July 10, 2018 by Carol4 Comments

I did pretty good hitting my step goal this week and I even made it to the gym once. I have not been so great at getting 8 hours of sleep though. This Week's Activities: Thursday - Elliptical Sunday - Yard work Current Audiobook: Finished The Word Is Murder by Anthony Horowitz. I think next up might be American Eden by Victoria Johnson. Meal ideas for next week: This week is tough for dinner. We have VBS at church, which means my husband heads straight over there after work. I made pizza pockets for tonight which are easy to grab and go. I'm thinking about making some taco pockets or veggie pita sandwiches for later this week. What do you eat when you don't have time to sit down? Then this weekend, we're heading to the lake, which usually means burgers and hotdogs on the grill and pizza. Maybe I'll see if we can rent canoes one day. 2018 Fitness Goals: - Lose weight. Goal - Lose 25 lbs. -...

As I mentioned the other day, I have been crazy busy lately, between graduation stuff, new job and now this week my husband's out of town. I did manage to hit my step goal this week, but that's about all I've been doing, aside from eating way too much pasta. All graduation parties around here are pasta heavy. Is it that way everywhere? Current Audiobook: (It is Readers Workouts after all) The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie, read by Hugh Fraser Meal ideas for next week: Sloppy joes with zucchini apple hash Chicken parmesan soup Sweet and sour pork Chicken tacos 2018 Fitness Goals: Since I totally lost track for like a month, there's no way I'm going to hit these goals. - Lose weight. Goal - Lose 25 lbs. (I have made no progress on this. Any suggestions? I know eat better and exercise, but any ideas on how to actually accomplish that?) - Run 4 races of any length - Hit my weekly step goal (average 8,000 steps/day) for 36...
