Recap and goals for 7/18

Last week could have been better, could have been worse.  As far as my goals, I did pretty good at eating 5 small healthy meals a day (minus Mom’s noodles and potatoes).  I did workout 5+ days.  Ate too much sugar L.  I did not stretch.  I’m thinking that may be a better goal for the non-pregnant me.  I did feel good about finding some balance in my life last week.  I gained 3 pounds.  Yikes!  However, I'm pretty sure I was carrying an extra pound of water in each foot yesterday.  I’m 49 pounds away from my goal.  The fact that I have to lose 50 pounds seems overwhelming, but we’ll just take it one step at a time, right?

Goals for this week:

-5 small healthy meals a day (concentrate more on portion size)

-Workout at least 5 days a week and do something active each day we are on vacation.

-I don’t know if I should put a number on dessert/sugar while we are on vacation.  Hummm… I’m thinking about running 10 sets of stairs on Thursday.  How about I allow myself 1 dessert while on vacation and for each additional serving of dessert I have to run an extra 5 sets of stairs. 

-Last week when we did our timed run for the stairs I did it in 36 seconds.  I realize it will only get harder and I will get slower and by Thursday I will be another week pregnant, but considering the fact that my timed run was on my 12^th set of stairs I’m hoping I can beat my time by at least 1 second. (By the way, Marla is doing so awesome!!! I hope to catch up to her someday)!

AMANDA, WHERE ARE YOU?  I’M COUNTING ON YOU AT THE STAIRS ON THURSDAY 5:15 AND YOU OWE US AT LEAST 2 BLOG POSTS.
