Weekly Goals - #5

Each week, I'll set a few small goals to achieve and build upon. After all, you can't sprint from the starting gate and expect to win the race, right? The emphasis may change from week to week, but all the goals are a continued effort. I'll share them here and would love to know what you think of them. Let me know if I'm giving myself too much slack, or not enough credit.

Weight loss GOALS for week three:

- I must eat Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & a Snack.
-- Replace one meal with a shake, fortified smoothie or milk.
- I must drink at least 25 ounces of water.
- I must acknowledge everything I eat in a daily journal.
- I must get at least 5 hours of constant sleep each night.
-- Two nights this week, I need to get 8 hours of sleep.

Exercise:

- Stretching arms, legs and back every day.
- Walk 10-15 mintues on the treadmill, twice a week.

Well...sometimes life gets crazy and hectic. I've missed being able to get on last week. Once again I'd like to take another week to dig into these basic goals that I outlined last week. Anyone can drink shakes, and work out three times a week. I did, and I lost weight...initially. But my weight always came back, and I sit here just as heavy and still unhealthy.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new season of The Biggest Loser tomorrow. (Its always a great initiator for me to keep on track each week.) I definately feel if they can do it then I can! Also, we have alot going on in our lives. I am looking for a new vehicle right now, and we're also planning on moving in the next six months. Lots of great things to look foward to, but I'm also ready to shed my fat suit. On a positive note, being more critical of myself has made me want to look better overall. Isn't it amazing how much we can let ourselves go? I don't want to become vain in any stance, but I'm ready to be one hot momma!

So bring on the waxing appointment, the haircut, and a overdue hair dye treatment. I love that I want my nails buffed, shined and published. I can't wait to find a great sale and get some new, flattering duds. And make-up? Oh, how I long for thee! I even want to wear the gooey-goopey lip gloss. :-) Spring is coming and I'm ready to feel and look great. How about you...are you ready to start week six running?
