Weekly Goals:
1. Exercise 4 times this week
2. Research power/energy foods
3. Buy new exercise ball
October 18th, Saturday
Food--
Breakfast: oatmeal
Snack: string cheese, dried apples
Lunch: leftovers from Thursday, leftover beans from last night
Snack: fruit snacks, 100 cal. pack-oreos
Dinner: chicken and rice
Drinks: milk and water
Exercise---
I cleaned the house today. When I say clean, I mean deep clean. So yes, that is quite the workout.
October 19th, Sunday
Food---
Breakfast: Alphabits, yum
Lunch: Missed it due to the bishopric calling and needed us to come early, total chaos
Dinner: Thanks to our good friends, The Smoots, we had a wonderful dinner. Pork Roast, potatoes, carrots, and peaches. It was so good!
Treat: Popcorn Balls. I treated myself and it tasted good. I have to let myself have treats every now and then or there is NO WAY I can stick to this. Oh, and I had 5 candy corns too.
Exercise---
Nope, a day of rest.
Feelings---
Well, I look forward to a new week. I am excited and grateful I am feeling better and I look forward to exercising. I'm also trying to take better care of myself by taking more time to get ready in the morning (actually putting on make-up and doing my hair) so that I feel better about myself throughout the day. That seems to be helping too.
October 20th, Monday:
Food---
Breakfast: wheat chexs
Lunch: Dan and I went out to Pei Wei. I had two lettuce wraps and half a entree of sweet and sour chicken with brown rice, and two fortune cookies
Snack: dry cereal
Dinner: chicken cordon bleu and green salad, apple slices, milk
Exercise---
Yup. Went running/speed walking with Kate. It was warm when I went. Maybe around 84 degrees. It is starting to get cooler, though. That makes it easier for me to exercise outside.
Tuesday, October 21st:
Food---
Brunch: the one and only cheerios
Dinner: bean and bacon soup, tuna sandwhich, small side salad
Snacks: dry cereal, string cheese
Exercise---
Yes. I went for a long walk/run with Kate. We went around Lake Pflugerville
Goal Update---
I bought a new exercise ball today. It came with a couple of other things that I am anxious to use; two two pound balls, a smaller exercise ball, resistance bands, and dvds. I am excited!
Wednesday, October 22nd:
Food---
Breakfast: banana
Lunch: Peanut Butter and honey sandwhich
Dinner: homemade hamburger with fresh fixins, frog-eye-salad, baked beans, celery and carrots with dip
Exercise---
Not today. My inlaws got here today, I got the house ready for them to come.
Thursday, Oct. 23rd:
I hate blogging about this every day. Maybe I should just do a weekly review. Eh?
Food---
Breakfast: cereal and half of a banana
Lunch: chicken burrito and cinnamon rice twists
Dinner: Mel's Tex-Mex over rice, broccoli, frog-eye-salad, milk
Snack: frog-eye-salad (I made a lot and need to eat it)
Exercise---
We went shopping to day and walked around the outlets for a good two hours. Better than sitting on your butt and I am counting it because my feet are sore.
Friday, Oct. 24th--Happy B-day Russ!
Food---
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: left-overs from last night's dinner
Dinner: RUDY'S BBQ, so good! Everything I ate is probably not too bad for you, except for the creamed corn and some chocolate pudding. But, I had to treat myself. I have been so good while family is visiting right now. They are going out for ice cream and drinks, and I have been faithful. It has been hard, so I let myself have a little bit of a reward. I didn't over-indulged, however. That's the key.
Exercise---
Yup, and today's was very different and fun. We went rowing on Town Lake for a couple of hours. I'll tell you, my arms are going to be very sore tomorrow! It was a beautiful day, however. In the mid 80's and clear skies.
Saturday, October 25th:
Food---
Breakfast: dry cereal and water on my way down to San Antonio
Lunch: PB and honey sandwhich, fruit snacks, celery and carrots, 100 cal. pack
Snacks: pretzels, and fruit snacks, dried asian pears
Dinner: Cheesecake Factory. One avacado wrap (they are small), one thai wrap, soup and 1/2 sandwhich. And, three bits of the best cheesecake ever!!!!!
Exercise---
Nothing official, however---I chased little kids around, literally, all day. Great workout. I am exhausted.

Great first week, especially considering the circumstances. I am so proud of you, I know I haven't made it the easiest with some of my own diet, but I will try harder to show you how much I love and support you. Keep up the good work!
Ditto to Dan's words. You have inspired me to do better, and I promise to exercise at least 3 times this week. I know from experience that if you don't get up and have hair and makeup on before 9:00 am, you might as well forget it! So that's a great idea, too. I know you are tired today, but keep the good attitude up and LAUGH! No one has a prettier smile than you! Mom
Hey, I think cleaning your house for visitors an count as exercise!
I'm sure it's a pain to update every day - but maybe it helps to keep you accountable? Of course if weekly works for you, then do that. Whatever you need to help yourself and be accountable for it. Looks like you're doing well! Keep at it - the results will pay off! Now if I could just start gaining weight :) (Gosh I never thought I'd wish to not lose weight and gain it!) Love ya!
The hard part about your everyday check in is that it's hard to find. But I think it's good for accountability, too; so my vote is to keep it up!
