my exercise habits are what's keeping me from going up. I have found the balance, but it is at too high a weight. "Normal" BMI, here I come!

I thought you guys might like to have this thread stickied (not sure how to spell that!) too.

Since I'm here, I'll make a goal for this week. To get in at least 2 large glasses of water a day. I hate water so this is a hard goal for me.

I'll make another one too: To walk at least 20 min at least three times this week.

Now, let's see how I do!

Here is my goals:
1.) Gym (pool) 3x this week
2.) Drink more water instead of Diet Coke
3.) No more goodies. cut out the snacking all together
4.) No energy boosts during class (chocolate). - Take water.

We will see how I do. I am off to the gym in a moment.

My book launch party is Sunday, no chance I drop another 20 in that time period, right? Ok, how about this:

1) Double workouts all week - just to have me tight (double workouts mean 3 mile walk/jog & yoga, or 3 mile walk/jog & weights).

2) Water, water, water.

Well! Yesterday I think I did rather well!
Breakfast: graham cereal with skim milk
Lunch: Taco Bell (so that was my fast food for the week!)
Dinner: Med baked potato with salsa, parm, & broccoli, and grilled chicken breast.
Elliptical: 50 minutes

What I am most proud if is NOT finishing my kids' potatoes (with butter and cheese). I made a conscious decision, verbalized it to my husband, and put them in the trash. I am not a garbage disposal!

It is a history book, was my doctoral dissertation and it got picked up by a small, regional publisher. The title is Daniel Shays' Legacy: Marshall Bloom, Radical Insurgency and The Pioneer Valley. (You can see a cover photo on my blog - cyborgoddess.prettyposies.com).
