Update on goals for this week:
- two extra, non-running workouts -
M: 25 min DVD workout
T: 20 min walking up and down stairs at work
Th: 4 hour hike DONE
- overall 1,000 calorie deficit for the week - Ha, ha, ha - FitDay generously calculated 1,147 cal for the hike, and combined with the calories from the run on the same day I got over 1,600 from exercise on July 4th, and then it kind of went downhill from there...
For the remaining days the planned deficit quickly turned into a surplus - not a huge one, but a surplus nevertheless. I am not even stepping into the room where the scale is!
- walking challenge - 10 miles - M: 2.5 mi, T: 3 mi, W: 3.3, Fri: 2 DONE

For yesterday:
1.) Be okay with number of calories I eat (and I'll be honest about it!) - M: mm, I could have done better, but I also avoided cheesecake, so my blood sugar thanked me for that, T: Yes, W: I'm giving this one a no. , Th: Yes, and it was frickin' hard too - I wanted to eat all the food in the universe, F: I wish I had been a wee bit more controlled, Sa: Higher than I'd like, but still decent
2.) Drink 64 oz. water/day - M: Y, T: I think I failed, W: Y, Th: Y, F: Almost, I'm counting it, Sa: Y
3.) Exercise
M: Gym - Done
T: Run 4 miles - Done, even though I thought I was going to die
W: Gym - Sort of... I went, but only stayed for like 10 minutes because my blood sugar was weird and I didn't feel like doing it... not my best moment but I suppose not my worst
Th: Run 3 miles - Done
F: Gym - Done
Sa: off - Done
Su: Run 4 miles
I was just about to go for my run when a giant storm rolled through
I'm not sure if I'll get it in today, but I've still got a couple hours left before I run out of light.

Overall I am happy with the week, Mern haha the bears are out and about, they had to set traps in city limits, they are coming after the garbage.
Too hot to work out today.
I have to think about next week's goals as I have to go away (5 hours drive) to take my son to see a specialist for his eyes. This will break up my normal routine so I just might make total goals this coming week.
