Merry Monday Morning!

We're all in this together, so let's make some SMART Goals!

S. = Specific
M. = Measurable
A. = Attainable
R. = Realistic and
T. = Time Based



Daily Goals:
1. Drink 2L of water
2. Engage in purposeful exercise
3. Stretch twice
4. Log everything

New Year's Resolutions:
1. Complete half marathon
2. Learn how to prepare 14 meals
3. Identify and banish migraine triggers

w00t w00t! I might change up my goals. I'll be SMART with it. I'll be posting them shortly. I'm ready for a good week!

Have you ever completed a 1/2 marathon? Are you setting any sort of a time goal? If you haven't tried one before, the Rock n Roll (half) Marathon series is pretty fun!

My smart based goals are:

1) 12k steps per day
2) 100 oz of water daily
3) Log foods (haven't done that in ages)
4) 750 cal deficient per day
5) Weigh in on Friday
6)at least stay in zootnarf's shadow and not get left in her dust

I haven't completed one yet! I was training for my first all those years ago and now I'm finally going to do it! I'm not far enough into training to really have a good handle on what time I would be going for, but you know once I do that I'll be posting that baby up more than a newborn on facebook!

Goal Check in:
1. Drink 2L of water: 1.0
2. Engage in purposeful exercise: No
3. Stretch twice: Yes
4. Log everything: YES!

Bahahahaha! You are certainly off to a good start so far this week. Nice Monday!

This last weekend was non-stop socializing with friends, but I managed to do pretty ok with the food and fitness goals. I didn't hit every goal, but survived sitting in front of plates of cookies and candies for hours without too much damage. I'll take it.

Moving on to this week, same goals as last week.
Goals for the week:

1) Calories under 1,400 (6 days): M-No (1,731)
2) 10,000 steps (7 days): M-Yes (16,398)
3) Log all food (7 days): M-Yes
4) Stairs (3 days): M-No
5) Strength band exercises (3 days): M-No

1) 12k steps per day: m-yes (16062)
2) 100 oz of water daily: m-yes (118.3)
3) Log foods (haven't done that in ages): m-yes
4) 750 cal deficient per day: m-(-1990)
5) Weigh in on Friday
6)at least stay in zootnarf's shadow and not get left in her dust: m-yes

Good on logging and stretching! Like Nike says, just do it!

You have plenty of time to get in the stairs and band exercise in. You're killing it. Watching your numbers climbs forces me to get out my chair.

And seeing you nipping at my heels makes me find an excuse to walk down to other offices. My secretary even noticed and said I was all over the place!

Crazy thing with the Weekend Warrior Challenge, I saw the my cousin Nick had barely passed me up. About 1/2 hour before it ended (11:30 CST) I got up and walked around the house, I couldn't let him edge me out like that. I went to bed right before it ended, about a hundred or so steps ahead of him. Wake up and it says he beat me. I texted him to see if he got in some last minute walking, he said he didn't, he had been in bed since 9pm. I got scammed out of that one. No more close ones for him!
