Hope you all had a great holiday!!

Monday: 2.3 miles

Tuesday: .5 miles

Wednesday: .5 miles

Thursday: 1.5 miles

Friday: 1.2 miles

Saturday: Merry Christmas

Sunday: Well Hello Blizzard!

TOTAL = 6 miles… GULP

Last Week’s Goals:

- Walk 15 miles [with the holiday I hope to still get in as much walking as I can]

-Pack a healthy lunch everyday this week

-Pack healthy snacks [already bought carrots + celery sticks]

-Increase water intake!

-Do a set of pushups + sit-ups 3x this week

-Resist temptation on Christmas!!

For the 3 weeks I have averaged about 21 miles a week, so this 6 miles is wayyy under what I have been walking lately, and I’m disappointed in myself, but I know it wasn’t because I was being lazy. I spent the week with some tummy problems that has me barely able to function at work. Add that to last minute Christmas shopping and Christmas, it was a hard week. I should have pushed myself harder, but there was a lot on my plate this week, and so I prioritized other things over making sure I walked 21 miles.

I did a pretty good job at packing a lunch this week. I forgot one day [only had bread] so therefore only ate bread, and was super hungry. I know that wasn’t good, but I didn’t want to go get something and didn’t want to spend any money at food! I spend enough at the grocery store every time I go!

Sooo someone ate my raw almonds at my desk, so I felt a bit stuck with snacks, as they were my go to snack. But I ate apples, celery, and carrots, and this week am thinking raisins, hummus, and apples will be good healthy satisfying snacks for me.

Not doing so great on the water intake. I mean, I’m drinking it, but not drinking enough. I have to figure out another tactic to want to drink more! Ideas??

Because I was sick all last week I didn’t do any pushups, so definitely want to make sure I get them in this week.

This Week’s Goals:

-Walk 10 miles [there is about a foot and a half of snow so hoping to get as much walking as I can]

-Pack lunch the 3 days I’m in the office

-Eat healthy snacks

-Do a workout DVD one time this week

-Limit alcohol intake on New Years
