It’s really hard to believe I’m still going on this. I do admit to being excited that I’m almost near the end, though. Not so I can revert back to my old self, but because the goals I set for this time haven’t been the ones I really need to help me work toward that ultimate weight loss by April 2011.
Still, I amaze myself because my mind is slowly but surely moving toward better ideas (exercising even when I don’t feel like it, eating better, being knowledgeable of what’s going to help me keep my momentum). That’s a definite plus. You can never have too many allies on your side, especially mental ones 
No pop or fries
I resisted the urge of fries. We hit that corner bar after the hub’s team lost their last tournament game for the season. I was kind of hungry but not starving. The norm is to get a sandwich and fries, but instead I got the sandwich and applesauce and really didn’t regret it even when the boy and the hub had their boats of fries there. I know I can have them another time, but I don’t need them every time. If I keep eating the way I’ve always eaten, I’ll always have the same weight issues I’ve always had. (Damn, I make myself sound smart LOL).
No pop. No problem. I don’t even think I had but one diet this week.
Walking the Dogger
No dogger walking though we did play outside before we got another dump of snow last night. Another dump expected tonight. You know, that groundhog is not holding up his part of the bargain. I want spring and I want it now.
30 minutes of workouts 5/7 days
Uh…yeah. Actually, I planned at the start of the week that I would finish my Wii Active 30 Day Plan this week but alas, others had different ideas. I had meetings and games and shopping to do which leaves me little time in the evening. I just don’t/can’t exercise after about 5pm or it keeps me wide awake. Plus, that’s when I’m making dinner. I didn’t exercise any day this week (with the Wii) except today.
But I did keep my walking at lunch schedule. Every day but Weds., and that’s because I was at an all-day teacher’s meeting so it wasn’t an option. But tomorrow I plan to totally bust out and do *2* (the last two) Wii Active workouts to end this first cycle of the 30 Day Workout. Not a bad idea considering today was day 50 LOL.
Yoga/Meditation
I did do a yoga session last week. WHAT? Yep, you heard me right. After an ab workout, I rolled out the mat and fired up my favorite Rodney Yee tape. I didn’t feel like practicing on my own for some reason so I brought him along. He reminded me that my thighs have grown and that I need to do this stuff more often. I’m hoping to. I need to develop the mindset of daily practice, that’s all. Easier said than done.
All in all, a reasonable week that would have been stellar had I worked out. Ah well, there’s next week. March. Wow. Time flies…
