90 DHC - Day 30

Ok weird rough week.  I gained a half pound.  Could have been much worse, but I got back on track to salvage the week.  It all started out with the great Chinese food dh & I had on our first date night in a long time.  Could have made some better choices there...couple that with an entire week missed at the gym, and yep, a half pound gain.

But I'm back.

As for the goals:

Water:  Done.  
(Fruits and) Veggies: Done.  Made WW Broccoli cheddar soup and made a great Asian chicken stir fry tonight!
Exercise 3x/week:  Went today, first time in a week :-(
De-clutter 10 min:  Yes...some linens.
Track food:  Done!

Tomorrow is my birthday.  Going out, but have it all planned out, should be ok!

90 DHC - Day 22

I start out today's blog post with something I have sometimes ended with, my gratitude list.   It is a short list today, consisting only of this:

• My children

In our little town today, a 17 year old young man was buried in our church cemetery after a 5 year, on-and-off battle with leukemia.  So brave, for so long...so unfair.

Hug your children...

As for the goals:

Water:  Done.  
(Fruits and) Veggies: Done.  
Exercise 3x/week:  Should have gone but did not make it.
De-clutter 10 min:  De-cluttered kids' toys!!  More than 10 min!
Track food:  Done!

Recovering from a delicious, but highly caloric Chinese dinner last night.  It was a rare date-night with my husband, and we went for a special dinner.  Back on track today...

90-DHC Day 15

Love Saturdays, can go to the gym without huge time pressure to rush out to beat the karate class dismissal & pick up the kid.  I'm repeating Week 2 of C25K this week, it is still just too hard for me (I finish it, but I'm sucking a bit of wind), got to do that on the TM at the gym and then had the opportunity to actually weight train.  It had been a week since I did that, I just can't fit that in during the week when I am fitting gym in between karate start and karate end!

I am finding that I actually like the gym once I get there...I can just listen to iPod and relax my mind for a half hour.

Here's how my goals went today:

Water:  Almost done.  7 so far, I'll have some more herbal tea for another one.
Veggies: Done.  Had Chinese takeout, ordered steamed mixed vegetables on some steamed white rice.  Oh, and 2/3 of an egg roll, my fave.  Still within my calorie/fat, so it's good.
Exercise 3x/week:  Done today--C25K, W2D1 (secondweek of W2)
De-clutter 10 min:  YEP!  Kitchen, HW table papers
Track food:  Done!
