I'm in for the new week. Goals for this week - one week at a time:
*exercise daily and add it my fitday details.
*cut the bad stuff and eat plenty of the good stuff and not go hungry
*stop worrying about whether I'm loosing or not and trust that if I stick to the plan, something will be working.
*think about realistic goals for next week.
good luck everyone. L

Looks like you could be on for your goal in March. So pleased you are doing so well. Love the other goals. Good not to be thinking food and weightloss all the time! L

Ha! Unfortunately no. The powers that be frown upon sleeping on the job. I have however asked if I could start taking 30 minute power naps and get paid for them. I am thoroughly convinced that if they paid me to take a nap, only 30 little minutes a day, that I'd get more accomplished. But they said no. SMH

Alright, so here is the final tally for the week...
My goals were:
-Keep carbs, fat and protein at 40/30/30. It averaged out about right
-Plan and prepare ahead so I don't come home at 5:00 having no idea what I'm doing for dinner. This went very well.
-Drop another pound. I started the week at 153 and ended at 152.
-Exercise, at least 2 cardio and 2 strength workouts this week. Time to get more structured with this.n It felt really good to get moving. So good that I went well over on this goal.
-Get minimum of 7 hours sleep each night. I don't really know how I'm going to do this, but last weeks bout of insomnia was no fun. Nope. I tried, and I did improve my sleep, but I'm most productive in the lat evening and trying to get to bed earlier made me feel like I wasn't getting anything done.
- Complete 3 course assignments and start final paper. No point in creating undue stress for myself by procrastinating.submitted the last assignment yesterday.
- Finish putting away the last of the Christmas stuff and give the livingroom a good cleaning. I put away the Christmas stuff, but the room still needs a good cleaning.

I logged skiing as "skiing general", and according to fitday I burn about 7 calories/minute. So yeah, that's pretty good, less than running, but way more than the stationary bike (and let's face it, a whole lot more fun than the gym!). We were there about 4.5 hours, but I only logged 2.5 as skiing, since it's a short hill and you spend about 1/2 the time on the lift. I'm not a terribly good skier, but I will go faster down the hill behind my kids than I would choose to go on my own, that's for sure. Good grief the kiddies are all getting to be so good it's not even funny. Lickity-split down the hill, like demons I swear. Yesterday they were all invited to join the Jr. Ski Patrol. Unfortunately with swimming I'm not sure we can swing it. Maybe next year.
