Goals for Myself

It has been a week since I posted last and I got a friendly little nudge from one of my friends telling me that she was patiently waiting for the next post. Honestly, I've been a little distracted this week from the blog and busy at work. I am proud that even though this week has been tough emotionally I have stuck to my guns. I've been eating better and I haven't really been eating out (at this point, whatever I cook is going to be better than eating out). I went to TRX Bootcamp yesterday and am going to my sculpting class tomorrow.

I've been working on my list of goals and I think I have come up with things that will really help me make good habits. I am hoping the "1 week-ers" will force me to do it and then it will just become normal and I will continue on. Let me know if you have any additions for me! So, here I go.

1. Eat breakfast at home all week
2. Take my lunch to work all week + #1
3. Cook dinner every night + #1 and #2
4. Include fruits and/or vegetables in each meal
5. DRINK WATER! (Remembering my water bottle is imperative here. Not so good at that yet.)
6. Drink only 1 non-water drink per day for 1 week
7. Drink only water for 1 week
8. Attend TRX (without skipping) for 2 months
9. Incorporate exercise into my week 3x a week

And I can go ahead and cross #1 off my list. Yay!

1. Eat breakfast at home all week

I am going on almost 2 weeks of breakfast at home! I went to Subway for a free breakfast on Monday, but it was a healthy, flat bread sandwich with egg white, half a slice of provolone, a strip of bacon and a slice of cucumber. It was good.

I am still trying to find some ways to switch up the breakfast routine so it isn't just cereal everyday and I saw the Jimmy Dean Delights turkey sausage muffin in the freezer section. It was actually pretty good and only 260 calories. I'm going to look around and see what other kind of selections they have. Wish me luck!

This Is Me

Ok. So. This is me. Trying to lose weight. I don't really know what I am doing except that I am trying and that is half the battle right? I hope so anyway.

I am starting small with my food goals because every other time my goals have been obscure, like 'eat healthy." What does that even mean anyway? Especially to a picky eater like me. I'm talking like two year old picky. They tease me at work about how picky I am. I can count on one hand the vegetables that I will eat.

My goal this week was to eat breakfast at home every day. Then I ran out of milk last night (I crave milk and last night was one of those nights), so I stopped and got a biscuit because it was quick and easy on the way to work.

I am trying to get out of the quick and easy mind frame, but it is hard. So tomorrow I start again. I eat breakfast at home because one mistake won't derail me like it usually does. Once I've got this goal down, I will move on. Writing this I am inspired to write each goal down and then cross them off the list. Crossing things off a list is so satisfying. I will get on that. Anyways, thanks for reading :)
