Hot Mama Monday~ Goal Update and Some Motivation

Good Morning Everyone,

It's that time again....

Here were the goals from last week:

1) Continue to stick to my meal plan. ~ Not so great on this one. I was gone a lot last week and thus some fast food was involved. Not a lot but still....boo.

2) Track every day!~ Epic Fail....I think I tracked one day? Boo again.

3) Up the water intake to a gallon a day!~ This was not quite met but I drank at least 8 glasses so not a total fail. It was so hot that really this wasn't much of an effort.

4) 30 minutes of activity a day.~ Nope.

5) Try to come up with smarter snack ideas so that the time between lunch and dinner is not miserable! (this was my issue and ended with the slip up on Wednesday!) ~ I have some ideas but honestly I didn't "apply" any of my ideas. Fail again. 


So as you can see...it was a rough week. I could make excuses. I could dwell on it. However I choose not to, instead I choose to be happy and see today for what it is, A Fresh Start. 

Goals for this week, Same as last week with one different one:

1) Continue to stick to my meal plan.

2) Track every day!

3) Up the water intake to a gallon a day!

4) 30 minutes of activity a day. 

5) Forgive myself for last week. Do not dwell on it. Past is behind you. Learn from it. 


And now for a little Motivation!

 

Big Hugs from here, It's a New Week!

Hot Mama Monday- Goal update 6/16

Good Morning Everyone!

This post is going up a little bit late because I was busy cleaning my basement out this morning and doing other necessary chores. However it is better late than never and it is time to do my weekly goal check in for Hot Mama Monday!!

So here were last week's goals:

1. Stick to my meal plan. No cheating. ~ Did pretty awesome with this. Had a small slip up on Wednesday night because I was really stressed and tired.
2. If a cheat does happen I will get back on track. No dwelling on the mess ups. It will happen occasionally, but I can bounce back right away. ~ Did great with this! My little slip up Wednesday night did not derail me from getting back on track immediately after!
3. 8 glasses of water a day~ No problem, did this one with ease!
4. 30 minutes of some sort of workout activity every day ~ Fail. I tried to be active but honestly I was running around just everywhere last week and then the puppies arrived so...yeah lots of reasons but still fail.
5. Log everything into MyFitnessPal every day. ~ SO CLOSE. I forgot to track it yesterday and ruined my streak! Back to tracking today! 

So that is the goal update! Not too shabby and resulted in a 2.4 pound loss for the week! 

I gotta admit I was sort of hoping for some sort of awesome number on the scale but can't be sad about any loss, even if it isn't the biggest one. I am trying to remember that as long as the scale is moving down then I am going in the right direction, no matter how fast it is moving! 

So here are the goals for this week: 

1) Continue to stick to my meal plan.

2) Track every day!

3) Up the water intake to a gallon a day!

4) 30 minutes of activity a day. 

5) Try to come up with smarter snack ideas so that the time between lunch and dinner is not miserable! (this was my issue and ended with the slip up on Wednesday!) 

 So there they are! 

Any goals for your week? Anyone have a spectacular weight loss this past week? Let me hear from ya!

Big hugs from here! Have a great Monday!

Hot Mama Monday- The Return

Good Morning Everyone,

So today I am bringing back Hot Mama Monday.


I'm going to be honest here. I have not been doing well in the whole weight loss department. In fact all I have really managed to do is not gain anything and honestly this is not the weight that I want to be "maintaining". I am really tired of feeling the way that I feel. I hate looking into a closet of clothes and just picking what "fits" instead of what I really want to wear. I am tired of feeling self conscience about everything I wear and how I look. I am tired of avoiding the camera or if someone does take a picture immediately having a panic attack over how I can get them to delete it and if they don't delete it, is it going to end up on social media and what will people think when they see how horrible I look? ----This is not a way to live.


So I thought it was time to bring back this little series for a bit of accountability. I will be checking in weekly with how I am progressing with my goals. I will list my goals for the week every Monday and every Monday following I will just let you all know what is going on and how I did for the week! 

So here are this week's goals:

1. Stick to my meal plan. No cheating. 

2. If a cheat does happen I will get back on track. No dwelling on the mess ups. It will happen occasionally, but I can bounce back right away. 

3. 8 glasses of water a day

4. 30 minutes of some sort of workout activity every day

5. Log everything into MyFitnessPal every day


So there are this week's goals. Hopefully I will be able to come back here next Monday and let you all know that I stuck to them! 

Okay, I am out of here to catch up on all the cleaning and things that need to be done since we spent the weekend partyin' it up at Kyra's Birthday! I will be doing a birthday post tomorrow with pictures and recap! 

Big hugs to all, Have a great day!
