Mini Goal Monday

Another week is here.  Another list of goals need to be made.  It's time to step away from the same ol' same ol' - this week, I'm mixing things up a little.

So, if you don't know by now, you've either been living under a rock OR you haven't been reading my blog...shame, shame... but last week I was snowed in ALL week except for Monday.  Snow days bring HAVOC to my plans and mini-goals, because I usually just end up eating too much, sleeping too much, and sitting too much.

Last week, I didn't sleep too much or eat too much - really.  I didn't exercise as much as I should have - but it looks as though I'm going to get sometime this week to make up for it...thanks to another kick @ss winter storm that is heading this way for Wednesday.

I started the week out pretty strong, last week.  I did Yoga on Monday and Tuesday.  Then I lost my water Wednesday - Friday.  No water meant no showers and no drinking water... so no working out or drinking water on those days.  Friday, after not getting to work out, I pushed myself to do 2 work-out DVDs.  I was desperate to get some kind of activity in - and so the DVDs came to my aid.

This week, I'm changing things up a little on my goal list.  Because the weather is, once again, reporting the chance of heavy snow later this week - I'm putting off my C25K training for another week...just until I can get back outside. 

Here's the line up for this week:

• Yoga - each day (depending on whether or not I have to work will determine the time)
• Plan my meals
• Drink at least 60ozs of water each day
• Get in at least 30 minutes of work-out DVDs and/or Zumba in each day
• Take my lunch to work with me each day - on the days that I work
• Go to bed at 9am each WORK night
• Start new blog project

Yep, pretty much the same... but a little different.  Rather than doing my running, I'm opting to go with work-out DVDs.  I'm hoping that it will help get some strength training into my routine - because I need it.  Running, alone, just isn't cutting it.  I'm not seeing the results I want in my weigh-ins - and I know it's because I'm not burning enough calories.  I'm expecting the scale to reflect that on Wednesday, once again, so hopefully adding some variety in to my work-outs will help next week.

Also, you notice the last goal?  I'm going to be starting a new blog.  Don't panic - this will still remain my main blog.  I've decided to start a new blog for my writing, my thoughts, and answer some questions that I don't like to discuss on this blog.  I've received a few emails and comments, lately about my religious beliefs - or lack there of.  I haven't shared my views on religion too often here, well, because this is my weight loss blog.  Sure, I blog about my life - but religion is a whole different world for me.  It's one that raises many questions, personal opinions, and sometimes...even persecution.  So, I decided, to battle those questions and even answer some of my own, I'm going to start a new blog - to share my beliefs.... as well as my spiritual journey.

I will let you all know, if you're interested, when that's all up and running.

Well, I better run, I actually have to get ready for work this morning.

What's one goal you're making for yourself this week?

Till next time. ;)
