Okay, it's a late start for me, but I AM back this week. The holidays just kept making it more difficult, and I haven't logged for a couple weeks (eek!), BUT I have logged everything so far today! I need to get back in routine because it was working for me!

Glad to see the new faces, and welcome back to those that have come back! I look forward to getting to know you!

Let's see, simple goals this week. I'll work my way back into things by next week! (A non-marked goal lol)

1. Cardio at least 3 days for 45 minutes
2. Make 2 new homemade meals for the week
3. Stretch everyday
4. Log it!
5. <1700 calories/day

I think that's a start... My own personal goal is not to procrastinate on homework! My term started up to Joanna, and I was crazy enough to sign up for two classes: Information Technology and Quantitative Analysis! I'm excited

Speaking of which, off to read!

Ama, I swear we were separated at birth. I have a scrapbook project ready to launch, too, lol!

Glad to see you Krystal! I hope you enjoy your classes!

Feeling a little sniffly today but my 4-hour eval no-showed, so there's really no excuse for me not to go get some exercise .

Good luck, Krystal! I started back in on some research today, although I still think I'm gonna work a short day. Probably go home around 3, go for a run and whatnot. I'll be swamped before too long, so I'm going to take the slow start as I can get it!

I forgot to post goals yesterday. My goal is to do the right thing, and to avoid doing wrong things. But I guess I could write it out

1.) Calories under 1400/day: M - Y
2.) Stick with C25k program: M - off
3.) Walk to car x4: M - Y

Um, so that's all I can think of for now, if I have any other ideas, I'll add them later.

I took a tip from the above and used half a goat cheese medallion as a condiment. I had oversalted salmon from dinner last night so threw it with 3 (unsalted) scrambled eggs and some goat cheese. Scrumptious and filling.


Goals:
Log meals every day. Y
Walk at least 20 minutes each day. Y
Get at least 8 hours of sleep each night Y

Haha! Maybe we were Sister! I have been into Creative Memories for several years. I just finished my wedding album last week, and need to finish DS 2 baby books, and my honeymoon album. I attend a scrapbooking retreat every January for an entire weekend (coming up in 2 weeks). There are 12 ladies that attend and we each have a 6 foot table to spread our projects out on. And there is a chef that preps all our meals! Needless to say I don't count any calories on retreat weekend!

What project are you getting ready to launch?

Uh...the whole thing, practically. Embarrassingly, I've only gotten up to my son's second year! I feel like a terrible mom that I don't have his baby albums done (he is 16). I have the materials; in fact, his day care teacher was the one who sold Creative Memories, and I've picked up things here and there. I do a few pages at a time but somehow life always intervenes and I never keep it going, especially after I became self-employed. But I have recently vowed to have all his pics and memories (pictures, notes, artwork, some priceless school assignments, newspaper clippings) in albums by the time he leaves for college . So that gives me 2.5 years! You are obviously more on the ball than I! Your retreat sounds awesome...enjoy it!

Molly, good thinking on your meal. See, Hope, not boring...helpful!

Bleh, I definitely feel I'm coming down with something. I was lucky to duck the horrible head/chest cold the boys had back in early Dec; I hope this is not the same thing. Fortunately I had "planned-overs" on the menu tonight: homemade chicken-tomato veggie soup and probably some nice quality grilled cheese on homemade bread.

Really, now, off to the basement to hit the bike or treadmill.
