Goals for week of Feb 2nd...

Weekly
Workout 3X this week
Clip coupons


Monthly
Learn about essential oils
Keep focused on 5K


Last month I didn't look into oils but I I'd like to start learning slowing. Living healthy is a lifestyle and a choice. I don't eat organic as it's a little too pricey for me but I try to buy natural and make healthy choices as much as I can. There is a lot to learn about oils and eating healthy and that's why it's a lifestyle!If you don't make it a lifestyle then you'll stop and be ok with it. If you have any tips, suggestions, or ideas please share. Sharing is Caring :)

Goals or week of Jan 19th

   I'm gonna start off my being honest. I haven't been completing my goals and I'm a bit bummed. Working out just hasn't happened for me but I'm going to try my hardest to make a difference this week! 

So as for as my goals 
1) I switched my electric company
2) Switched my internet provider

Those are the only goals I completed, smh. 

This weeks goals
1) I'd enjoy working out 2x
2) Try a sewing project
3) Clip my coupons

Small this week but effective :) 

Meal planning for week of 1/12

   I tend to stay up late on the weekends which is my time. So this past Friday I decided to reorganize ( more like clean out)  the pantry/ kitchen. I looked in cabinets and got rid of stuff that didn't belong here (meaning gave mom her stuff back),  threw stuff away, and got a few items to give away. While doing that I found items I forgot about, lol, who else has done that?  

All of these meals are based on what we have at home right now

Breakfast
Pancakes/ Waffles
Eggs
Cereal
Oatmeal

Lunch
Left overs
Tuna
PB&J sandwiches


Dinner
Chicken Tortilla soup ( I actually made this Saturday with beans, it was supper for Sat & Sun)  
Grilled Chicken w/ mashed potatoes
Wolf Brand Chili
Tostada
Rice and Beans w/ corn bread
Steak
Pork lion
Chicken w/ cream of mushroom

Good morning... Goal time

Okay so it's not really morning, more like afternoon. (it's 1:37 pm) Whew,  writing to me is a way to let it go and I'm enjoying it. It's Goal Monday so lets go.

Not too much this week as you can see. I'm trying to have fewer goals as I'm trying to learn to not overwhelm myself which then turns into disappointment. 

Post yours so we can support each other.... 

   How's it going this 2015? It being Wednesday I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't post goals this week. My goal was to start working out 3-5x's a week from now on since I'm going to jog/run  a 5K this year. When I was doing therapy and having to dig deep I set this out as one of my goals. I wanted to do a 5K. About a month after I was able to fully walk hubby signed us up for one and even though I wasn't ready (fitness wise) I wasn't going to let that stop me. We took both kids and went for it. It took us a little over an hour but it was okay, I was just proud we did it. I was proud of me. Through everything I was going through all I could think of was my children. It was my driving force through my emotional roller coaster. 

   We've walked 2 5K's and I did a mile walk. (I was going to do the 5K but my son fell and didn't want to walk anymore.) This year I will complete my almost 2 yr goal. When visiting with my nephews during Thanksgiving we started speaking about 5K's and we decided to do one together. I was excited because it means I'd get to spend time with my nephews but also get to complete my goal with people that understand the feeling of doing these races. You always want support but a lot of times people just don't get it and kind of give that crooked eye, lol. 

   We've done the Heart Association & March of Dimes walks but I want something FUN. These races are for great causes but are emotional. My father and grandmother had heart issues and my 2nd cousin was born prematurely. The MoD walk was hard to complete when you see so many teams with personalized t-shirts of babies that didn't make it and the ones on the other side that did. With all that being said The Color Run is something I'm looking forward to. I'm ready to get Colorful!! I looked at their website and they explained you can spray it with vinegar and iron for the color to stay, yes I will be doing this : )

   For the down side of all of this, I can't run a mile! Yes, you read that right, I can't run a mile! So I looked up how to train for a 5K and I was ready. I've had a little bump in the road this week (like usual) but I'm looking forward to next week to get this training started. Hopefully I can get one workout this week, do you think if I sneak out they'll notice? Lol, yeah they will. I can't wait for it to warm up just a bit, it will be slightly easier to get out and keep a workout schedule. The 20's and 30's are kicking me in the rear.....
