Treadmill Woes and Goals

Ugh It seems that it has happened... New Years is no longer fresh in my mind and I have completely gone off the deep end, maybe I am being a little dramatic but I would like to get more focused again on a few things. In the last couple of weeks I have not blogged, gone to the gym only a couple times a week, and have not been keeping up with my healthy eating habits. I also have not been creating my weekly goals so I am going to start doing that again.

Goals

Stay within my points for weight watchers.

Work out 3-4 times this week.

Blog twice this week.

File taxes.

Make more time for homework.

Clean and organize office.

Autobiography for school

Resume for school.
I again think the best way to achieve goals is to have a plan.
To stay within my points I am going to plan what I will eat the next day and add everything to the tracker as soon as possible. In the last couple of days I have been grazing but not on fruits and veggies.

I am going to the gym tonight, tomorrow night, and friday night. I wll try to go to work out in the mornings on Wednesday and Thursday but I will make no promises. Saturday and Sunday I would like to try to go to the gym at least one of those mornings. Tonight I am going to run, tomorrow I will do the eliptical, Friday I will run. I will also run on Saturday or Sunday.

I did this post tonight and I will do a post again Friday night or Saturday morning.

Hopefully the husband and I can do the taxes on Friday. I might try to plan a nice dinner at home, followed by taxes, and maybe a movie or working on the office.

I tend to procastinate and I actually hate this quality. I really try to think of everything I can do but my homework on the weekends and then when I sit down to do it I am usually watching tv. I am sure you can take away from that, that I do not get much homework done. I plan to do homework tonight and tomorrow nights as well as doing some on Saturday and Sunday.

I want to get my office cleaned and organized so I can use that for homework(away from the computer). I would also like to make this the place to do bills and other financial business. I am going to look around my house tonight for stuff I can use to organize the office and see what I can get rid of.

I have an autobiography and resume due by Feb. 18th so I plan to work on both of these on Saturday and Sunday.
As we know the best laid plans can fall through but I am going to do my best to keep up with it...
 
I went to the gym earlier tonight because the husband made it home earlier but dang if there wasn't someone on the only working treadmill.  I hate to complain but I pay a hefty HOA fee and my neighborhood gym has only two treadmills and for the past month 1 of the 2 treadmills is always broken.  So I made do with an eliptical for the first 21 minutes and moved over to the treadmill to run for 30 minutes.  My run felt great and I really pushed myself to go faster then I am use to.  The last 5 minute jog I started at 6.0 speed and increased every 30 seconds.  I am really starting to fall in love with running I just need to remember that feeling when I think I would rather stay home!!!
